Drake Bay River View

Nice location. Great river to swim in and breakfast was fantastic. Great service and communication.

We stayed for 3 nights at Drake Bay River View. When we met Olman, the property manager, in town & were escorted to the property, he said “Welcome to paradise “ & it WAS paradise. Where do I begin, the grounds are beautiful, there is a river fed by mountain rain water & a natural pool has been created by the falling water. You can go down there & swim , lay in a hammock, or sit by the river. The staff do an outstanding job of cleaning. The room had fresh flowers, well decorated & the towels are high end quality. Breakfast are served to your liking. Olman was incredibly hospitable. He was like our personal concierge. He booked excursions for us, made recommendations for restaurants in the evening & booked reservations at the restaurants for us. He met us at the ocean beach when we were done with excursions to see how we were doing & if we had any needs. He said that River View will transport quests if they do not have a car. He also offers to pick up food from restaurants & bring to your room if you would like. All of the restaurants that we ate at in town were very good. The location is only 10 minutes from downtown, which I thought was great to be away from the crowd but nearby.

All exceptional.

The property was stunning; surrounded by a rainforest and with a river running close by, in which you can swim, if you like; or observe animals like we did. It was an incredible experience to wake up in the morning and listen to the sounds of the different birds and mammals that lived around us. The accommodation itself was luxurious, clean and well kept. It was beautiful! An amazing experience.

The property seems to be a bit further away from the general hustle and bustle of the Drake Bay- which at first may scare you off. However, worry not- you will be greatly taken care of. During our stay, we were offered many fantastic activities and if we needed to travel to the downtown, at no extra cost, we were chaperoned by the staff.

Fantastic, secluded and quiet place surrounded by jungle with a private river where you can take a dip anytime - while still being only a 10mins drive away from the centre of Drake Bay. The room is great, cool at night, super clean and kitted with everything you might need. Also, the mattress was soo comfortable, like sleeping on clouds! Olman and his team are brilliant, super attentive to detail, helpful and efficient. Olman also recommended some delicious places to eat, which did not disappoint! Do not be discouraged by the lack of reviews, it is only because it is completely new - go for it!

Nothing at all - we regret not staying longer!

Incredible stuff, beautiful location, fantastic experience!
