Uvita is wonderful if you are trying to get away from people and just relax in the jungle. It's close enough to places like Dominical, but far enough that you're not in the thick of things. If you have an intense fear or wildlife (including bugs), it may not be your thing. I thought it was paradise.
There is not really a town, but the beach in the national park is great!! It's just as I imagined beaches would be in Costa Rica: wild jungle meeting sandy beach. With not too many people there, and the beach being so wide and long, it seemed that we were alone most of the time. Highlight was when we walked out during low tide. I must have taken a hundred pictures, because the view from the ocean towards the beach is breathtaking!! There is also a nearby waterfall, with very refreshing water (not too cold like some waterfalls) and nice pools to dip in. You can even slide down the waterfall, which looks like a lot of fun. We only spend one day there, but that was the perfect time frame. Any longer would have been to long.
Uvita Falls was cool. Rancho Andrews private tour was awesome. The whale tail was one of the coolest things especially if you see it from a higher point. The beaches are long and walkable but know when the tide is coming in. Sabor ESpecial was awesome for dinner. A little pricey but worth it!!!
Enjoyed staying at the Big Bamboo. Had a wonderful time at Cascade Verdi waterfall. Playa Hermosa and Playa Ventanas are both gorgeous beaches with picture perfect sunsets. In town, we had great lunches at Sibu Cafe --An interesting combination coffee shop with outstanding local craft beers and great food. (Don't miss the cheese cake.)
if you didn't have a car, there were plenty of good options for lunch, but dinner choices were more limited if you didn't want long walks at night. There was a daily fee for entering the park, but you could leave and re-enter all day, and it was a mix of tourists and locals, but never very crowded and clean, so it was worth it.
If you're going to this area make sure you visit the Nauyaca waterfall close to Dominical, also going to Bahía Ballena national park is a must, but take your time, you can take a day for each trip having time to enjoy the place and relax. Also I didn't went, but going snorkeling to Isla del Caño is super recommended, this is a whole day trip, with the chance of whale watching
“The family that runs the hotel are some of the nicest people I'd met visiting Costa Rica. They treated me like family and being a solo traveler it really made my stay there all that much better. Also I had the best quesadilla I've ever eaten at their restaurant! I would definitely stay here again.”
“I love everything about this hotel. The staff are excellent. It is so beautiful, the 180 degree views are breath taking. The infinity pool is so beautiful and very relaxing to swim in. We were treated like royalty the entire time we were there. We consider the people that work there to be our friends. Valuable contacts for when we move there in a couple of years. Thank you for the awesome experience. Marty and Jamie Clark, Mississippi”
“A really lovely place high up on a hill away from the beaches and town of Uvita. Beautiful views, and a very interesting open style of villa that very much gave the sense of being in nature.”
“The location is utopian: hummingbirds every morning, a waterfall just up the river, 5 minute drive to the beach or downtown. The casitas are beautiful, modern and clean. Rachel and Steve's hospitality is unmatched. Our experience in Uvita and Dominical was significantly enhanced by their recommendations and insight. We spent four nights at Casitas del Rio and will definitely be back.”
“Cristian and Estelle went out of their way to make our visit as pleasant as possible. The bungalows and grounds are meticulous and breakfast was delightful. It was a 5 minute walk to the market and bank/ATM and there was a lovely restaurant (Los Laureles) right down the road. Alamo/National folks were very helpful in securing a car for us - even bringing it to our lodging and picking it up from our hotel in Manuel Antonio.”
