The view was amazing. The room had a balcony overlooking the sea, fantastic views of the sunset. The pool area was fantastic as well, the view on the sea was incredible. The price was very reasonable for the location and facilities.

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.
Beds were comfy and clean. Reception was responsive and accommodating with a late check-in and allowing a late-checkout as well, which was really helpful. It's a very short walk to the beach which was stunning and pristine. Uvita is a cute, laid-back beach town, and in retrospect, I wish I would have spent more time there. At Yuli Hotel, I would have liked to have stayed longer to have been able to try out the yoga classes they offer above the restaurant.
We Loved our stay at the Tucan Hotel. You can see how much work the owners have put into the hotel in the past year: It looks fabulous. It's comfy, spacious, and feels intimate. The staff was so lovely. I also absolutely loved the presence of the animals around. It's right next to the big street in Uvita and yet far enough so we don't hear the cars all the time. The supermarket and many restaurants are also nearby. Very lovely stay!
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.
Nice, modern hotel close to the Uvita national park. Bars and restaurants 5 minutes away. Nice pool and a kitchen for use by residents. Helpful staff and a very good Whatsapp communication system which gave us direct an immediate contact with the hotel. Nice pool and an on-site restaurant with entertainment. Whale Tail brewery nearby, also Uvita waterfall(go in via the upper access point)
The view is amazing - the hotel is up on the hills above Playa Hermosa, so you can sit and watch the ocean (and hear the waves crashing!). Toucans flit around the trees - didn't see any monkeys, but we were awakened by howler monkeys, a most efficient alarm clock! Be aware that the rooms are cabins without a/c, but all feel nice and secluded with ocean and/or jungle views!
the property was nice and clean, and the owners of the place, Silvia and Ferdinando, are hands down the best value added to this place!
the location is perfect, 10 min a walk to the main beach. the other great plus which come with the Italian couple who owns the place is the delicious Italian restaurant! even if you don’t stay at the hotel you have to try it!!
Great place for visiting Uvita! Conveniently located close to restaurants and the beach, the hotel offers clean and airconditioned rooms, a private swimming pool and a washing/drying machine (which came in very handy halfway through our holiday). Communication also went smoothly. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing stay ! Great location, quiet at night, clean, and a fantastic property. We did not have a car, and got around to restaurants, waterfall and the national park by foot. Sylvain answered all our questions and helped us get the best holiday in Uvita.
It was the best place where we stayed in Costa Rica. Really nice and comfy. the common area is super good, rooms are clean and bright. Friendly staff. Beautiful and empty beaches are very close. Were absolutely happy to stay here
Amazing views from the rooms and pool area, beautiful sunsents, toucans :) This hotel is a magic place. Great breakfast, pool area and gardens. The best hotel we stayed during our 3 weeks trip to Costa Rica.
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!
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.
Everything was amazing! Monique and Hans are the best. The photos do not capture the beauty of this place. We were served an amazing breakfast the first day and welcomed with open arms.
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.
