We had a lodge with great ocean view. 10 out of 10! Beds were comfy, the bathroom huge, the view extraordinary. Breakfast with very nice options and the lodge offering options for those needing to leave early (very early = packed breakfast; early = scrambled eggs; normal = choice of local breakfast, different egg options, ...). Breakfast / restaurant place also with amazing views. Also very nice the official pool, an additional private nature pool with a small waterfall, and the possibility to hike to a 'kind of private' beach (accessible via the lodge's property but officially part of the nature parc).

A bit of pre-arrival confusion if breakfast was included in the booking.com rate. Quick reply and positive response from the lodge - much appreciated. Location a bit out of town and yet not really in the midth of nature since trucks driving on the main road can still well be heard.

We loved our cabin in the jungle!! the cabins are set at a good distance from each other to preserve privacy and the balcony with view to the ocean, trees, flowers and birds was just fantastic. The room facilities are similar to "glamping" style, so basic, but in a very comfortable and charming way. Although some may miss air conditioning (there's fans in the room), I actually loved that the windows have only shutters and a net to protect from insects: you hear all kinds of animals (with the sound of the waves as background) all night (and day) long! the hiking to the very secluded beach is not an easy one (especially with little kids or if you have problems walking), but it's totally worth it. Some comments complain about the stairs. Keep in mind the hotel is set in a mountain and the paths among rooms and main building and other facilities are at different heights naturally. It's part of the charm of the place and they help you with carrying your luggage (or anything else if you need it). The breakfast and meals (we had lunch and dinner there all days) was delicious. A lot of options, plenty of fresh fruit and veggies/fish plus classics like sandwiches, but everything really good and in very abundant portions (I definitely recommend sharing plates if you're not a big eater!). The common space is also lovely, to enjoy sunset and a drink, they welcomed us with a fruit cocktail and helped us with a lot of information about the area and beyond. We had a few little problems in our cabin (a light malfucntion, little shower presure), but they were fast to fix it as soon as we reported it. The yoga area is stunning... like someone in other comments said, too bad there's no instructor available, even the not experienced yoggi's would want to join with the breathtaking setting. we loved the pool as well, quiet and refreshing (water in the sea was really too hot!!), with enough lounge chairs and shade to recover from the steep walks.

nothing really, I loved the place, although the bar and restaurant prices -despite good quality- were quite high. Perhaps they could put a bit more attention to check and maintain the rooms before arrival, to avoid having to report little things like we did, but for the rest, amazing place.

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.

The ocean view from our suite as well as from the main building was breathtaking. The entire property is built from beautiful wood and carefully placed amidst the vibrant natural landscape full of birds and beautiful plants. The walking trails and the direct access to a pristine beach located within the nearby Ballena national park provide great opportunities to relax.

The restaurant could put a little more emphasis on local food

Beautiful location with a great view of the whale's tail in the national park nearby. The onsite restaurant was very good, and our bungalow had a cute garden with many birds throughout the day. It also has several little trails of its own so you could easily spend a few days just staying on the property.

There is no air conditioning, but there are many fans and a good cross breeze from the ocean at night.

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.

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.
