My wife and I look forward to coming back to Drake Bay to visit everyone at Tranquilo Lodge again in the future ! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/15d587ca-0680-49a1-9fa4-63b936915b09-1746468993027.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b260397a-24fd-4b93-9570-4e8666919bf4-1746468990103.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jonathan Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ulrike 22 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Luxury Perfected We had a phenomenal stay and I couldn't recommend this place more. Like everyone said, the food is incredible and some of (if not) the best food we've had in all of Costa Rica. Both the owners as well as the staff go over and beyond to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. The villas are spacious, clean and luxurious. We went on two tours that were organised by the hotel, the snorkling one as well as one to Sirena national park - both of them incredible! Keep it up team Tranquilo :). ##### Ulrike Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Isabella 4 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing stay! We came here for our honeymoon, and it was the perfect choice. One of the owners of the lodge, Sebastien, even picked us up and dropped us off at the airport himself. We were really impressed with this level of service! He and his partner, Christophe, were always so kind to us. Christophe even went above and beyond to help us get money back when we encountered a scam off of the resort. All of our meals were incredible! It was really fun to be surprised at each meal with what was being served, and we never had anything we didn’t like. They were very helpful in making sure we had everything we needed for our excursions and even walked us to the beach to make sure we got one the right boat. One of our favorite experiences was walking to the beach with the lodge dog- Oro! Our first walk down, he was our guide! It was very impressive and adorable. The honeymoon suite was amazing! It is off on its own, so you get a little extra privacy. The views are amazing too. We would love to come back here again one day and would recommend this spot wholeheartedly. ##### Isabella Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brandon 9 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay in Costa Rica was absolutely magical! The views were breathtaking—every morning felt like waking up in paradise. The owners went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home, even accommodating my limited dietary needs with such thoughtfulness and care. We stayed in the honeymoon suite, which was a perfect choice for a romantic getaway. The room was luxurious, and the attention to detail was outstanding. Our bed was remade twice a day and turned down each evening with a small candy left for us, which was an incredibly sweet touch. One thing to note is that after arriving at the international airport, you need to take a smaller plane to reach the area. We were slightly unaware of this at first, but with a little planning, it’s perfectly fine. The lodge takes care of everything—they pick you up at the smaller airport right away and take you straight to the property. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a welcome drink and snack, which was such a lovely and thoughtful way to start our stay. The staff were all so kind and attentive. They were always on time and made everything seamless, from escorting us to our excursions to checking in daily to ensure our experience was exactly as we wanted. Having someone guide or accompany us to each activity added such a personal touch to the trip. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that exceeded our expectations. We felt so well cared for and genuinely appreciated. I would highly recommend this place to couples! ##### Brandon Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maryjane 10 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities First off, the staff at this quaint lodge were hands down amazing. Enrique and Christina took care of all our food and beverage needs and then some! Silvia, the manager, handled all our other needs quickly and made us feel special! The cleaning crew made sure our room was like new every day! Christophe and Sebastian checked in with us daily to make sure everything was going smoothly for us. Christophe even hooked us up with the airport pickup upon our departure and overnight stay in San Jose before leaving Costa Rica. The food stole the show at this location! Unique dishes were presented at each lunch and dinner that combined locally grown foods with a healthy I’d say European flair! Outstanding \~ well done chefs! Even the desserts were a surprise! If I could change anything about the stay it would have been the pillows and having a regular coffee maker in the room! I’m super picky about my pillow tho!!! And the European espresso machines are just not my thing! So really these are minor complaints and a matter of one’s personal taste! Lastly, the property itself is set up high to afford an amazing view of the ocean. Birds are a plenty with Toucans landing on the trees above the pool area. We also got to see the humpback whales on our snorkel tour. If you are looking for a unique, personal experience in a lush location with an ocean view, this is your spot! ##### Maryjane Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 4 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful location.

The staff was amazingly helpful in every way. We were among the treetops, so it was secluded, quiet, and we got to see the wildlife nearby. Bed was wonderful, food was delicious, and Christophe and Sebastian are incredible hosts! Thank you so much! If we every return to Costa Rica, this is where we'll stay!! ##### Rochelle Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John&TessH 29 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great food cooked by a gourmet chef! Personal TLC from the two very involved owners. We had a very private casita that included a our own spotlessly clean mini pool. Staff was involved with everything from our airport pickup to doing our laundry at no charge. We will be back! ##### John&TessH Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Molly 10 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property was beautiful. Out of the 6 places we stayed, this was our favorite! It was secluded and safe. The privacy of the rooms and front porches was amazing. The views, sunsets, and wildlife showed all Costa rica had to offer. The owners and staff were hands down the best part. You could tell how much they cared and loved what they do. The chef was the best!!! Make sure to visit Tranquilo when in Costa Rica. ##### Molly ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia 23 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Tranquilo Lodge is THE place to stay in Drake Bay! Sebastien, Christophe, Gonzalo and all staff we are so kind, accommodating, and full of information about the property and Drake Bay. The room was spotless, very well appointed, and so comfortable! And the food was absolutely incredible! Each meal was given so much attention, with each ingredient coming from the property. And the mixed drinks were absolutely delicious, thank you Gonzalo! They arranged all of our excursions, provided snacks, and even early breakfast when we had to be out by dawn. Such an amazing experience! ##### Julia Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Siobhan 24 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Died and went to heaven here I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. I was picked up by Christophe at the airstrip and he was so friendly and welcoming. On arrival Sebastien welcomed me and they are just gorgeous. My bags disappeared to my room without me noticing whilst they started feeding me. The service, the environment, the rooms and the food are just exquisite. Nothing is too much. I loved this place and would love to go back again as I was in my happy place. Highly recommend 😍 ##### Siobhan Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rahel 20 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Wonderful garden and pool, very good food, friendly staff. However: Unfriendly e-mail messages from the owners (nb their e-mails often only found in spam). Even after arrival at the hotel further e-mails from the absent owners despite normal communication with the staff. The final bill was paid by credit card on departure. Daily reminders follow to pay this amount again with paypal. ##### Rahel Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anouk 2 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Incroyable endroit de rêves, nourriture exceptionnelle, service impeccable.

Auch die Zimmer sind sehr schön und bequem. Und der Pool angenehm kühl. Cristina war meistens in der Küche am Mithelfen und war immer da. Sie war so unglaublich nett und hilfsbereit!

The property doesn’t have many villas / rooms so we felt very well looked after at all times and Gonzalo in particular made sure we got to enjoy the amenities to the fullest. The hotel has a great hillside location with amazing view, dinners at sunset will be memorable. Christophe and Sebastian made sure that our trip including transit and excursions were as enjoyable as possible. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### María Celia 12 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Impecable!!!
