    5 / 5 Excellent
    We loved our stay at Cabinas D'Val! Judy and Scott are so nice and know lots about the area. The property is beautiful and includes a pool and really cool area outside for communal cooking so that you can hang out in comfy chairs in the shade while eating, or sit by the pool. The rooms are clean and well stocked with cutlery, plates, glasses, etc, and have a mini fridge, microwave, kettle, and a chorreador. The nearby beach Playa Uvita isn't crowded at all and stretches on for miles. You can walk all the way down to the whale tail if you want. While we stayed at Cabinas D'Val, we went on a great snorkeling trip to Cano Island (through Bahia Adventures). Definitely a great place to stay if you want proximity to this tour, or are interested in a few relaxing beach days. Thanks Scott and Judy! :)…
