About
Simple wooden cabins perched high above Drake Bay, each with a wide view of the water — reviewers count more than two hundred steps to the top, so pack light and expect a workout. Michel, the host, gets repeated praise for meeting guests at the boat even on last-minute bookings, helping with luggage, and arranging tours; the night tour and a Corcovado Sirena trip with guide Roy both earned enthusiastic write-ups. Breakfast is well regarded, rooms are clean with good bug mesh, and a restaurant halfway up the drive serves meals and cocktails through the afternoon and evening. The sunset viewpoint above the cabins is a favorite.

The rooms are very basic, but ours had a spectacular view. The common area which has a kitchen also has an amazing view. There's also a good restaurant on site. If you are looking for a place that ensures you get your exercise, this is the place for you! It was over 200 stairs/ steps to our room:)
Beautiful small private cabins with amazing views! A lot of steps to reach it though, but definitely worth it if you don’t mind working your legs. At the top there’s a beautiful spot to see the sunset. Michel was very kind, he came to pick us up with his car to the beach when we arrived to Drake Bay with the boat and he helped us with the boat back to Sierpe. We also had one dinner in the restaurant which was okay, nothing extraordinary.
Michael was there to meet us at the boat despite our last minute booking and hazy Eta info. He's a good sense of humour and was very helpful throughout our stay. He arranged a couple of tours - the night tour particularly good. The room was clean, the safe secure, good bug mesh on the windows (although the bugs will always find a way in in an area so rich in wildlife). Amazing views from the room and from the viewpoint above. Breakfast was excellent in taste and value, luckily there are lots of steps to help work it off. They now have a restaurant halfway up the drive which serves tasty meals and cocktails etc all afternoon/evening with a varied menu. It was especially handy when there was a heavy downpour.
