Hotels with Jacuzzi in Room in Uvita

This was our first trip to Costa Rica and coming from NYC we were looking for some solitude, adventure, and authenticity. Rancho Pacifico was all that and more. They truly exceeded our expectations. Set high up on a mountain in the middle of a rainforest with spectacular views of the jungle and Pacific. I could sit and look for hours, listening to the birds singing. Accommodations were open yet private, comfortable, clean and eco friendly. The gracious owners Marlo & Mark, who were there during our visit, have created a classy, modern yet comfortable and relaxing ambience that allows guests to experience the true beauty of the place. The staff; Salome, Hannah, Andrey, Alex and Vianney, were attentive, helpful and consistently went out of their way to ensure that we were taken care of. Thank you all for a wonderful time. Pura vida

We stayed at Rancho Pacifico for 4 days to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and it was absolutely perfect. This was our first experience at a small boutique hotel and it exceeded our expectations! Sharon and Arbid closely communicated with us well before our trip to make sure everything was set before we arrived. The staff, especially Jason and Andrey, were so attentive. Vianney was an amazing bartender. Every single meal we had was delicious and beautifully presented. The owners, Greg and Jennie, personally introduced themselves, and made us feel so welcome. We had booked our own tours separately. We did a Corcovado day trip through Bahia Adventures that left right from Uvita, saw amazing wildlife and scenery, and also waterfall rappelling through Costa Canyon. In both cases, the staff at Rancho anticipated our needs and pre-ordered breakfast and lunch so we would still be fed despite missing their set breakfast and lunch times. This extra step was incredibly considerate and very much appreciated. The drive up the mountain is no joke. A 4x4 is a must, but the view and hospitality is so worth it once you're at the top. We would absolutely come back to Rancho and will be recommending it to our friends and family.

If you are looking for breathtaking jungle mountain views with the ocean shimmering in the distance while you're being pampered in the lap of luxury, then this is your place. My husband and I spent 10 days here on our long overdue honeymoon (after 15 years of marriage), and we loved every minute. The staff are incredibly friendly, professional, and beyond accommodating. Our villa was absolutely beautiful, while still modern, and was cleaned twice a day while we were out on adventures or at dinner. Our villa's private plunge pool and wooden deck were perfect for just soaking in the incredibly scenery, watching Toucans in the trees, and listening to the howler monkeys. The food is delicious, and we were spoiled every meal! There is SO much do in the surrounding area, which isn't super touristy. The resort works with the local guides to create your itinerary for your stay, and are always ready to organize transportation, or hand you towels or water on your way off to your next adventure. Please just do it! You will only regret not being able to stay longer.

From the moment you arrive through the gate of Rancho Pacifico you feel at peace. The calm, serine environment makes you feel at ease. We were greeted as soon as we stepped out of the 4x4 and offered a fresh juice. We stayed at treehouse Puma and we couldn’t see another structure from our balcony. The View from the Treehouse was 10 out of 10 and all the different birds that landed right in our trees were amazing. When in the main area, Andrey, Jason and all the other staff make you feel welcome and like this is your private oasis. The drinks and service were top notch from Jason and Andrey, whether lounging in the hot tub and chilling at the Bar they were ready to assist! Alan, the general manager made himself available to us, without prompting, to make sure we were getting the best service and experience. Even the owner stopped by, greeted us by our names, to check on the service we were receiving. They coordinated 3 excursions for us and made it so all we had to do was show up. Yoga and the massage were a nice addition to our relaxing wee. The food was amazing and we were astounded to find out Chef Jonathan was only 21! Thank you Rancho Pacifico for making My husband 40th birthday one for the books for my husband, me, his sister and her husband! You are top notch.

We spent a week at Rancho Pacifico and absolutely loved our experience with them. The location and views were gorgeous. The staff were very personable and knew our scheduled excursions and made sure our travel, breakfast and lunches were taken care of. Overall, the food was amazing - we have stayed at resorts where dinner was excellent but lunch and breakfast seemed like afterthoughts. This was definitely not the case at RP - it was all delicious and varied. We appreciated that the staff truly wanted to show the amazing offerings that the local area offers, from the menu to planned adventures and daily excursions down to Uvita to explore on your own. With absolutely no hesitation, we would recommend RP to anyone wanting to be pampered in Costa Rica! The only note we would give is that the trip from the San Jose airport is about 4 hours, which can be long after a day of travel. RP arranged the ground transportation for us which we appreciated. Be aware that there will be a car change in Uvita to make it up the hill to the hotel. If/When we go back, we might take the plane ride to the closer airport to shorten that last leg.

