“Good hotel with wonderful view”

The views from this hotel are spectacular. You can see the coast and famous tail shape crystal clear from the restaurant, pool, and probably most rooms (ours certainly had just as good a view). As others have pointed out, this means a couple of things: a steep incline to drive up to the hotel on a partially paved room (don't bring cars with low floors) and going up lots of steps to get to the lobby/restaurant/pool/parking lot. There are small parking lots near the room blocks, but they fit only a couple of cars. The view is really worth it, though. The hotel is very close to Uvita, which is very convenient for visiting Ballena park and doing scuba diving or taking other tours. Quepos and Manuel Antonio are a ways away, but still under an hour drive. Breakfast is pretty good, though some items tend to run out. Lunch is also good, with a broad menu that covers what you would expect. The staff is great, very attentive, and they send you very detailed guides well in advance of arriving. The rooms are large and comfortable, with good A/C and good showers. Very nice balcony to chill and enjoy the view, and blackout curtains to sleep for a long as you want. We loved this place and will keep it in mind when we're back in the area.

We love our trip to Costa Rica. We stayed just for a few days but the experience was pretty good. First of all the view is stunning. The room was so nice and the sunsets were awesome. Honestly, we are wishing back again in our next vacations. The staff was so kind, all of them but there is someone that help us a lot every time every day. From coordinated boat tours, transportation, pre-order breakfast and dinner... So, special thanks to Katherine, she was very careful with each detail and made our stay awesome. Again thanks a lot!

“Wonderful, wonderful stay! The view of the whales tail was unexpected and beautiful!!”

One of our better stays in Costa Rica. The staff, Julie, Jason, Kathryn, etc we so friendly. The filet motion for dinner was exceptional with a wonderful sauce.

“Good hotel”

The hotel is situated on the hilltop above Uvita. So you have an amazing view. We got a very friendly welcome. The rooms are very spacious and clean. Had dinner and lunch which were both very good. Staff is friendly. Maybe a little to "American" in their approach towards costumors. But that's a… lisää
