My husband and I stayed 3 nights in one of the eco cabins at Vista Drake Lodge. OVERVIEW: Our cabin was on the hillside about 40 feet above the single lane, hard-packed road where the main lodge building for meals and tour bookings is located and about 100 feet above the Bay itself. It's a very short walk (downhill) to... More

My boyfriend and I spent 4 days in Bahia Drake and had an amazing time thanks to Emilio and his family. Our Room - We stayed in a cabin built by his family (I believe it was his grandfather). The cabin is actually a house with a kitchen but for me the best part were the 2 hammocks on the... More

My wife and I spent 3 nights in the upper room, with screening around 2 sides , with nettting over the bed & a bathroom and shower. The wood floor and interior siding is very pleasing to the eyes. It gave the real feel of being in an exotic place, where you walk to the bay or the very small... More

We loved this place, both the lodge and Drake Bay is amazing!! Emilio is the best host :) So friendly and giving.. We got breakfast, smoothies and dinner served (first two included in the price of 35 USD/room)- it was all so fresh and tasty.. Bahia Drake is also soooooo nice and relaxing. We went on walks to the beaches... More

My husband and I stayed only one night in the cabin with the amazing view. The good: the cabin was clean and the bed comfortable. The cabin has an extra small bed if you have another (small) person. The cabin has screens all around plus a net if you worry about mosquitos. Don`t forget mosquito repellent... however we did not... More

We just completed a wonderful 5-day trip to Drake Bay and were completely captivated and delighted. This is a long review, but the last paragraph summarizes everything. First the background as we learned it. Luis Emilio, a third generation native of the Drake Bay area, runs the facility with his family. He worked at a swanky high-dollar resort previously and...

I have nothing but positive things to say about Vista Drake. The facilities are great, the views are amazing, but above all Luis Emilio is an incredible host. He will welcome you with open arms and make sure that you have a great time in la osa. There is no other place I would want to stay in Bahia Drake.

This place made us stay 7 days longer at Drake Bay. Spacious eco-lodge with a fantastic view. Owned by two very friendly and hospitable tico-brothers who grew up at Drake. They like to tell you everything about it's history, plants, trees, animals, etc. If you're looking for an inside tico-experience, relaxing view, nice food, and a relatively good price... then...

We stayed there a couple of days in one tent and a wooden little house ( there were six of us!) From the hammock in front of your door you enjoy a wonderful view over the whole bay. Emilio, the owner said sometimes you could spot whales directly from your hammock. We didn't see any, but nevertheless it was a... More
