The Tranquilo Lodge - All Meals Included

I can't say enough about this amazing place that Christophe and Sebastien have created. Whether you're looking for a "base" while you explore all that the Osa peninsula has to offer, or if you are simply looking for a place to be pampered and rejuvenate, Tranquilo has what you need. The staff are simply amazing. Attentive, thoughtful, caring, and knowledgeable. The really seem to enjoy doing everything the can to meet your needs and make you feel special. The chef provided incredible meals, and the masseuse made me feel like a new person. The resort itself provided once-in-a-lifetime views and the villas made us feel like we were right in the middle of those views.

Stunning property and room. Attentive owners and staff. Amazing food. Really a perfect 6 days.

We had a phenomenal stay and I couldn't recommend this place more. Like everyone said, the food is incredible and some of (if not) the best food we've had in all of Costa Rica. Both the owners as well as the staff go over and beyond to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. The villas are spacious, clean and luxurious. We went on two tours that were organised by the hotel, the snorkling one as well as one to Sirena national park - both of them incredible! Keep it up team Tranquilo :).

Beautiful property, delicious dining, an amazing room. Great tours too.

The gorgeous panoramic view of the bay was one of the highlights; we stayed in the Panoramic Villa and honestly could have happily spent the whole five-day stay there, listening to the buzz of the rainforest waking up in the morning, and watching the toucans and scarlet macaws and green parrots and butterflies zipping and diving around the balcony. The owners, Sebastien & Christophe, were both seamlessly professional -- they obviously care very much about every detail -- and warm and unforgettable. We really enjoyed talking to them. Likewise, we always looked forward to seeing Gonzalo (who makes heavenly fresh fruit juices by request). It was wonderful to have everything arranged, including the meals and tours. When we had to leave but wanted to take a slower boat-ride back to Sierpe instead of a fast boat, they arranged for a boat that took us on a leisurely tour of the mangroves, where we saw a sloth and crocodile and countless birds. It ended up being one of the most fun parts of the trip! I haven't even mentioned the details of the room that made it so relaxing and delightful, including the rain shower and heavenly-smelling shampoos, body wash and insect repellant. They really thought of everything.

Wonderful garden and pool, very good food, friendly staff. However: Unfriendly e-mail messages from the owners (nb their e-mails often only found in spam). Even after arrival at the hotel further e-mails from the absent owners despite normal communication with the staff. The final bill was paid by credit card on departure. Daily reminders follow to pay this amount again with paypal.

I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. I was picked up by Christophe at the airstrip and he was so friendly and welcoming. On arrival Sebastien welcomed me and they are just gorgeous. My bags disappeared to my room without me noticing whilst they started feeding me. The service, the environment, the rooms and the food are just exquisite. Nothing is too much. I loved this place and would love to go back again as I was in my happy place. Highly recommend 😍

Easily the most relaxing and beautiful place to stay in Drake. Christophe & Sebastian make sure you are completely looked after and the team are very attentive. The food is amazing. If you're looking for a relaxed remote get away, this is it! Wish I'd booked longer!

The property was beautiful. Out of the 6 places we stayed, this was our favorite! It was secluded and safe. The privacy of the rooms and front porches was amazing. The views, sunsets, and wildlife showed all Costa rica had to offer. The owners and staff were hands down the best part. You could tell how much they cared and loved what they do. The chef was the best!!! Make sure to visit Tranquilo when in Costa Rica.
