Villas Bungalows Ballena

Nice big house, rooms very clean, kitchen has every supply you can think of, friendly people. Very close to the beach, a 5 min walk. Swimmingpool delicious after a hot day. Town is small, lots of restaurants, would recommend Le French Café. Surfing classes easy to book

The service is delicate and very respectful. They always have solutions for difficulties. Two splendid national parks: Marino Ballena and Corcovado, two hours away. Birds of all kinds, supermarkets very close and security at all times. Above all, a healthy silence and perfect for children. :)

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.

We stayed for 2 nights in cabin 3. The place is very nice and is kept very clean. There were 3 of us in the 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom/ we didn’t use the kitchen this time but it’s fully stocked and there’s a minimart nearby we could have used, but we ate most meals at the couple restaurants that are right down the road. The pool is available at all hours but the water slide get shut off early. There is a nice safety system for the gates; there are about 5 parking spaces (maybe a spot per bungalow?) but you get the keys and remote to the gate so you can come and go even when the front desk is closed. Water has high pressure but is drinkable and there are ACs in each room and the living room. It was an excellent stay with everything we needed and I will definitely stay here again if I come back to the Whale Tail.

This small boutique property has 6 bungalows and a small but lovely pool. Each bungalow has a full kitchen with all you need -- full-size fridge and range, blender, toaster, rice cooker, glasses (plastic for pool & glass for indoors), plates, cookware, etc. Their bed linens and towels are very nice and it's fantastic that they also provide large pool towels, as well as beach towels. Their toiletries are minimal but adequate. The a/c is great. And the blackout drapes are fantastic. The fully secure property has space for 1 car per bungalow, which is great. And the staff are super friendly and helpful. However, . . . the bungalows are very close together so you have to keep your drapes closed, which makes the bungalow very dark. And the wall between the 2 bedrooms has significant gaps in it so that you can see and hear what's happening in the adjoining room. And no way to close it off; we finally hung a beach towel over it. But this place is THE BEST option to be within very easy walking distance of the Whale Tale National Park, the Dolphin Tours office, several bars and restaurants, a mini-grocery store, souvenir shops, etc. The place may not be perfect, but we were perfectly delighted. And we would return here when we come back to Uvita.
