Company information
I love to welcome people to this place because Drake Bay is a little paradise, like a hidden world apart...
Plants, fruits, animals... beach... just wow.
And me.. well I love to meet new people, learn from other cultures.
I am originally from Switzerland and I help Fernando, the owner to run the little hidden hotel in the mountains.
Both of us love to help others and we just wanna see you enjoy your time at the corcovado national park, watching animals or at the beach.
Property information
The lodge is kind of hidden among trees and plants, when you arrive, you will be amazed, I am sure.
It is a place to rest, relax and be in peace.
The beach is 350 meters away and there is a restaurant 150 meters away with ocean view.
You can eat breakfast, then you can go for a walk in the mountains, go to the beach or take a tour.
In the afternoon you can enjoy coffee, some fruits and you can watch the animals in the garden like the toucan or the hummingbird. The most spectacular moment will be the sunset before you can prepare your dinner in the shared kitchen.
Neighbourhood information
It is a very quiet place, you can relax and have a break.
We can organize a tour to the corcovado national park (It is considered one of the most biodiverse regions in the world and its fauna includes macaws, tapirs, jaguars and squirrel monkeys.)
Or you can go whale and dolphin watching.
Note: There are two times of the year that are the best times to see whales in Costa Rica, one from late December to early April and the other from late July to early November approximately. These times coincide with the annual migration cycle of humpback whales.)
We can also offer you other tours and activities.
