Guest Reviews
- Solène (10/5): - La tranquillité, la proximité avec la nature, les 2 piscines, les repas et la qualité de la chambre.
- Alice (9/5): - We had a wonderful stay at Tranquilo Lodge overall and would absolutely recommend it. The setting is truly spectacular — the views are breathtaking, the rooms are beautiful and very comfortable, and the overall atmosphere feels peaceful and well curated. What stood out the most was the quality of the service: the staff were exceptionally warm, attentive, and genuinely excellent at customer care. We also really appreciated the flexibility at checkout — being allowed to check out at 2pm at no extra cost was a thoughtful gesture. Dinner was consistently excellent, lunch was overall good but could be slightly improved (sometimes very good, sometimes not very healthy). The diving excursion was fantastic. Make sure you receive the excursion details to avoid any confusion - The only issue during our stay involved an excursion booked through the lodge. We hadn't received a detailed itinerary in advance, which led to a misunderstanding with the guide, who had not checked the details and thought we were continuing on to the San Pedrillo entry in Corcovado Park—even though no entry tickets had been purchased. As a result, we were temporarily stranded there while he arranged a return boat and then a taxi, resulting in about 1.5 hours of lost time. Additionally, when the situation arose, the lodge was unavailable to help, leaving the guide to sort it out on his own. I also recommend asking about the boat in advance, as their website currently states you can take a public boat to Drake Bay: "Take the public boat from Sierpe to Bahia Drake." However, in reality, they require you to choose a specific boat from the available options. The owners proactively offer add-ons throughout your stay — well-intentioned, though it can feel frequent and commercial in such a beautiful and natural place. That said, aside from this logistical hiccup, the experience was excellent, and the hospitality truly stood out. The location, service quality, and overall atmosphere make this a very special place, and we left with very positive memories of our stay.
- Alexander (10/5): - Freundliche Gastgeber, mehr als persönlich bemüht, traumhafte Lage, vorzügliches Essen - ALLES TOP!!
- Anita Landis (10/5): - Die Anfahrt über Schotter Piste mit Mietauto abenteuerlich, jedoch lohnenswert. Die Touren mit einheimischen Führer sehr informativ. Wir haben es genossen, Personal sehr hilfsbereit, die Küche erstklassig. Anita Paar Schweiz
- Christof (9/5): -
- Linda (8/5): -
- Philippe (10/5): Parfait !!! A refaire sans hésitation!! - Ensemble de la prestation parfait - on a eu du mal a partir car on s´est senti ¨comme à la maison¨. Personnel attentif et dédié au bien être des clients. l´alimention est très variée et très bonne. Petits déjeuners à la carte !! TOP!! Les petits détails de la déco, le travail omnis présents des deux patrons ont aussi fait la différence. Merci encore Christophe et Sébastien !! Rien à redire!!
- Helen (8/5): Lovely trip - saw a lot of wildlife. - Location and excellent staff. Great trips.
- Marc (10/5): Traumhaft - Alles überragend, Lage, Service, Essen; besser geht kaum, und alles umin paradiesischer Umgebung Wlan schwach, Fitnessraum könnte besser ausgestattet sein
- Eva-Maria (10/5): - Dieses Hotel hat wirklich 5 Sterne verdient. Durch die Hanglage hat man einen grandiosen Blick auf die Landschaft und das Meer. Die Bungalows sind gepflegt, liebevoll und im Detail ausgestattet und mit der Hängematte und der Liege auf der Terrasse hatten wir das Gefühl ein kleines Stück vom Paradies zu bewohnen. Das Serviceteam ist großartig. Wir hatten jederzeit einen Ansprechpartner, der uns mit Rat und Tat zu Seite stand, alles war sehr sauber und das Essen köstlich. Hier wird mit Herzblut gearbeitet. Wir hatten wundervolle Tage in der Tranquilo Lodge und haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Dankeschön.
- Danielle (6/5): Had a great time but not worth it - Beautiful sunsets and Christina’s service Terrible overpriced tours and the owner
- Luc (9/5): Superb -
- Richard (9/5): Excellent place, with some fantastic food and great staff, but expensive. - The location was great, the food was first class, and the staff excellent. There were a lot of additional costs we did not expect compared to the price quoted from booking.com, pushing this above our price range.
- Joanne (10/5): Exceptional - The food was very good and healthy. Good variation. The owners, Sebastian and Christophe, were very helpful and friendly . We enjoyed our stay.
