We stayed at ballena rey hotel for 2 nights. It is the best hotel we have ever stayed at during our trip in Costa Rica. WiFi and parking are free, and this hotel also features a beatifull swimming pool with a waterfall. Gilberto is an amazing and lovely host. He is really helpful and funny. We needed to do our laundry and he arranged to do it without any problems. We are highly grateful for that. The apartment is brand new and has modern design and the matress is really comfortable... we slept very well. It is totally worth it! We highly recommend it if you want to stay at modern and clean place and be surrounded also by lovely people.

The maneger made us feel at home from we came till we left. We stayed for 4 nights ( 1 extra) He was very helpfull and friendly. The rooms were sporless, clean towels every day, extra towel for swimming-pool and most important, they emptied the bin every day. If you are looking for a hotel where you are not just another guest, but truly seen and appreciated – then Alborada Boutique Stay is the place to be. Thank you so much for a memorable stay.

Beautiful hotel a little aside from Uvitas main street. There is a nice French bakery right next to it and you can get pretty fast to the beach which is part of the national park. The host did a marvelous job so we would have a good stay and we enjoyed the spots he recommended us. Many thanks for the great time and all the best.

Was only here for a night but loved it. It’s very clean and looks nice, I would say better than the photos. I stayed in the «Superior Pod in a room of 10» and it was great. Comfy, privacy, aircon, space to put your bag by your bed, big locker, lights and charging outlets by your bed. We got free towels and really good free breakfast. Friendly staff and plenty of social area. Super near the bus station. Really good pizzeria next door. Highly recommend!
