Situated in Drake in the Puntarenas region, with Colorada and Cocalito Beach nearby, Cabaña Ara Macao Lodge features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

The nearest airport is Drake Bay Airport, 8 km from the lodge.

Excellent location, beautiful view and pretty private. Staff was very prompt when we asked them to look at the AC. They set up our taxi to the airport on departure day. Very friendly when around, but did not come around unless asked to. Loved the kitchen, deck, hammocks. 2 AC units, my friends like it colder than I, this way we were all happy.

Drake Bay Sunset Lodge it’s located in a family property, surrounded by nature, just 5 minutes walking up the hill overlooking the ocean. Free parking is available down the hill, in front of the beach.

Stunning location and views from the room. We had room 5 which had a private plunge pool that had stunning views over the beach and bay below. The wildlife was incredible with Macaws, toucans and other birds flying past daily. An idyllic location 10 minutes walk to the beach and restaurants.

Daniel and the rest of the staff were absolutely amazing. The hotel property was so cool...there is nothing like staying right in a rainforest right next to the Pacific Ocean. The food was great, the beach was great...we have only wonderful things to say about this place. We would 100% recommend staying here. If waking up to a fresh breakfast while parrots, hummingbirds, sloths, and monkeys hang out in the forest nearby sounds like fun, you will love this place. Getting there isn't the easiest but pulling up to a beach by boat to get dropped off at your accommodation is about as incredible as it gets for me.

Shirley absolutely makes this place! I've traveled quite a bit and I've stayed in a lot of hotel/lodges, but I've never met such accommodating hosts! Our luggage was temporarily lost when we initially arrived, it was a whole fiasco, but Shirley and Claudio took care of the whole thing and coordinated with the airport for us. Claudio is a fantastic chef and I would highly recommend making dinner reservations. I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Shirley and the rest of the people working here, they were all super kind and made our stay here very enjoyable. Our room was pretty basic but it was very clean and had a great view from the balcony. There's no A/C but each bed had a fan so it wasn't really an issue.

Pacheco Tours Rainforest Cabins has garden views, free WiFi and free private parking, set in Drake, 1.3 km from Las Caletas Beach.

The lodge provides guests with a terrace, mountain views, a seating area, a flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, and a private bathroom with bidet and free toiletries.

The accommodation is a well equipped studio in a very quiet and remote area outside of the little village Los Planes. We enjoyed having breakfast on the terrace with watching and listening to many different birds. There is a good panaderia (Cielo y tierra) in Los Planes. Only 5-10 minutes by car away is gorgeous Las Caletas beach. From there you can also make a beautiful hike to Drake Bay or/and San Josecito bay which we can highly recommend. We also walked to the rainforest platform of the owner's father which was a very particular experience.

    Breakfast was not included, there were 3 options and all very good. Staff were very friendly and helpful - from advising places to eat, to looking after our bags while we went into Corcovado. Lodges are lovely - sitting on the veranda (or swinging in the hammock) was extremely relaxing, looking out over the bay.

    Views of whales from our balcony. Fantastic trails around the property and an almost private beach where we were picked up directly for diving on Caño Island, very convenient. If you have a 4x4 you can drive directly to the lodge but arrange for the gate to be open in advance.

    Excellent location and food. You are surrounded by jungle and well taken care of by the hosts. Juan-Carlos built the lodge himself and used to be a chef at a local restaurant. He’ll cook meals for you for a very reasonable price.

    Guillermo and the rest of the family were so welcoming and helpful and organised everything we wanted to do. The lodges are simple and rustic but have everything needed. Food was home cooked and very nice. It was a bit of a trek up the hill to the lodges but we got used to it and the staff helped with the bags. Amazing location within the rain forest!

    Arrived via boat and Ema was waiting on the beach as stated in our instructions. He took us to our cabin which overlooked the bay with stunning views. The lodge itself had everything we needed for our stay, was extremely clean and in the perfect location. Highly recommend booking the guided tour to Corcovado NP (Sirena station) with Javier. Ema's restaurant recommendations were also spot on. We only wished we could have stayed in this paradise longer!

    We went to Costa Rica to hike and watch birds. Tamandua has beautiful trails that follow a river so the property and location was perfect. The cabin was very clean and our balcony had a great view of the garden and forest. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony after hiking the trails and one afternoon saw a Tayra run through the garden. We stayed 3 nights which was a perfect amount of time to explore the property. The food was delicious. Rebecca arranged our taxi to and from the lodge which was appreciated.

    If you are looking for a quiet and remote location to relax and unwind, this is the place to be! The lodges are located right at the beach with great ocean view. The shared kitchen allows you to prepare your own food, while the breakfast will be provided to your liking. Best part about this stay are the caring hosts, who will make sure that you have a great experience, for example by managing tours to the national park or diving excursions.
