Basic washroom with a cold shower. Sometimes a bit noisy in the morning when all the atv’s and motorcycles start but that’s because the locals are up even earlier getting ready for the day’s tourist expeditions. Close to restaurants and the beach. Would definitely stay again ##### Robert Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elizabeth 18 Feb 2024 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Very noisy, the reception area was right under our room and there were chinks of light coming through the floorboards as well into the next room. You could actually see into the next room The water shut off randomly but the AC was awesome. Pretty much what you would expect for under $50/night. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andre 19 May 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good location but with very old facilities The place has a good location in the city, but all the facilities (kitchen and appliances) are very old and nothing like the photos. Also the hosts don’t give any information about the place and activities…. just give you the key and you are on your own. ##### Andre Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jessica 11 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Ça a été très compliqué pour avoir notre chambre (1- parce que Google Map ne nous amenait pas au bon endroit; 2- parce que la personne a la réception ne parlait pas anglais, ni français; 3- parce que notre chambre n’était pas prête même si l’heure d’arrivée était passée). Nous avions pris 2 nuits et nous avons manqué de papier de toilette….. cela dit, l’emplacement est pratique, avec cuisine complète et salle de lavage dans notre villa avec balcon. Endroit propre. ##### Jessica Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric 7 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lost in paradise Vista drake lodge is amazing. We stayed for 4 nights. We even got an upgrade to one of the lodges! The views from there are amazing overlooking drake bay and you just want to chill on the porch in your personal hammock forever. The lodgings are in the center of town and everything can be reached by foot. Emmanuel also hosts a lot of tours, gives great advice and we got a special breakfast on the day we left which was super nice! We did some diving on cano island (highly recommended) and went to rio ajuitas with a kayak. The waves on the ocean are tricky (you'll get wet). But uf you do this an hour before sunset you have good chances to see monkeys jumping from one side of the river to the other and get a real jungle experience. ##### Eric Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 26 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay at Vista Drake Staff was super helpful and friendly.

We stayed for 4 nights in a fabulous bungalow with a veranda overlooking the bay. This is a very special place and worth the effort to get to. Drake is a remote little town of back roads and is dusty and dirty with no jetty to jump onto when you get off the boat from Sierpe. However, you are essentially in the jungle surrounded by wildlife so embrace that style of adventure and enjoy it. Emilio is a great host and super helpful in organising tours for you. We highly recommend the Corcovado guided tour and Canò Island snorkelling whilst there, for food go to Claudios grill. There's no aircon but there is a hardly fan. Once you've done your tours jump in those hammocks on the balcony and chill. Only downside are the noise of the motorbikes up and down the street. Do yourself a favour and book into this rugged paradise. Ps take a torch! ##### Susan Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrea 25 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A family-run cabin with personal attention! Emilio was fantastic in helping us book all of our tours and to enjoy our stay in Bahia Drake! He even gave us his personal contact number and we were able to write him at any time with any doubts or questions. Just to let travelers know, Bahia Drake in general is a lot of hills with almost no accommodations directly on the beach, so please take that into account when deciding to go to the area and be aware that you may need to walk up/down hill. :) We really loved our stay in Bahia Drake with Vista Drake, thank you! ##### Andrea Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 22 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service Not friendly at all.

