Drake Bay Getaway Resort by Sandglass

The Drake Bay Getaway was an unexpected delight! Views from the room were exquisite, as each villa is perched on a hillside with an ocean view. The manager was extremely helpful and spent time explaining about the surrounding area and animal life. We felt as if we were staying with family! Meals were beautifully prepared, offering a sampling of the local food. The location was great too, allowing for quiet relaxation, yet still convenient for activities.

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.

The view from the room was unforgettable. HOWEVER, please be aware that you need to go UP a steep hill to get to your rooms from the beach and "lobby/restaurant." The communication with the hotel was not the best. I needed to clarify some things prior to the stay, however nobody got back to me. The only time I got a timely response was when the hotel reached out to me first via WhatsApp. I booked this partly because it stated that the transportation to Drake Bay airport was included, but when we got there they stated it is not included and we would have to pay and schedule in advance. The hotel room itself was great, very spacious with amazing view of the bay.

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