- Laura (10/5): An unforgettable, peaceful oasis. Truly the best Costa Rica has to offer. - Our recent stay at Tranquilo Lodge was beyond anything we could have imagined! From the moment we were greeted on the beach and delivered to this unique and stunning property, we knew we had made the right choice. The views from this oasis are unparalleled. The tree beside our villa was visited daily by toucans, and the trees near the pool became a gathering spot for the scarlet macaws, displaying their beautiful colors. What truly sets Tranquilo Lodge apart, however, is the warmth and generosity of the owners, Sebastien and Kristoff. From the very first moment, they made us feel like long-lost friends, and their deep love for the area is reflected in every detail of the lodge. They are some of the kindest, most genuine people you’ll meet, and their hospitality made our experience even more special. The rest of the staff is equally incredible — always attentive, welcoming, and eager to ensure every need is met. I’ve been home for just one day, and I can’t stop thinking about how relaxing and peaceful this place was. From the first breath of fresh air on my patio every morning to the last one at the end of each day, I felt an incredible sense of peace and tranquility. The food here is beyond extraordinary — better than any five-star restaurant I’ve experienced in the world’s most luxurious cities. Each meal was a masterpiece, bursting with fresh, local flavors and exquisite presentation. And the cocktails… each one was a work of art, served in a glass that perfectly complemented its vibrant colors. Whether relaxing by one of the pools or exploring the surrounding nature, every moment here was pure magic. If you are looking for a stay that is, without a doubt, the best Costa Rica has to offer, I cannot recommend it enough. A truly unique and heavenly experience is surely guaranteed. I can honestly say that there is nothing at all that could be done better.
- Welch (10/5): A Must Stay Oasis, Will Be Back! - Christophe & Sebastian & the entire staff (Christina!!!) were incredible! Helpful in every way possible. The hotel is remote, gorgeous, clean, intimate, & the food was 5 star. I'm vegan & they went above & beyond to make sure I had ample food options, & it was all delicious! Never had hot enough water in my shower, but it was warm enough to not be uncomfortable. Everything else was perfect!
- Aifric (10/5): A really wonderful hotel with exceptional staff. We had the best time on our stay and would definitely recommend! - Amazing views and lovely rooms. All the staff were incredible.
- Morgane (8/5): Very good -
- Jane (10/5): Gorgeous spot for total relaxation! - Stunning view of the bay, beautiful infinity pool and gorgeous room with plunge pool
- Abigail (10/5): Exceptional - Views, tours, hospitality, amazing food and scenery- there was nothing not to love. Christophe and Sebastian are fabulous and we loved every moment of our stay! Nothing
- Marc-henri (9/5): Magic place with caring owners & staff, a must see! - Superb location, caring staff, delicious and original food 3 times a day. Beautiful tours, we did the Corcovado and horse riding by the rios to a cascade, magic! The view from the lodge is grandiose. Before we got there, there was an issue with additional ‘resort fees’ that were not announced on Booking.com but they agreed to waive them fortunately. I hope it has by now been solved.
- Dirk (10/5): Perfect location with perfect food and made feeling special - Food was great; Location was great and Oro the Dog was the extra host bringing you carefully and safely to the beach. The French Hosts were geat!
- Michael (9/5): Great place to stay for 3-4 nights to explore Drake Bay area - Breakfast was good fresh bread, fruits and eggs different preparations with bacon and ham. Assorted cheese and meats. Yogurts and fresh coffee. Fresh squeezed morning juices. Distance to walk to beach. You need to be in good shape if you get rooms 1-3. The shower had no pressure but it washot if you needed it
- Jody1974 (10/5): Exceptional - My husband and I loved everything about Tranquilo Lodge. The palapas were large and beautifully furnished with outdoor showers, a large deck with seating area/hammock, plenty of space/storage and a fridge. The bed was comfortable and the A/C worked perfectly. The views of Drake Bay from the palapa, as well as the 2 pools and restaurant were spectacular. The grounds were beautiful with a peaceful and private layout. The owners/hosts Sebastian and Christophe were amazingly friendly, helpful, and just very fun and enjoyable to be around. They have taken their extensive knowledge and passion for service and cuisine and created a slice of heaven in Drake Bay...It is next level fabulous! They were always around and made sure we were spoiled and wanted for nothing. The other staff Christina and Michael were also lovely humans who made our stay very special. Lastly, the food! Christophe (former executive chef and successful catering business owner) and the resort chef have created an elevated and delicious menu using only the freshest local ingredients. The owners are from France so you will be treated to French cheeses, foie gras and wines as well. We were so sad to leave this place and hope to return someday!
