What a great little hotel with a fab view and lovely pool area (lots of birds flying by). If you have a spare day on your trip, this would be a great place to relax by the pool. We only stayed one night, but could easily have spent 2 here. Great restaurant and staff were super helpful & friendly.

The big pros: 10-15 minute walk to local access of the beach, relatively comfortable beds (the mattresses appeared to be new, and had comfort tops), and the pool is set back into the trees, so it feels very immersed in the rainforest. The two staff members we interacted with were also very friendly, as was the very charming rescue dog in the office.

Elegant resort, quiet, immersed in nature with breath taking...
Elegant resort, quiet, immersed in nature with breath taking views of the sea from the most exquisite villas. The staff is quiet, kind, professional, the ambience is luxurious but not ostentatious. No loud music, no tvs, a temple of peace and relaxation for couples. The spa is a very upscale experience immersed in the jungle. The biggest surprise is the food: curated by a chef who truly understands simple, fresh taste for elegant meals matched with wonderful wines (and we are picky Italian foodies!). The 4x4 drive up to Kura was also so much fun and one of the highlights of the trip. Highly recommend, a world away from the obnoxious, loud, ostentatious luxurious all-inclusive resorts which have destroyed local cultures around the world.

Uvita is a lovely area to stay in, with beautiful beaches and plenty of waterfalls to visit in the area. We recommend taking a trip to visit the mangroves in Sierpes. Our kids loved the surfing lessons they had here.

Uvita is my favorite beach in Costa Rica.
Uvita is my favorite beach in Costa Rica. It's huge, you feel alone on the beach. The wildlife is beautiful. Tons of restaurants and places to walk. There are different beach sectors that you can chose from. It is a National Park, so you have to pay, but it is well worth it. One ticket gets you onto all the beaches. Staff in the Nationals Park is very helpful and there are patrols on the beach from the police and the National Park Guards.

Uvita was ungodly hot -- so hot that we really couldn't enjoy the sights. Even the ocean is hot. An airconditioned hotel room is a must! Even if there are many interesting birds and animals here, unless you have a high heat tolerance, you'll likely be miserable.

It wasn’t my favorite place in Costa Rica.
It wasn’t my favorite place in Costa Rica. Part of the problem was that it was so unbearably hot. I couldn’t go out and walk around comfortably. I didn’t go to the beach because of the heat and that would’ve been a big attraction also although my hotel was not far from town because of the heat again I found it unbearable to walk into town and walk around which I’d like to do when I’m traveling, so basically, my problems with AveUvita were weather related

