The Tranquilo Lodge

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.

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 😍

Easily the most relaxing and beautiful place to stay in Drake. Christophe & Sebastian make sure you are completely looked after and the team are very attentive. The food is amazing. If you're looking for a relaxed remote get away, this is it! Wish I'd booked longer!

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.

We loved our stay. 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!!

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!

We had a fantastic time at Tranquilo lodge. 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.

Fantastic. Very nice grounds and a dedicated staff

Tranquilo Lodge truly is a piece of heaven on earth. The expansive vistas are incredible, and the sunset is superb. The Chef produces delicious meals with locally sourced products and flavours that have you constantly salivating for the next course. And the staff, I honestly cannot compliment Lily, Gonzalo and Alexander enough, Lily is remarkable in her organizational skills and attention to the finest of details. Her passion and dedication to the Lodge and all it stands for, excellence on every level is exceptional. Her team follow her lead and rise above on all occasions. Gonzalo and Alexander compliment every occasion with their eagerness to provide the best service experience possible. The spa was a treat and to walk a deserted beach with local dogs and have the ocean to ourselves to swim in was fabulous, and an easy walk from Tranquilo. However the two beautiful onsite pools will make it difficult to want to make the short walk. The rooms are lovely and well appointed with dramatic views and great natural breezes. Having monkeys romp through the jungle surrounding the property and macaws flying overhead rounds up this exquisite property and experience. Please treat yourselves to this fabulous experience, you will be so glad you did.

Christophe and Sebastien, the warm and wonderful hosts and owners of the Tranquilo Lodge, were welcoming and accommodating even prior to my arrival. The hosts reached out through Expedia to make all necessary arrangements from dietary restrictions to booking all excursions that I was interested in. My reception at the Bahía Drake airport was perfect and the travel to the Lodge wonderful. Arrival at the Lodge exceeded my imagination - it was truly paradise. My stay only improved from there. The team at the Lodge welcomed me as though I was a part of their family. The Tranquilo team took care of all details and helped guide me providing all necessary information. The service at the lodge was spectacular. The Tranquilo is a clean, beautiful property. The team is warm, inviting and truly make you feel welcome. The views are spectacular. This is a place I plan to return to many times in my life. Thank you Christophe, Sebastien and your entire team!
