After reading the reviews I was dissapointed in the Drake Bay Wilderness Resort. The accomidations were minimalistic…unconfortable bed, very small bathroom with little water preasure. If you are looking for romance this is not the place. There is NO privacy with very thin walls and open screens (which are nice for the outdoor feel but not so nice for noise... More

Food very good and we all loved the way we got to meet other travelers at mealtime and talk about our daily adventures. Be sure to order the "Tico" lunch to go when going... More

By chance with have found this great accommodation and were very happy with it. We came by car which was quite far but the road was in an ok condition except from the drives through the rivers, where it is necessary to have 4x4. Finally they picked us up by boat in the little city and had given a warm... More

Our time in Costa Rica would not have been the same without staying here. The staff treat you like family and make sure you have everything you need. The views are incredible, and we loved relaxing in one of the many hammocks and looking out at the ocean and the sky. The tours were a great value--we saw dolphins, macaws,... More

We loved the area, very nice and helpful staff. Everyone was very friendly and helped out when they could.The rooms are very small and basic.but have great views when you are sitting on patio. I would recommend a room with AC. Few tips: Breakfast is 6am-8am. Very early...sometimes we went at 7:45 and it was already put away so unclear... More

The resort was clean, well maintained, and well run by the family who owns it. The staff were friendly and helpful. Food was good. The most amazing thing about the resort is the stunning location and an amazing view of the ocean. Kayaking on the river or the ocean -- take your pick. I absolutely loved staying there! The tour...

We traveled during the quiet (rainy)... More
