Food at the restaurant is very good and the customer service is top notch. ##### Esteban Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Garett 17 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My fiancé and I enjoyed a relaxing week at this hotel. It's very close to town and they have great recommendations for activities around the area or a little outside the town of Uvita. The staff was absolutely fantastic! Paolo went out of his way to make our experience memorable and made us feel right at home. Definitely staying here on our next visit! ##### Garett Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 20 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Staff takes this place to the next level.

The view of birds and other wildlife was nice. One of the staff took us where we needed to go a stayed right with us which was great since the villas are rather remote. They store modern with private pools in each. I will definitely go back. ##### Ralph Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Susan 24 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quiet private.

The food was very good, but not excellent. It is luxurious and everyone tries really, really hard to please guests. Toucans and other birds stopped by our patio, 10 feet away. We enjoyed our stay very much. ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie 16 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was an amazing experience.

I highly recommend! ##### Stephanie Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Navjot (Neeru) 18 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities If I could give more stars, I would! I spent two weeks in Costa Rica & I chose to spend my second week at Golden Pineap & wow, this property is truly magical. I came here to rest, breathe and reconnect with myself after an intense week of deep inner work. As a business owner and a single mother of three, I live in a constant “go, go, go” lifestyle and this was the first time in a long time that I allowed myself to simply be. Golden Pineap was the perfect place for that. The views here are unbelievable; mountains, ocean, jungle, clouds rolling in, sunsets that look like paintings. Normally on vacation I feel like I need to explore and do a million things, but here I didn’t have to go anywhere. I could relax in my villa and feel completely content. The private pool, the outdoor bathtub, the rainfall shower, the peaceful design, everything felt intentional and soothing. It was exactly what my mind, body, and soul needed. And the staff; what can I even say? Every single person I encountered had the kindest energy and the warmest heart. Pablo, Mario, Leo; each of them went above and beyond, but Leo truly went the extra mile in every way. I felt supported, cared for, and safe, even traveling solo. If you’re considering a massage, please book with Liliana, her hands are absolutely magical. This was the perfect place to end my CR journey. It gave me rest, clarity, and a deep sense of peace that I haven’t felt in years. And the icing on the cake? Finding out this is a woman-owned! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b25b0513-d9cc-4a5c-9917-17931ca0de2c-1763428406553.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fd388805-6647-43f2-9f9a-73f2deca7ee5-1763428396889.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d65adde0-df98-4da7-b928-0ce5d2fb519c-1763428393114.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/83213b09-ff30-44a3-9064-0873c9eaa880-1763428402288.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Navjot (Neeru) Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### rashina 10 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities OMG the pictures don’t do it justice! Sooooo beautiful. The staff is SO accommodating. Very clean but remember you are in the middle of the jungle so there are bugs and insects. The food is delicious. You will absolutely need a 4x4 to get there. No complaints. Would def stay again ##### rashina Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jose 16 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place was magical. The drive up the mountain was an adventure. Place is safe and guarded my security. The villas are beautiful and clean. It was breathtaking. The staff so nice and quick with all their services. The room was cleaned everyday and smelled so good. The restaurant was so convenient to have right next to us. We could eat at the restaurant or order our food to eat in our villa which was great on the days we were very tired from excursions. It was better than I could imagine. ##### Jose Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### crystal 12 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities FIRST TIP: Make sure you have a 4x4 truck, the mountain incline decline is very steep. Outside of that my stay here was outstanding. I just got back from celebrating my birthday and the staff as well as the owner was very kind, very welcoming. They stayed up all night and giving us directions and leading us up the mountain until we got there and I truly appreciate that. And then on my birthday they made a cake and sing Happy Birthday it was very sweet. The cleaning staff does an amazing job keeping the rooms clean. Once we left and came back to our rooms it was spotless smelled amazing and they kept the pools clean as well. The chef did his thing every night and the food was very delicious. Thank you for showing me a great time while there. The views were fantastic. ##### crystal Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Natural Drake Bay Hotel Boutique](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drake-Bay-Hotels-Natural-Drake-Bay-Boutique-Hotel.h100431716.Hotel-Information) > > [Lapa Rios Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Lapa-Rios-Lodge.h1447895.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Juana Lodge and Nature Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Santa-Juana-Lodge-And-Nature-Reserve.h10501821.Hotel-Information) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Maquenque Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boca-Arenal-Hotels-Maquenque-Eco-Lodge.h4147006.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tranquilo Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drake-Bay-Hotels-The-Tranquilo-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36517873.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Kenaki Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cahuita-Hotels-Kenaki-Lodge.h8460922.Hotel-Information) > > [Ecolirios Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Guacimo-Hotels-Ecolirios-Boutique-Hotel-And-Spa.h32864539.Hotel-Information) > > [Iguana Lodge Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Iguana-Lodge-Spa-Beach-Resort.h6882446.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Luna Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Luna-Hotel-Spa.h2305532.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Escape Caribeño](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Viejo-De-Talamanca-Hotels-Hotel-Escape-Caribeno.h12310729.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Amavi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Amavi.h103597450.Hotel-Information) > > [Selva Verde Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarapiqui-Hotels-Selva-Verde-Lodge.h4139642.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) > > [Costa Rica Surf Camp by SUPERbrand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Costa-Rica-Surf-Camp-By-SUPERbrand.h17702230.Hotel-Information) > > [Chayote Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naranjo-Hotels-Chayote-Lodge.h9716642.Hotel-Information) > > [Hideaway Rio Celeste](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Katira-Hotels-Hotel-Rio-Celeste-Hideaway.h3858533.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hideaway Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samara-Hotels-The-Hideaway-Hotel.h11027376.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Sarapiqui Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarapiqui-Hotels-La-Quinta-Sarapiqui-Lodge.h18261717.Hotel-Information) > > [Toad Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arenal-Hotels-Toad-Hall-Hotel.h11685037.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Waterfall Lodge Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-GreenLagoon-Arenal-Waterfall-Villas.h1823811.Hotel-Information) > > [Macaw Lodge ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carara-Hotels-Macaw-Lodge-An-Authentic-Ecolodge.h6778240.Hotel-Information) > > [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabañas del Rio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Cabanas-Del-Rio.h22951676.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Activities ### Packages ---
