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.

We stayed at Alborada Boutique Stay in Uvita for our honeymoon, and it was absolutely perfect. The property is truly unique; about seven private rooms, each designed like its own modern “igloo,” offering total privacy and a cozy, romantic feel. The pool in the center ties everything together beautifully, surrounded by lush greenery and peaceful vibes. Miguel, the manager, was incredibly welcoming and made sure every detail was perfect for our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — stylish, tranquil, and unforgettable. Highly recommended for couples looking for something special!

The hotel is well located, near the road, but we don’t really hear it. It’s in the forest and it’s really nice to just take a walk around. Our arrival was easy and fast. David was really nice !

There's an uplifted elegant energy throughout the grounds, from the security guard to the cleaning staff. Our two story unit smelled like rich wood. The layout was excellent design for safety, privacy, and super comfortable beds, chairs. AC was great in each bedroom, fans, curtains all clean and in great condition. The bathrooms lighting, hot water and linen quality were exceptional. It is worth mentioning that there we few mosquitos for Ojochal. The space is ample and well equipped for cooking or working remotely, even if there were several occupants. I could stay here long term. My 14 year relaxed. He enjoyed the pool, and commented on how intelligent the whole plaza was with a pharmacy, spa services, bar, store and restaurant all weaved together with hotel. We cannot say enough about the restaurant and we booked another night at end of trip because my son has to come back for more. Citrus is a gem. Families can relax and enjoy pool day, see many bird and plant species.
