Scott was a great host. Helped plan and suggest everything. Uvita isn't a crazy tourist area like Jaco or areas further north. Nice balance between tons of stuff to do (diving, hiking, adventure stuff, etc.) And just chilling out. Food in the area is awesome but pricey (worth it). Some of the Most beautiful sunsets I have seen anywhere.

The property was beautiful. Attention to detail was evident everywhere you looked. It was exceptionally clean. Coffee was good (we requested stronger coffee and it was supplied the next day!) breakfast was delicious all three days and such a nice addition to the stay. Special thanks to the property manager who was very professional. We even had the pleasure of birdwatching a couple of yellow-throated toucans! Also, it is well located, close to many restaurants, beaches and national parks. It was our first time there but will certainly not be our last!

Everything was perfect, our host was very nice and available for every questions we had. The pool and the terrace have beautiful view to the sea and you can observe lot of birds from those places. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel is very well located, close to Uvita and Park Marino Ballena.
