Hotels in Drake Bay
Given the remote location and logistics of reaching Drake Bay, as well as the individual isolation of each hotel, nearly all the hotels listed below deal almost exclusively in package trips that include transportation, meals, tours, and taxes. I list the most common packages, although all the lodges will work with you to accommodate longer or shorter stays. Nightly room rates are listed only where they’re available and practical, generally at the more moderately priced hotels.
In addition to the places given full reviews on this website, Ocean Forest Ecolodge (tel. 510/235-4313 in the U.S.) is a lovely lodge near the Río Claro, specializing in yoga, spiritual, and educational retreats.Bookstore
