Spectacular view of the pacific ocean from our hut. Hummingbirds right outside our door. No glass in the windows, only mosquito net plus wooden blinds made it feel like camping in the djungle but with the comfort and safety of a house. The pool was saltwater and fantastic. Food was good and personell was very friendly. There were short trail loops that were maintained and nice. Playa Arco was like a paradise in miniature. We were almost alone there. (10 people in total on a 500 m beach, 18 december). Uvita is a nice village nearby. Car is necessary. Driving in Costa Rica isn’t for beginners, but not too bad either.
No fridge in the hut meant you couldnt have any cold drinks or snacks. Sound travelled VERY easy from the one half of the hut to the other (two ”apartments” per hut)

Great location just outside Uvita centre . Huge rooms . Lovely ocean view . Had a pool and a small “poza” for a quick dip. Hike trails available within the compound. Some wildlife around as well - we saw a sloth,some colourful birds, heard the howling monkeys. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.
No a/c in the room- it was sooo hot and humid. There were no bins in the room except the one in the toilet . No table although room was huge . Breakfast was a bit strange as we had to order from the menu but anything that was not on the fixed list had to be paid extra ( got charged $2.44 for a spoonful of yogurt)

Amazing property with security and a friendly staff. We had welcome drinks upon arrival and a personal tour of the property to our rooms, which were nicely secluded from other rooms. It felt incredibly private but still accessible to the property’s reception and restaurant. We enjoyed cocktails in the reception lodge while the sunset, a lovely dinner in the restaurant, and an early morning hike to the beach. The staff were extra accommodating and let us leave 3 bags for storage so we didn’t need to carry them to Sierpe/Drake Bay for our Corcovado adventure. The lodge feels quintessential eco-tourism that Costa Rica is known for. This is an absolute gem!

Absolutely stunning property that overlooks the ocean and has well maintained trails. The service was five star and the staff were incredibly welcoming. We only stayed one night en route from La Fortuna to Sierpe. I wish we could’ve extended our stay because it was one of our favorite stops on the trip. There’s so much to do, even with a 6 year old. Breakfast and dinner at their restaurant was also totally solid, but it’s just a short drive into Uvita if you want to go off site. I would 100% stay there again.

Absolutely amazing place! It is like paradise, located in a very quiet area in Uvita. The staff is super friendly, from the reception, to the restaurant. Don’t miss watching the sunset from their amazing terrace. Food is great at the restaurant and the value for it is one of the best we experienced in Costa Rica. The rooms are gorgeous and spacious, views are simply incredible. We woke up with the howling monkeys, which in itself is an experience. The pool area is also great, and the best part was the hike down to the secret Arco beach. Wow! Highly recommended.
I think the restaurant could stay open a bit longer, as they close at 8pm since it is in a very quiet area. Otherwise, it is not possible not to like something.

Room was nice and bed comfy. Breakfast and dinner really good. Some nice trails around the property including one down to the beach (about 15-20 minutes). Staff very friendly. Couldn't hear the people in the adjoining room at all. Terrace looking at the view really good and saw some birds and animals.
Other than around the property it is not possible to walk anywhere. Bathroom privacy could be better. Room quite small with two beds.

Loved the fantastic location on the edge of the national park and the trails down to the beach and waterfall. The staff were unfailingly friendly and relaxed. The gardens were beautiful, attracting many birds. The restaurant was also the best we ate in on our Costa Rica trip. Our bungalow was spacious and airy with a lovely balcony overlooking the sea.
Absolutely nothing. Loved our stay here.

La Cusinga is an entire experience. Paths take you through tropical jungle (complete with humidity) to a secluded beach, a waterfall falling into a cooling pool, a swimming pool, a restaurant and a vast view of the Pacific from a lookout terrace. Ocean as well as garden and jungle views from your room porch. Staff are professional, cocktails and food are delicious. We felt very safe and cared for here. Security is high, including regarding parking areas.
Service at the lookout is slow. Rooms are sweltering on humid days (fans but no aircon).

Location stunning. Jungle walks on site! Room was comfortable. Breakfast extensive. Swimming pool very clean.
Nothing really, I would suggest a small fridge in room for keeping water cold. A/C in bedroom if possible. Or silent fans. Please get a Yoga instructor! Best yoga studio in world! So sad no instructor!! 🌴👍

The view is amazing and the trails on the property are very nice. There is not much hiking in the Uvita area so it was nice to have some trails to explore. Saw several sloths, a toucan and monkeys.
There is no air conditioning so the room can be very warm at times. We also shared our room with several gecko/lizards which I guess is par for the course if you stay in the jungle.
