Uvita Beach House: Your ideal hub for Exploring the Lush Southern Zone of CR

Uvita Beach House: Your ideal hub for Exploring the Lush Southern Zone of CR

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay here and would absolutely return. The casita is small, but beautifully maintained, very clean, and exactly what the two of us needed for a relaxing getaway. The location is fantastic — central to everything in Uvita and perfect for exploring beaches, restaurants, and local attractions. The Tex‑Mex restaurant next door was a delightful bonus and made grabbing dinner incredibly convenient.One of our favorite parts of the stay was enjoying coffee on the patio each morning while listening to the birds and watching the wildlife. It was peaceful, quiet, and such a lovely way to start the day.A few notes for future guests and the host:• The nearby beach is part of the national park, which means there’s an entrance fee. Some reviews made it sound a bit closer and more walkable than we personally found it to be.• The host did recommend several beautiful free beaches within a 10–15 minute drive, and they were perfect for catching sunsets.• Adding a lounge chair or two to the back patio would make the outdoor space even better — there wasn’t a comfortable spot to sit and read outside.Overall, this was a wonderful stay: clean, quiet, convenient, and a perfect base for exploring Uvita. Highly recommend."

"What an incredible place to stay! The property was beautiful and the house had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The host was wonderful and even met as at the front of the property to take us to our location. He answered all our questions and gave us a tour. The view was amazing and the pool was right there! I would highly recommend it to others and will definitely stay there again!"

Alborada Boutique Stay

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed 4 nights at this little gem. The staff gives away family atmosphere. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Mayra and I felt like she was family, super friendly and accommodating. The room was spotless, very cozy and pretty. The pool is very inviting and every room is facing it, as soon as you open the door it's right there, I would say the place is very Instagrammeable. Breakfast is delicious and they serve it hot for you. The location is very convenient, you can walk to a lot of restaurants, to tour operating companies, to the beach/national park. We had a rental car and it was nice to have a private secure parking spot for it, but the hotel has bikes that you can use for free and you can move around the area comfortably in them. You can book your boat tours directly with them as well. Also, we were talking to the owner and she let us know that they're working on building a spa, I'll be using it next time for sure as it will be ready soon and we're planning another trip in a short time hopefully!"

La Cusinga Lodge

La Cusinga Lodge

8/10 Good
"The view was amazing and staff were very friendly. I did not realize that the rooms did not have A/C, so things were hot the first night (reception closed at 8:00), but they were able to get me another fan the second night l, which made things better. Overall, we really enjoyed the stay which included access to a local swimming hole which was very refreshing. The restaurant was the most expensive meal we had in Costa Rica and to be honest, the food was not bad, but not good. Definitely not worth the money spent. We found food more reasonably priced and better tasting outside the resort. I would strongly recommend this site if you want great views, friendly staff, the feeling of being alone, and don’t mind no AC."
