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!
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!
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.

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.
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!!
This lodge is just OK. Drake Bay is not the sort of place to see luxury accommodation so expectations are lower, but I cant help feeling like there would have been better options for the money. The room was a little disappointing on first impressions and although we only stayed for a couple of nights considered looking at other accommodation whilst there. Service was ok. Two of the lads are great and are really helpful where as others don't speak. I wish I could say better things, but wont be rushing back here and would look elsewhere if we return to Drake.
