The maneger made us feel at home from we came till we left. We stayed for 4 nights ( 1 extra) He was very helpfull and friendly. The rooms were sporless, clean towels every day, extra towel for swimming-pool and most important, they emptied the bin every day. If you are looking for a hotel where you are not just another guest, but truly seen and appreciated – then Alborada Boutique Stay is the place to be. Thank you so much for a memorable stay.

The place is easy to reach since it's near a bigger road. The dorms have AC and the WiFi seemed stable (14Mbps down). Staff is friendly and the whole building is super awesome. The "upper deck" is basically a big lounge where you can hang out or play a game. When I arrived I wished I had booked more nights. The bed and little pods were comfortable. Even though I booked as one person I got a 2 person bed. The kitchen has everything you need and the supermarket is across the road. The rooms are kept clean and the bed/pod has a recess into the wall where to light and power socket are. The art on the walls and the little signs really brings it all together. If you are looking to stay in Uvita I highly recommend.

The location of the villa (we had the “kolibri lovenest”) was amazing! Great views over the sea and Forrest. Personal service was excellent and beyond our expectations.

Beautiful hotel a little aside from Uvitas main street. There is a nice French bakery right next to it and you can get pretty fast to the beach which is part of the national park. The host did a marvelous job so we would have a good stay and we enjoyed the spots he recommended us. Many thanks for the great time and all the best.
