They treat you like home! These are great people! Wonderful safe and delicious food!

The property is beautiful, surrounded by nature and full of peace

Casa Drake is one of the nicest places I've stayed. The family that owns this place is very niceand welcoming.  I enjoyed sitting around and talking to them. They offered us home made authentic Tico breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Each and every meal I had there was awesome. The grounds are very beautiful with various fruit trees and flowers. The cabin we stayed in was great. It had a huge shower, a porch with hamocks, and beautiful and comfortable beds with mesquito netting. They took us on a private tour to the beach on horseback. It was an adventure of a lifetime. I also want to add the security was great as they had an attack rooster who guarded the Grounds well I felt very safe LOL

Best hotel in Costa Rica bar none

Have been to many hotels over the years but I cannot recall ever having felt as welcome as we felt this week with owner Zacarías and his family.  We are from CR and would love for more ticos to come and meet this hard-working, truly nice and helpful example of a family working to improve their lives and their community. Any shortcomings, it is a lodge after all, are more than compensated by their warmth and by the excellent local food. Not your typical gallo pinto stuff, but a well prepared and presented variety of local ingredients cooked home style to perfection.  If you love birds, the sunsets are something to behold.

Real Costa Rica

If you are looking for a regular hotel experience then this is not for you, however if you want a true home away from home experience with the local Tico family then you cannot go wrong with this option. Edward the reservations lead is always present and the kitchen is run by his mom and sister. The dad is the wealth of knowledge about local area and the uncle is the gardener. The abundant fruit trees was a pleasant surprise and so was the close proximity of the Macaws.

A great Family stay in OSA

Great service, wonderful staff. Eduardo and his family will bend over backwards to please guests. I can't imagine coming to Drake Bay and staying anywhere else.

Awesome

a family business very attentive to our needslovely people

wonerful hospitality

We stayed here for two nights in one of the upstairs double rooms in the main house.
The house is rural and was a 20-30min drive away from Drake Bay. The house is quite basic in terms of comfort but the family who run the place were friendly and accommodating from arriving to leaving. 
Our room was reasonably comfortable with the facilities available. The room and house is open to the air and bugs outside but there was a mosquito net (however is was quite worn and had holes in it) there was also a plug in fan in the room. I did get quite a few bites while staying here.
Breakfast was delicious every morning and we also ate dinner there on both nights. The food was homely and matched to whatever the family seemed to be eating so actually swayed away from gallo pinto etc which was a nice change.
All staff were at all times exceptionally friendly despite language barriers, they were always smiling and on hand to help out. There were also a number of nice pets on site, several kittens and Osso the Labrador!
The surrounding rural countryside was beautiful and there was lots of exceptional plants and wildlife in the garden of the house and the surrounding area. The local area was nice for walking but there isn’t much around.

If you need alcohol or snacks throughout your stay bring them with you before hand.



Rural, basic but home sweet home.

The hosts are lovely people who are so kind and welcoming to their house, alongside their dog and cat! The bungalow was basic but comfortable and the food was very nice. Do be aware that this is about a 15 minute drive from Drake Bay beach. One night we got taken to sunset beach which was a real highlight of the trip. Thanks again and great to meet you all. 

Lovely kind hosts in secluded spot near Drake Bay

I highly recommended this region and this property.

This was my first visit to Costa Rica’s southwest territory where I’ve heard descriptions of natural beauty unlike anything in the rest of the country. 

I chose Casa Drake Lodge after doing some preliminary research for rates and properties in the area. The drive there from San Jose is approximately 3/4 of the way, beautiful paved road. The last 1/4 however can be a little treacherous for some. It was  mostly a dirt road section that requires crossing rivers through some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve seen in Costa Rica. The reward is definitely worth it. 

The lodge property is a short drive from the town of Drake Bay where much of the outdoor activities are operated. 
The lodge itself was a pleasant surprise. Large spacious and most importantly clean. (However, if you’re looking for posh five-star accommodations, this is not your place)
The property is managed by a family and I don’t use the term loosely, they are an actual local extended family who run and operate all aspects of the business. I thoroughly enjoyed their hospitality and attention to guest services. I lacked nothing I needed or that was required for a comfortable stay. But I know I don’t speak for everyone and everyone’s needs are different. Although I would have enjoy an air conditioned room, the fan provided was more than sufficient for my needs. 
The property is broken down into a main house and two bungalows. The main house is two levels where the lower level is the common area that includes a kitchen, dining area and bathrooms. The second level is the sleeping quarters. An all wooden structure adds a touch of rustic charm and warmth to the home. 
The gardens are ample and well landscaped and the bungalows far enough apart for privacy if that’s important to you. 
I can’t say enough good things about the quality of service we received during our stay. I consider Zacarías, Edward, Gregorio and Karen to be outstanding host and my friends. Thank you all for your kindness. 
A special thank you to my good buddy Kendall who represents the next generation of hosts. 
I look forward to a return visit in the future.
