Place was very nice and well located. 10 min walk to the Ballena National Park entrance. It was very warm and no fan strong enough to keep windows opened so we had to use air conditioning and leave curtains closed. So we did no feel like staying very long inside. No private exterior area to Relax but there was a great common area with deep pool ! I do recommand if the only thing you need is sleep and shower.

Great gem of a place in Uvita!

It was such a great experience! Thank you so much. For the value, customer service and location this is such a gem of a find for a place to stay that is minutes away from the Whale Tail beach. We stayed in a room that had two beds, a kitchen with fridge, microwave, pots and pans, plates and cups. Literally everything you would want it was available and made it very convenient. The pool is beautiful and was nice to sit there after a long day or before starting the day. I highly recommend this place if you are looking to stay in this area. It’s a gated area, so also very safe and has a lot for parking.

Great apartment. Looked very new, in secure compound. Nice looking pool , though we didn't get use it. We got there too early and the room wasn't ready, but they let us leave the car in their secure car park while we went to the beach waiting for the official check in.

The Hotel is new, modern and clean. It is just a short walk to Ballena National Park beach and a couple of shops and restaurants. It feels a little more like a sharp apartment than a cosy hotel but my two young girls loved splashing around in the small but pretty pool. I would definitely return.

Very nice property, safe, very clean and hygienic. Staff is very courteous and extremely vigilant big on security. Don't worry area is safe. Walkable to local restaurants and national park (Parque Ballena). Park is about 8 min walk to entrance and a 3 min. walk to nearest restaurant (Mediterranean food) also another excellent choice friendly staff.
