Alborada Boutique Stay

Tiki Villas Rainforest Lodge & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful boutique hotel, service was great. We enjoyed the pool, drinks and breakfast. Room very comfortable, outside shower, coffee machine, with a porch. Everything was outstanding!"

Hotel Ballena REY

10/10 Excellent

"The Hotel Ballena Ray is a gem. While the overall vibe is laid back, the rooms are perfect for a long stay with kitchenette and other basic amenities. The breakfast is especially wonderful as is the staff. And the pool, though small, is wonderful and has a bar open in the late afternoon and evening. You can swim until 9PM, which is a nice bonus after a long day exploring the surrounding areas of Uvita, Ballena Marine National Park (5 minute walk from the property) and the surrounding areas. Highly recommended."
