Pros:

Here you feel tucked away from the bustle of the beach crowds. Good cold A/C. Easy walking distance from the main park entrance and many restaurants.

Cons:

A coffee maker would be a great addition to the rooms.

Immediately next door to a once per year festival. Loud noise until late. It was my problem for choosing the week of the festival 🤪

Pros:

The location is great, close by to the National park and to some restaurants. The lady working there was friendly.

Cons:

We arrived within the designated check in time, but the door was locked and there was no bell to ring, just a sign with a local number to call. We arrived straight from the airport so didn't have a local sim card nor our roaming was working, so it was impossible to ring the number. Gladly, someone else who was staying there was coming back to the place and let us in. If you are expecting the guests to check in, there should be someone waiting for us or a better way to get in to the property.
There was no hot water and the shower makes a loud noise after turning off / flushing the water.

Pros:

Superb location. Uvita is very spread out, this is a nice area with very nice restaurants and a 2 minute walk to the park entrance. Very helpful staff. They only speak a little English, so used translator app.

Wenn das Bett in Ordnung wäre bestenfalls zum Schöafen zu gebrauchen.
Pros:

Die Lage ist perfekt, unmittelbar am Nationalpark. Die Wohnung war sauber und die Handtücher sehr weich. Wiedererwartend hatte sie eine Waschmaschine und einen tollen Wäscheständer.

Cons:

Unser Appartement (Nr. 2) und nur dieses kann ich bewerten hatte den Charme einer Zelle. Die beiden Fenster vergittert und Blick auf einen Hinterhof. Wegen der Hitze waren die Vorhänge jedoch größtenteils zu, so dass man sich diesen Anblick ersparte. In der Küche gab es weder Töpfe noch Toaster. Auf der Couch zog es einem nach kurzer Zeit in Richtung Boden und man starrte auf eine leere Wand, Fernseher Fehlanzeige. Im Bett spürte man jede Feder. Die Wohnung ist zudem so hellhörig, dass man jedes Geräusch aus dem Nachbarzimmer hörte.

Friendly, pretty cabins in the perfect location for park and whale watching trips
Pros:

A Lovely friendly lady checked us in. Comfy, clean ensuite double. Well kept grounds with pretty plants and bird life. Parking space in front of cabin. A short walk from the national park. The site has a gated entrance which is closed at night but guests are given a key for that. The area seemed very safe but that added to the feeling of security. The shower was superb and there was a fridge in the room, plates, mugs, glasses and cutlery which was useful.

Cons:

The a/c unit was a bit too cold! 🤣 Can't really complain about that, there was a/c and it worked, maybe a bit too well but it worked!
