Cabins in Drake

This place is a gem! Wonderful location, great service from Guillermo and family, great rooms. HIGHLY recommended!

I was delighted by the view from my window and porch. It’s a lovely spot, walking distance to the beach where many of the tours begin. Restaurants are close, but the outdoor kitchen and close proximity to grocery shopping made cooking meals, easy. It’s a quiet safe spot for a solo traveler.

The lodge is quite new and we found the rooms clean and well appointed. The location is great for those wanting to be nestled in the jungle. The breakfasts and dinners were varied and delicious. The homemade bread was wonderful. Most importantly, the staff were warm , welcoming, and fun. Thank you Annie, Anita and Orlando (the self professed “skinny, handsome one”).

If you’re looking for a piece of paradise that’s off the beaten track but a 2 minute walk from a beautiful swimming beach, this is it. We can’t rave enough about this fantastic place. The room is very clean (and cleaned daily), the fan works great, the bed is super comfy and sheets and towels are changed frequently. There were even fresh flowers in our room and welcome coconut drinks when we arrived. The patio, which looks out onto the beautiful garden, is very tranquil and we saw a sloth, an ant eater and tons of birds, including toucans and hummingbirds right from the deck. The hosts, Rafa and Esther, are super helpful and assisted with ferry transportation from Sierpe, transporting our bags from the boat to the accommodation and did our laundry for a reasonable fee. Ester is a fantastic cook and every morning we had a different, delicious breakfast (included with stay). There is an onsite soda (simple restaurant) and everything we tried was very tasty. The ceviche was fresh and delicious and we tried every type of Casado (typical meal of rice, beans, salad and your choice of protein) as well as the tacos and hamburgers and found all to be well presented and yummy. This small, family run ecolodge is about an hour walk from Drake Bay along a beautiful, well marked trail. You can arrange for tours (dolphin, Cano Island snorkelling, Corcovado) to pick you up at one of the beaches close by so you don’t have to worry about not being in town. We loved our jungle experience so much we originally booked 5 nights but stayed 11!

Easy access to beach. Quiet secluded location. Comfortable rooms/beds. Adequate kitchen and bath area. Friendly helpful host.

Our family just wrapped up a 3 night stay at Hidden Paradise lodge and it was a dream. Beautiful, authentic and just perfect for what we wanted as a family. The staff are so kind, attentive, helpful and true pura vida vibes. We loved every breakfast and dinner so much. The pool was fabulous! Mariela, Jorge and Ryan helped us organize our day trips and we were extremely pleased!! We will be back!

Nice walk into town. Quiet location, set in the trees with lovely gardens. And close to the river with a good swimming hole. Sebastian was a great host, super helpful and responsive to my exhaustive questions and requests. Nice guy!

Our stay at this eco lodge was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by the natural beauty and peaceful energy of the property. Everything, from the lush gardens to the sustainable design, reflects a deep respect for nature and a genuine commitment to eco living. We learned so much during our time here about sustainability, local plants, and how to live in greater harmony with the environment. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, always happy to share insights about their eco practices and the surrounding area. The property itself is stunning, immaculate, vibrant, and full of life. Every corner invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with nature. It was a beautiful reminder of how simplicity and care for the earth can create such abundance and peace. We left feeling inspired, refreshed, and deeply grateful for the experience. Highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking to reconnect with nature and learn more about sustainable living.

Everything was perfect, especially Pincho & Annia! We recommend you put Poor Man’s Paradise on your bucket list. A trip here will create memories that will last forever!
