The owners, the service they provide is super. The facilities with the pool is actually very luxurious and the swing makes it v unique.

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 😊

This place has everything you need and is very comfortable. We travelled with our two kids and they really enjoyed the pool at the end of the day. You are 10 minutes walk from the beach which is a plus. We would highly recommend this place.

Perfect location. Near everything, Uvita has to offer in terms of nature, beaches, and nightlife. There's even a giant supermarket as soon as you connect to the main road. The host, Gavy, was extremely helpful and kind. She seemed amazing with all the guests, but if I go on how she aided us, she was wonderful.

Beautiful hotel a little aside from Uvitas main street. There is a nice French bakery right next to it and you can get pretty fast to the beach which is part of the national park. The host did a marvelous job so we would have a good stay and we enjoyed the spots he recommended us. Many thanks for the great time and all the best.
