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 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.

The beach and marine park area are well worth visiting.
The beach and marine park area are well worth visiting. Costs approx $6 which is very reasonable for Costa Rica. We saw humpback whales and heard them singing on our boat tour. We also snorkelled. It wasn't the right season for dolphins (they come in autumn).
There is not much to Uvita itself. It's very spread out and hard to walk around. Most of the roads are unpaved and dusty. It's perfect for a bike though. Many places (including the marine park) close down at 6pm, including most of the tour operators. The restaurants are good. There is a yoga place there but it only seems to have classes Mon-Wed.
The Tracopa bus service in the area (and from SJ) is very comfortable, punctual and reasonably priced. However you really need a car to explore the area properly - waterfalls etc.
The restaurant and the servers are the best part of this place and is why we booked here. Carla and Andres were incredible servers and were always doing everything they could to ensure we enjoyed our meals. Being celiac the 100% gluten free menu was a treat! It was so nice to be able to look at the menu and order anything. Even my partner who isn’t celiac said the food was very good. The reception staff and housekeepers were also very nice and did a great job cleaning. The views were very beautiful during the day.
This was a lovely little house I rented for two nights, charmingly furnished, clean, quiet and with everything provided regarding appliances and linens, AC and plenty of hot water. There is safe locked parking.
It's a locked facility from 10 pm to 7 am, a key is provided for the after hours,
The best part is one can walk to the beach and nearby restaurants, no need to pay/hunt for secure parking.
It's easy to find, good access.
This place was so nice that we decided to come back a second time. :) Despite the rooms having an open ceiling, we slept so well and it was quiet. Everyone seemed to respect each others privacies. The shared bathroom facilities were clean and never overoccupied. Breakfast was good as well. The shared kitchen is so well equipped. Absolutely stop by Cascada Verde Hostel in Uvita. Best accommodation we had in CR.
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.
Beautiful hotel a little aside from Uvitas main street. There is a nice French bakery right next to it and you can get pretty fast to the beach which is part of the national park. The host did a marvelous job so we would have a good stay and we enjoyed the spots he recommended us. Many thanks for the great time and all the best.
My third stay at Yuli Hotel and hopefully many more to come. The best place in Uvita and perfectly placed for the beach and Diving. Fab staff, good food, beautiful pool, yoga , stunning decor everywhere. I was working remotely and the set up and wifi was perfect. Other guests were all fantastic.
Until next time...
Really nice place, the owners and staff are really friendly and helpful, we have been travelling for a month now between nicaragua and costa rica and have stayed at a mix of places from budget to luxury and this place has by far the best kitchen and shower facilities out of the lot and is squeaky clean
Amazing architecture, really beautiful design of a luxury
hotel, definitely underpriced, great amenities (big gym, sauna, pools, baths, yoga area, water slide, trampoline etc), and again - really beautiful design ; better than the pictures
Everything was great
The beds weere perfect, especially in comparaison with other airbnb I had.
The host is really available if you need anything
overall the best choice one could make in Uvita if you want calm and tranquility
Seemed like a pretty new hotel, very modern and well-maintained. The staff person who dealt with us was very nice and helpful. Good location near a national park entrance and restaurant options. Good parking area.
The location had the best view and the property was even better than we imagined! The host was super friendly, accommodating and met all of our needs. Highly recommend this property for a trip to Uvita!
The best kitchen I have used during my trip. If you're into cooking, stay here. The surrounding garden adds a lot to the location, it's easy to feel at home here. Also, staff was more than helpful.
There are really no words to describe this hotel. The poolside and rooms are perfection. The view is one of the best views one can have in this world and the rooms are just insane.
Tom and his son were the best hosts and welcomed us to their property. Very laidback and entertaining. It is in a great position just a couple of hundred metres from the beach.
Very nice hotel in Uvita, close to the main beach and 5 min taxi to Uvitas "center". You can relax, enjoy the restaurant and bar, also the yoga space and surroundings.
Very charming staff, beautiful rooms and excellent amenities. The views from the room or the lobby are stunning. This hotel make us felt in love with Uvita.
