"Our stay at Drake Bay Resort was a truly memorable experience, filled with delightful culinary adventures and breathtaking scenery. The dining options offered were diverse and exquisite—the dinner was particularly memorable, showcasing local flavors that left a lasting impression. Breakfast each morning was equally satisfying, with fresh ingredients that perfectly complemented the beautiful surroundings. We were thrilled with the variety of excursions available, especially the whale-watching tour and horseback riding through the stunning landscapes. These activities allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the natural beauty of Costa Rica. The property manager was especially accommodating, providing us with everything we needed throughout our stay, including a thoughtful surprise—a delicious birthday cake to help us celebrate my birthday weekend. I must mention that the accommodations are quite unique; our room had no television, which I found refreshing as it encouraged us to disconnect and enjoy our surroundings. However, it's important to bring your hiking boots, as reaching our room involved some hiking, which added to the sense of adventure. The views from our room were nothing short of spectacular, overlooking both the ocean and the lush rainforest. This serene and remote retreat was exactly what my wife and I needed—a peaceful escape from our busy lives. The customer service provided by the management team was outstanding, enhancing our overall experience. "

"When we arrived Mauricio greeted us, helped us check in, and also upgraded our room to the second level for free. The room is super big and clean. There’s a balcony and from it you can see/hear monkeys, macaws, parrots, iguanas, and so many more animals. We were also able to get reservations to Corcovado National Park through the person at the reception desk. At the end of the trip we were also able to get reception to call us a taxi within 5 minutes of needing it. It was a lovely hotel with friendly staff too. "

"The staff and facility were both fantastic. They exceeded all of are needs and desires. From our greeting when we arrived to our farewell actually out front. Both Francisco and Michelle came out to bid us a farewell. Francisco even assisted us in the parking which was somewhat tight spaces. Also we really enjoyed the food.both dinner and breakfast were delicious and attractively prepared. It was just a wonderful experience for our group of four"

"This property is the perfect get away to beautiful Costa Rica. The location of the hotel and the views are amazing. The staff were tremendously helpful, courteous and a joy to be around. I would definately reccomended this hotel and we will be back again! If you stay with Hotel 360 please make sure and have Jefferson or William at the bar make you a 360 Martini!"

"My husband and I found this property that was right in the beach. You can hear the waves you are that close. We took walks on the beach and Kenneth helped set up the scuba and snorkel trip we too that picked us up on the beach !! We had a room with outdoor kitchen and balcony with hammock and a view of the ocean. We would return to the same room if we visit Drake Nay again !!"

"Staff was great, lunch was delicious by the pool. "

"Loved this hotel. Excellent food and service. The view were fabulous, we saw toucans, macaws and humming birds from our terrace. We chose to travel from Sierpe and the boat ride to the hotel was very exciting! Would definitely stay again and hope to come back soon!"

"Our stay at Tranquilo Lodge was an absolute dream. Sebastien and Christophe are the most amazing hosts. Sebastien helped us plan out the best 4-5 day itenerary and was always around to help with anything we needed during our stay. The grounds are beautiful and maintained well and the view from the pool is absolutely stunning. The serving staff Cristina and Alex were so friendly and attentive. The Chef cooked up amazing lunches and lovely 3-4 course dinners. My wife and I look forward to coming back to Drake Bay to visit everyone at Tranquilo Lodge again in the future !"

"My stay at this jungle resort in Costa Rica was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the lush surroundings, the peaceful atmosphere, and the incredible hospitality. The resort is beautifully tucked into nature, allowing you to truly disconnect and soak in the beauty of the jungle. A special shoutout to Dan, the owner, who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and memorable. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and always ready with great local tips and stories. Whether it was arranging transportation, recommending hidden gems nearby, or just checking in to make sure I had everything I needed, Dan’s warmth and dedication made a real difference. If you’re looking for a place to relax, explore, and connect with nature—this is it. I can’t wait to come back!"
