9.6/10 Exceptional! (232 reviews)
We stayed for 5 nights at the hotel. The hotel has the most beautiful view of the ocean. The restaurant was great for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The swimming pool was beautiful. We saw all kinds of birds and animals in the ground of the hotel. Highly recommend for anyone staying around the Uvita area with a car.

Staff was great! Property is beautiful with an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean! The food from the restaurant was very flavorful and delicious!
Only issue is that there was no body wash/shower gel in our bathroom.
Besides that, it was excellent! Would definitely stay there again.
