The staff was very friendly and helpful when we needed assistance! The staff cooked our breakfast to order and it was delicious and filling! The common areas had tables, chairs and hammocks! The pool was beautiful and had lounge chairs as well. There was a field for children to play on and a big swing chair! The tropical plants and trees all around was so refreshing and we loved hearing the birds and monkeys in the morning. The air conditioning was key!!

Very kind and helpful staff. They were even patient with my Spanish :-)
The restaurant had good food. The best Gallo Pinto we had during our trip so far.

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.
We ended our 2-week trip there and we could not have expected a better ending.
Probably one of the best hotels we have stayed in. The view of the jungle and the ocean were truly amazing. Very interesting and delicious vegan dishes, great electronic lounge music and overall private and relaxing atmosphere.
Very friendly staff (including the owner).
The hot tub and pool area was as well incredible with comfortable sunbeds.
We would love to come back!
The views, location, villas and pool area are all fantastic - especially for the price we paid! We would absolutely recommend this place and would consider visiting again if we go to Uvita.
It was the best WiFi and water pressure we had in Costa Rica (both weak in lots of the places we stayed) and we had an amazing member of staff looking after us during our stay, called Lady.
No sound proofing, so you heard every single truck and car go by, even though we had the room on the opposite side of the road. The owner was great and very accommodating. Breakfast was also good. The hotel is for sale and you can tell it needs some work. If you are a hard sleeper you won't have too many issues otherwise bring ear plugs. Good for one night's stay.
Amazing views. We saw white faced capuchin monkeys and all sorts of birds (including hummingbirds and tucans) from our very clean and comfortable room.
Very kind and helpful staff. They were even patient with my Spanish :-)
The restaurant had good food. The best Gallo Pinto we had during our trip so far.
We can definitely recommend the stay!
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.
Best “room” I’ve ever rented. Breath taking views, private hot tub with view, large bathtub and beautiful open shower area with view. Bed is centered in the middle of the room and you wake up to a panoramic ocean view. Staff is attentive, will go above and beyond to assist in making your stay the best it can be.
The property is bigger than it looks when you dorst enter. The best part of the hotel are the friendly owners. Sylvia is very kind and helpfull, her husband makes fresh bread, pasta, the baked bananas with cinamon are the best we had in Costa Rica. Good breakfast and dinner. A good spot to do tours around.
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.
Absolutely outstanding! We travel a lot and love to stay in family owned places. Accomodations superb and Eric and his wife, the owners are more than gracious. And then there's Eric's cooking in the restaurant next door, the BEST 8n Uvita but make reservations! I will be back!
One pf the best places I have been staying at. Great value for money. The Tucan Hotel offers privacy and comfort even in the dorms. Central location, everything you need is around. Staff are helpful and friendly. Will come back.
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.
The location was great, just about 7 minutes off the main highway and close to the beach of Playa Hermosa and the town of Uvita, but quiet and removed, tucked into the hills, looking into the canopy.
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.
There are really no words to describe this hotel. The poolside and rooms are perfection. The view is one of the best views one can have in this world and the rooms are just insane.
It has been by far the best place we have stayed in Costa Rica! The place is immaculate! The apartment was fully stocked . We wish we would have found this hidden gem sooner. 💎
Tom and his son were the best hosts and welcomed us to their property. Very laidback and entertaining. It is in a great position just a couple of hundred metres from the beach.
Adriana and her family were the best. They took me in like family. She is a great cook, and the additional price MORE than fair. Will definitely go back!
