Bahia Ballena, Uvita, Costa Rica –

The facilities are really nice and the pool was amazing. The apartment was perfect for us and the place is pet-friendly. Very quiet and everything was comfortable.

Gabrielle, Panama

Perfect location, next to the beach. Apartment was big and fully equipped. Breakfast was good. At the beginning staff was a bit unpolite, we arrive at 12pm and we wanted to ask for boat trips and recommendations about the area, no need to check in as it was early, but the man didn't want us there and we couldn't ask anything and make us leave until check in time after 2pm. But later we had a problem in the city and he was really attentive and helpful so everything's good.

Laiacroco, Spain

Pros: Incredibly close to the beach; it was really close to the Flutterby House hostel, which made it easy to get meals and book activities; and the facilities are really new and nice! Easy to find (just follow signs for the Flutterby House and it is directly next door). There is also parking inside the gate.

Anon, United States of America

Although we couldn't get an early check in they were able to store our bags for us in a locked room in the office which was really all we needed. Staff was very friendly and helped us arrange transportation for the morning of checkout

Trevor, United States of America

Great place for family's, with separate bedrooms, hear the roar of the ocean from your room. A pool and a jacuzzi also is available. What a gem!

Peter, United States of America

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

Good value for money, very close to the beach. Staff are very helpful and always available for help.

Cons: The first night we came back, we found three cockroaches in the room. I think it is just because there is not air conditioning so there are screens to keep air flowing through the apartment.

(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
The owner was very friendly and always available to help The location is great - very close to the beach and can even wander in without needing to oh the national park entrance fee Backpackers right next door does great food, can rent surf / boogie boards and organise any tours you want. It’s also a nice place to hang out Pool is pleasant with the tree canopy above Nice and quiet for sleeping (I read some of the below reviews about noise from the backpackers - this is nonsense as the backpackers has a policy of quiet after 10pm)

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.