Great place for couples. Wish it had a jacuzzi next to the infinity pool!

We stayed for a few days as the first stop on our honeymoon. It far exceeded our expectations and ticked all our boxes. The villas themselves are beautiful. They have amazing views and you feel like you’re surrounded by the jungle. Well designed and extremely comfortable. We visited during rainy season and it was incredibly relaxing to watch the rain storms on the villa’s terrace. The only point of improvement I could offer is that the toilet in the room is better designed to improve privacy for the user. The toilet is in its own cubicle in the bathroom half of the room, but doesn’t feel particularly private (the cubicle does have a closing door, unlike some modern hotels that just have it on show! But the walls of the cubicle don’t go all the way to the ceiling). However this is a minor concern and the rest of the hotel made up for it. The food in the restaurant was exceptional. We ended up eating there every night because it was so delicious - something we hadn’t expected. The restaurant itself has amazing views and has been so well designed. On our last day we discovered that there were trails around the property to the waterfall. We enjoyed trying one of these out. The staff were all very friendly and gave us a fantastic welcome to Costa Rica. I would be shocked if there was a better hotel in Uvita!

This boutique hotel was absolutely amazing. It’s high in the mountain In the jungle and overlooks the ocean. The atmosphere is relaxing and natural. The music playing at the pool/restaurant is loud enough that you hear it when your eating/swimming but quiet enough that you don't hear it at your villa and very nice to listen to. I love that the hotel is environmentally friendly as they are helping to protect the natural environment around them. We saw white faced monkeys, toucans and coatimundi while on the property. They have an amazing trail that leads to multiple waterfalls. It is kept very natural so I suggest wearing runners that you don’t care to get wet and dirty. There are also howler monkeys close by, we unfortunately didn’t get to see them though. The staff was amazing! At check in, Brian was very kind As he helped us with the luggage and get settled into our villa. Another staff member took the time to teach us about some of the animals in Costa Rica, she was very knowledgeable! Our villa was spectacular. Very clean, modern and environmentally friendly! Laying in bed listening to the sound of the jungle was so serene. The food was amazing!!! Thank you to all the chefs! The menus has A mix of traditional Costa Rican with “North American” or “American” choices such as pancakes, eggs and bacon. We did however wish there were a couple more traditional dishes. Overall this hotel is a MUST stay when in Costa Rica! Thank you again!!!

Oxygen Jungle Villas is incredible! You amor Oxygen & the lovely team they have there! The room was so beautiful and tranquil. Very private; we got the spa jungle villa. Everything we ate at the restaurant was delicious! The massages were amazing! They keep it so clean and very well maintained. The entire team is amazing! Mauricio was fantastic! We opted to not rent a car and paid for a ride to and from the airport, along with our excursions and a few nights eating away for dinner. We were blessed to have Mauricio for all of our day rides! Thank you, Mauricio! For info: it was about $44 round trip for most of our rides. Rio Sierpe was like $180 and Quepos was like $250. For us, it was totally worth it! You can walk into town, but it's a big hill and we aren't in that kind of shape. We saw tons of people doing it, though. Geisel is an absolute doll! Marco, Jason, Fiorella, Raquel, Kathy, Omar, Aaron & Valeria were all incredible! I am sorry if I missed someone! We can't wait to go back and see everyone again! Pura Vida! Yo amor Uvita! Hotel highlights Luxury, Great view, Romantic, Quiet

My husband and I just returned from Costa Rica and before going I was searching for the most unique place to stay. I did not want to stay at a typical resort and I thought if I was going to Costa Rica I wanted to feel like I was in the jungle. Well I found heaven on earth when I stumbled across Oxygen Jungle Villas!!! I want to first say that this place is not in the upper part of Costa Rica near LaFortuna where all the tourists go (I did not want that for the first half of our vacation). This is located in Uvita which is 3 hours south of San Jose Airport but worth every mile. (We used Arenal Rides to drive us from San Jose Airport to Uvita and they were fantastic) Upon arrival, you drive up a LONG gravel hill to a remote resort that only has 12 ALL GLASS villas (3 sides) that are all spread out on the property. You choose jungle view or ocean view. We chose ocean view which even though the ocean is rather far out, you see it. OH MY, our morning views and sounds were incredible. These villas are so so so beautiful and romantic! And even though there is only one place for dinner, the food and staff is beyond amazing! So utterly friendly and charming. Free breakfast that I am still dreaming about. And the Infinity Pool is an oasis and so quiet! I simply can not recommend this place enough and impress upon anyone that if you want to experience the feel of Costa Rica and something so unique in your lifetime, please go!!!!