Uvita is not the typical beach town, as it's very spread out...
Uvita is not the typical beach town, as it's very spread out and you need a car or a taxi to move around. In Uvita, you can visit the Marino Ballena National Park, which is possibly the most famous attraction in the area, where you can do whale-watching boat tours and other water sports tours like snorkeling and scuba diving.
We visited the Marino Ballena National Park and found its whale-shaped beach very suggestive and unique. However, we were also very underwhelmed by the poor housekeeping of the park. There was rubbish everywhere and this is disappointing and upsetting given that this is supposed to be a protected natural reserve and you also pay for the access at a substantial price per person, which should guarantee thorough housekeeping.
We went also to Playa Hermosa on our way to Uvita, but the amount of signs warning visitors of possible thieves, ruins a little bit of the vibe and it's not very relaxing having to watch your back all the time. Overall the beach is very nice and nothing happened to us. Since Playa Hermosa is also free to access, we recommend a visit, at least a stop by.
We really liked our stay here as it was just super nice, modern, clean and nicely decorated. The pool area is beautiful with lots of plants surrounding it. Our downstairs room had a little outside sitting area surrounded by palms for privacy. There are 2 nice dogs which would give us company. It was a very relaxing stay. There are a couple of restaurants close by but it's easier to drive to the main road or the beach side of Uvita. The area of the hotel seems to mainly be new houses and is still quite small but therefore quiet.
We loved Sara's place! The apartment was clean and the Aircon worked well! The best thing was the garden and pool were amazing to relax in. The pool was really clean and we really enjoyed swimming in it as the weather is very hot in Uvita. Sara and her husband were so lovely and gave us a lift a couple of times including to the bus stop when we left with our bags which would have been a very sweaty walk! The area was great, a short distance to restaurants and the whale tour agencies and only 5 minutes to the beautiful beach.
Keith and Joe have created a tranquil paradise in the hills above Uvita. Already before you arrive they open conversation to check for any special needs or interest you might have during your stay. Their level of hospitality and attention for details in and around the Casitas create a superb experience at another level! I loved every moment of my stay! Joe's freshly cooked breakfast at the pool can compete with the best.
Besides that the hosts are super friendly which made me feel at home.
Highly recommended!
This is a great hotel. Rooms are large and well appointed. The pool is exceptional (very large with many special features). The location is close to a number of National Park Beaches. Restaurant was very good for the few meals we ate there. My favorite feature for this hotel was the exceptional Nature Trail they carved into the jungle. The trail is about a mile long and is very well done. Gives you a close up look at the jungle with minimal effort.
This place was so nice that we decided to come back a second time. :) Despite the rooms having an open ceiling, we slept so well and it was quiet. Everyone seemed to respect each others privacies. The shared bathroom facilities were clean and never overoccupied. Breakfast was good as well. The shared kitchen is so well equipped. Absolutely stop by Cascada Verde Hostel in Uvita. Best accommodation we had in CR.
This was the best hotel we have ever stayed in. A spectacular view, delicious breakfast (e.g. self-made quiche, banana bread,...) and super kind hosts. Dear Keith and Joe, thank you so much for this amazing experience including all the tips and tricks for dinner, attractions and transportation. We could not have wished for a better start for our stay in Costa Rica. We highly recommend this place 😊
Fridge and coffee machine in the room and the shared kitchen was clean and well equipped with everything you need! The pool was lovely and the Italian restaurant was some of the best Italian I have ever eaten! Quick walk to the beach. Sylvia was very kind and responsive and gave us many great suggestions of things to do in the area! Would absolutely stay here again!
the room was lovely, had everything we needed including a balcony with the best view. sounds of nature around you, was great. the best part was the hosts and the food! it is owned and operated by an Italian couple, who cook THE BEST food. we had the greatest meals in Costa Rica at this hotel, even the breakfast was incredible. AMAZING and highly recommend!!!
Everything! Room was very clean and AC worked great, the view from the room was amazing. The lounge and pool were the best. The service of the staff was amazing, especially the owner Pablo. He was very kind and helpful with amazing Omotenashi mind. We love everything about this place and staying at La Uvita Perdida was one of the highlights of our trip.
A beautiful place with top hosts! I had a wonderful large room surrounded by the beautiful garden. very clean, in walking distance to the national park, the hosts help with organizing activities. Best of all is the Food! Authentic Italian dinner and the most tasty breakfasts I had in all of Costa Rica! This is the place to stay in Uvita.
Best “room” I’ve ever rented. Breath taking views, private hot tub with view, large bathtub and beautiful open shower area with view. Bed is centered in the middle of the room and you wake up to a panoramic ocean view. Staff is attentive, will go above and beyond to assist in making your stay the best it can be.
Amazing place! Uvita and this hostel were definitely the highlight of my trip to Costa Rica. Hostel is nice and clean and just a 2 min walk from the beach. The owner, Nck, is the best! Super nice and extremely helpful. I highly recommend both Uvita and this place.
Great hotel! We had the apartment with 2 bedrooms and it was spacious! Rooms were nicely decorated, modern and clean. The pool is also a great addition. WiFi worked great. Great location not far from Uvita beach.
Beautiful landscape and it was very clean but very, very basic. Great restaurant on premises. Had one of the best meals I'd ever eaten and great staff. Had a very nice and very clean pool.
It has been by far the best place we have stayed in Costa Rica! The place is immaculate! The apartment was fully stocked . We wish we would have found this hidden gem sooner. 💎
Tom and his son were the best hosts and welcomed us to their property. Very laidback and entertaining. It is in a great position just a couple of hundred metres from the beach.
The hotel was recently opened, looks great, has good internet connection, comfy room. The entrance to Uvita beach is around 10mins walking (please remember the beach is paid).
Very charming staff, beautiful rooms and excellent amenities. The views from the room or the lobby are stunning. This hotel make us felt in love with Uvita.
