The best available Lodges to stay near Drake Bay

May 14, 2023 Kiesha Cripe

Legend has it that notorious pirate Sir Francis Drake hid his treasures somewhere in Drake Bay, hence the name. Doubloons or not, there are plenty of natural treasures to marvel over, like lush rainforests and colorful sea life. Invest in a guided hiking, diving, fishing, tubing or treetop canopy tour to get the full Drake Bay experience. “Tracie the Bug Lady” even offers a night tour to acquaint you with all of the local creepy crawlies.

Hidden Paradise Lodge

Dreamy place and lovely people.

Reviewed By brennie014

Hidden, and quite adventurous to reach this small paradise. But once in, it’s a treat. The family that runs the place is so friendly. The lodges are spacious and very clean. The dinner is well cooked and highly recomended. A juicy piece of chicken or fish is hard to find. But here it’s spot on and tasty.

Mirians Place Drake

Good, clean, inexpensive place in the center of Drake Bay

Reviewed By brigitte27_12

This was one of the cheapest places I stayed during my 5 w Costa Rica Travel. And compared to other more expensiv places this was very good value for that little money. Some rooms are really spacious and come with small kitchens. It is clean and even have WiFi. Not sure if this is in all of the rooms. A good restaurant is just steps away where you also get good breakfasts on advance reservation. Opposite Mirian's is a small Supermarket. They arrange Tours and Taxis.

Great stay in Drake Bay

Reviewed By Slidy

Lovely casa with everything you need. Jamaica was brilliant when we arrived (very) early and got our room ready for us, gave us tips on dining and tours, and left us to it. Use of kitchen meant cold beers in the fridge for a relaxing evening out front, and complimentary coffee in the morning set us up for our snorkeling trip. Would head straight here if we ever came back to DB.

Super excellent

Reviewed By Linda M

My husband and I spent 35 days here. Alex and his family could not have been more helpful and made us feel like part of the family as well. Definitely recommend for a quiet, safe, relaxing stay. Big shout out to Norma, Alex's mom, for all her help with laundry and breakfast. She even taught me to make authentic beans and rice. Also, thanks to brother Randall for the Spanish lessons.

LookOut DrakeBay

Nice foliage and ocean views!!

Reviewed By NatureExplorerGal

Beautiful foliage, gorgeous ocean view from private balcony. Nice to have breakfast available at lodge with ocean views from outdoor dining area. No other meals available but there is a shared kitchen. I was able to get a cheaper rate than listed on websites by contacting host directly and paying by cash. The place is up a steep hill, but it was worth the climb to have such peaceful surroundings with the sound of the ocean and no town noise. Unfortunately wifi did not work well in my room altho it was fine in communal area. The bed and pillows were firm, but I travel with my own pillow. This place is now my top choice in town after 7 trips here staying in 6 different places.

4 in the jungle - perfect location and personel service

Reviewed By Leo1962S

We spent 4 days at Las Caletas Lodge in March 2022. This is definitely not a luxury lodge - but we felt perfectly looked after all round and would recommend the lodge at any time. The location is perfect: just above the beach with a great view of the sea. The jungle path in the direction of Corcovado and Drake Bay offers impressive scenic impressions and a variety of animal sightings. The highlight is the red macaws! The quality of the food is exceptional. Every evening there is a lovingly prepared 3-course menu. The bread for breakfast is home-baked and tastes very good. Water can be tapped at any time. The bungalows are rather simple, but adequately furnished and above all very clean. The manager Daniel was the good soul of the lodge. Always in a good mood and helpful - wonderful! Thank you very much for a great time at Las Caletas Lodge.

My yearly get away

Reviewed By DarrinC_MN

Ive been making the trek down to Ocean Forest Ecolodge almost every year since my first trip in 2018. I first visited in Ocean Forest April 2019, stayed for 7 days and fell in love with the resort. My next stay was in June 2021, that time I stayed for 14 days, and my last trip was in January 2022 for another 7 day adventure. Every time I visit there I find new things to fall in love with. The scenery, the animals, the sounds. Great nutritious and healthy food, wonderful people and unforgettable memories. I cant wait to get down there again to relax, heal, laugh, make lifelong friends, and truly get away from it all.
