We stayed at natural drake bay hotel in august with family , two children two adults. We stayed in the familial room which was huge and really comfortable. The beds and bedding were fantastic and aircon worked really well ! The views from our room were out of this world! Huge windows , monkeys looking in at sunset which caused much laughter with the children. From start to finish our stay was exceptional. The service desereve 5 stars . The most beautiful touches, upon return every day from our excursions we were met with a beautiful juice with wild flowers to decorate and a gorgeous smelling cool towel . The whole place just takes your breath away, flowers , animals , views. Spotlessly clean and perfectly tended feeling like you are at one with nature! Pool was gorgeous,we were lucky enough to see whales swimming aroung in front and like magic a set of binoculars were handed to us to see . The beach is amazing , feel like we could have stayed longer to see and experince more . We had 5 nights . The staff booked and recommended some trips for us and the price was fair i dont feel the was a surcharge from self booking . We did a horseback tour and a tour to corcovado national park all our guides were fantastic and super knowledgeable. They also booked our ferry crossing back to Sierpe which cost the same as what we paid direct on the way. The restaurant was really cute , no menu but different food daily and really nice 3 courses. Breakfast the same, Victor at the bar provided the most friendly silver service for every meal ! The views were out of this world . Dinners while delicious and presented so well catered for your requirements but were maybe a little too fancy for my children's taste, we ate out once or twice and took a lift and pick up from reception, this was charged but was reasonable given the roads and distance. Breakfast cooked whatever you wanted and lunch was lovely too . Showers cold but its so warm and the shower gels and shampoos smell lush.

The Natural Drake Bay hotel is a really wonderful place to stay. The location is amazing, set on its own looking over the Pacific, about 10 minutes from Drake Bay. Here you feel like you are in your own piece of paradise separate from the rest of the world. The hotel environment is lush and beautiful and the view from the open-air restaurant looking towards the ocean is stunning. Wildlife is all around: coatis, iguanas and numerous birds, including noisy scarlet macaws and green parrots. The hotel has a small number of villas, there is a pool and you can access the beach and a viewing tower. The villas are comfortable and well equipped, with excellent air conditioning and shower, and although not large, have a spacious outside area. The staff at Natural Drake Bay are all exceptionally helpful and make you feel very welcome – many thanks to Maripaz, Victor and the hotel’s driver. The breakfasts and dinner are excellent; the chef cooks delicious, well presented, imaginatively original dishes and Victor makes great cocktails! Dinner includes 3 courses and a fruit drink and is well worth the $40 considering the quality of dishes, setting and service. The hotel provides shuttles to and from Drake Bay as required, including for early morning excursions, at a cost of $20 per trip (not per person as one review suggested). In summary, the Natural Drake Bay hotel is a unique, magical place to stay. The experience of eating a delicious breakfast in the company of a nearby land crab, coati and noisy parrots, while looking out at the beautiful jungle and Pacific ocean will stay long in the memory.

Firstly I cannot say how amazing all of the staff were … friendly, helpful and so hard working…thanks to all of them. Really stunning property with fabulous sea views surrounded by amazing landscaping and planting. We loved being surrounded by wildlife and being woken up to the beautiful sound of birds and monkeys. Excellent food and a breakfast bar with a one in a million view. I chose to have a massage on the deck of our property which was amazing .. I think the masseuse was called Anna .. definitely recommend. The property also arranged national park tours and guided night walks which were excellent. Add about $10 pp onto the price of these for the transfer from the property to the tour. We booked a driver in a 4WD take us from MA to the property by road rather than arriving by boat. The road was bumpy but fine if you know to expect that.

Beautiful hotel with fantastic food. Lovely staff we felt really pampered. Hotel has its own beach with suspension walkway. So much wildlife amazing views across bay from restaurant area. Organised a trip to national park accessed by speedboat a night tour and a snorkelling trip. Seemed expensive when booked but definitely worth it we would stay again one of nicest hotels in Costa Rica.
