Poor Man's Paradise Lodge

Truly a piece of paradise

Pros: Lovely place for those that manage to reach it. Position is fantastic and surrounded by nature. staff is friendly, rooms are basic but clean and spacious. Food was good. We arrived by car and we had to cross 2 rivers, plus the last 200m of road are really difficult. It’s better to park the car earlier and walk the last 200m. Don’t go by car if you don’t have a 4x4.

Cons: Pricey for what you get. Bar is only open a few hours per day, and only serves alcohol. I couldn’t get a fruit juice, or a fresh coconut, even though they grow naturally all over the place.

Great location and staff

Pros: Beautiful spot close to the magical Corcovado National Park. Wendy was amazingly helpful and made the best cocktails in the bar 🍹

Cons: All good!

Amazing lodge set in a beautiful location

Pros: Absolutely loved this place. The staff were always so friendly and welcoming. They made me feel right at home and helped me out with anything I needed. You really feel the community spirit at this place which I loved. The beach is right on your doorstep, and I loved falling asleep listening to the waves. The best sleep I've had on my trip so far. It's a bit difficult to get to and from Drake Bay if you don't have a car but I liked that it was a bit off the beaten track. The family were very accommodating giving me taxis to and from my destinations from the airport and Drake Bay. Would definitely come here again.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Amazing location, comfortable and relaxing. Super friendly staff who made me feel very at home and welcome. I felt safe here as a female solo traveller. The food was great!! Thanks so much I’ll be back!

Bliss

Pros: This location was an authentic paradise. A real family feel accommodation where everyone is so nice and happy to help out. I loved the bar and all the cocktails and the location.

Cons: The food was the only thing that wasn't perfect but was still great for value.

Perfect place for a few days relaxing, catching up on rest, enjoying nature and access to Corcovado.

Pros: Location was amazing. Close to the beach, incredible views, awesome sunsets. Food was tasty and sufficient. Staff and others around the property and neighboring properties were all super friendly and helpful. Mario made yummy cocktails at the bar and was always willing and able to help out. The bungalows were comfortable and clean and I spent a lot of hours just reading a book in the hammock on the balcony. No AC but the fan was more than adequate to cool the room down at night and allow for a great sleep. No hot water but that really wasn't an issue as after a swim it was nice to rinse off and cool off under a cooler shower (the water is not really cold). I did an overnight trip to Sirena from here and it was easy to get the boat in and out and I'm sure any other tour would be equally as easy to arrange and organise. I wish I could have stayed longer and def hope to visit again in the future.

Cons: The only thing that detracted for me were the continuous large tour groups that used the restaurant for lunch and dinners. I fully appreciate that they provide a very valuable and stable income stream but they were loud and impacted ability to enjoy a quite meal soaking in the sounds of nature.

Back to the roots.

Pros: The staff was all very very friendly und extremly helpful. The environment and nature was great. The Lodge is simple but there was everthing we needed. It was feeling like staying in a camp - very familiar.

enchanting

Pros: best place I have ever been! one of the most beautiful beaches in the world!

Nachdem unser Auto wieder oben war, konnten wir den Urlaub geniessen.

Pros: Im Paradies. Rundherum nur Natur. Schöne Zimmer mit Veranda. Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal.

Cons: Die letzten 400 Meter Anfahrt zur Lodge sind Katastrophe.

Gut

Pros: Die sehr gute Lage Die Größe des Zimmers Der Ausblick

Cons: Keine Klimaanlage Preis/Leistungsverhältnis nicht gerechtfertigt