Five stars!! ##### Jeremy ### 6/10 Okay #### benjamin 19 Dec 2016 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### OK This lodge is just OK. Drake Bay is not the sort of place to see luxury accommodation so expectations are lower, but I cant help feeling like there would have been better options for the money. The room was a little disappointing on first impressions and although we only stayed for a couple of nights considered looking at other accommodation whilst there. Service was ok. Two of the lads are great and are really helpful where as others don't speak. I wish I could say better things, but wont be rushing back here and would look elsewhere if we return to Drake. ##### benjamin ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 16 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Tres bon séjour Séjour agreable dans cette cabine avec vue sur la mer. Accueil très chaleureux et serviable. Moustiquaire au-dessus du lit. Seul bémol les serviettes de bain tachées de peintures. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 23 Nov 2016 Liked: Staff & service #### Good for the money. Nothing special. Nice hotel if you know Spanish. Free breakfast is a big plus. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 11 Aug 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Traumhaft.. Wunderschoen.. die anreise mit dem schiff war ein erlebnis. Emilio hat uns in empfang genommen und in die unterkunft gebracht. Auf dem weg dahin sind und die ersten papageien begegnet. Ein einmaliges naturparadies und eine reise wert. Emilio hat sich um alles gekuemmert, z.b. die waesche getrocknet.. und uns sogar im regen zum boot begleitet. Rundum schoen.. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### cynthia, Bethlehem, PA 30 Jul 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful stay at Vista Drake Lodge We had a very pleasant stay at Vista Drake. A woodsy little lodge, it was our favorite lodge out of all the places we stayed. The staff and owner very knowledgable about the area and tours etc. Our room was cozy and clean with comfortable beds. The only negative thing is that you could hear through walls, floors etc very clearly so it could be quite noisy at times but everything was always quiet during night and we slept well. There are some small restaurants, grocery stores and of course the beautiful Drake Bay within short walking distance. ##### cynthia ### 8/10 Good #### Matt, England 24 Feb 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice stay at Vista Drake I stayed at the Vista Drake for 5 nights in February. Vista Drake is a pleasant guest house & I was really pleased with my cabin which was on a hill with a nice view of the bay. There are 3 cabins up a small hill from the main house which I would recommend trying to get if possible. I'm not sure what the other rooms are like but I believe there are some at the main guest house. The guest house is run Emilio and his family, Emilio was very helpful and very willing to help book tours etc. Breakfast is provided, albeit a little bit basic but not too bad. Rooms where cleaned everyday. This is certainly a reasonable priced place to stay. ##### Matt ### 6/10 Okay #### JB, Paris 16 Feb 2015 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Merci au patron L’hôtel n'est pas un exemple de confort, notamment concernant la chambre du bas qui est vieille, pas entretenue, humide etc... Disons que l'on est chez l'habitant. De l'autre les gérants de l'hôtel sont des gens formidables, attachants et la main sur le cœur. Le patron vous donnera les bons coins à visiter sans vous ruiner! De plus il est très engagé sur la situation de son village, de son hôtel, de la gestion des déchets et tous les problèmes liés à l’afflux croissant des touristes. Prenez le temps de discuter avec lui, il vous ouvrira les yeux sur son pays et son engagement. ##### JB ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 15 Feb 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Chambre agréable et gérant très disponible Emplacement pratique, a 100 mètres de la plage où le bateau depuis Sierpe dépose les passagers et du quartier comprenant les restaurants et magasins. Emilio, le gérant est très disponible et de bons conseils. Café, eau et même citronnade l'après midi sont en libre service. Nous avions réservés initialement la chambre caberna mais le gérant nous a laissé le choix avec une autre chambre disponible, la chambre Jacobin. Heureusement car la caberna est au rdc et semblait humide et peu lumineuse. De plus, elle donne sur la terrasse de réception et du petit déjeuner. La jacobin est au 1er étage et est très spacieuse et lumineuse. Elle donne aussi au dessus de l'accueil mais cela ne nous a pas dérangé. De multiples serviettes et shampooing sont disponibles, ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas au Costa Rica.Un bémol, la construction semble être faite a la va-vite et l'isolation phonique entre les chambres est inexistante. Il est même possible d'apercevoir la chambre voisine entre certaines planches. En dehors de ce petit défaut, nous avons passés un très agréable séjour sur place et nous avons apprécié la disponibilité du gérant. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Sole Relax & Panorama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Riva-Del-Garda-Hotels-Hotel-Sole-Relax-Panorama.h2919987.Hotel-Information) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fox and Coney Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brough-Hotels-The-Fox-And-Coney-Inn.h24006539.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Maria Cristina, a Luxury Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Sebastian-Hotels-Hotel-Maria-Cristina.h1967.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [Cloud Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Cloud-Forest-Lodge.h2050850.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Luna Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Luna-Hotel-Spa.h2305532.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belmar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Belmar.h37178213.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Arbatax Park Resort - Telis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tortoli-Hotels-Arbatax-Park-Resort-Telis.h2102725.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Meliá Costa Atlantis Tenerife](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-De-La-Cruz-Hotels-Melia-Costa-Atlantis-Tenerife.h2230926.Hotel-Information) > > [Poas Volcano Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vara-Blanca-Hotels-Poas-Volcano-Lodge.h5259118.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Resort by Wyndham Lara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Antalya-Hotels-Ramada-Resort-By-Wyndham-Lara.h6341099.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Manhattan/Times Square South](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-ManhattanTimes-Square-South.h2211934.Hotel-Information) > > [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Gosforth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gosforth-Newcastle-Upon-Tyne-Hotels.0-n553248622845871869-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LHR) to Frankfurt (FRA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/fra/london-to-frankfurt) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Crumlin (BFS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/bfs/birmingham-to-belfast) ### Cars > [Car hire in Redcar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Redcar.d6085075.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Roses](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Roses.d603030.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Constitution Hill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Constitution-Hill-Aberystwyth.d6086417.Attraction)
