We enjoyed our stay at Pirate Cove. The staff were pleasant, attentive and helpful in all interactions. The food was enjoyable and plentiful. It was very good planning to include a full meal plan as part of the stay. There really wouldn't have been good options to figure out where to eat in Drake Bay outside of the hotel.

I truly enjoyed my stay at this small lodge. The whole staff was nice and the managers where taking good care of all clients. The food and presentation was great. The bungalow you proposed was a great idea" so comfortable with such a cosy setting. I truly enjoyed myself there.
