Property 10/10. Staff 10/10. Ocean Views 10/10 the hospitality of GPV staff was absolutely amazing. Ran into some issues with the airlines which caused a delay with check in, not a problem GPV greeted us with a heartwarming welcome even late into the night! Rooms, spectacular! Villa 6 🔥❤️ so we HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
This place exceeded my expectations which is tough. It was with magnificent views, the villas, the food and the service could not be better. So zen and the staff Marlon A, Marlon B and Pablo were lovely. It is a hidden a gem.
Our stay here was truly exceptional. The views of Costa Rica were absolutely breathtaking, easily one of the most beautiful settings we’ve experienced.
The staff made the experience even more memorable. Pablo, who assisted us at check-in, was incredibly welcoming and attentive, and the entire team was consistently warm and accommodating throughout our stay. Because it’s a smaller, private resort, you really have the chance to connect with the staff, which made everything feel personal and special.
It was genuinely hard to leave. Had we known just how amazing the experience would be, we would have extended our stay without hesitation. The food was outstanding as well, every meal exceeded expectations.
Thank you for such a wonderful and unforgettable stay.
Our stay was absolutely incredible. The property has breathtaking views of both the ocean and the mountains — truly the kind you can’t stop staring at. The restaurant had great food options and amazing cocktails, and everyone we met was so friendly and welcoming.
The staff was beyond accommodating and helped us book all of our excursions with ease. Housekeeping deserves a special shout-out… they were SO quick and efficient it felt like ninjas snuck in and made everything spotless.
Huge thank you to Pablo, Marlon, Marlon 2.0, and Leo for taking such great care of us throughout our entire stay. The villas were extremely clean, private, and quiet — perfect for a honeymoon. We couldn’t recommend this place more!
The place was an absolute dream stunning views in every direction!! Highly recommend it for couples my wife me I loved every minute of it! Staff and restaurant were top notch all around excellent 10 stars!!
The people that work at this property are amazing and the rooms were fantastic. The views were first class. The food was delicious and we just absolutely loved our stay there.
One of the nicest places I’ve stayed in Central America. Beautiful villas on the side of the mountain with a beautiful view of the whale tail. Service and food were top notch.
Located in the heart of the mountain, access only by 4x4, with stunning views from the restaurant and main pool as well as from the villa.
Food at the restaurant is very good and the customer service is top notch.
My fiancé and I enjoyed a relaxing week at this hotel. It's very close to town and they have great recommendations for activities around the area or a little outside the town of Uvita. The staff was absolutely fantastic! Paolo went out of his way to make our experience memorable and made us feel right at home. Definitely staying here on our next visit!
The villas are fantastic and staff was so nice and offered great service. The view of birds and other wildlife was nice. One of the staff took us where we needed to go a stayed right with us which was great since the villas are rather remote. They store modern with private pools in each. I will definitely go back.
Amazing views!!! The staff was so helpful and nice. It was a little scary navigating up to the villa but manageable. Definitely rent a 4x4 vehicle. If you are looking for a peaceful vacation, this is the place for you. Pura vida!
This was an amazing experience. The staff were responsive, professional, and friendly. The food was delicious and the included breakfast was exceptional. We have a perfect view of whale tale beach both from the common area and our private balcony. I highly recommend!
I loved everything from the hospitality to the food.
They made us feel like we were the only ones there.
It was beyond my expectations. Super chill.
Most definitely returning and spreading the word.
We had total privacy, a wonderful plunge pool and a view across the trees and valley to the Pacific, sunsets and Uvitas whale's tail, a huge sand bar that appears and disappears with the tide. The food was very good, but not excellent. It is luxurious and everyone tries really, really hard to please guests. Toucans and other birds stopped by our patio, 10 feet away. We enjoyed our stay very much.
OMG the pictures don’t do it justice! Sooooo beautiful. The staff is SO accommodating. Very clean but remember you are in the middle of the jungle so there are bugs and insects. The food is delicious. You will absolutely need a 4x4 to get there. No complaints. Would def stay again
If I could give more stars, I would! I spent two weeks in Costa Rica & I chose to spend my second week at Golden Pineap & wow, this property is truly magical. I came here to rest, breathe and reconnect with myself after an intense week of deep inner work. As a business owner and a single mother of three, I live in a constant “go, go, go” lifestyle and this was the first time in a long time that I allowed myself to simply be.
Golden Pineap was the perfect place for that.
The views here are unbelievable; mountains, ocean, jungle, clouds rolling in, sunsets that look like paintings. Normally on vacation I feel like I need to explore and do a million things, but here I didn’t have to go anywhere. I could relax in my villa and feel completely content. The private pool, the outdoor bathtub, the rainfall shower, the peaceful design, everything felt intentional and soothing. It was exactly what my mind, body, and soul needed.
And the staff; what can I even say? Every single person I encountered had the kindest energy and the warmest heart. Pablo, Mario, Leo; each of them went above and beyond, but Leo truly went the extra mile in every way. I felt supported, cared for, and safe, even traveling solo. If you’re considering a massage, please book with Liliana, her hands are absolutely magical. This was the perfect place to end my CR journey. It gave me rest, clarity, and a deep sense of peace that I haven’t felt in years. And the icing on the cake? Finding out this is a woman-owned!
