Love Nest in Uvita COLIBRI | 180° Ocean Views

"Love this property! This is our second time staying here and highly recommend. The property has amazing views, the rooms/villa are all new and well appointed with all you may need. I recommend a 4x4 as it is up the hill but the drive is well worth it. Communication is always amazing. "

"Great place to stay! Is very quiet and in the middle of the jungle but still 5 mins from the beach. Staff is really nice, will come back for sure!"

"Villas en el Bosque provided the perfect sanctuary for our family to unwind, relax, and fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Costa Rica. The villa offered both comfort and space for our family of four. The owners were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. But what truly made this experience unforgettable was the breathtaking view. Our villa overlooked the lush forest, with a stunning glimpse of the ocean in the distance. Every morning, we enjoyed the natural spectacle right from our patio,...

Our host Eric is a very friendly person and went out of his way for us and took us to a local waterfall that’s only know to the locals and we had an excellent day. Anything we needed, he was always there for us. Just an overall amazing stay! Thank you so much Eric "

Canavida Villas & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house in the middle of the rainforest. 5/5"

Ocean views breezes. 6-bedroom, 6-bath Spacious house with large patios.

8/10 Good

"We were actually the first guests to stay at this property, and everything exceeded our expectations. The house is very spacious, clean, and the ocean view is a beautiful bonus. It’s about a 10-minute drive to Uvita, making the location very convenient.To reach the house, you do need to go through a short rough road, around 150 meters. While it's not very long, a 4x4 vehicle is recommended. We had a Toyota Corolla and managed just fine, except during one rainy night when the car couldn’t make it up the hill, and we had to walk to the property. That was the only minor inconvenience.The outdoor area of the property is still under construction, and the hosts mentioned that they plan to build a pool soon, which will be a great addition. We’re definitely looking forward to coming back to this place in the future!"

Cristal Ballena Boutique Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The location of the property is beautiful, set back from the road and elevated for a great view of the Pacific. We particularly enjoyed the Happy Hour each day at 5:00 to enjoy the fabulous sunsets. The pool, the colorful plants, the toucans, tanagers, orapendulas and numerous other birds added so much to our visit. The staff was so accommodating and friendly. Our 5 days spent at Cristal Ballena were top notch!"