Room: is very comfortable with a spacious living room, bedroom and bathroom. This allows you to enjoy the room comfortably, especially for extended stays with lots of luggage. The windows offer a wonderful view of the ocean and the mountains. Every morning, you will be awakened by the singing of birds. You will have the chance to see monkeys moving in the nearby trees. A small terrace allows you to have a private aperitif with a sea view. The bed is super king size, very comfortable! The bathroom has a very comfortable shower and the sink has plenty of space to store products. Resturant: Breakfast is excellent, both in traditional dishes and in more American variations. Dinner was good. The menu was the same for all the week, although we would have preferred some variations during our stay. Staff: is really kind and attentive to the needs of the customers, starting with the General Manager Steven Morera, and continuing with Francisco, Domi, and Roxy. Thank you all for taking care of our needs!

Top notch hotel with super friendly and attentive staff. We had a room with ocean view - on the first floor of the main building - we loved it. High ceilings, nice decoration, air con, safe, small fridge, closet with some shelves, balcony spacious (enough). The walk through the lobby into the infinity pool is breathtaking. Great breakfast. Also had dinner twice in El Castillo kitchen (as some other restaurants are not really in walkable distance (also due to the steep and dusty 300 meters) way up to the hotel)), we liked it much (Tuna, Mahi Mahi, veggie Quesadillas).

The view is just amazing, overlooking the ocean! The pool and the bar area are very pleasant. The room (we were upgraded I think) was nice, with this balcony and the ocean view. The breakfast is very good and so well presented!! And the staff was so friendly and helpful!! We would have stayed more!

This is a must stay! The view from the hotel is absolutely stunning! The rooms were spotless clean, breakfast and dinner always tasty. But the best part is the staff and the management: they all were super friendly and helpful! It was so nice to see how the whole team interacted with each othet, it felt like a big family working together, having fun and helping out when needed! On top of everything we got a free room upgrade!

The small boutique hotel offers clean and comfortable amenities, privacy, relaxation, a spectacular elevated view of the ocean and surrounding mountains and jungle landscape, friendly and attentive, staff, eager to please, pleasant guests, and a phenomenal infinity, pool and pool deck. The breakfast meals are delicious and there are many options all day on the menu. All the staff are pleasant and professional, and Carlos, especially is courteous and seeks to go above and beyond.

Simply beautiful accommodation in the middle of the rainforest. Although the hotel was partly fully booked, we felt like we were alone there, it is very spacious and private. The nearby river is great for cooling off, as is the shared pool. a highlight is of course the jacuzzi with a view of the jungle. Toucans feel quite comfortable there too, we have seen them several times from the terrace and from the restaurant. the staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, we recommend this property to anyone in the area looking for a hidden jem.

Manoas at Uvita was our last destination at Costa Rica after we went to a few locations and stays, so having our own Villa to chill at Uvita was perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed so we were able to prepare nice big breakfasts leisurely each morning before heading to the beach or other activities. Coming back to the villa at the afternoon we relaxed at the pool and finished the day in the Jacuzzi which was located at our garden space. We had nice laid-back chairs to relax in as we took in the lovely, maintained surroundings. Staff was very nice and helpful in answering our questions and helping to book our snorkeling/diving day. You also have a big smart TV, to finish the day with if you like. Please note you need a 4*4 car to arrive at the place.

