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.
This was my first trip to Costa Rica. Our first airbnb did not work out but finding and booking at Gaia Ecolodge saved the trip! This personal villa had air conditioning, a great shower, king size be and was very clean. The pool was nice. The onsite bar and restaurant is amazingly delicious- having breakfast included was an added bonus. Also the best pina colada I've ever had! Would absolutely stay here again!
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!!!
Everything! Room was very clean and AC worked great, the view from the room was amazing. The lounge and pool were the best. The service of the staff was amazing, especially the owner Pablo. He was very kind and helpful with amazing Omotenashi mind. We love everything about this place and staying at La Uvita Perdida was one of the highlights of our trip.
Location was absolutely perfect. 5 minute walk to a stunning beach, amazing restaurants all around. Very safe area for families or female travelers. Best area in Uvita in my opinion. Flutterby has the nicest staff as well, the owner was so kind and friendly. The hostel has clean rooms and is immersed in nature. Great value for your money.
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
I loved everything about this property. The staff was out of this world, the villa we stayed in was breath taking, our whole experience can’t even be put into words. They went above and beyond for us in every way and made my husbands birthday and all the surprises that came with it, the best trip ever.
Great location, five minute walk to the national park and whale tail beach. The cabin was very large and well equipped. Grounds were well maintained and the kids really enjoyed the pool. If you are visiting Uvita to enjoy the beach with the family, this is a great spot. Parking was nice and secure.
There’s a ton of hammocks set up in all of the common spaces for relaxing. The setting was very beautiful as you were pretty much in the jungle. The location was great as it was about a 15 minute walk to Uvita, Marino Bellena, and Bahia. Laundry was cheap and prompt!
It really is a great location. The staff, although speaking very little English, did their best to help out. There is a blonde guy there who spoke the best English out of the staff and was very friendly. He tried to teach me a little bit of Spanish while I was there
the hotel has a very nice setting, beautiful big garden, swimming pool, area to chill with hammocks, wi fi working well. we stopped in Uvita for one night and it was nice to chill at the hotel in the morning.
breakfast is good and staff is very friendly
The casa is situated in a beautiful location above the river in a jungle setting.
It has all the amenities that I needed for a really comfortable stay for 3 nights.
And it is close to Uvita and Playa Hermosa is just down the hill.
Sueños Tranquilos is a gorgeous hotel with delicious food and drinks, a stunning jungle, kind staff! It's a lovely little relaxation hub to hang at after surfing or exploring Uvita. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here :)
So private and a little oasis in Uvita - wish we had more time there. Everything we needed was available. The home was clean and so nicely appointed. The best feature was the cat - a good luck charm for sure !
The staff was exceptional! This is so important as they are the ones who represent the hotel best. Breakfast was very good with several choices, and the pool area was relaxing and offers an unbeatable view.
Beautiful place, great location and amaizing service. The experience was really good, a place to enjoy the pacific coast, close to the best beaches in the area.
Nice hotel, very close to Uvita beach. The room was nice and had all the amenities we needed for a short stay, we wished we could have spent more time in Uvita.
We loved everything about this place! It was by far the best hotel we stayed in during our trip to Costa Rica.
We are looking forward to coming back there!
