Drake Bay Getaway Resort by Sandglass

No TV in room, power goes out everyday, no A/C in a very hot/humid town. The walk from reception/restaurant to any of the 5 casitas is brutal! Must be in very good shape! They should provide golf carts for every trip up and down that steep hill! The view was great and the staff very kind though. Breakfast wasn’t too impressive either.

Drake Bay Getaway has amazing views from the restaurant and the rooms. It is very well placed for exploring the area and taking tours. We would like to highlight how helpful Dylan the Manager was. He met us on arrival by boat from Sierpe on the beach and made sure we had what we needed during our stay. The Hotel will be undergoing renovation at the end of the year and this will undoubtedly enhance the hotel access. The path up to the rooms has steps and there is an unmade road but Dylan can help you with his buggy.

Friendly staff. Amazing view. Nice rooms

This is a beautiful place to stay, it is indeed work out with lots of stairs and heels, but the views are like no other. And it’s not a far walk to the beach so all of the past are worth it to explore.

I would not stay here again. Communication prior to arrival was non existent after multiple attempts through email, WhatsApp, phone calls and IG. The transportation and tour booking help that was promised in their description was therefor not met. Upon arrival I mentioned this and the response from the manager was that yes, this is known issue but there was nothing they could do. This property will undergo major renovations in the fall and it seems they will just coast until then. The room was very very hot, the fan was not sufficient for me to have a good night sleep. Many insects in the room at night as the screens and door seals were not sufficient. It was very loud and disturbing being under another room. I could hear conversations clearly and simply walking around sounded like the ceiling was bout to come down. Unfortunately I didn’t dig deep enough in my searches of reviews but if you look across multiple booking sites and google you’ll find all these same complaints. Hoping this review helps others avoid the same mistake.