Very nice villa (Heliconia). Had everything we needed during our stay. It’s clean and well equipped. The jacuzzi was great to have during one of the rainy nights. We wanted to turn on the TV but couldn’t locate the remote and there was no extra one. In the end we really didn’t need the TV anyway. We wanted access to washer and dryer because we had been traveling for a week before reaching Uvita but the washer broke. They offered to wash our clothes for free but we opted to just wash all by hand and use the dryer since we were out and about. We didn’t try the breakfast or food offering as there was a large party and we wanted to start very early. The kitchen in the villa was great because we were able to make a simple breakfast for ourselves. Everything was great and staff were friendly and accommodating and easily reached using WhatsApp. The bedrooms on the second floor is only accessible through outside stairs and the bathroom is located on the main floor. We initially thought this will be an issue but we were fine. To reach the area you will have to drive up a rock and dirt road from Route 34. It’s secluded, peaceful and great experience. There were other guests but we didnt hear nor see many people because the villas and tents were spread out. It is atypical for us to stay farther outside of the main area when vacationing but we appreciated the experience Manoas offered particularly in Costa Rica where we were surrounded by the greenery and sound of nature.

This place is stunning! We stayed here two nights and we absolutely loved it. The tent was fabulous and the views from our balcony were gorgeous. We would leave the blinds rolled up and allow ourselves to be woken by the rising sun and the sounds of the forest coming to life - the perfect way to start any day. You can also wander down to the river for a dip should you so choose (we did and it was so peaceful). The staff were excellent; extremely helpful and giving us suggestions for where we could venture to in our hire car (we opted to visit the nauyaca waterfalls and loved it - minus some of the roads you have to navigate to get there!). We chose to eat at the restaurant one night and the food was great (ships in a jalapeno sauce - t'was delicious!). It is worth mentioning that a hire car, specifically one with 4-wheel drive is essential if you want to stay here; aside from the main coastal road (highway 34), there are very few asphalt roads in Uvita and you'll be spending a fair amount of time driving on extremely bumpy dirt roads.

Extraordinary place. Glamping tents fully equipped with everything you need. Amazing outside area with a view to the beautiful jungle. Tent and the outdoor area allows a lot of privacy. Whole Manolas area is beautiful and the garden is well maintained and has some amazing plants. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good and served in an outdoor area. Highly recommended.

Our stay at this nature lodge in Costa Rica was nothing short of extraordinary! The location itself was stunning, nestled right in the heart of pristine rainforest, set on a wildlife rich river offering breathtaking views and a constant symphony of tropical wildlife. But what truly set this lodge apart was the incredible hospitality of the hosts. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine warmth and a wealth of local knowledge that made our stay unforgettable. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure we had a perfect experience, helping us plan our days and connecting us with the best local guides. Beyond the tours, the lodge itself was a peaceful retreat. Our room was cozy, clean, and designed to maximize the natural beauty of the surroundings. Waking up to the sounds of birds and enjoying fresh Costa Rican coffee on our private deck was a daily highlight. If you’re looking for an authentic Costa Rican experience led by passionate and knowledgeable hosts, this nature lodge is the perfect choice.

The casitas were beautiful, comfortable and clean. We loved that they all have views of the beautiful garden and the river and the birds and other wildlife you can enjoy from your deck is amazing! The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Chris and Kristen are fantastic hosts with so much knowledge of the area and of the flora and fauna.

The location of this paradise could not be any better. It's a private little jungle just at the river with the view on actual jungle. It's absolutely stunningly arranged with plants, little altanas, nukes and a luxurious feel swimming pool. The owners are a couple of incredibly nice, accommodating and fascinating people. The little charming huts have everything you'll need for your stay to be comfortable. If you are looking for a jungle experience but don't like to compromise on the comfort, this place offers both and more, with such a class and amazing atmosphere. You'll never want to leave.

Lovely host (absolutely fantastic), grounds were highly curated and cared for, pool area was comfortable/fun, loved the wildlife around the property, River was such a fun amenity, great shower and water pressure

Super location. The ideal base for planning trips. Chris and Kirsten are a great help as they have checked ALL the various trips you can make in the area and 'curated' the best ones, which made our planning so much easier. Also, the location by the river is fantastic for a relaxing rest when you get back plus the chance to see lots of amazing animals and birds. Breakfast was great too. Overall, thoroughly recommended! We would definitely go back.

Super nice place in a gated community. The pictures didn't do it justice. We had a group of four so it was perfect. Lower level had a laundry room and 2 equal sized bedrooms with bathrooms inside. Each room also had a private patio with amazing views. Upstairs had a 3rd bathroom, full kitchen, dining room, living room. The outdoor covered patio wrapped around the side of the house and has even better views. We sat out there for hours at a time.

