Cabinas Chirincoca #2
We enjoyed our stay at the Cabinas La Chirincocas. William was available and easy to communicate with. Pablo greeted us warmly and allowed for flexible check in. The room and amenities made for a comfortable stay, and it was very clean. The location was great for walking to the Bahia Ballena park with many excellent restaurants. Would stay again.

Luxury Walk to the Beach Dream
Beautiful place! So serene in the middle of a national park. We enjoyed taking a stroll down to the beach every day, looking for wildlife and ultimately relaxing. The house was perfectly clean and had everything we needed! The area had a lot to offer and we checked out some of places recommended to us which we enjoyed. This area has a lot to offer without feeling touristy.

Paradise , Walk to the beach Uvita
Este lugar es MUCHO más bonito de lo que permiten las fotos. Nuestro anfitrión fue muy acogedor y la comunicación fue fácil. La unidad está justo en medio de la selva, por lo que teníamos todo tipo de transeúntes silvestres interesantes y dignos de fotos. A pesar de estar en un condominio la propiedad parecía tener la cantidad correcta de aislamiento y privacidad. ¡¡¡¡Y la playa !!!!, casi solitaria, que llegas por un sendero que interiorizas tranquilidad para relajarte, fui con mi bebe de 4 meses y fue muy fácil el acceso del coche de bebe a la playa, encontraras mucha sombra debajo de los exuberantes árboles, que ayudaron a mantener fresca y un buen descanso de mi bebe. Hay muchos restaurantes en la zona, y si no quieres salir pasas por un supermercado y compras para preparar tus comidas, la cocina está completamente equipada, o puedes caminando por la playa a Villa Eleonor un restaurante local, llega con tiempo porque tarda un poco de tiempo en servir la comida, Volveremos pronto

ElChouchou - Grand appartement à Matapalo
Geweldig verblijf gehad. Vriendelijk ontvangen en leuk gekletst in de avond, we mochten nog gebruik maken van het zwembad, speciaal voor ons waren de watersproeiers in het zwembad aangezet. Heerlijk wakker geworden met tropische geluiden en fruit gekregen in de ochtend.

Pura Vida Boho Penthouse Dream
Wow what a Gem! This condo is amazing and so luxurious! The jungle walk to the private beach was my absolute favorite to do in the morning. The pool is dreamy. Everything was stunning and squeaky clean in the condo. The beds were out of this world comfortable and any question I had Danielle and Gregory were always just 1 message away. 10/10 would recommend!

Villa Sol at Alma Tierra Mar
Our stay at this property was absolutely incredible, with a breathtaking view! The room was clean, beautifully decorated, and well-equipped. The concierge was welcoming, and we appreciated for a hot shower and fresh towels. The pool area was stunning and well-maintained.However, there are a few areas that could be improved. It good to have coffee or tea for guest, and we were surprised to find there was no iron. Additionally, some house rules were unexpected, such as the prohibition on drones and no BBQs, despite them being shown in the photos. Although the balcony is shared with other guests, we were fortunate to have it mostly to ourselves. The bar chairs on the balcony were not very comfortable, and there was only one patio chair for the two of us. We also felt a bit uncomfortable with the presence of several cameras on the property, including one right of our apartment. Despite these minor issues, our overall experience was fantastic! We would definitely stay again!

King Suite w/ Ocean View
Ian's hotel is the perfect little spot in Dominical. Great location great pool great rooms. Great crowd. Ian himself is a cool guy and has fun plans to expand the place. Really looking forward to staying again sometime.

Suite Ballena: Cocina Completa y Piscina

Macaw Villa-Riverfront, Pool, Animals, 2km beach!
Chris and Kristen are such amazing hosts! They are kind, attentive and communicate very well. They have an amazing guide book that could answer almost every question you have about traveling here and if it doesn’t, they respond quickly if you text them. The property itself is so beautiful. Their garden of plants and trees is captivating and with the river flowing behind it all, it’s like you have your own little sanctuary. The pictures can’t do it justice. My room was clean and there’s a good bit of open space which I liked. My stay here was so magical and I’ll never forget it. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Uvita 3 Bdrm Home! Walk to beach and restaurants!
Pura Vida - Great host and location. Walkable to the beach and several restaurants. Calm oasis in the back yard, where we could see Tucans, howler monkeys and an array of birds! Host is very responsive and we also appreciated having air conditioning as well as a washer / dryer. Uvita is a great place to visit with a ton of fun activities, and having the small pool onsite was really nice to escape the hot midday sun. The full kitchen is also a bonus. Modern, easy - with good WiFi and a good host. The howler moneys did wake us up in the morning, but that was actually pretty cool alarm clock - although they sounded like a sick dog!!! We stayed at 3 places, all of which said you’d see moneys, never saw any and we saw them all from the comfort of the shaded porch here.

Casita Tropical, walking to the beach
This place was great. It was very well kept and spacious for us. We enjoyed the evenings outside by the pool. I it was very private and quiet. We loved the landscape.

