Bahia Ballena, Uvita, Costa Rica –

Great location, friendly staff and a very good price.

Andrew, United States of America

The layout of the area was really great. Nice and close to a very pretty, chill beach. The owners and workers are so nice and so helpful. The room itself was nice size and very cute!

Jaclyn, United States of America

I had trouble finding the hotel because I didn't have GPS on my phone yet. I stopped in a restaurant and asked a clerk to call the hotel. Jacob, the owner, and his wife came to where I was so I could follow them back to the hotel.

Lucia, United States of America

Clean, new and lots of space. Good kitchen and great pool.

Joseph, Costa Rica

Margotorrez, Costa Rica

The hosts were efficient and friendly, the apartment was clean and comfortable and the fans kept it cool. Having Flutterby House with its great restaurant next door was a bonus as was the short walk to a beautiful beach.

(We stayed in a standard room by the pool, so don’t know about some of the villas) It isn’t really a hotel - more a motel. This is because there is no daily cleaning service provided, the main area next to the pool becomes a car park at night and the rooms are very basic

Unprofessional. Hostile staff. Associates smoke on premisses. No house keeping. Suspiciously cash only preferred. Not hospitable. Not a Hotel. Not one of Booking's best recommendations.

Nothing, it was all good!
Lovely owners, food is delicious and good value for money compared with some other overpriced places close by. Next door to popular and social hostel (we normally stay in hostels but privates were crazy expensive) which also has excellent food at very very good prices. Tropical beach has a nice pool area and whilst room was on the small side bathroom was excellent and facilities perfect. Can access the whale tail beach for free by going down a different entrance, a 5 min walk to the beach. A little far to access ATM on foot so bring cash with you, or owner can arrange taxi for 4000 colones return which was good. More like a motel/bnb style place than a hostel but everyone seemed friendly.

Our room was not cleaned once, not was there any offer. Requests for laundry were ignored. Any typical expectations of any accommodation no matter the type we’re not met. They are understaffed (don’t have staff) and don’t know what they are doing in the world of hospitality. Quite obviously the Polish people that own the place, and are trying to run it, are new to this and are in way over their heads.

Finding the property was harder than it need to be. It isn't signposted from the main road into Uvita and as it is new the park rangers were not familiar with it to give directions. It needs a sign post from the road! But to help... travelling towards Marino Ballena, Uvita there is a small crossroads junction with a bus stop (flutterby house/hostel is signed on this bus stop), turn left here towards flutterby, following flutterby signs Tropical beach is right next door. Flutterby House is also noted on google maps and if we had known this we'd not have got so lost! Also, not so sure about the "Predator" / alien themed furniture of the future restaurant. It seems out of keeping with the Tropical Beach hotel name but who am I to judge... we couldn't try the food as the restaurant was not yet opened when we stayed.
This was a stopping off point for us, we had been in the jungle and off to the cloud forest. Uvita was only meant as a facilities stop for us. The room was quiet, spacious and more like a chalet, it had a fridge and small kitchen area, seating area and two bedrooms plus a large bathroom. The chalets were carefully screened from each other by tropical planting. There was a communal pool which was only just completed and a wonderful surprise addition. The beach is minutes from the property, check tide tables at Flutterby House next door if you want to walk to the whales tail. It takes 45minutes each way. There is a large supermarket with many European foods on the main 34 highway to stock up. We only stayed one night as we were passing through but you could easily stay longer if you love beaches and surf.

The only thing I didn't like was the noise from the Flutterby Hostel next door; however, there is a 10:00 PM noise curfew until 0700 in the morning and they respected that. I knew before booking that the hotel was still under construction. I was the first person to stay in one of the new units. The furnishings were very basic; a bed, 3 drawer end table, shelf unit, TV and AC. There was no chair or table in the room, nor did they provide any maid service. I swept my own floor and emptied my own garbage. I didn't mind any of this because the rest of the service was great. Mac, the Alien Restaurant owner, and Martin, the other cook (owner?) treated me like family. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. They served breakfast and dinner but no noon meal.
I had trouble finding the hotel because I didn't have GPS on my phone yet. I stopped in a restaurant and asked a clerk to call the hotel. Jacob, the owner, and his wife came to where I was so I could follow them back to the hotel.
