“just perfect...”
Breakfast isn't on site which is a pitty, you can walk or drive to the 2 places they offer for breakfast (you get a voucher from the hotel to use there and there are 3 meals you can choose from)

“Great value for money and excellent service with the most friendly and warm receptionist.”
The service is THE best. The most warm and friendly receptionist, Kattia, ever. She helped us to book a tour in advance, organised our car take over from the rental company and also connected us with a great taxi driver. She did these out of kindness because it was not part of her job. She is the best! The room is very good for friends (two big comfortable beds).

“Smart and clean hotel in excellent location.”
Very friendly staff and good communication prior to our arrival via WhatsApp - we were travelling by bus and weren't sure of our arrival time. Lovely spacious room with 2 comfortable beds. Pool right outside room. Very close to a great restaurant, La Fogata, and others nearby too. And about 450 m from the bus station. Walking distance to the national park and whale's tail formation ( but best to go at low tide to fully appreciate it!)

“Clean and comfy stay in Uvita”
Nicely presented, clean and super comfortable beds and pillows. The pool is great for a cooling dip and with some funky lights in the evening. Very friendly and helpful staff.

“Great location, comfortable beds, clean and really nice.”
The place is very nice, clean with comfortable beds. The location was perfect for our Isla del Caño snorkeling tour. We enjoyed the terrace and listening to the many birds in the area.
