Guest reviews about Drake Lapas

Nelson is a fantastic host! He arranged everything for us to make our stay perfect from the dives to fixing our car tyre! The accommodation is very clean and spacious. I would come back with pleasure!

The rooms were spacious, each with its own balcony - a hammock in only one of them. The kitchen area was excellent. The availability of the host is really great and accommodating. The places were also super clean.

Very comfortable furniture, excellent protection against mosquitoes, everything is available.

Very comfortable and pleasant. A bit far from the beach but when we arrived they put a taxi to take us there with our bags. The best of all the staff, Nelson is wonderful and helped us in any way he could and even more. I would return without a doubt

In my opinion, a very nice, well-maintained room with a large kitchen and two balconies (one in the shade with the ability to hang clothes and with a hammock and one in the sun). Very friendly hosts who also take care of the Corcovado tour or other tours. There was also coffee and some condiments. The master bedroom had a hook to attach your own mosquito net. The internet works very well here. If you want to park at the hotel, be sure to 4x4, otherwise you will not be able to go down the mountain or back. The road to Drake Lapace is easily passable by car and there are several new bridges. You need to use Waze to drive on the correct path (new path with bridges). Google Maps currently (March 2022) takes you across the river.

The accommodation is comfortable, original and tastefully furnished. We greatly appreciated the warm welcome of Nelson and his family. This independent home is surrounded by exotic plants, we saw iguanas, hummingbirds, colorful birds. This place is close to the beach and shops, 10 minutes walk and protected by the jungle. This is good. The accommodation is very well equipped, the bedding is very good. Thank you Mr Nelson! See you soon, I hope. Jael

Very good location on the outskirts, with a lot of creativity and love for the errrichter bungalow

Nelson and his family went above and beyond to always find solutions, organize our tours and recommend activities. There was no more room in Corcovado Park, and he found it anyway. Likewise, the tapir trail laid out by the locals was exceptional and based directly on his recommendation. Thank you very much for these few days.

This is a very quiet and comfortable bungalow, you have everything you need for your stay. It is in the center of town, very convenient to walk to the beach (from where boats leave for Corcovado).

Great place to relax. Very relaxing. Very clean, Nelson friendly welcome.

Drake Lapas is the perfect place to stay in Bahia Drake. Bungalow in the middle of nature allows you to see from the kitchen full of animals (capuchins, macaws, iguanas, agoutis....). The quiet environment is ideal and the city center is only a 5 minute walk away. Nelson, the owner is nice and helpful!

The location and the bungalow itself. Spacious and clean, next to the jungle where you can see many kinds of animals. We felt very comfortable there. Thanks Nelson and his family for taking care of us and showing us the little green frogs and thanks to Pedro for his knowledge of the place and for making this wonderful place possible. Hugs.

- spacious and well-maintained housing - quiet place and in the middle of nature - attention of the owners

Nelson and Anya were very kind and always ready to help

Green setting

mountain

It was clean, spacious and fully equipped. Don't expect luxury, but everything you need is there. Nelson is so friendly and welcoming, nothing more. Let us know when you arrive and he will pick you up from the boat. The best part: you sit on your balcony in the middle of the jungle, and restaurants and shops are a few hundred meters away.

Large, fully equipped "booth" (maisonette), therefore convenient for cooking on site, very clean. Located at the top of the village, 10 minutes walk from the beach, away from the noise, overlooking the forest. Undoubtedly a place to stay for a few days. Nelson and his family are lovely and have a great sense of service. Good luck to them in the future 😉.

Nelson and Anya are adorable, the house is a little off to the side, in the middle of the jungle, basic equipment, but it was enough.

The reception is wonderful. Nelson will take care of everything and also offers excursions. Maisonette with 2 bedrooms. The bathroom is combined with a heated shower at the pear level. Fully equipped kitchen, tired refrigerator, but with the temperature it does, it would be less. A hammock on the balcony overlooking a pretty beautiful garden, away from the hustle and bustle of the main street. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the beach and walk through several restaurants.

Functional self catering accommodation Very kind hosts Very clean Perfect for our Drake holiday

Nelson and his family are adorable, they will help you with everything, for example, they can get to the place with the transport that you use, they will take care of the tour of the corcovado and will be happy to set up the house!

