La Paloma Lodge

Frommer's Review

On a steep hill overlooking the Pacific, with Isla del Caño in the distance, the luxurious individual bungalows at La Paloma offer expansive ocean views that, combined with the attentive service, make this my top choice in Drake Bay. All of the bungalows feature private verandas, and are set among lush foliage facing the Pacific. The large two-story Sunset Ranchos are the choice rooms here, with fabulous panoramic views. The other cabins are a tad smaller, but all are plenty spacious and beautifully appointed, and feature luxurious bathrooms and pretty good ocean views as well. Standard rooms, located in one long building, are smaller and less private than the cabins, but they're still attractive and have good views from their hammock-equipped balcony. The beach is about a 7-minute hike down a winding jungle path, and the lodge also offers scuba certification courses along with free water equipment like surfboards. Hearty and delicious meals are served family-style in the restaurant.

Facilities:
