“Overpriced and Run Down”
Very little. Pool was ok. Property is run down. In need of a considerable amount of work and at half the price I paid would still be too expensive.

“Advert unclear, property basic but pleasant.”
Location was great for free beach access (ten mins walk down a track) and for getting into Uvita (no 4x4 required). The pool area was nice, you could relax and watch the monkeys in the trees! Suri and her sisters were friendly and helpful hosts including kindly doing some washing for us. The AC worked well.

“Wonderful jungle retreat with beach access and proximity to town!”
Great property - complete with a stream running through, access the jungle and the beach a short distance away. Amazing pool and very helpful team. David was great and super responsive and I would love to stay there again.

A great place to stay! The jungle villas are a perfect place to stay and relax. Beach is in walking distance and the salt water pool is open all day. Very kind owner David helps and supports you in every aspect of your stay! P.S.: Ask for the little scooter to explore the waterfalls and nice beaches up north of Uvita.

The owner David and the staff were amazing! They made us feel right at home, the food was delicious, and they truly care about the people at Cool Waters, so much so that they have a saltwater pool instead of chlorine. We came for our honey moon and my husband usually is not a nature person but the way the villas and cabin was in the jungle, he actually loved it as well! We saw cool wildlife and met amazing people all throughout our stay. We can't wait to come back!

The hotel is well located, near the road, but we don’t really hear it. It’s in the forest and it’s really nice to just take a walk around. Our arrival was easy and fast. David was really nice !

Excellent location on the edge of Uvita yet also on the edge of the jungle. Easy walk to beautiful National Park beach with no access control. David is a friendly and helpful host. Very cheap tents but comfortable with handbasin and platform and shade. Evening meals provided to avoid walk into town. Excellent swimming pool. Uvita National Park is a peaceful alternative to over - touristed Manuel Antonio and Cool Waters is an excellent base. Recommended.

“Best place in Uvita !”
We came for 2 nights in tent. We finally stayed 4 nights. I could just stop by saying that. This place is just amazing: I cannot tell about the rooms (looks like there is rooms close to the pool and small houses for families), but concerning the tents it’s just the most beautiful stay we had in Costa Rica. The tents are like 5 m away from the river, into the forest, very quiet and peaceful. You can of course swim into the river if you are not too cold and you have all the wild animals around you such as monkeys and birds. The owner, David, gave us everything to cook with and mattress. He’s very helpful and always trying to find solutions. You have access to sanitary (not luxurious but efficient enough) and you have also access to the pool. Last but not least you are close to a maxi pali (10/15 mins away by foot) and to the Uvita beach (which is free, same distance than Pali). Just Better than all the accommodations we saw in Uvita and super cheap !

“Facilities are great, well intended staff, a lot to learn still.”
This place is ran by a really well intended father trying to start a business for his 3 daughters to have a good future. He is very kind while also still learning the complexities that go along with managing a facility of this magnitude. They are new to this and I believe they will figure out how to best manage guests, noise, sharing facilities, and boundaries. The location is prime, the facilities are great, and the rooms are new and nicely done.
