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.

This place is a gem between the green of Uvita. I loved spending the last days of a fantastic holidays in CR.

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.
Loved the gorgeous wooden cabins, super clean and cozy. The town was laid back and so peaceful. Tons of restaurants, the falls was amazing, beaches and sunsets fantastic, breakfast was the huge and delicious. And huge thanks to amazing hosts, Dan worked hard to provide the best deals on tours in town and made fabulous food recommendations and Sue gave great insight and conversation, I am so grateful for the experience and hope to return for longer next time!!!
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.
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.
the room was lovely, had everything we needed including a balcony with the best view. sounds of nature around you, was great. the best part was the hosts and the food! it is owned and operated by an Italian couple, who cook THE BEST food. we had the greatest meals in Costa Rica at this hotel, even the breakfast was incredible. AMAZING and highly recommend!!!
Flawless experience, meticulous attention to detail, spotless rooms and the complete hotel area, and an overall fantastic atmosphere. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and caring, and the breakfast was very good and changed every day. Without a doubt, this was the best accommodation during our travels in Costa Rica. Thank you!
We felt very comfortable in the Tucan and it was great three days! The hotel has a relaxed atmosphere and a great lounge area. We really enjoyed the breakfast. The Gallo Pinto is one of the best in all of Costa Rica! Thanks for the nice time! The whale watching guides booked by the hotel were also highly recommended.
A cute hotel about 300m walk to the gorgeous Uvita beach! We stayed in one of the small houses, and it was small but plenty of space for 3 adults and 2 children. Comfy beds, friendly staff. It was nice that they cleaned and replaced the towels every day. The bar/restaurant had good food and amazing cocktails.
It was close to the beach. It was an attractive and well equipped apartment with a downstairs chill area, complete with weights, rocking chairs and a hammock. The gardens and pool was lovely too... it was the best place we stayed in during our visit ( and we've been to several now)... it's a real gem
it was a cheap no frills stay. great value for the price. host is very nice and they are responsive and accomadating. Dont expect luxury stay, but at the same the price is very cheap and AC works and clean enough
Gorgeous property! You really feel like you are in paradise. Also, as non-vegans we were a bit unsure how we would like the food - but it was really phenomenal (some of the best food we had all trip actually).
Really best hostel in Uvita. Great to get everywhere and really clean. The vibes are really nice and the owners are helpful. I really enjoyed the stay!
The bad reviews are not true at all!
Loved being up in the jungle and immersed with nature! Falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle was the best part. We felt disconnected from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the city.
beautiful hostel with magnificent surroundings. wildlife nearby. very clean, felt like a hotel. Liked the outdoor shower and kitchen. would absolutely recommend if you go to Uvita.
I loved the place! Spacious rooms and great pool and restaurant area. Very close to playa uvita and walkable to a few restaurants, cafes and mini store.
