Vista Alta Ecolodge Bahia Drake

Peggy and Ronnie have created paradise. It’s an absolute must.

Pros: Peggy and Ronnie are an absolute delight. They went above and beyond to make our stay delightful. The surroundings are gorgeous and magical. You are in the jungle and able to observe all the delights, the sounds and sights are amazing. As for Peggy and Ronnie they are a delight. Nothing was too much trouble. They are amazing chefs. We eat the best red snapper of our trip. Staying here met all my dreams of being in Costa Rica. This experience isn't to be missed and I will return. Thank you both

Beautiful lodge with marvellous hosts

Pros: Peggy and Ronny were marvellous hosts taking very good care of us! The location is beautiful.

Pros: I had a magical time at Alta Vista, surrounded by nature. Peggy and Ronny also made my stay there unforgettable. The accommodation was comfortable, very clean and I had everything what I needed. Of course you are surround by jungle, so expect to be waken up by the birds in the morning ,go to bed with the sounds of crickets, marvel to the sky in the night, watch the toucans from your hammock. If you are after being in nature, quiet time, kind and welcoming hosts this is the place to be.

Pros: Very qiet place in the jingle with wonderful jungle slound. Delicious food and very helpful staff. Better to pay cash as otherwise food and drinks are subject to 13% taxes.

Cons: Second coffe or tea or more yogurt for breakfast is additional cost, of which we were not informed. A kajak for two persons costs 2x USD 30. Better ask what costs in addition.

Amazing and friendly Lodge in a beautiful location.

Pros: Absolutely amazing lodge. Location sympathetic to the environment. Within walking distance to Drake Bay. Stunning beach at the entrance. Peggy and Ronny are the highlights of the property, the most welcoming people we have ever stayed with. Nothing too much trouble they epitomise the Tico mentality. They really looked after us, with home cooked meals and anything else we needed. With such great hosts the guests all dined together and all shared stories. Can’t thank them enough for a chilled out break in a Beautiful location.

Pros: We had a wonderful stay here! Ronny and Peggy made us feel so welcome, helped us organise our transfers and tours, and the food was delicious! The location is fantastic, in the jungle (we loved spotting toucans, monkeys and macaws from our hammock), walkable to Drake Bay during the day but with a beautiful, quiet beach just below the lodge (which tours and transfers were able to pick us up/drop us too). I will treasure memories of staying here and hope to return someday!

Cons: Part of the magic is staying close to nature, so while everything was very clean and great for us, it it important to consider before booking if you will be comfortable with eg having a fan, not aircon (it was fine even in the heat!), no hot showers, and consider if you can manage the steps there are up to all the rooms (which can get slippy so bring more than flip flops.)

Great jungle experience

Pros: The view was very nice and the place is surrounded by nature. There’s a nearly private beach. Peggy and Ronny welcome you warmly and make a big effort to make you enjoy your stay

Excellent in all means

Pros: I usually don’t submit reviews unless is absolutely exceptional or complete disaster. Vista Alta Ecolodge clearly falls in the first category. It has a very nice location and surroundings. You can listen to sounds of jungle as well as crashing waves of Pacific. There is another esence that makes it truly exceptional, Rony and Peggy. They will take care of you as you would be a family member. They make a real difference and take it to another level. It had everything I needed: - Tranquility and close touch with nature as it’s outside of the town (30-40 minutes walk) - Easy access to Drake Bay Trail for exploring area - Easy access to nearby beaches for an afternoon dip and exercise - Possibility to join tours / activities right from the beach below the property - Hammocks :)

Cons: Food was way to good not to eat all :)

Pros: Everything- beautiful place with wonderful hosts. As everyone else has mentioned, Peggy makes excellent food and Rony is very attentive to everyone as well. Would definitely recommend and come back if ever in the area again

This is the most magical place to stay in a beautiful remote setting and Rony and Peggy are the best

Pros: The whole place is magical. Rony and Peggy create a warm and tranquil atmosphere. They can’t do enough for you and are happy to sort out trips and transport. The food Peggy makes is the best we had in Costa Rica. The setting is stunning with beautiful wildlife and plants. The beach is lush.

Cons: Nothing for us, but be warned the steps to the lodge and the rooms are steep.
