Fantastic view, Fantastic room. Fantastic food. Fantastic pool.
The only drawback was the distance to the beach. Foreigners are charged $6 to access the closest one which takes 25 minutes to walk. The next closest is 8km.
Bottom line is: I'd gladly stay here again.

Overall a great place in beautiful surroundings. From the restaurant you can sit and enjoy the birds in the area. The staff is very friendly and helpful. And the pool area is nice. The restaurant serves very nice food and is reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend this place.

Hôtel dans les hauteurs d’Uvita inséré dans la nature où on peu donc tôt le matin ou le soir y observer beaucoup d’oiseaux ( toucans, perroquets….etc ) . Très très beaux jardins avec une grande piscine . La restauration et le petit déjeuné sont en revanche très moyens et les chambres ont besoins d’un petit coup de jeune et le tout a des tarifs très élevés . Mieux vaut descendre juste en bas manger au bistro balzan ou la les prix sont normaux et la qualité au rendez vous .

Die Anlage scheint sehr gepflegt und ist gut organisiert.Personell wie auch strukturell.Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Das Personal war sehr aufmerksam und extrem freundlich. Grosses Lob an das Küchenteam!Das Essen am Abend war immer super lecker!Das Frühstücksbuffet könnte abwechslungsreicher sein,war aber ok. Allen in allem war das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis gerechtfertigt. Sonnenuntergänge auf der Terasse unschlagbar! Wir würden wieder kommen!

We visited as part of a small group tour and would have loved to have stayed longer. The room was large well equipped with a huge balcony. The pool area and the pool were wonderful and clean and well maintained. The food was varied and delicious and all the staff were friendly, attentive and helpful. It lived up to its 5 * rating without being unfriendly or intimidating . Highly recommended.

It is a boutique hotel set in beautiful gardens with a fabulous pool and views of the Pacific. The sunset from the hotel was one of the best we have seen across the world! The food was delicious and the bartenders and wait staff were amazing and always very attentive, offering personalised service. Only thing, the bathrooms were small and a bit dated . The restaurant ‘BALLENA BISTRO’ 2 minutes walk from property was absolutely phenomenal offering delicious, fresh, flavoursome dishes with plenty of vegetarian/vegan options. Overall the hotel views were stunning, the food great , and the staff were incredibly welcoming. Definitely recommend!
