The big pros: 10-15 minute walk to local access of the beach, relatively comfortable beds (the mattresses appeared to be new, and had comfort tops), and the pool is set back into the trees, so it feels very immersed in the rainforest. The two staff members we interacted with were also very friendly, as was the very charming rescue dog in the office.

Elegant resort, quiet, immersed in nature with breath taking...
Elegant resort, quiet, immersed in nature with breath taking views of the sea from the most exquisite villas. The staff is quiet, kind, professional, the ambience is luxurious but not ostentatious. No loud music, no tvs, a temple of peace and relaxation for couples. The spa is a very upscale experience immersed in the jungle. The biggest surprise is the food: curated by a chef who truly understands simple, fresh taste for elegant meals matched with wonderful wines (and we are picky Italian foodies!). The 4x4 drive up to Kura was also so much fun and one of the highlights of the trip. Highly recommend, a world away from the obnoxious, loud, ostentatious luxurious all-inclusive resorts which have destroyed local cultures around the world.

Uvita is a lovely area to stay in, with beautiful beaches and plenty of waterfalls to visit in the area. We recommend taking a trip to visit the mangroves in Sierpes. Our kids loved the surfing lessons they had here.

Uvita is my favorite beach in Costa Rica.
Uvita is my favorite beach in Costa Rica. It's huge, you feel alone on the beach. The wildlife is beautiful. Tons of restaurants and places to walk. There are different beach sectors that you can chose from. It is a National Park, so you have to pay, but it is well worth it. One ticket gets you onto all the beaches. Staff in the Nationals Park is very helpful and there are patrols on the beach from the police and the National Park Guards.

Uvita was ungodly hot -- so hot that we really couldn't enjoy the sights. Even the ocean is hot. An airconditioned hotel room is a must! Even if there are many interesting birds and animals here, unless you have a high heat tolerance, you'll likely be miserable.

It wasn’t my favorite place in Costa Rica.
It wasn’t my favorite place in Costa Rica. Part of the problem was that it was so unbearably hot. I couldn’t go out and walk around comfortably. I didn’t go to the beach because of the heat and that would’ve been a big attraction also although my hotel was not far from town because of the heat again I found it unbearable to walk into town and walk around which I’d like to do when I’m traveling, so basically, my problems with AveUvita were weather related

Uvita is not the typical beach town, as it's very spread out...
Uvita is not the typical beach town, as it's very spread out and you need a car or a taxi to move around. In Uvita, you can visit the Marino Ballena National Park, which is possibly the most famous attraction in the area, where you can do whale-watching boat tours and other water sports tours like snorkeling and scuba diving.
We visited the Marino Ballena National Park and found its whale-shaped beach very suggestive and unique. However, we were also very underwhelmed by the poor housekeeping of the park. There was rubbish everywhere and this is disappointing and upsetting given that this is supposed to be a protected natural reserve and you also pay for the access at a substantial price per person, which should guarantee thorough housekeeping.
We went also to Playa Hermosa on our way to Uvita, but the amount of signs warning visitors of possible thieves, ruins a little bit of the vibe and it's not very relaxing having to watch your back all the time. Overall the beach is very nice and nothing happened to us. Since Playa Hermosa is also free to access, we recommend a visit, at least a stop by.
Staff was amazing! The food was the best I’ve ever had while on vacation. Very accommodating but also great variety. The staff members were personable and extremely helpful with anything we needed for our stay. Chefs Kiss to the Chef! Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner were all amazing and had a lot of variety. The views and trees from the mountains tops were unmatched! We were literally in the clouds. Our activities were all set up and planned and the staff knew of our daily agenda. It was overall a Great stay with great staff and food.
Excellent location on the edge of Uvita yet also on the edge of the jungle. Easy walk to beautiful National Park beach with no access control. David is a friendly and helpful host. Very cheap tents but comfortable with handbasin and platform and shade. Evening meals provided to avoid walk into town. Excellent swimming pool. Uvita National Park is a peaceful alternative to over - touristed Manuel Antonio and Cool Waters is an excellent base. Recommended.
This is a great hotel. Rooms are large and well appointed. The pool is exceptional (very large with many special features). The location is close to a number of National Park Beaches. Restaurant was very good for the few meals we ate there. My favorite feature for this hotel was the exceptional Nature Trail they carved into the jungle. The trail is about a mile long and is very well done. Gives you a close up look at the jungle with minimal effort.
This was my first trip to Costa Rica. Our first airbnb did not work out but finding and booking at Gaia Ecolodge saved the trip! This personal villa had air conditioning, a great shower, king size be and was very clean. The pool was nice. The onsite bar and restaurant is amazingly delicious- having breakfast included was an added bonus. Also the best pina colada I've ever had! Would absolutely stay here again!
This was the best hotel we have ever stayed in. A spectacular view, delicious breakfast (e.g. self-made quiche, banana bread,...) and super kind hosts. Dear Keith and Joe, thank you so much for this amazing experience including all the tips and tricks for dinner, attractions and transportation. We could not have wished for a better start for our stay in Costa Rica. We highly recommend this place 😊
The garden in the Cristal Ballena Boutique Hotel &the delicious food &drinks in the restaurant were perfect and all the people who work there were so friendly and sunny up.
I also enjoyed the Yoga &Meditation Pavillon a lot in the early morning time!There would be also an opinion to take an hour with a Yoga teacher.
Thanks for this amazing stay in your hotel.Best regards Kerstin from Austria.
The views, location, villas and pool area are all fantastic - especially for the price we paid! We would absolutely recommend this place and would consider visiting again if we go to Uvita.
It was the best WiFi and water pressure we had in Costa Rica (both weak in lots of the places we stayed) and we had an amazing member of staff looking after us during our stay, called Lady.
Sylvain connected to me immediately after booking to touch base and keep me posted with tours he helped set up while we visited UVITA. His Faremiti Hotel is exceptional in location and design; and Sylvain himself could not have been any nicer and available to us. We wished we stayed longer there and will definitely be in touch with him for future visits.
We loved the Yuli Hotel! Such a lovely oasis in the heat of Uvita! Hotel has such a nice vibe, and the pool surrounded by the tropical trees is such a nice place to relax. We spent four nights and wish we could have had longer. Would def recommend. Seba restaurant is also great for meals, and bars does cocktails in the afternoon also.
The Villas are absolutely beautiful, comfortable, modern and secluded.
Management accommodating, friendly and every day made great effort to provide wonderful service and enhance our stay !
Restaurant is available to make you nice drink and food ! You feel very much taken care of with best world hospitality.
This was one of the best places we stayed in Costa Rica. The owner and the staff are very friendly, there is a beautiful beach 5min walk from the hotel, and the whole place is clean and well run. We had a very good time there.
Thank you, Jakub and the whole team :)
It really is a great location. The staff, although speaking very little English, did their best to help out. There is a blonde guy there who spoke the best English out of the staff and was very friendly. He tried to teach me a little bit of Spanish while I was there
It has been by far the best place we have stayed in Costa Rica! The place is immaculate! The apartment was fully stocked . We wish we would have found this hidden gem sooner. 💎
The Host Christian is the best of the world. He Looks so good to the clients and take care of them. If you are in uvita is of cours the best Place to stay!
Thanks Christian
Beautiful place, great location and amaizing service. The experience was really good, a place to enjoy the pacific coast, close to the best beaches in the area.
