We loved our stay at the hotel! First of all, the design of the hotel is beautiful, not only the overall buildings, but also the details. Also, the service was very good, including the check-in process, the breakfast and the room service. We always felt very welcome thanks to the friendly staff. Lastly, the hotel is secure, with the front door being locked all day, and the beach and some restaurants can be reached by walking.

This is the perfect place to stay in Uvita. Walking distance to the national park's beach (the best one around) and restaurants. A very short drive (few minutes) to many other restaurants, shops etc. With private, very secure parking. The cabinas are very comfy and had everything we needed. It's just 3 of them there, so it's pretty intimate. All the amenities worked great, including AC. Theres a very nice pool and you're surrounded by tropical plants and birds. And of top of that Scott is a very welcoming and super helpful host. Tip: trips booked by him are cheaper than when do it online in the same agencies. Lovely place, 10/10. Thanks Scott!

The whole place is great. From hot, hot showers ( loved the semi outdoor one)to the most incredible breakfast ever! The dorm is the cubical type and done well with a fan and light, feels private even when full. It is close to the bus terminal and supermarket and the waterfalls.of course. A bit of a trek to the beach but Uvita doesn't seem to have one centre!
