Perfect location. Near everything, Uvita has to offer in terms of nature, beaches, and nightlife. There's even a giant supermarket as soon as you connect to the main road. The host, Gavy, was extremely helpful and kind. She seemed amazing with all the guests, but if I go on how she aided us, she was wonderful.

The hosts were super friendly and always had great tips on things to do. The room was very nicely furnished and clean. The terrace and the restaurant were beautifully decorated for Christmas. We felt very comfortable here and would highly recommend the hotel for a stay in Uvita. Thank you so much for that!

Juan and Ana are exceptional hosts and made this a very special place to stay. The lodge is a beautiful design with a forest backdrop, full of wildlife. It was an excellent place to spend time and we only wish we could have stayed longer. Every day brings a new and delicious breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble.
