The family at Casa Drake are so warm and welcoming and they did everything they could to ensure I had everything I needed and a comfortable stay. I loved that it’s located a little inland, it’s far more peaceful and right next to the forest :) I would love to come back.

“Great FB spot for Los Planes!”

The location is simply breathtaking surrounded by gardens and Los Planes! The lodge is simple but complete of everything. The guests are simply super! Pick up, assistance and food all at top level

“Nice cabin run by lovely, helpful family.”

Nice gardens and cabin on edge of jungle. Fantastic host. Zaharia’s even made us breakfast at 5am so we could go on an early morning tour.

“A lovely family property with a beautiful waterfall hike nearby and simple home.cooked food. Great f”

The people were full of love and generosity.

“Great 5 nights in drake bay”

I was here for 5 nights oct 7-12 2022, the rainy season. -Arraigned airport pickup before i arrived. I arrived at airport and they were pulling up as i walked out the door. A very nice man that is the hotel driver, doesnt speak much english, drove me from airport to hotel, about 30-45 min drive depending on road conditions. We had to drive through a river that was not too deep, near airport. -The hotel was very nice, i was greeted by one of their sons that spoke english, as well as the mother and father who run the business. I paid with visa debit for the stay and cash for the driver. -Was shown to my cabin/bungalow. It was great, 3/4 sides is screen walls with curtains, a nice big bathroom, looks like brand new wood, 2 nice beds, even live flowers. The cabin has a balcony, with chairs and light, its nice for reading at night, view of surrounding forest/lawn. There is very nice flower bush right outside that humming birds love, you can hear/see a humming bird at least 1 every 10 min. The cabin is a short walk away from the main building, down a garden trail. Nice air flow because of the screens, and there is a ceiling fan too. Many outlets to charge things. -The food was GREAT. I am a very picky eater, i eat with my eyes (like a bird as my mother said), and i am mostly vegetarian except for some deep fried fish and chicken because it is good, they asked me what i perfered, and altho there was a language barrior as the mother and father dont speak english, they understood my meals and made a effort to give me food i would like. Fresh juice daily. -Drake bay is about 1 hour walk, with a bridge and one steep hill (the river crossing is only on the way to airport). Its a scenic walk, i did it a few times. Most times it was raining, but still nice. Or the hotel offers drives for a cost. They did tell me that i would get one free transport to and from town per day.
