This is our second time staying here and highly recommend. The property has amazing views, the rooms/villa are all new and well appointed with all you may need.

It was genuinely special. Set in the middle of a luscious jungle with incredible views of the ocean. Breathtaking. ##### Niamh Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason 11 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is amazing! I have been traveling to Costa Rica since 1990 and I can tell you Canavida is one of the best values ever. From the initial communication and through the entire stay I was impressed. The condo we stayed at was perfect. Clean, well appointed, ocean views right out the back sliding glass doors, etc. I could go on. This is 100% a place I would highly recommend when in the Dominical/Uvita area. Just make sure to get a 4x4 to make access to the property as it is up the hill a little but do not let that discourage you. It is more than worth it. ##### Jason Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie 27 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Simply amazing An INCREDIBLE time at Canavida. The area is stunning. The team that runs the resort is fabulous. We stayed at Casa Oropendola. The view of the Pacific was INCREDIBLE. As was the wildlife. The whale tail beach (and national park) is just down the hill and it's amazing. Playa Hermosa is also great (and has lifeguards). Loved the local waterfalls too (just a short drive away). I suggest renting a 4x4. It will make the drive easier. Lots of options for groceries at the bottom of the hill. We stayed for 6 nights and could have happily stayed even longer. FYI, Uvita is used to tourists so you can get around with little/no Spanish. ##### Natalie Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Jeffrey 28 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The property consists of approximately 10 individually designed villas. So, I can only comment on our villa. Almost new, could do with wardrobes or at least more shelving. Access road is 6km along a very uneven dirt track, steep in parts. Managed with a smallish 4x2 SUV, but you would def be better off with a 4x4. Beautiful views, birds and the sunsets were gorgeous. ##### Mark Jeffrey Stayed 14 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin 9 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Found Paradise in Costa Rica! I have been traveling for pleasure and for work throughout my life. I have been using hotels.com for on average 50+ hotel nights per year last 10 years. And finally, I felt I should leave a very positive review. Canavida Villas & Resort is the first booking where the everything exceeded the expectations. Top Location, service, communication, quality of stay, THE VIEW, the staff, the people, the pool, THE GRILL, the nature... I don't know where to start or to end. Basically images are in most hotel presentations showing a refined view of reality, in this case the nice photos of the property did not reflect the reality, IT WAS EVEN BETTER IRL! If you want to have a weekend or a week at one of the best locations in CR, then you just found it. Yes, it is on a hill = there is a challenging climb with your car, but you can get there with a 2 wheel drive. Uvita as location is also very nice, but why bother to go there except for grocery shopping, this resort is a paradise you don't want to leave! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D7B67A6DD5884A9B01C92A535AE29F086A360E491739089833251.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Martin Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexandra 21 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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! ##### Alexandra Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hugo Urena 23 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Las villas son hermosas, las vistas impresionantes!

We eventually did get there. We stayed in Toucan (3 bedroom). The communication was on point. The road is indeed unpaved and it takes us about 15 min. We did have a 4x4 but didn’t really need to use the function only when it rained. We did notice the adjoining bedrooms, we can hear each other’s conversation. We were 2 couples and had to decide which rooms would give us more privacy. The place was real nice and cool. There’s AC in all the bedrooms and living room. The kitchen has most of what you’ll need to cook a meal. We couldn’t get the AC on and it was immediately addressed. We had to play with the shower to get the right temperature. It’s either very hot water or cold. We didn’t get a chance to address this. We’d stay here again. We felt safe and comfortable. ##### Wai Hing Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [All-Inclusive Hotels in England](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-England-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d11218-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d178279-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Calais](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calais-Hotels.d6664.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Casa Luna Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Luna-Hotel-Spa.h2305532.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Exeter](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d1185-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Gloucester-Cheltenham by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gloucester-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Gloucester-Cheltenham.h5800.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Edinburgh.h3516.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [Cloud Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Cloud-Forest-Lodge.h2050850.Hotel-Information) > > [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belmar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Belmar.h37178213.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Corcovado Jungle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drake-Bay-Hotels-Casa-Corcovado-Jungle-Lodge.h19460167.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lalit London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-LaLit-London.h17455722.Hotel-Information) > > [Crown and Cushion Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Crown-And-Cushion-Hotel.h1145231.Hotel-Information) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Poas Volcano Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vara-Blanca-Hotels-Poas-Volcano-Lodge.h5259118.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Gulf Air London (LHR) to Muharraq (BAH) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/gulf-air-from-heathrow-to-bahrain-intl/gf/lhr/bah) > > [Flights from Cardiff (CWL) to Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cwl/ncl/cardiff-to-newcastle) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Seawell (BGI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/bgi/london-to-bridgetown) ### Activities > [Things to do in Zakopane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Zakopane.d5067.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Galicia Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galicia.d6047906.Holidays-City-Breaks)