Amazing views. Nice pool. Quiet area. A bit tatty in places, but the only real negative was the poor concierge service.

The location had the best view and the property was even better than we imagined! The host was super friendly, accommodating and met all of our needs. Highly recommend this property for a trip to Uvita!

Would highly recommend Villas by Tekoa - Olmer is a spectacular host and our home had an amazing view of the Pacific

We enjoyed the villa. The views were breathtaking and Olmer was extremely helpful. Great place ..we will definitely come back.

Exceptionally good value-for-money. Small (about 14 rooms), modern, hotel in a good location for visiting various places e.g. Catarata Uvita, Nauyaca Waterfalls, Parque Nacional Marino Ballena, Hacienda Baru Wildlife Refuge. Many evening dining out options in the local vicinity, although the hotel owner told us there are plans to offer an evening meal option at Ballena Rey very soon. We had room 12: good balcony space, with 2 armchairs, small table top and 2 stalls, cacti at each end of the balcony, ceiling fan; the open plan kitchen and living room area was spacious, with air-conditioning and ceiling fan, 2 armchairs, TV, table and 2 chairs and sufficiently equipped kitchen (though 2 rings for cooking would be preferable to the one ring provided) and good-sized fridge/freezer; spacious shower room with hot water (some of the places we stayed at during our 31 night trip didn't have hot water); bedroom - reasonably comfortable bed, hanging and shelf storage space, air-conditioning and ceiling fan, one bedside table. Very good buffet breakfast - the breakfast ladies did a great job and it was lovely to be able to choose what you wanted, how much you wanted, in what order etc. Very good cleaning service provided in the room and in the hotel grounds. Lovely pool, which we made good use of. And the staff were all very friendly! We really enjoyed our stay at Ballena Rey and were sorry to leave.

We loved our stay at Ballena Rey, had a wonderful time...great value for money...our room was cosy and spotless, beds very very comfy, fab shower, kitchenette and living area with netflix 😀...breakfast was very good and the pool was just lovely. Great location, 20 minutes from national park, 5 minutes walk to a little supermarket and a great restaurant! I was sitting by the pool on the last day watching scarlett macaws and toucans flying by, lots of humming birds and colourful butterfly's on the property also but the best thing of all was the amazing staff, so kind and helpful, helped us with taxis, booking excursions, laundry and anything else we requested so a big thank you BALLENA REY for making our stay incredible, we had the best time and will be back! 👌

Our stay at this hotel was fantastic! Although there was a power outage in the city for about 2 hours during our stay, the staff handled the situation incredibly well, reassuring us that it was a common occurrence. The team was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The rooms were well-equipped, including a small kitchenette, and very spacious. The pool was a perfect way to cool down, and there’s parking conveniently located right in front of the hotel. The beach is just a 10-minute drive away, making it an ideal location for a relaxing stay. The breakfast was excellent, and we also had the option to purchase dinner, which was a great addition. Highly recommended!

Gilberto and other staff were friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. Gilberto recommended Sibu restaurant for my husband's birthday and it was great. Lovely pool (with towels) and regular hummingbirds visiting, which was so special. Comfortable bed and decent shower. A bit of a walk (20 mins) to beach but a really peaceful street. La Fogata was a great pizza restaurant a few mins walk away. Breakfast plentiful at the Rancho by the pool.

The staff went above and beyond during our stay. When we requested laundry service, they helped us out and accommodated our schedule with an extremely fast turnaround. They also allowed us to relax by the pool before check-in and let us know when our room was ready (a couple hours before we were expecting). We stayed here twice and in two different rooms. One was a 2 bed/1 bath, the other a 4 bed/2 bath. Both rooms were perfect and had everything you could need and more with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, hot showers with great pressure, and beautiful views of the garden and pool. The AC in the rooms were a life saver and the breakfast was delicious! The location was also perfect, within easy walking distance to corner shops and restaurants. I highly recommend staying here during your trip to Uvita! If you’re looking for a comfortable stay with wonderful staff, look no further.

