We stayed here during 4 days in a nice room at a top of small hill with great view on the bay. Very recommended. It is possible to walk around in different directions to see the nature, not spoiled (yet) by people. One day and night we spent in Paraiso Verde, far inside of Osa Peninsula. It's a great opportunity... More

When we arrived to Drake Bay, with my sister we checked the offering of almost all the tourist agencies there. At the end we decided to book the next three days with Vista Drake and we can highly recommend them. We made a daily trip to Corcovado. The trip started at 5am, an hour earlier than all the other agencies...sounds... More

We had booked a room with a balcony, but unfortunately, following an invasion of termites we were given a room above the main reception area. It was clean, but rather lacking in privacy as the sound insulation was not good. However, our host, Emilio, was wonderful and had organised an early morning trip into Corcovado with an excellent guide, Elbert,... More

My husband booked a cabin at Vista Drake for 3 nights, we ended up there for 6 and wished we could have stayed longer. The place may still have some construction happening, as mentioned by other reviews, but I did not know it... there was no construction noise or equipment that I could see. Emilio did say that they were... More

Vista Drake is a family-operated bed & breakfast located in the village of Drake Bay. There are a variety of rooms ranging from a tent on a platform to a private cabina with a fantastic view of the bay. The owners are very friendly, and we felt very welcome. They also helped us get the most out of our Osa... More

The hotel is a construction site right now with only 2 rooms. Termites had eaten up the whole house and the owner needs to fix the house step by step. It is a very basic place and the rooms are not nice. there is no real get-togehter area. We would not recommend going there. Although we had the hotels already... More
