Views are incredible, breakfasts were wonderful. It's probably rustic compared to most places in the states, so make sure the expectations match the region. Ellie and Manuela were wonderful, great sources of local info and just wonderful people overall. The hosts are a major highlight of this hotel

This place is just PERFECT! A quiet oasis in rainforest! It is our favorite accommodation after 3,5 weeks in Costa Rica. Doug is super friendly, such a great host. A warm welcome. The property is so beautiful. You can see that they have an eye for details. All the trees, flowers, birds… just lovely. Our villa had beautiful views, we even saw a sloth! The villa is well equipped, clean and super comfortable. The complimentary Costa Rica coffee is a nice bonus. It’s the perfect place to explore the region, but also to chill, for example at the beautiful pool. Thank you so much!!

The property was beautiful. A small, intimate property where we got to watch monkeys in the palm trees and the ocean from our bed. It was wonderful. The food was great - the restaurant served a great selection and breakfast was perfect. Eddie was a star on reception and in the restaurant. It couldn’t have been better.

Ojochal is a great base location to explore the Uvita area...
Ojochal is a great base location to explore the Uvita area beaches and the Sierpe mangroves to the south. Lots of area waterfalls, beaches, attractions, and restaurants. True Costa Rican rainforest and animals along with world class beaches and waterfalls make it the best of everything Costa Rica offers.

Go and watch the fish being unloaded at the “Fish Shop” sign just below Paraiso Azul - birds up close and a range of fish.
It’s only a 40 min drive, on a good road, to Sierpe for a 3 hour river trip - loads of wildlife. Completely recommended

This town is one of the most peaceful and beautiful that we’ve visited in Costa Rica. It also has great restaurants and really nice people. Nice for a couple with no children for a little R&R and great food.
Best food in CR. Sud is great if you want great food and live music or dance lessons (not sure which nights). Other restaurants we loved included Heliconia, Fusion, Kua Kua for the stunning view, Terraba and Mamma e Papa.
Go to Playa Tortuga for a long walk or mellow beach visit and to see the scarlet macaws. Visit Playa Ventanas - more families, people playing, vendors, music. Far more lively than Tortuga.

We had a very nice family stay with trips to the beaches...
We had a very nice family stay with trips to the beaches nearby and the kids enjoying the pool with gorgeous sea view in the afternoons. Precious garden, quiet surroundings except for few extra loud trucks, cosy rooms and a very well equipped kitchen. I loved the open air shower and the daily visits from a funny shy duck!!
The supermarket at walking distance is much bigger than it seems.
This was the sweetest place we stayed in Costa Rica. Claire is a great born-to-be host! Outgoing, helpful and fun to spend time with. Claire priovided a list of close-by restaurants, which alas we did not have time to experience. She provided fabulous breakfasts; her finely landscaped property was abundant with flowers, fruits birds, and monkeys. The cabins were adorable with a comfortable bed, well-appointed kitchen and hot shower. Definitely would return to Hotel El Mono Feliz!
The small boutique hotel offers clean and comfortable amenities, privacy, relaxation, a spectacular elevated view of the ocean and surrounding mountains and jungle landscape, friendly and attentive, staff, eager to please, pleasant guests, and a phenomenal infinity, pool and pool deck. The breakfast meals are delicious and there are many options all day on the menu. All the staff are pleasant and professional, and Carlos, especially is courteous and seeks to go above and beyond.
Fantastic place, wonderful hosts who are very kind🥰 The garden is breathtaking and the pool is perfect for relaxing, the apartment is very spacious and well equipped, nothing was missing. There are shops within a few minutes drive and we have received great recommendations for restaurants from our host. You can also watch a wonderful sunset for a few minutes ♥️ We went to Uvita from here, we loved to come home here, the sound of nature is wonderful.
The casita was perfect with everything we needed to cook for ourselves if we wanted to and plenty of breezes coming through the screened windows. there is also a fully furnished, nice covered terrace for sitting outside. Loved the pool! Perfect for swimming laps or just relaxing. The hosts Alain and Johanne are lovely people, very helpful and attentive. Walking distance to the Village of Ojochal.
The setting of individual mini houses was incredible. You felt secluded but still part of a bustling community with a restaurant and shop nearby. Oh, the restaurant "Citrus": Have every single meal of your stay there. The cocktails, the food, the staff, all excellent across the board. The beaches nearby were an absolute treat - if you have a 4x4, go to Arco beach.
It’s located near Ojochal, surrounded by nature, beaches, and excellent places to eat. It’s not in the middle of town, but slightly up the mountains, which gives it a great view of the ocean. The staff was amazing, really attentive and willing to help improve my stay. Breakfast was really great. Good AC in room, and the room was well equipped.
Julie immediately reached out to connect with me regarding the tremendous opportunities the area offers. She went above and beyond helping us as we stayed in South Pacific for 2 weeks even when we were not staying at Alma de Ojochal at that time. Allan and Magaly and other staff were very friendly and helped us truly feel the Pura Vida.
A wonderful garden place with two lovely & private cabinas. The hosts are amazingly friendly and had great tips what to see around and even baked cookies for us. Very lovely cabina interior, too. Great as base if you'd like to cook by yourself and do not want to stay directly in Uvita. Clean and big refreshing pool in the garden, too.
Beautiful, lush green cool oasis right off the paved road that runs through Ojochal. Sylvain is a lovely host and did many things that made our extended stay comfortable. He is around if you need him but there is complete privacy if you want it. Even with the easy access, the property felt safe. Good value for money.
Valérie and Eric are extremely friendly and caring hosts. And, obviously, they love their Natura Lodge that they have build in Ojochal. It is so well maintained, so pretty, so clean. The wooden villas as well as the gorgeous garden. One of the places we would really like to return to. Thanks for hosting us!
There's a lot to like - the jungle setting and regular visits by the howler monkeys and scarlet macaws, the breakfasts were made to order and delicious, and the hotel manager Lisa, was super helpful in terms of recommendations of things to do, tours to take, places to eat.
This place was so beautiful, that I was a little sad we didn't have more time in the home instead of exploring! We spent mornings on the back porch near the pool, watching nature while having coffee, same with dinner at the big outdoor table. Plenty of space inside
Great spot for seeing birds and monkeys!
The breakfast was delicious. The manager Lisa was friendly and gave us terrific recommendations for things to do. The towels were excellent quality. Nice to have a refrigerator.
We liked everything about this place. The accommodations are wonderful with a beautiful view into the forest. The owners are super friendly and make everything so that you have the best time in or around Ojochal.
A local, cozy hotel with deck/lounging area with pool and great views over the Pacific. Clean, well-kept, good (free) wifi, great complementary breakfast, and friendly, helpful, fully bilingual staff.
Everything was absolutely amazing. The view, the hosts, the room. Dave and Magdalena were extremely helpful and welcoming. It was our favorite hotel of the entire trip, we cannot wait to go back!!
Breakfast was great with fresh fruits and a few choices. The pool was nice, and the property was beautiful and full of vegetations and birds. Good restaurants nearby.