We loved staying at Macaws! Gaby and her family are super nice and very helpfull. We originally only booked two nights but loved it so much we stayed longer. There are 10 cabinas around the central area with a nice pool and communal kitchen. Everything is sparkling clean and tidy. The kitchen has literally everything you need (including coffee from Gaby's fathers coffeefarm) and is very well organised, a great place to meet people and have a chat. The cabinas are spacious, and nicely decorated. We had one with a comfy double bed and single bed, desk, ac and a large bathroom with nice hot shower. Uvita is quite spread out, but from Macaws its easy to get everywhere, the area itself is nice and quiet. So if you're looking for a place with great rooms, a pool and a great kitchen, this is it!

This was the best stay during our travel in Costa Rica Westcoast. Gaby and Viktor made it the perfect spot for everyone!!! Families, Singles, Couples, Older and Younger. There are a couple of bungalows on the property. You get a quite big room with A/C. Very clean! The pool was a goody to cool down. The outdoor kitchen is shared and you will find all amneties you can think off. Even if you have to get your breakfast for yourself and prepare it. Gaby offers eggs, Toast, coffee and delicious homemade Marmelade. All day long cool and hot water. And even for the laundry they have a place and some soap. It's all selfservice, but if you need anything ask Gaby! It's a family business and that how it feels like. Don't book any tours upfront in Uvita. Ask Gaby! You get great tours for a very reasonable price! If you are lucky you will see the giant red parrots in the trees at breakfast. Uvita = only Macow rooms and pool

I loved this property so much!! It absolutely exceeded expectations. Our room was so comfortable and nice, the kitchen was amazing (super well-stocked, so clean & nice and extremely well-maintained), staff was super friendly, and the pool was nice too. We didn’t have a car and the grocery store and other restaurants etc were in walking distance. The value for what you pay is great and I will absolutely be back!

Would rate 10+ out of 10. Excellent and friendly hosts, very welcoming, kind and caring!! Clean rooms and a beautiful cozy place close enough to the beach and supermarkets!! Loved the pool, community kitchen, rooms, facilities and most of all the family oriented set-up with amazing people!! Would definitely come back again. Thank you so much Gaby and Victor for the incredible hospitality and for the memories!! 😊😊🙏

Nice hosts, had really good communication, helped with the BBQ, and asked a lot if need more things and if all were comfortable. Nice room, clean and nice. Wifi, room, shower- hot water, air conditioner, pool, perfect for couples The shared kitchen is nice and full of equipment and nice to talk with other travelers

Nature’s Edge is AMAZING! the view is outstanding and Keith and Joe are the friendliest hosts that make you immediately feel like family. They are friendly, kind and thoughtful but not intrusive. They know how to make everyone feel comfortable, and are and willing to help with anything you need. The villas are beautiful and they have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. super comfortable beds, extremely clean and quiet, coffee and tea in your room so you can have your coffee on the deck before the complimentary breakfast is served in the pool area. The views over the jungle is amazing and changes as the light through the day changes. Being higher above the jungle was a few degrees cooler with a nice little breeze than in town and made it a wonderful relief when it is super hot. the pool is a perfect temp. Everything was perfect and we can’t wait to go back! it was our favorite place out of 10 places we stayed on our month long vacation!

We are currently staying at Nature’s Edge in Costa Rica, in the beautiful Heliconia house, and it is truly an incredible experience. The views are absolutely breathtaking—lush greenery and stunning landscapes surround us, creating a peaceful and awe-inspiring atmosphere. The hosts are warm and attentive, always ensuring that we feel comfortable and well taken care of. In the morning, we enjoy a delicious and fresh breakfast that is both filling and beautifully prepared—a perfect start to the day. The Heliconia house is beautifully decorated with a balcony with the most beautiful view. The bed is incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax. One of the highlights of our stay is the incredible wildlife we can observe right from the house. It feels magical to watch beautiful toucans perched in the trees just outside—they are truly a sight to behold and add to the unique charm of this place. Nature’s Edge is everything we hoped for and more, offering a perfect combination of comfort, beauty, and tranquility.

