Top Bahía Ballena Hotel Reviews

Villas Rio Mar

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel on the edge of town into the rainforest. Staff were great, pools were nice, jungle setting outdoor gym was a nice suprise and the bar and restaurant had the friendliest staff!"

Cristal Ballena Boutique Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"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."

Tiki Villas Rainforest Lodge & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Tiki Villas is a beautiful place with very helpful and friendly staff. Ana and William helped ensure our stay was comfortable and booked an excursion to Corcovado which was a lovely day adventure and a dinner reservation in Uvita. We loved relaxing with a delicious drink by the pool. Jose made a refreshing lemongrass and ginger tea that was my favorite. The restaurant was delicious for breakfast, lunch, and dinner- kudos to the chef in particular for the catch of the day and the French toast. Fernanda and Brandon and Jose were kind servers and nice to talk to. The entire staff was welcoming and went above and beyond communicating through whats app and making sure we had everything we needed, like preparing breakfast to go when we had an early morning start. The hotel has a lovely view and comfortable accommodations. We had four wonderful nights here and would love to stay again!"

Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This property is stunningly beautiful. Very clean. Worth the drive up the mountain. Staff are very nice and helpful."

La Cusinga Lodge

8/10 Good

"The view was amazing and staff were very friendly. I did not realize that the rooms did not have A/C, so things were hot the first night (reception closed at 8:00), but they were able to get me another fan the second night l, which made things better. Overall, we really enjoyed the stay which included access to a local swimming hole which was very refreshing. The restaurant was the most expensive meal we had in Costa Rica and to be honest, the food was not bad, but not good. Definitely not worth the money spent. We found food more reasonably priced and better tasting outside the resort. I would strongly recommend this site if you want great views, friendly staff, the feeling of being alone, and don’t mind no AC."
