Vista Drake Lodge

The hotel owner is extremely nice and very helpful. I highly recommend arriving by boat. We took a car, it's about a 2 hour drive on a rough dirt road with several river crossings. Drake is a beautiful place, such a small town. If you are looking for some where to go that isn't extremely touristy I highly recommend it staying here!!

Très bien. Seul le petit déjeuner est à améliorer.

Überaus engagiertes hilfsberites und kontaktfreudiges Betreiber. Bei allen Touren Ab- und Anreisen ist es emfehlenswert auf die Betreiber zuzugehen. Emfehlenswert ist es hier auch eine Hütte zu mieten, so hat man den Blick über die gesamte bucht und kann auf die Baumkronen schauen wo sich eine vielzahl Paradiesischer Vögel tummeln. Wir waren 5 Tage dort, und rückblickend hätte ich am liebsten die ganze zeit dort verbracht (ehrlich). Thanks to Eric, Emilio & Co!!!

Emilio is the best hotel manager we had in Costa Rica. Very friendly and helpful. Vista Drake lodge has a good location in Drake bay. We stayed on top of the breakfast room and it was a bit noisy, but the room was big and clean. As a budget alternative we give Vista Drake lodge the best recommendation.

Its quite good and worth this money

The property is misrepresented, way too much money, it should be worth a third of the money they are asking. Paper thin walls (we could hear the guests next door coughing, talking, snoring), no view, cocroaches and ants in the room, water ran out while my husband was showering. Owner is pushy about tours. We had a reservation for two days but since the place was so awful found a place with exellent accomodations and views right next door, for a lot less money!!! We wanted our money back for the second night but owner refused and after arguing for a while gave us back only a partial refund. The next day, he made us sign an invoice stating that we had stayed 2 nights for the cost of the first night, plus what he withheld of the second night. He said it was necessary to sign it so he could get his payment from Hotels.com, but we think he only wanted to save his rump in case we complained.

Our "room" was a suite of 80 Square meters(!) with a large bathroom and our own kitchen. High above Sealevel, with Sea front view. No A/C but 2 large Fans. Close (<100 meters) to the Beach in Drake bay, but about 20 min stroll to the really great Beaches on the Western Coast. The Hotel is close to Restaurants and "Supermarkets" in Drake Bay. Breakfast OK, but not overwhelming.

If you ever want to go to the end Costa Rica, like the end of the world, then go here. One hour and half over a dirt road crossing streams and almost rivers. You must have a 4 wheel drive. The one restruant we ate at was horrible. We left a day early there was nothing there unless you wanted to hike. We could not reach our room because of stairs up a mountain. We ended up in a carport room with no windows.The only good thing is we have a story to tell.

great family business they took care of any needs you had

Very friendly staff that goes out of there way to make sure you have a good time. Great breakfast! My room had no A/C but had a big fan that helped with the heat this time of year.
