Villas Bungalows Ballena

A real nice place, close to the beach and plenty of restaurants close by. Spacious, clean bungalows with a fully functional kitchen, two bedrooms (of which one double bedroom) and two bathrooms (one ensuite). Nice staff, private parking and a really nice pool. Our best stay in Costa Rica!

Great location and the bungalows were well appointed for a family. Our two bedroom bungalow was a good size with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, full kitchen, dining room, living room, private veranda with another dining table and hammock. It’s a small intimate property of only a few bungalows so it’s quieter which suits us just fine! Alexia at the front desk is awesome and happy to answer all of our questions. Located very close to the entrance of the National Park which is also the beach. All of the rooms had A/C which we appreciated. For a “free” beach offering, Playa Hermosa is only about a 5 min drive away and is huge…. (And good for sunsets…). For waterfalls, the nearby Catarata falls are awesome for swimming in and an easy walk in. Multiple pools to swim in and even a natural slide down one of the biggest falls. We really enjoyed our stay at Uvita and certainly would come back and stay at Bungalows Ballena again!

A luxurious cottage with split A/Cs in every room. The two bedrooms and two bathrooms were highly appreciated by our family. The kitchen, besides a full fridge and stove, has a full range of small appliances including a rice cooker. The cottage overlooks the pool and is steps away from shops, restaurants and the beach.

The room was very clean, had all the amenities one would need for a stay. Service was fantastic, including a free laundry service for an honest review. We wish we allocated more time here as it was comfortable & convenient. Pura Vida. Gracias

What a stunning location and the accommodation is outstanding. You will be grateful for the superb air conditioning after your evening drinks by a crystal clear swimming pool. We would definitely stay here again shiuod we visit Uvita again.

This cabin-style small hotel is conveniently located in Uvita. It is a 5-7 minute walk to Maria Bellena National Park featuring Uvita Beach and the famous Whale’s Tail beach. Our cabin was very clean, large, and came with a good-sized kitchen and 2 bathrooms; it was comfortable for 4 adults. There is AC in every room. The beds are comfortable although pillows and furniture are a bit old. Despite a language barrier, the front desk staff were incredibly helpful. We were able to easily book a tour with them, and they were very flexible with the booking as we had to reschedule due to heavy rains. They even offered same-day laundry services in exchange for an unbiased review. During our 4-day stay, rooms were cleaned and towels refreshed once; I’m sure this could have been done more often if we had wanted. In addition to bath towels, beach and pool towels were also provided. The hotel pool was clean with plenty of available chairs. The property was quiet, safe and within walking distance of a few restaurants. Ubers were hard to find, but when available, were able to drive us 5-10 minutes away to even more restaurant options. Overall, this is a safe, clean, low-frills hotel but an excellent value with great service.
