A very comfortable, friendly and well organised setting offering the perfect place to unwind.
Pros: Melissa was very friendly and welcoming. Very helpful at organising trips. The cleaning and cooking staff were fantastic, food was lovely and rooms were cleaned every day. Rooms were very comfortable and clean. Use of bikes was a great bonus. Location near restaurants and the national park was perfect. Cafe next door great for coffee and lunch. Pool was lovely. It all added up to a very relaxing stay.
Cons: In an ideal world there would be a bigger garden area, though the nature nearby was lovely. There is development work happening to create a terrace area. Seating for breakfast could be expanded with some more cushions.

Amazing stay within walking distance of the tranquil and beautiful Playa Ballena.
Pros: Top quality, luxury family run hideaway in the heart of Uvita. We have enjoyed the hospitality and great care as well as the best breakfasts in Costa Rica. The whale watching trip was a highlight of our stay! Thank you Maida, Melissa and Jeremy!

Great location and well-maintained boutique hotel
Pros: Aborada Boutique Stay was a pleasant surprise. One of its main highlights is the location: it is very close to the entrances of Marino Ballena National Park, about a 10-minute walk away. There is also a small grocery store next door, as well as restaurants and tour agencies nearby, which makes it easy to get around without a car. The facilities are another strong point. The hotel is in excellent condition, with well-maintained paint and furniture. The room is spacious and comfortable, and the bathroom includes toiletries. There is also a pool, sun loungers, and bicycles available for guests. I was expecting a more budget-style hotel, but it is actually very charming and pleasant.
Cons: The only downside was that I had to leave before breakfast time, and the hotel did not offer any alternative to accommodate this need. As a result, I only managed to have breakfast about three hours later, at the shared shuttle stop on the way to my next destination.

A beautiful, comfortable stay with welcoming hosts in a perfect location near nature.
Pros: I had a lovely stay—the hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The igloos are really clean and beautiful, and both the bed and sofa were extremely comfortable. I had to try the pool, which was lovely, and I really enjoyed the breakfast choices in the morning. The location is very convenient and close to Marino Ballena National Park, and there’s also a small shop next door, which is super handy. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Pura Vida 🌿

Lovely stay with friendly staff, a clean comfortable room, great breakfasts, and a beachside location
Pros: I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was clean and very comfortable, and I loved having a fresh breakfast each day with options to choose from.
Cons: While the location is excellent for the beach and nearby national park, it’s worth noting that you’ll need transport to reach other restaurants and attractions. Just something to be aware of when planning your stay.
