Family hotels and homes in Drake

Incredible location a stones throw away from a private beach and surrounded by nature. We saw macaws, a sloth, monkeys and hummingbirds, lizards, frogs and more. Very secluded and intimate lodging with great service and amazing meals.

We have never said 'wow' 'amazing' 'incredible' so many times, in fact, we ran out of superlatives as we relaxed into this jungle paradise. The family were wonderful, kind, and generous of heart. All very skilled at their work (They didn't make it look like 'work' for them, more like 'life that they love' - Pura Vida). Everything was stunning - from the welcome on the beach when Guillermo met us from the boat from Sierpe, the details in the room, the 3 meals a day of home cooked delicious food - all exceptional! And what a location! 2 minutes from one of the best beaches ever - The best in the area (in our opinion) and almost always deserted - incredible to have this beautiful beach and sea to yourself). In the middle of the jungle with amazing nature coming into the garden - in just one hour we saw toucans, monkeys (one with a baby), couatis, iguana, hummingbirds galore, scarlet macaws, red-rumped tanagers, vultures, parrots, hawks, eagles, (lots of other birds) lizards, butterflies (inc the blue morpho)... all from our balcony! Bring your binoculars, it's worth getting an even closer look at it all. Despite the wildlife being so amazing, the family were an even better part of our stay. Isaac and Guillermo and their beautiful families were incredible, special people, we now have an extended family in Costa Rica! They organized all our incredible tours; Corcovado park, Snorkelling Cano, horseback riding to a remote waterfall where we swam - all for the same price as in Drake Bay or online, if not cheaper. For each one the family arranged for us to be picked up by boat (or horse) from the beach. Note - It is up a hill (to get the views), so expect a bit of an incline to get to the lodges from the beach. It is in the middle of the jungle, so internet is not 5G, but it worked fine for us. We loved Sunset Toucano lodge - as you can tell by us booking for 3 nights & staying for 8!

This place is amazing. Felt like home. The people, the birds, dinner & breakfast, the rooms, everything is amazing. They helped us with our tours, brought us to our tours with the taxi. Can’t recommend it enough.

close to the centre and a great space

The people Who own it are wonderful, the place has beautiful views and is quiet and the breakfast is just a MUST you have to do before going touring. The were extremely nice in providing breakfast even at 5:30am! Definitely recommend it and would love to go back again!

We took some break from Van Life and this was perfect since you can either camp or have an AC Room. We had the AC Room. WIFI like everywhere, is via Starlink and it works well. We enjoyed the stay 🙂

Great hotel!! Rooms are really nice and clean, loved the views. Great service, I recommend it

The most fantastic location away from tourist and direct at the beach with wildlife just outside. The hosts were the so sweet and helpfull and the food was great.

First of all the location of this Place is what makes it stand out, its elevated over looking Bahi Drake and the sunset views in the evening are breathtaking. Everything about the hotel is fantastic, Victor was the main man for all things during our stay, from checking us in to making oustanding cocktails by the pool. Our room was named Trogon and overlooked the bay, the suspended wooden cabin has all you need and situated on the balcony a hammock perfect for relaxing in. Both breakfast and dinner were excellent, fine dining for dinner and the breakfast overlooking the bay, exceptional to see first thing in the morning also the coffee is made right in front of you as you look out over the ocean! The pool Area is fanstatic and you can look out over the ocean as you are in the pool, you can also access the beach from tha private entrance just a short walk down and over a hanging bridge. (you can see this from the pool) there is also a tower onsite you can get to which gives an amazing view from upon high (as long as heights dont bother you) Theres also plenty of wildlife around if you like that sort of thing, ( iguanas by the pool, even some Coattis roaming around ) every evening there were Macaws and Green parrots passing over and even some Toucans in the trees right next to our room! All in all an exceptional place to stay in the Drake area.
