Usually the best things take work. Kura ( “ cure-a” ) is worth every ounce of effort. The 4x4 only drive up the mountain road is tough ( forget cars, they will pick you up and drive you to the top ) and you question the decision until you step out and meet someone like Emanuel. One of the most incredible sunset facing views in Costa Rica and a guy who certainly understands pura vida…..if not lives it! The pool, dining area converge with the bar ( oh Mercy…..she is one of the dining and bar staff with incredible smile and endless “ how can I help you “ attitude that exudes from each and every staff member ) as an area that makes this adult only love nest close to heaven. The architecture is sleek, clean and allows nature to be viewed at every angle. Impressive work from this Costa Rican owner and his bio- friendly partner. They do a wonderful job in this 8 room/villa facility. In room 4 we were next to some minor construction/expansion that seemed to be carefully managed so as not to disturb. Looking straight down at the “ whale tale” from your bedroom made hammer and nails disappear. The room was like every other aspect of the facilities well thought out details: clean, contemporary in style, up dated. Room staff was extremely efficient and silent in their services daily and nightly. Huge shower looking over the mountain top, down to the Pacific Ocean. Food? Incredible…..no need to take the drive into Uvita as this 10+ year veteran chef had a great variety, well executed and presented menu at each seating. Impressive for sure. Alonso is there to make you enjoy every sip, every bite, every bit….. Whether you go and just stay all day by the pool, or utilize the beautifully thought out Kura after a days hike, make the effort!
