This hotel should not be a hotel. People should not be spending money to stay in this horrible place because you will not be able to sleep. The noise level is horrendous. People walking on the room upstairs all night, and I mean all night. The reception area closed at 7:00 and n one to complain about the noise. The room smells dirty. The bathroom smells like urine. The towels are dirty. The AC makes a horrible noise. There was a DJ who played music until 12:00 am, and no one to complain.

This place was very good for our 1 night stop. The highlights were the owners, their dog, the AC and the delicious dinner. Room was basic. Mattress basic. Shower adequate. Road noise was loud. Just bring earplugs. Little pool looked good although we did not use it. Monkeys in the trees.

Wonderful hotel on a beautiful property
A wonderful hotel located on a beautiful property right along the main highway. My wife and I only stayed the night as a stop over along our trip to the Osa, but we will definitely be back. This property is well worth a few days stay if you enjoy comfort surrounded by nature. We will most definitely be back!

Lovely experience at a hotel that ought to receive more well-deserved attention to it. It's cosy, very clean, in overall good shape despite COVID-19 and very well managed by its staff and owners, who proved most kind at going off their comfort zone - - got us a much needed 4x4 taxi to help us arrive on time to a film shoot of ours. Thank you for everything really!

This hotel is in a quiet area. There really aren't many amenities besides the pool, wifi, and the breakfast. Of course, Max the dog is super friendly and made a great guide to walk though the jungle to the beach. The owner Raul really made us feel welcomed and made breakfast for us personally. The walls are really thin here that we can hear the guy on the phone in the next room. Just a basic lock on the door, but we didn't feel unsafe at any moment.

Wonderful hosts, lovely breakfast and good location. (Uvita is pretty remote) The room was really nice and I had a great sleep, bathroom curtain was a bit dodgy/needed to be replaced. Over all a good value and reccomended place to stay.

The many trees and privacy. There is an excellent Cuban restaurant on the property, and a good chef and cook. No pressures , either use Pool or make a short walk to the beach, with senderos. Good bird watching. It was a pleasant stay.

We enjoyed our stay here. The owner, Raul, was amazing. The restaurant on site was closed but he offered to make us food anyway. All the staff were nice and accommodating. He’s upgrading the rooms. Max the puppy was the sweetest thing. It’s anout a 10-15 walk through the jungle to an incredible beach. Great stay!

Great family (couple) operated hotel, with direct access to the beach located within a beautiful national park. It was one of the best experiences of our journey throughout Costa Rica, especially because the property owners made us feel so much like family instead of guests that we did not want to leave and are missing them so very much! Great Cuban Restuarant and cuisine, wonderfully styled rooms within jungle canopy that was amazing! Very clean, neat, comfortable, spacious rooms and an awesome feeling of Pura VIDA! We’ll be back soon & thank you for making our short stay so wonderfully pleasurable and relaxing!
