Where To Stay in Drake Bay
As we mentioned in the intro, accommodation in Drake Bay reflects the two main types of travellers venturing this far south in Costa Rica. So, there’s lots of simple, local-owned guesthouses, hostels, campsites and cabins, a dozen or so eco-lodges or romantic beach retreats set in the jungle or by the remote beaches, and nothing really ‘in the middle’.
There are, thankfully, no franchise hotels or high-rises in sight.
After our experience and location scouting, and deep-dive into reviews, we’ve done the hard work for you, and curated everything down to our pick of the best places to stay in Drake Bay. There’s something perfect for every budget and travel style – the long-term traveller on a budget, adventurous honeymooners, families, and two-nighters looking for something special – and we’ve broken it down into three categories for ease of reference: Eco-Lodges & Beach Retreats, Mid-Range Stays, and Backpacker Accommodation.
The main thing for you to decide is your budget and whether you want to be based in or around the village of Agujitas, a short walk from the best Drake Bay beaches, or in the secluded green jungle.
We’ve put ADR next to those we think are just that extra bit special (not all of them break the bank).
