Nature eco lodge vacation rentals in Bahía Drake

If you want a true off the grid experience with amazing food and views, make your way out here. Everything that we could have hoped and wished for. We felt like family when we arrived and they were so kind and wonderful throughout. The tours they offer are amazing. Would absolutely stay again if given the chance.

Words will never do this place justice. Both the lodge itself and the surroundings are stunningly beautiful. The pictures give a slight impression, but the place must be experienced to really understand the beauty of this place. The cabins are placed up on a hill with an amazing view over the jungle and the ocean. Macaws are flying over you all day. Coatis, tapirs, agutis and monkeys cross the grounds and nature trails are plentiful. We did a trek into Corcovado through la Leona gateway which was well worth it. Way less crowded than la Sirena and the scenery is incredible. I also took some yoga classes while I was there. The yoga itself was great and the cherry on the top was 8 macaws settling into a tree right in front of the yoga platform during class. We were also really pampered with delicious food and smoothies. We got there by cab which took something like 1 h 45 m each way. On the way there the driver spotted loads of animals for us. I’m so grateful for the whole experience.

If you’re looking for a version of Costa Rican river living this is it. Affordable with an extremely attentive owner and staff. We especially enjoyed our kayaking and hiking trips. Thank you, Carlos!

Great place to stay in Drake Bay! Super peaceful - perfect if you want to relax and enjoy the nature around. The cabin is surrounded by trees, and we spotted toucans, iguanas, even some macaws right from the terrace, which was amazing. The host is really kind and takes great care of the guests. You’ve got everything you need here. There's even a washing machine and a spin dryer, which is super useful in this humid part of Costa Rica. If you're coming to Drake, this place is a great choice.

We loved everything so much. Thanks a lot!!!

We used Vistadrakelodge to stay in Drake Bay on our way to and from an overnight trip to Corcovado Preserve. We stayed a relaxed extra day after, swinging in the hammocks on the deck overlooking the sea. It had lovely views of the sea, birds and monkeys in its gardens and trees. And much enjoyed air conditioning! Emilio was great, met us at the boat from Sierpe to take us up the short hill from the beach, even though it would have been an easy 5 minute walk. He offered to take us to his farm to walk in nature but we were too tired to take the offer. Breakfast was hearty and delicious. He can also help arrange local boat tours and arranged our return trip back to Sierpe. Easy walk to several restaurants in town and the beach.

We had the most enjoyable time. The stay was relaxing, with the air conditioning, after a day in f hiking or snorkeling. I recommend no less than three nights to see everything. Remember the suggestion to bring cash since there are no ATM machines. Using credit card causes a 13% fee at Blakes Bay (which is common due to remoteness).

The cabin is in a small and laidback resort. There is a yoga shala, and the staff can help with booking tours and more. The location is very remote (twenty minute walk on the beach), so it's adviced to pack light. It's also a beautiful place, with a big private beach but also in the jungle. We observed all kinds of animals, including macaws and monkeys. There are no nearby restaurants, but there are meals in the resort at extra cost. All in all a great place, and we would have loved to stay longer if we could.

We only stayed a night but Lily was great. She welcomed us really warmly, the place is a litte off but really sweet and idyllic. We wish we could have stayed longer. She was also really flexible about the Check in and out.

This place was beyond my wildest dreams. After having traveled all around the world, I have never stayed at a place so unfathomably beautiful, so seamlessly connected to the natural world around, and so ready to welcome anyone and everyone into the loving, easy care of Costa Rica's pura vida. Literally next door to Corcovado National Park, easily within reach of Caño Island, and far enough from Drake Bay to feel like you're off the beaten tourist path. Even *getting* to Ocean Forest is an adventure worth having, whether by boat through old mangrove forests and along rugged coastline, or by 4x4 across two rivers and dense jungle. And upon arriving, the remoteness creates a sense of oneness with other travelers and the staff alike. Everyone feels like they are in on a really, really good secret. Where we stayed was elegant, simple, and in touch with the nature around: fresh sheets, delicious and accommodating meals, and beautiful places to reflect, swim, surf, wander, or practice yoga.

The stay was AMAZING. Location was AMAZING, and the people were AMAZING!! 100% RECOMMEND. And you don't have to worry about any river crossings from Puerto Jimenez

Can’t Really describe how beautiful Finca Exotica is …. You will just have to find out for yourself! All I will say is you definitely won’t regret booking this unique accommodation. We met a number of other guests whilst enjoying a very social and enjoyable meals. Don’t think twice …. Just book it!
