Opinions BAHÍA DRAKE WILDERNESS RESORT Drake Bay

Einfach aber ordentlich.
Nettes Personal, sehr gutes Essen.

Beautiful hotel right on the coast. We did two tours, both with Elia as our guide who was absolutely brilliant. She was very informative and fun and was clearly passionate about wildlife.
The other staff were also friendly and helpful.
There was lots of wildlife to see even within the hotel grounds, which was amazing!

Super location, great rooms (cabins), lovely staff and full board. Even has a free clothes washing service that was very welcome! Also a "jetty" so no need to jump in the sea when you arrive.

I will start this review with the caveat that Drake Bay is a remote place and your general expectations for luxury should be lowered slightly. With that said, Drake Bay Wilderness Resort is undoubtably the best piece of property in Drake Bay. The premises are stunning and have 270deg views of the bay. The rooms are basic but clean and have great A/C. Unfortunately some rooms are better than others, and after one night with a nice updated bathroom, we came back and were placed in a room with a very outdated and sad bathroom. The room also had no wifi. Reception did move us upon our request. Unfortunately, we had a few other issues with the reception, and we found them quite awkward, sometimes rude, and hard to deal with. They were not proactive with providing info about the resort, our excursions/timing/it’d interest/what to pack, and other details regarding the resort. Food was very average (breakfast was good and juices were always good) and my boyfriend and I needed to go to town for better food by the third night. All alcoholic drinks are close to $10.

For the location and views I’d recommend it, but not for longer than 1-2 nights. Staff is really accommodating for taking you into town on their boat which I appreciate. Also loved using the kayaks they had on hand!

The service staff was absolutely incredible and deserved their own shoutout. Easier to chat with than the reception. Thanks to Mauricio, Henry, and Alonso!!! They were the best.

Drake Bay Wilderness Resort is a piece of Paradise.
Location, Food, Staff, Excursions were nothing short of Phenomenal.
Extremely friendly and helpful. Out of the three resorts we stayed during our 11 day adventure to Costa Rica, Drake Bay was by far the Best. Wildlife is abundant.
Special Thanks to a wonderful man Henry- Mr Jeff says Hi by the way.
The saddest part about vacation is leaving the people we grew close to.

Excelente lugar

This resort is pure tropical oasis- it is set right on the ocean at the inlet to the river and is along the Drake Bay Hiking trail. You can take the trail either to town or deeper into the rainforest to access incredible beaches and animal sightings.
The rooms are simple but comfortable and air conditioned (a necessity in a place with 70%+ humidity). The meal are truly fantastic, especially dinner each night! The hotel arranged our transportation as well as three phenomenal tours- a mangrove tour, snorkeling, and a visit to Corcovado national park. We highly recommend staying here and can’t wait to be back!

Este sitio es maravilloso. El que más nos ha gustado de nuestra visita a Costa Rica. El personal es increíble, súper atentos, educados y no te falta de nada. La localización es preciosa y puedes hacer excursiones al parque nacional de Corcovado.
Totalmente recomendable. Me encantaría volver!

My wife and I spent 4 nights at the Drake Bay Lodge and really enjoyed our stay. Considering how remote Drake Bay is, the hotel is an oasis just outside Corcovado national park. The meals, while not Michelin star quality, we’re tasty and filling. The tours offered by the resort are top notch and get you out to experience the beauty of the Osa peninsula and Corcovado national park. The rooms are basic but comfortable and most have unobstructed ocean views. Truly wonderful to wake up to the sound of crashing waves. Finally, and maybe most importantly, the staff is fantastic. Alonzo, Anna, and Ryan saw to our every need and the many staff we didn’t meet personally made our stay as great as it was. If you’re looking for a jumping off point for your Osa peninsula adventure, I recommend Drake Bay Lodge.

Rooms large enough. If you want isolated, picturesque, beautiful view, and off the beaten path, this is it. Excellent food that can tailor to different needs.

Labai graži aplinka, bet nepatogu pasiekti, kadangi reikia plaukti su valtim. Personalas labai draugiškas, bet maitinimas silpnokas, o kitur nuvykti sudėtinga. Kambariai švarūs, tvarkomi, betišpildymas ne koks. Kas mėgsta laukinį poilsį visai gerai.

Petit coin perdu avec vue magnifique sur le Pacifique. Personnel au petit soin, très arrangeant et nourriture excellente. Les excursions proposées sont très bien organisées, les bateaux jamais plein à craquer comme pour d'autres lodges dans le coin. Les guides sont compétents et connaissent bien leur sujet. Les chambres sont simple mais confortable et spacieuse. Le wifi est disponible au bar et à la réception. Hotel à recommander sans hésitation.

Here we spent 4 days wonderful in the heart of Parc National du Corcovado. The climate is a little hot and humid for which is not used but nature is exuberant and exceptional: flora and fauna. The bugalows are comfortables and excellent cuisine. Do not miss the boat trips to the island of Caño and many hiking accompanied by the guide hötel. The son of the owner is absolutely adorable and ready to help. Highly recommended.

The location of this resort ideal is located between the sea and the jungle. Excursions are varied and guides are very attractive! (ask Tico!)