Wow. Everything was just perfect. If we could give it 12 points, we would. It's not just the location and the view that make this stay so special, but above all the two hosts Joe and Keith. They are so attentive and pay attention to every little detail. At breakfast in the morning you feel like you're having breakfast with the family. You exchange ideas with other guests and the two of them had such valuable tips for us. On two days, they brought us super tasty smoothies and fresh banana bread as we were unable to take part in breakfast. They have even put together their own homepage with the menus of the surrounding restaurants and provided the cell phone numbers of the suppliers. There is so much more to the service. :) The houses are big enough and the shower is really a dream because you have the feeling of showering in the jungle. You are only separated from nature by a fly screen. The view from the balconies is a dream. In the middle of the complex there is a pool area with an outdoor kitchen, which can be used by all guests. Various birds like to fly around here in the morning. It was definitely our best accommodation in Costa Rica. We hope to come back again sometime. Thank you!

Natures Edge is great - exactly like the pics. The rooms are spacious and clean and have everything you need. The view from the balcony is fantastic we saw toucans and monkeys daily! The pool area is great with space to do your own cooking if you don’t want to go out. The hill is as steep as they say but it’s all part of the adventure and is worth it for the great view and peacefulness! Joe and Keith are lovely very open and chatty whilst also giving privacy, they left us some bubbles and chocolates as it was our honeymoon which was really kind! Even before our trip began they were super helpful with car/trip recommendations and booking them for us. The area is great loads of opportunity to do amazing trips nearby - we did 3 and so we’re up most days at 6, Joe delievered smoothies and banana bread to our room at 6.30 so we didn’t miss breakfast and we enjoyed getting back and relaxing by the pool in the afternoons. The place is amazing value for money with most other accommodations on the hill costing 2-4x more for the same view. We couldn’t have wished for anything more from our first stop in Costa Rica.

Had the most wonderful stay here this week. The area is just breathtaking, and my villa was the most comfortable out of the 12 hotels I’ve stayed at while being in Costa Rica. I loved.. - Beautiful designed, private villa with comfortable bed, gorgeous bedding, high pressure shower, lovely decor, private balcony with hammock and lots of little special touches throughout the room - Stunning jungle views. Toucans right outside your balcony - Insta worthy pool with a view to die for - Yummy breakky every morning with the most amazing view - Only 4 villas in the hotel which made my stay very peaceful - Loved meeting the friendly owners Keith & Joe (and their pup Louie). They made sure I had everything I needed and made my stay extra special I cannot recommend this place enough!

Honestly, we enjoyed everything the hotel offers. Amazing views - we had a beautiful ocean & mountain view, great for sunset watching. Being so close to the nature was the best part! It's so quiet, all you hear are sounds of nature. This is an awesome location for birdwatching - so many different bird species on the properties. Well-kept property that makes a good use of the natural landscape. Our room was spacious with good lighting, high ceiling, comfy beds and a huge balcony. The amenities and outdoor areas are exactly what you see on the website. Large pool, open 24/7 - clean water and perfect temperature. Excellent service during the entire stay makes this place highly recommended.

Wonderful resort-like hotel, with large spacious rooms, friendly “can do” staff, very good on site restaurant and spectacular views of the ocean. The hotel and grounds are immaculately manicured with fun quirky touches like a gazebo of books and yoga center. The pool is huge and squeeky clean with lots of pool chairs and a bar a very short distance. Included breakfast was way above average; eggs cooked to order, fruit, good coffee, bacon, ham etc..There is artwork throughout the property and many places to walk, jog or exercise. Highly recommend.

The view was amazing. The pool area was big enough and the food was tasteful. The pool was clean and the room felt comfy and really clean. The staff was super nice and helpful The rest was simply amazing

The service was excellent all around. Damien at the front desk was always very helpful. Coco and the staff at the restaraunt were wonderful and treated us like family. The sloth in the tree nearby was a fun distraction. The pool is amazing, food good, and location perfect for scuba diving and visiting whale tail beach - Marino Ballena. Wonderful sunset view! We also enjoyed the Catarata Uvita - Waterfall. The trail around the hotel is a good eye opening experience for hiking in Costa Rica. We loved our time here and my daughter got certified for Scuba with Costa Rica Dive and Surf - terrific time.

Just what we were looking for. Excellent views and location. Outstanding service. The included. Breakfast was great. Food at the restaurant in general is pretty good. Drinks were great. Warm relaxing pool and poolside atmosphere. The room was spacious and comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised that there was a yoga and meditation space available for use as well! Excellent bird watching without having to go anywhere. What a treat! They also deeply appreciated that the checkout time wasn't really in the morning and we were able to relax after breakfast.