Nice house, very well equipped, in the middle of nature. We hear animals at night and beautiful birds singing in the morning. Nelson, the owner, is lovely, he arranged everything for us during our stay, arrival and departure by boat, visiting the national park and snorkeling on Caño Island. The house was very clean and cleaned every day. We were 7 minutes walk from the beach and the start of the excursion.

Very nice and new houses! Much more than we expected (including kitchen and balcony with hammock) and everything was thought out! The owners were also very friendly, picked us up at the port and were allowed to leave our belongings at the house during our tour of Corcovado. Highly Recommended!

Great apartment, clean and well appointed. Super friendly hosts. I will repeat myself without a doubt.

Very large and well equipped. Beautiful balconies overlooking the jungle. Nelson and Anya were also very nice :)

Very friendly host. Quite secluded private cottage

You will immediately feel at home! Everything is very cozy, spotlessly clean, new! In fact, it is cleaned every day! There is plenty of room and the covered balcony with hammock and jungle views is amazing! I found this place to be very nice! You have about 10 minutes walk to the beach! Nelson is really very helpful and friendly and gave us a great fishing / whale watching excursion !! Highly recommended !!!

The village is very quiet, the distances are short, everything is easy to find, the people are charming and very helpful, our host did everything to make our stay easier, the house is perfect and very clean, quiet and immersed in nature, we quickly want to stay there ....

Everything! The owner, Nelson, is always very friendly and attentive. The house is beautiful and you can see how lovingly they visit it. It was nice!

About everything, in particular about the reception and assistance of the owners in organizing our excursion to the Corcovado National Park, who themselves took care of finding a guide for us.

Nelson is an exceptional host, he came to pick us up when we arrived by boat and bought us a guide and tickets to Corcovado Park! The house was very clean and very comfortable! To relax and have fun!

He was treated, helped and advised as much as possible. They have accompanied you at the beginning of all the activities that we carry out in the area, always with a very attentive attitude.

Location with jungle views and helpful owners.

The place is beautiful. Nice view of the jungle garden and near the village with good restaurants.

The kitchen equipment was perfect. You could even cook it. Our ambition was limited to making breakfast.

Our host who comes to greet us at the beach to take us to the hotel. These are huts in the middle of nature, where you can see more birds and animals than in Corcovado. Everything is thought out for the convenience of the traveler, everything is thought out in the kitchen, coffee and coffee maker, sugar, clean water. A wonderful place and wonderful hosts who are always ready to help and show you the wonders of the country.

Super equipped apartment with full kitchen equipment. Very hardworking host with good advice on the best beaches in the area and local excursions. To park in front of the house, it must be a four-wheel drive car ....

The welcome, the place is really great and the owners did their best to make our stay very enjoyable.

This is an ideal place, ideally located close to the center and at the same time away from dust and noise. The garden is gorgeous and well maintained. The accommodation is perfect, clean, functional and very well equipped. 2 terraces with a hammock, everything is there so that you don't miss anything !!! Coffee, drinking water, soap, salt ... A small corner of paradise The owners are adorable, careful, but always ready to help and assist !!! There is really nothing to complain about this accommodation other than a big THANK YOU !!!!

The reception was very good. The apartment is upstairs, with mosquito nets, two balconies overlooking a beautiful garden, very clean and very nicely decorated. The hosts gave us good advice on how to do what we wanted. The apartment is located just 5 minutes walk from the beach.

Very good location in the center of Drake Bay, ten minutes from Agujitas Beach; but at the same time it conveys a feeling of complete isolation, being in the middle of the jungle (you can listen to enchanting night sounds, like in a bivouac). The house is very clean, comfortable and cozy. All pits have mosquito nets; mosquitoes do not enter if you open the doors carefully. Two rooms have a terrace, one of them with a hammock. The kitchen is fully equipped and allows you to be self-sufficient on rainy nights. Nelson helped a lot by explaining the way to Drake. Annia, his wife, comes from one of the first families to populate this place in the 70s and knows the environment impeccably. It's fair that they, too, have the opportunity to welcome tourists who are heading to this still remote place, in this exceptional location. Good luck !!

The apartment is large and immaculate. We felt very comfortable and calm. The owners will help you with everything, and although the accommodation is a little far from the beach (10-15m walk), they will pick you up on arrival and departure. We stayed 2 days but it should have stayed longer. Highly recommended.

The attention of Nelson and his family was perfect, we will definitely be back!
