Small hotel for comfy staying. I like personal of this place, especially owner Gilberto🙌 He helped us in any questions- about some things to buy for convenient living at hotel, because it’s new one, about life in Uvita and people there) Apartments with a kitchen and living room in one space, bedroom and bathroom. One conditioner in the bedroom, sometimes at noon became hot) Big balcony, where I had practice yoga every day, fans at living room and balcony. We had all for long time living there and it’s grate) Swimming pool, where you can relax. Majestic sunrise and sunsets there, I woke up without an alarm clock to the sounds of birds singing at 5 am- it’s magical and amazing!)))

The concept is great, you have your little bungalow with everything you need and privacy and the communal area if you’re interested to meet new people and exchange your trip experiences. The owners are super friendly and very helpful with recommendations. The bungalow was super clean. Gated parking keeps you feel save.

The location of the villa (we had the “kolibri lovenest”) was amazing! Great views over the sea and Forrest. Personal service was excellent and beyond our expectations.

Jorge and his Father were very sweet, nice and relaxed. Their little house was cosy, good equipped and what's important - it was better and bigger than it looked on the photos. Thank you for a great stay and your marvellous hospitality - Pura Vida 😊

Everything was perfect. We had 2 amazing days in Uvita. Excellent contact with the host. The house is brand new, fully equipped. Excellent equipment in the kitchen. Barbecue area. A place on the terrace overlooking the forest, where you can eat peacefully. Comfortable and large bed. Excellent internet connection. Very clean and functional bathroom. The neighborhood is quiet, you can only hear birds (hummingbirds, parrots and toucans). Fantastic pool, hammock and plenty of space where you can relax. No problem to find restaurants and eat in the area. To the beach quite close about 10 minutes walk. We also used the laundry service (fast and inexpensive - we recommend). It was really sad to leave the place. For sure we will visit it again. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