Canavida is an amazing place and we’re really happy we found it. It’s brand new and the owners are slowly building the place out so we were lucky to be one of the first people to stay here. From the start, David had great communication and was super accommodating when our trip was delayed. He also kindly upgraded us to a larger villa and the property was amazing. The living and dining room was spacious and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need to cook (the sushi and sake set was also a big plus). Having AC in the main rooms was a big plus as it does get hot when the sun enters the property. The best part was definitely the view and the pool - it was a fantastic place to watch the sunset every day. David and Jonathane were helpful throughout our stay, answering any questions we had promptly. They also have great local connections and were able to hook us up with tours and a surf school. The property is about a 10-15 minute drive up a dirt road from the main shops and restaurants of Uvita. We were there in the dry seasons and had no problem doing it in our SUV in 2WD but if it was wet 4WD would probably be needed. David also offered to have someone go down to Uvita for us if we needed something picked up and didn’t want to drive into town. Overall we had an amazing stay and would highly recommend Canavida to anyone looking for a place to stay in Uvita!

We stayed at Casa Oropéndola at Canavida Resort from March 31st to April 4th, and it was nothing short of magical. The property is absolutely stunning—tucked into the lush hills of Uvita with breathtaking ocean views and surrounded by nature. Waking up to the sound of howler monkeys and tropical birds, then taking a dip in our own private pool while watching the sunrise—unreal. The 2-bedroom home is beautifully designed, with a perfect balance of modern comfort and eco-luxury. Everything was spotless and well-equipped, especially the kitchen, which made it easy to enjoy meals at home. We spent most of our time outside on the patio or in the pool, soaking in the peaceful vibes. The location couldn’t be better. It’s close to the beaches, waterfalls, and the national park, but still feels totally secluded and serene. The drive up is part of the adventure (definitely recommend a 4x4), and the views are 100% worth it. The hosts were fantastic—super responsive and thoughtful, making sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and already planning our return. If you're considering a stay here—do it. You won’t regret it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!

The property was beautiful! The condo was comfortable, clean, modern and had everything we needed. The water was safe to drink, hot showers, BBQ. We used the laundry service it was quick and a good price. We seen monkeys, Toucans, parrots, and Morpho butterflies from the beautiful pool and lounge area. The customer service was amazing and everyone was very happy and friendly. They arrange a wonderful message for us and the therapists came to our room (it was SO GOOD!) the location is far enough away from the busy Dominical town, yet close enough for a visit and some shopping. Short drive to many beautiful beaches, gas stations, restaurants, waterfalls and shopping. Great communication from booking to check out. Jessica and her team did not disappoint!! Highly recommend CanaVida.

The house is very comfortable with beautiful views to the sea and surrounded by the jungle. We loved watching and hearing the birds including toucans every day. The outdoor area is comfortable with plenty of seating in the shade if you want. Comfortable heads, good AC and well stocked kitchen. The provided coffee was a nice touch. The staff were available when needed. We slowed into a relaxed pace of life and loved our pool. We visited the NP beach and walked the whale tail at low tide, ate in and wandered around Uvita, visited a lovely soda in Ojochal and had a fantastic afternoon at the local Cararata falls. The kids loved jumping in off the platform! We used the BM supermercado which was well stocked. The drive to and from the property was fine and easy to do in a 4x4 but was a consideration as we only wanted to do it once a day.

What an excellent property! The family that runs it is dedicated to making sure all guests (including kids) have a great vacation. The property is fairly new, and the owners are always improving it. Behind the condos is a grassy area with a trampoline and badminton—perfect for kids or your inner child. Our six-year-old loved the pool and trampoline. At dawn and dusk, the property comes alive with the wildlife you come to Costa Rica to see. Have your binoculars ready by the pool deck for the show—and don’t miss the sunsets and starry skies. The condos were clean and well-equipped for cooking. The propane grills had everything we needed to grill out. It’s about 5KM/3Mi up the mountain, a 20-minute drive. We visited in March 2025 and used a driver (Caleb—highly recommend) to get up and down. It’s around 10Mil or $20 each way, worth it for the incredible views. I’ve traveled the world and this place will forever stand out. I’m already planning to stay for a month or two in the future. The team was excellent—very communicative and helpful—and even arranged everything with our driver Caleb, who was amazing and always available, including early morning pickups.
