We stayed at ballena rey hotel for 2 nights. It is the best hotel we have ever stayed at during our trip in Costa Rica. WiFi and parking are free, and this hotel also features a beatifull swimming pool with a waterfall. Gilberto is an amazing and lovely host. He is really helpful and funny. We needed to do our laundry and he arranged to do it without any problems. We are highly grateful for that. The apartment is brand new and has modern design and the matress is really comfortable... we slept very well. It is totally worth it! We highly recommend it if you want to stay at modern and clean place and be surrounded also by lovely people.

We came for 2 nights in tent. We finally stayed 4 nights. I could just stop by saying that. This place is just amazing: I cannot tell about the rooms (looks like there is rooms close to the pool and small houses for families), but concerning the tents it’s just the most beautiful stay we had in Costa Rica. The tents are like 5 m away from the river, into the forest, very quiet and peaceful. You can of course swim into the river if you are not too cold and you have all the wild animals around you such as monkeys and birds. The owner, David, gave us everything to cook with and mattress. He’s very helpful and always trying to find solutions. You have access to sanitary (not luxurious but efficient enough) and you have also access to the pool. Last but not least you are close to a maxi pali (10/15 mins away by foot) and to the Uvita beach (which is free, same distance than Pali). Just Better than all the accommodations we saw in Uvita and super cheap !

We had an amazing stay ! Great location, quiet at night, clean, and a fantastic property. We did not have a car, and got around to restaurants, waterfall and the national park by foot. Sylvain answered all our questions and helped us get the best holiday in Uvita.

We enjoyed our time at the Cabinas. The room is decorated with good taste and it was nice to cook breakfast in the kitchen in the yard while the birds were flying around. It's a short distance to the beach and the location is good anyway, restaurants can be found just a few minutes' walk away. The host Scott is very friendly and helpful.

This place is absolutely amazing! The view is breathtaking, and the peacefulness made our stay incredibly relaxing. We had the best time here. Leonardo, the host, is super friendly and went out of his way to help us find a tour to Corcovado for the next day, which we really appreciated. The breakfast was very good, with a nice variety of options, though it was more continental in style. I would have loved a bit more of a local touch to really capture the Costa Rican flavor. Nonetheless, the quality was great and we really enjoyed it! The atmosphere is wonderful, and I truly love this place. If you're looking for a serene escape with fantastic views and great hospitality, this is the perfect spot!

There's an uplifted elegant energy throughout the grounds, from the security guard to the cleaning staff. Our two story unit smelled like rich wood. The layout was excellent design for safety, privacy, and super comfortable beds, chairs. AC was great in each bedroom, fans, curtains all clean and in great condition. The bathrooms lighting, hot water and linen quality were exceptional. It is worth mentioning that there we few mosquitos for Ojochal. The space is ample and well equipped for cooking or working remotely, even if there were several occupants. I could stay here long term. My 14 year relaxed. He enjoyed the pool, and commented on how intelligent the whole plaza was with a pharmacy, spa services, bar, store and restaurant all weaved together with hotel. We cannot say enough about the restaurant and we booked another night at end of trip because my son has to come back for more. Citrus is a gem. Families can relax and enjoy pool day, see many bird and plant species.
