Dolce Uvita

Really Lovely place but expensive to eat.

Pros: The owner was so friendly and helpful. The hotel is lovely and pool was brilliant for kids. Also the communal kitchen was great to cook in one night. We loved our stay there but would either self cook or eat out as was expensive to eat there.

Cons: We had dinner one night and felt it was extremely expensive for what we had. Although it was lovely it was a shock when got the bill working out at £30 per head for a bowl of pasta each and ice cream for pudding. We had a bottle of wine which we knew might be pricey but even so it seemed alot for what we had.

A friendly, relaxing and comfortable place to stay in Uvita with an excellent chef

Pros: Sylvia our hostess was excellent, friendly helpful and generous. Her husband as the chef was highly skilled and produced some amazing Italian food, often cooking to request, which can be accompanied with some excellent Italian wines. Dolce Uvita is a relaxing oasis, created by the wonderful gardens which are alive with birds and butterflies. The pool area is great with areas of shade created by its beautiful garden surround. An outdoor kitchen was available to self cater. Well positioned for the local beaches

Cons: the only thing we would mention would be that our mattress did need replacing. The other thing I would mention is that the local beaches are within the Marine National Park and there is a small daily fee to enter them.

Amazing surprise

Pros: The place is absolutely beautiful! The garden is stunning and the pool is larger than we gathered from the pictures. The food in the Italian restaurant is out of this world and the owners are very friendly, highly recommend!

Great spot

Pros: Great place, super helpful staff, very nice pool and outdoors area

Cons: Mattresses are a bit stiff, but it's a matter of taste

Dolce Uvita, comfort and great food!

Pros: The owners of this charming establishment truly went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our stay was nothing short of perfect.

Sweet spot if youre not fussy about mattress.

Pros: Lovely private spot with sweet gardens, hammocks, pool in the garden. Silvia was very helpful and considerate. Liked the associated Tico food restaurant, didn't try the Italian. Can easily walk to Marina Ballena NP and several restaurants.

Cons: Mattresses and pillows were at the end of their lives in both rooms we were in (4 beds total).

Fantastic mini resort run by a great couple.

Pros: Dolce Uvita is great location, and definitely likes a small, personal resort. The gardens are pristine, the pool clean and offers two great restaurants. The 'soda' is affordable and offers great food, in addition to various games and a table football, while the Italian restaurant run by the couple running the hotel offers a fully authentic (and fantastic) Italian dining experience. Uvita itself is a great location. I have to thank them once again for the effort they made for my son's 9th birthday, which I'm sure is a memory that will stay with him forever.

Cons: As with a lot of hotels in Costa Rica the owners have a dog on the premises that will sometimes bark. We have no complaints about this (was true for more then half our stays) but I expect some guests would like to know this in advance.

Pros: Wonderful place with lovely and helpfull hosts. Very peaceful.

A lovely place to stay

Pros: This was our favorite stay so far in Costa Rica. Great hospitality, Sylvia was very helpful and Ferdinando a great chef. It’s a good location, close to the beach and there is a pool to relax.

Best stay in Uvita!

Pros: Great hosts who are willing to help you out with everything! Great location, great food at their own Italian restaurant. Lovely swimming pool in a lush green garden. We felt at home! THANK YOU

Cons: We weren't a big fan of the foam mattress, but that is completely personal.
