Drake Bay Hiking Trailhead Tours and Activities

Beautiful restaurant and hotel. It has a fun relaxed feel. As soon as you enter you feel transported. The rooms are beautifully decorated, they are specious and have all amenities. We truly enjoyed our stay. We ended up having dinner every night at Casa Lamia since it was the best restaurant we tried in Costa Rica. The service was friendly and impeccable. The staff made you feel at home. We were waken up everyday to a delicious breakfast made by Yeimy. Our fondest memories of Costa Rica were at Casa Lamia, can’t wait to go back.

The property is very unique in that you will see wildlife everywhere. People who have issues walking should avoid the villas . There are just too many steep steps leading to the main lodge. The roads are not paved so be prepared for bumpy rides.

We took two tours arranged by the resort: Manuel Antonio national guided walking tour and mysteries of the night (within the property). On the first, we saw three types of monkeys (white faced, howler and squirrel), sloths, and some birds. It was very hot the day we went, and we were very tired; though the tour was good, not that impressed given that this park was considered the best in the country. The night tour was much more impressive with so many frogs and toads with their unique sound apart from some nonvenomous snakes. It was worth our time and money. We found more sloths, toucans, and birds within the property than in the national park. The resort had a host of swimming pools, great breakfast and a variety of restaurants. The nearby beach town of Manuel Antonio was very small and the shuttle timings were not that convenient. The beach was just OK. The staff at the resort were all very friendly and they introduced us to the theme of Costa Rica, “Pure Vida” and lived up to it. The room was well lit and the service excellent. I would recommend the resort but it may be a little pricey.
