Guest reviews for Tapirus Playa
"The room was very nice, the view was right on the water and the owner arranged a parking space for us while we were in Corcovado for an overnight stay. He also stopped by to ensure that everything was ok for us since we were there during a storm and everyone had lost power."
"Most of the things we didn't like were weather-related and exacerbated by the rain, not the owner's fault. The power was out the entire night up until we left. The steps leading to the entrance were made of dirt and therefore muddy and slippery."
"The whole place was perfect! Groceries and restaurants within walking distance. Near all of our tour pickup spots. Beautiful ocean view. The air conditioning was a blessing as it was so hot and humid. Vincent went out of his way to provide a mangrove tour. Will definitely stay here again!"
"Only thing missing is maybe a small seating area inside. We just brought the table and chairs in from the patio as it was too hot to sit outside."
"Centrally located within walking distance to everything. Wonderful sea view from balcony and top bedroom window. Very comfortable bed and great towels. Complimentary bottle of wine was appreciated."
"Stairway to bedroom upstairs was a bit harsh on bare feet."
"Great view to the sea from the balcony from both floors. It is a well equipped and great location, just opposite of the supermarket and agencies for snorkeling and nighttours."
"Aucun."
"Amazing view on the beach from the balcony, especially as we arrived just at sunset - nice and clean apartment, very well equipped - Ideally located to reach any of the meeting points for the different tours - Easy access, reactive host and people who from Martina’s place who helped us check-in were super nice. It’s a bit more expensive than some other options in Drake Bay but more cosy as well."
"Aucun."

"Location, it’s the best house in Drake Bay. Views are gorgeous. The apartment is modern, welk equipped with a lot of nice details to make your stay comfortable. The Air Condition works really well; a life saver in hot and humid Drake Bay. Vincent, the owner was so kind. Helping with reserving the boat, picking us up upon arrival. Communication was very easy. Book his place!"
"If anything: a table inside would be good. We used the one from the balcony."
"Nous avons beaucoup aimé passer notre nuit au Tapirus Playa. Vincent est très à l’écoute et accueillant, il nous a rendu plusieurs services, un grand merci! L’emplacement était parfait: proche de la plage principale de Drake Bay et très belle vue sur celle-ci."
"Rien, tout était parfait."
"Sehr netter Gastgeber der uns im Vorfeld bereits eine Tour organisiert hat. Sehr nah an der Bootsankunft- bzw. Ablegestelle gelegen. Sehr gute Ausstattung."
"Nichts"
"Drake es un pueblo hermoso, pequeño, seguro, lleno de naturaleza, aventuras, gente buena y amable"

Guest reviews
"Everything was amazing the privacy and comfort that I felt was amazing I wished this was my own house so I can stay forever. I love how everything is near by. The beaches, restaurants, tours, supermarkets, etc… Everything in this house was a luxury and I would come to uvita just to come to this house. The host was amazing as well he was very attentive and showed a lot of attention and detail in everything. The house is very well thought for comfort and I would 100% recommend this to anyone who wants to stay in uvita."

"We were absolutely blown away by our stay at the Sloth Premium Villa!! I could only describe it as your very own private paradise, with a stunningly gorgeous picturesque view that can only be explained by being there!! Hands-down the most memorable and beautiful place that I have EVER stayed while on vacation!! Gorgeous floor to ceiling windows only elevated the experience!! The owners were so friendly, engaged, & supportive in helping us with booking different activities during our stay! Definitely a bucket-list dream-stay!!"
"Great location, clean and has everything we needed. Easy check-in and checkout process."

"The hotel staff is very attentive and helpful. They had people waiting for us at the parking area to help us get tickets for the boat shuttle. Once we docked their was staff to bring us to the tour area to check in for the turtle tour we had that evening and then continued to walk us to the hotel. The rooms and common area were very clean. They had some umbrella and rain poncho available if you needed. It was great to have a pool to cool off in. Breakfast was very nice. The staff even brought breakfast to my daughter in her room since she wasn't feeling well. They really take care of all the details. Bring water with you since water here you can not drink."
Derek Carey Lodging
"Fantastic host. He could not have been more accommodating. Even came over on a rainy evening to give us an umbrella. Great value for 2 friends as there were 2 bedrooms. Market and great coffee place were steps away with a few good restaurants only steps farther. As soon as we arrived, the host had a tour guide —Brandon Experience—come over to tell us about the options. Brandon gave us two great tours (morning canoe ride followed by national park) and arranged for our transportation to Arenal."

"All the details of the house were so thoughtful, you could really feel like home. The host was super helpful, very responsive. The house was very clean, spacious, just perfect. Wonderful garden, quiet apart from the sound of wildlife. Looks even better than on the pictures! I would return anytime again and stay even longer. The beach is not walkable distance but one can easily drive there and park safely."
