The room is very comfortable. The kitchen is simple, but well equipped. We enjoyed the pool, which was perfectly clean. The staff was super friendly and took a lot of time to explain everything to us and to give us advices. The hotel is located in walking distance to the beach, the supermarket, ATM and restaurants.

The concept is great, you have your little bungalow with everything you need and privacy and the communal area if you’re interested to meet new people and exchange your trip experiences.

The villa was stunning. The view alone is worth the long bumpy drive up the hill. The pool is beautiful and the house has everything that you need for a more than comfortable stay. We watched the sun set each night and we were gently wakened as it rose the next morning.

Everything was perfect. We had 2 amazing days in Uvita. Excellent contact with the host. The house is brand new, fully equipped. Excellent equipment in the kitchen. Barbecue area. A place on the terrace overlooking the forest, where you can eat peacefully. Comfortable and large bed. Excellent internet connection. Very clean and functional bathroom. The neighborhood is quiet, you can only hear birds (hummingbirds, parrots and toucans). Fantastic pool, hammock and plenty of space where you can relax. No problem to find restaurants and eat in the area. To the beach quite close about 10 minutes walk. We also used the laundry service (fast and inexpensive - we recommend). It was really sad to leave the place. For sure we will visit it again. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
