The secret to enjoying El Mirador Lodge is being in good physical condition and having an adaptive attitude. At the level where the open air dining room and some of the cabinas are located are million dollar views and on up at the actual viewpoint are billion dollar views of Drake Bay, making the long trek up the steep path...

Interesting experience just getting to Drake Bay...hour long water taxi from Sierpe starts on the river, goes through a mangrove swamp and ends up coming out into a white knuckle ride in the estuary with big ocean swells. Arrived in Drake Bay with an interesting beach landing and got a ride up to the Mirador on an ATV 4x4. This... More

Our first mistake was to arrive to drake bay after dark. The way to the hotel in the dark is problematic and you should bring your own flash light for walking there. We were overwhelmed with the wild life there especially the insects. There are no windows except a fly net and even that didn’t keep all kind of insects... More

El Mirador overlooks Drake Bay, with great views and a breeze (and fan) to make sleeping comfortable. A short walk to town makes everything accessable. We especially enjoyed the boat ride and guided hike to Sirena Station. Roy was a great guide, who was also an expert at taking photos thru his scope! Isis was very well organized - always... More

I stayed here several years ago and was happy to return during my Christmas break in Drake Bay. I had an inside cabin (meaning I had people staying on both sides of me) and would recommend an outside cabin (meaning you have a screen on two sides for air circulation). I rated this high because of the value for the... More

In a super cosy atmosphere you dine togethere with all the guests, and can meet people who are on the same wavelength. Talking about what you have seen in the National Park that day. Isis is the best host and serves you with this undercooked sense of humor.

We did not stay at Cabinas Mirador, but our lodge (Finca Maresia) coordinated tours with them. Mirador had our favorite guides of our entire trip to Costa Rica--Vincent and Rebecca. Their tours were so informative and exciting, with a real focus on National Parks and safety. We were all impressed. The wildlife viewing on these tours was incredible and neither... More

My husband and I stayed at the Mirador for 4 nights. You could throw a rock from our cabina to the ocean. The cabina was simply and rustic (don't expect fine linens) but very clean and spacious. For the price ($45 pp per night, including 3 delicious meals a day), it was a great value. Everything has to get shipped... More

Quiet, peaceful and nice and clean place, well located, good service, good food. We had rooms in a shared wood house with ocean view in the middle of the forest. We feel like we are on your own in the jungle! Nice rustic decorations, flowers.Great experience. We met friendly people in the shared dinning area where it is nice to... More
