Cabinas D'Val Boutique Hotel

The rooms were very nice - comfortable beds, AC, reliable hot water and they had extra items such as umbrellas and beach towels to make the stay more enjoyable. Scott was friendly and always responded quickly.

The property is tidy, clean, organized, intimate and festive. There are only 3 rooms so quaint, which is appropriate for the small town of Ballena. Our room was clean, organized and well stocked for the traveler (beach towels, umbrella, hangers, drying rack, safe, mini kitchen..). AC works well and wifi is strong. There is key code for the gate so secure at night. Scott knows the quality adventure companies too! He provides detailed instructions for check in and recommendations for dining, activities, etc.

Quiet little boutique hotel. Walkable to local restaurants and the beach.

Had a three night stay here, it’s very close to the national park and beach in a very safe area with a lot of food options. Room was spacious, bed was very comfortable and the AC worked very well. Scott was a great host and readily available to answer any questions. As a woman, solo traveller, would def recommend.

Really enjoyed my stay at Scott’s cabinas! It was very clean and had a lot of cool stuff, the open air kitchen and common area was really neat!

This is a great place to stay in Uvita. We did not have a car while we were here but we could walk everywhere we needed to go. It is centrally located and very close to a couple of entrances to the Ballena National Marine Park as well as some food stores and several restaurants. Kinsu restaurant, which is excellent, is less than a 3min walk away. Scott is usually around to answer any questions or concerns you may have. He will arrange tours and transportation for you if required. He had to go back to the USA while we were there but he made arrangements for another man to come and stay at his place so someone was always there to look after any needs we may have had. The shared outdoor kitchen area was a great place to have lunch and breakfast; we went out for dinner each night. It was nice to be able to have fridge and freezer space in the big shared fridge in the outdoor kitchen. Our room was comfortable and we appreciated the small fridge and sock coffee maker in our room. Scott supplied the coffee and sugar. There are only 3 cabinas which is nice, people to talk to if you want but not busy. The pool is great for swimming.

Really great spot and the owner is awesome!

Ever stayed in cabina before so little skeptical. Owner met us in parking area, walked us through everything we needed to know about facility ,restaurants and town. 2 day stay and will return . Great pool and common area. Owner could teach small hotels/ lodges customer service skills and hospitality.

Loved staying here. Felt like we were at home. Great cabina with everything you need and perfect pool on property. We loved everything about our visit and would love to stay again.

This was the PERFECT place to stay in Uvita! Beautiful and tasteful rooms, Comfortable bed, nice grounds and dip pool, walkable to the beach, grocery store and restaurants!

Very nice property, good communication with owner. Property was clean and comfortable. Parking was gated and secure. We were able to walk to the beach. Bed very comfortable. Would recommend.

A real oasis in Uvita.
Felt like staying at a friends house. So many details on the property & inside the room showed how much fun the owner must have renting his rooms and meeting people.

Cabina D’Val is an ideal accommodation within Uvita. Wonderful individual units with all the amenities one needs for a comfortable Costa Rica adventure. Easy walking to Playa Ballena and services. Our host, Scott was the best and was always extremely hospitable. Would return in a heartbeat to enjoy the Pura Vida at Cabinas D’Val.

It's a cute, cozy, gated place with just a few rooms, a common area with a fully equipped kitchen, a small entertainment area, and a pool. There's a ceiling fan, an AC, a laundry hanger inside the room. Walking distance from a few decent restaurants and the national park beach.

Wonderful place, surrounded by nature and very close to the beach. Scott is an amazing host.

Cabinas d’Val is an amazing place to stay in Uvita! Great location, just a quick walk to the beach or into town. Lots of great restaurants nearby and so quiet and peaceful. The bed is so comfortable, I slept amazing here. The owner Scott is an amazing host and made me feel so welcome. As a woman traveling alone, feeling safe and secure where I am staying is always important and the Cabinas was perfect in this respect. I will definitely be coming back. Stay here you won’t regret it!

Scott the owner was very helpful and friendly. The outdoor kitchen and the pool was clean and inviting. The proximity to the most beautiful beach and National Park makes this a great location. Scott helped us to book a boating tour for whale and dolphin watching.
I would go back to this place in a heartbeat. Thumbs up!

The details were lovely; the bed was comfortable, the sheets and towels were high quality, the shower soap and shampoo smell amazing, and there were items for cooking, coffee, etc. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We enjoyed our five day stay here so much that we extended for 2 further nights. Although there is not a great deal to do in Uvita, the national park is beautiful ($6 entry fee) and Scott, the owner, is happy to arrange any trips for you. October is a quiet time of year, so although there are a few good places to eat they were either closed or closed early. There are two small groceries stores nearby, and a really good supermarket in easy walking distance. However, the cabin and gardens are so comfy and peaceful it was a great place just to relax. The bed is incredibly comfy, the pool is nice for a dip to cool off, and the gardens are great for bird watching. There is also a great rancho for outdoor cooking, and a good outside seating area. Scott was a great host and made us feel very welcome, he even did some laundry for us. If you are looking for a great place to stay away from the crowds, then look no further.

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! :)
