Vista drake lodge is amazing. We stayed for 4 nights. We even got an upgrade to one of the lodges! The views from there are amazing overlooking drake bay and you just want to chill on the porch in your personal hammock forever. The lodgings are in the center of town and everything can be reached by foot. Emmanuel also hosts a lot of tours, gives great advice and we got a special breakfast on the day we left which was super nice! We did some diving on cano island (highly recommended) and went to rio ajuitas with a kayak. The waves on the ocean are tricky (you'll get wet). But uf you do this an hour before sunset you have good chances to see monkeys jumping from one side of the river to the other and get a real jungle experience.

Staff was super helpful and friendly. Drinkable water was provided at no cost. We received an upgrade because a nicer cabin was available. Would stay there again.

Just back from a lovely stay at Vista Drake Lodge, Drake Bay. We stayed for 4 nights in a fabulous bungalow with a veranda overlooking the bay. This is a very special place and worth the effort to get to. Drake is a remote little town of back roads and is dusty and dirty with no jetty to jump onto when you get off the boat from Sierpe. However, you are essentially in the jungle surrounded by wildlife so embrace that style of adventure and enjoy it. Emilio is a great host and super helpful in organising tours for you. We highly recommend the Corcovado guided tour and Canò Island snorkelling whilst there, for food go to Claudios grill. There's no aircon but there is a hardly fan. Once you've done your tours jump in those hammocks on the balcony and chill. Only downside are the noise of the motorbikes up and down the street. Do yourself a favour and book into this rugged paradise. Ps take a torch!

Prachtige locatie, mooi uitzicht over de baai. Eigenaar is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Geen etensfaciliteiten, behalve ontbijt en dat is goed. Het is schoon en goed onderhouden. Je ziet hier rustiger dan in de straat beneden, vanwege de regelmatig langskomende motoren en auto's

Great place to stay. Very clean and awesome staff. Walls a little thin but not problem. Was upgraded to a nicer room before I arrived. Emilio was the best and super helpful with tour help to Corcovado.

Not only was the view incredible and the beach only a couple of steps away, but Emilio and Alberto could not have been more friendly or helpful! Amazing tours and amazing company! Five stars!!

Wunderschoen.. die anreise mit dem schiff war ein erlebnis. Emilio hat uns in empfang genommen und in die unterkunft gebracht. Auf dem weg dahin sind und die ersten papageien begegnet. Ein einmaliges naturparadies und eine reise wert. Emilio hat sich um alles gekuemmert, z.b. die waesche getrocknet.. und uns sogar im regen zum boot begleitet. Rundum schoen..

We had a very pleasant stay at Vista Drake. A woodsy little lodge, it was our favorite lodge out of all the places we stayed. The staff and owner very knowledgable about the area and tours etc. Our room was cozy and clean with comfortable beds. The only negative thing is that you could hear through walls, floors etc very clearly so it could be quite noisy at times but everything was always quiet during night and we slept well. There are some small restaurants, grocery stores and of course the beautiful Drake Bay within short walking distance.

With a family of 4 from the Neatherlands we planned to stay for 3 days but ended up staying a week at Vista Drake. Nice rooms, nice food, great trips .It was special to go and visit Alfredo, living in the middle of the jungle. We had a waterfall massage there and learned a lot about plants. We hope to someday go back to Vista Drake.

Great place in a beautiful and desolate space. Emanuel helped us with everything and made a great brakefast. Drake Bay and the park is totally natural.

Familiäre Atmosphäre mit perfekter Aussicht über die Drake Bay. Emilio, lulu und die ganze Familie waren tolle Gastgeber die sich super um Ihre Gäste kümmern und sehr hilfsbereit sind. So konnten hier auch (kurzfristig) Touren gebucht werden. Zimmer sind sauber und schön mit perfekten Ausblick. JEDERZEIT GERNE WIEDER!!!

Überaus engagiertes hilfsberites und kontaktfreudiges Betreiber. Bei allen Touren Ab- und Anreisen ist es emfehlenswert auf die Betreiber zuzugehen. Emfehlenswert ist es hier auch eine Hütte zu mieten, so hat man den Blick über die gesamte bucht und kann auf die Baumkronen schauen wo sich eine vielzahl Paradiesischer Vögel tummeln. Wir waren 5 Tage dort, und rückblickend hätte ich am liebsten die ganze zeit dort verbracht (ehrlich). Thanks to Eric, Emilio & Co!!!

It’s funky but great to have both AC and a mosquito net. Basic washroom with a cold shower. Sometimes a bit noisy in the morning when all the atv’s and motorcycles start but that’s because the locals are up even earlier getting ready for the day’s tourist expeditions. Close to restaurants and the beach. Would definitely stay again

Emilio was fantastic in helping us book all of our tours and to enjoy our stay in Bahia Drake! He even gave us his personal contact number and we were able to write him at any time with any doubts or questions. Just to let travelers know, Bahia Drake in general is a lot of hills with almost no accommodations directly on the beach, so please take that into account when deciding to go to the area and be aware that you may need to walk up/down hill. :) We really loved our stay in Bahia Drake with Vista Drake, thank you!

Dueño muy amable en negocio familiar. Muy servicial y dispuesto a ayudar. Nos prestó botas de agua para ir a Corcovado en época lluviosa, un gran favor porque los zapatos hubieran quedado inutilizables. Dispone de cabañas con vistas impresionantes!

Vista perfecta de la bahia, acceso complicado, instalaciones sencillas, precio altísimo por ser Semana Santa, recomendado ir en otras fechas!

Drake Vista Lodge was very close to the beach where we were to catch an early boat. Owner friendly and helpful. They provided water and breakfast prior to our departure.
