Drake Bay Getaway Resort

The Drake Bay Getaway was an unexpected delight! Views from the room were exquisite, as each villa is perched on a hillside with an ocean view. The manager was extremely helpful and spent time explaining about the surrounding area and animal life. We felt as if we were staying with family! Meals were beautifully prepared, offering a sampling of the local food. The location was great too, allowing for quiet relaxation, yet still convenient for activities.

If you are driving: there is like an hour and a half drive on unpaved roads varying from relatively smooth to incredibly rough supposedly at other points in the year there are streams that require fording. 4x4 recommended. That being said, once you are there, the views are incredible, the rooms are beautiful, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the location is mind-blowing. The rooms are bungalows set on a very steep hill overlooking the bay. The showers (at least in the one we stayed in) had wall cut outs so at night there were various insect and reptilian visitors but whatever its more their home than mine and few made it into the living area. The restaurants nearby are fine, breakfast is included and dinner is available at the sort of clubhouse with reservation and for a fee. The location and staff and view made up for the steep climb to the room from the beach and long off road drive to the site. I would stay here again absolutely.

Staff was great, the lady in the kitchen was amazing especially for dinners. We had a great time, people were really friendly and so nice to us

The view from the room was unforgettable. HOWEVER, please be aware that you need to go UP a steep hill to get to your rooms from the beach and "lobby/restaurant." The communication with the hotel was not the best. I needed to clarify some things prior to the stay, however nobody got back to me. The only time I got a timely response was when the hotel reached out to me first via WhatsApp. I booked this partly because it stated that the transportation to Drake Bay airport was included, but when we got there they stated it is not included and we would have to pay and schedule in advance. The hotel room itself was great, very spacious with amazing view of the bay.
