Staff was friendly and helpful. Pool was welcoming and good music vibes all day. Room was super basic and I think our toilet or shower had a leak. We checked but all we could find is the water on the floor.

OK for one night.
The place is a bit run-down. Parking was off-street on dusty road with no security. There is an on-site parking lot but it is extremely small and fits about 4 cars but there were 6 crammed in upon our arrival. Hotel room is very bare bones, no hot water while we were there. If we had to stay more than the one night I'd look elsewhere but ok for the 1 given the price.

Really liked Tropical Beach - highly recommend!
Really great choice in Uvita. This was a huge unit with 2 bedrooms with Queen beds and a futon in the living area. Nice pool area that we didn't have time to use. Walking distance to Uvita Beach - which is a great beach! We arrived early for check-in and since our unit was ready, we were allowed to check-in early which is always really helpful. I would definitely stay here again if in the area. Also had air conditioning, which helped to dry out some of our clothes, which were damp from our time in Bahia Drake.

I arrived late, not realizing the hotel had a 10 PM deadline to check-in. When I arrived, the hotel manager was incredibly ride to me and told me that I had no reservation, which I did have. He tried to charge me for the stay, but he credit card machine was down. He showed me to a room anyways after I contested that it wasn't my fault the credit card machine was down. He eventually showed me to a room and then immediately disappeared. I quickly noticed that our ground floor room window was broken and did not lock. I was unable to sleep all evening because it was not secure. When I complained in the morning about the broken window, he insisted I broke the window and that I had to pay for my room then and how he was lucky he wasn't charging me for the window that I broke! I can not tell you how rude this man was. I want to request a refund for my stay.

The place was ok. The room smelled heavily of bug spray and our sheets were stained and possibly dirty. There isn’t enough parking space so we had to move our car so other people could get out. This was a pit stop for us which was ok I wouldn’t stay more than one night.