Hector House
un lugar excelente para relajarse y descansar. playas cerca y lugares para caminar.

Harmony house (ocean & forest view, waterfall)
Nos vamos muy contentos, Carlos siempre estuvo al pendiente de nosotros, la casa es muy cómoda y bonita. Sin duda Carlos es un excelente anfitrión, nos llevó a la cascada y nos dio recomendaciones para ir a comer y actividades para realizar. No dudaría ni un segundo para regresar. Al estar ahí no puedes olvidar probar las hamburguesas de Sneaky monkey las cuales son exquisitas.

Modern and private along nature filled corridor
Nuestra visita fue todo un éxito, todo estuvo exelente, Sara, siempre muy atenta y disponible para asistir con todo, la casa estaba perfecto tal como se veía en la publicación. Exelente cocina muy bien equipada. 100% recomendado, la pasamos increíble, volveremos pronto. ¡Gracias por todo!

Beachfront Paradise w/ stunning view - Ballena
We’ve lived in Costa Rica and been to almost every corner of the country. Natalia’s property and guest house is one of a kind and incredibly special. Only thing to be aware of is that there is only A/C in the master bedroom and it gets quite humid (expected). Wonderful place to stay and be truly immersed in the south coast.

Uvita Beach House
Die Unterkunft war sauber, sehr geräumig, gut ausgestattet und ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge zum wunderschönen Uvita Strand. Außerdem war es sehr sicher.

Macaws Rooms & Pool
Big cabañas with AC, a pool and a shared kitchen which is great for communication and social contacts. Very nice hosts and family. Having a car is a plus due to the long road to the beach/supermarkt, but they rent bikes for a fair price, too.

Stay in Nature | Close to Marino Ballena
La estadia fue rapida pero el lugar estaba limpio y acorde a lo que se encuentra en el anuncio. La comunicación fue adecuada. Completamente recomendado.

Private Room in a Tropical Oasis | Pool & Parking
Por encima de todo fue excelente Nos sorprendió llegar y ver un lugar tan hermoso, ordenado, organizado y limpio, la piscina es bastante honda (Unos 1.70cm ya que mido 1.47 y no alcanzaba el fondo) Lo cual es bastante comodo para nadar a gusto y sumergirse un rato, la cocina está muy muy bien equipada⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Con el Victor no tuve que esperar ni 2 minutos a que me respondiera, siempre dió con el resultado de mis consultas, y Gabriela sin duda a alguna muy muy amable y atenta a nuestras necesidades, el lugar está igual que en las fotos, cerca de playas y el lugar es muy muy tranquilo para darse una caminata, ir a comer, playa e incluso cataratas(a 10 minutos en auto) Lo recomiendo bastante, en definitiva volveremos algún día⭐⭐⭐⭐

Work & Relax en Uvita | Piscina + WiFi de fibra
Todo muy bueno y es como en las fotos y además el ambiente es bonito ya que hay un choque de culturas y se pueden llevar bien

Penthouse Beachfront Condo-Safe-Sleeps 8
We loved our stay! This condo is perfectly located between the path to the pools and the path to the beach. The condo was very clean and well equipped and looks just like the pictures. Great communication with the management company. There was security and it felt very safe and quiet. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Macaws Rooms & Pool
Beautiful macaws in the tree right outside the hotel! The owners are a very nice family and live on-site for support if needed. The communal kitchen was actually kept very clean, and each room has a designated section in the fridge and a box for non-refrigerated foods. The communal space was a nice way to meet others in the hotel. It isn’t a very walkable area, but that’s Uvita in general, so I’d recommend having a car or renting a scooter in the town (the hotel has plenty of parking spots). I worked remotely while there and the wifi was good for video calls.

Penthouse: paronamical views of ocean and jungle
This place is truly a hidden gem! The photos honestly don’t do it justice—it’s even more beautiful in person. The home is spotless, beautifully designed, and in our opinion, has the best view in the entire complex. The host was incredibly responsive, and the video directions made getting there a breeze. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by howler monkeys and toucans—a magical welcome! We swam in the pool while overlooking the ocean, surrounded by lush nature and the sounds of the jungle. You just can’t beat that experience. Our kids were absolutely enchanted and didn’t want to leave. If you’re looking for something peaceful, scenic, and unforgettable, this is the place.

Family-Friendly Stay with Pool | Nature & Comfort
If we could give the Macaws 10 stars we would. This is the best AirBnB and one of the best accommodation experiences that we have ever had. Our entire vacation was great, largely because of the Macaws. Yes, the beds, location and rooms are excellent but what sets the Macaws out is the outdoor kitchen/dining area. For travellers who wished to hang out there to share stories, a meal, play a game, etc. it was the perfect setting. If you didn't want to, you could stay in your room like any other place and no one would bother you. The pool was also nice and refreshing. Finally, on a few occasions we saw big Macaws in the almond tree. Thanks Victor and Family!
