Pros:

Die Poollanschaft und der Garten

Cons:

Es fehlte ein Föhn, der uns aber auf Anfrage genau wie ein Wäscheständer noch gebracht wurde. Als Tipp an die Besitzer direkt für alle Urlauber im Zimmer bereitstellen.

A must stay if you visit Uvita! Sylvia & Ferdinand are welcoming hosts!
Pros:

Exceptional stay at Dolce Uvita. Sylvia & Ferdinand were so welcoming. Room was large, beds comfortable with good aircon. Hot water! Pool area was relaxing & clean. Breakfast was delicious in their lovely restaurant next door. Even insisted on parking our motorcycles in their restaurant for security. Highly recommend booking in for dinner. Ferdinand makes an incredible homemade pasta!

Cons:

Nothing!

Wow
Pros:

Posizione ottima vicino ad una delle entrata al parco. Silvia, la proprietaria, super gentile e disponibile con noi, ci ha dato un sacco di consigli utili per il nostro soggiorno. La stanza ampia e pulita e luminosa. Ferdinando poi ci ha preparato una buonissima cena all’italiana(ne avevamo bisogno dopo 10 giorni di riso pinto e uova)…ci siamo sentite super coccolate.

Cons:

Niente

Отличное уютное место в удобной локации
Pros:

Огромный красивый номер, куча полотенец, ежедневная уборка, красивая большая территория с бассейном, гамаками, кухней. Очень вежливый внимательный приятный персонал. Настоящий итальянский ресторан на территории. Недалеко пешком до пляжа, вокруг супермаркеты, рестораны, офисы экскурсий.

Cons:

В душе после душа скапливается вода на полу, стелите коврики которые дают, иначе есть риск поскользнутся.

Einfache Zimmer mit tollem Garten
Pros:

Wir waren nur 2 Nächte dort und hatten etwas Pech mit dem Wetter. Daher konnten wir den wunderschönen Garten mit Pool leider nicht genießen. Die Lage ist fußläufig zum Nationalpark, die Zimmer sind einfach und sehr sauber. Wir würden wieder kommen. Die Gastgeberin ist unglaublich herzlich und gibt viele Tipps. Danke!

Really Lovely place but expensive to eat.
Pros:

The owner was so friendly and helpful. The hotel is lovely and pool was brilliant for kids. Also the communal kitchen was great to cook in one night. We loved our stay there but would either self cook or eat out as was expensive to eat there.

Cons:

We had dinner one night and felt it was extremely expensive for what we had. Although it was lovely it was a shock when got the bill working out at £30 per head for a bowl of pasta each and ice cream for pudding. We had a bottle of wine which we knew might be pricey but even so it seemed alot for what we had.

Pros:

Nice hotel, the owners are very nice and they are very helpful. It's a small hotel attached to great Italian restaurant. Great value for money. Definitely would recommend it. If I had to complain about something it would be that it doesn't have inside parking, but no drama with that matter.

Pros:

The food, the gelato, and the swimming pool, in addition to the kindliness of the owners, are all highlights. Good value, especially if you book direct from them and get the half board option, which is very much recommended.

Excellent mais manque un peu de confort
Pros:

Emplacement excellent, le cadre super, les hôtes au petit soin. Par contre il faut revoir un peu l’état des chambre, lit pas confortables, évier bouché et climatisation qui a besoin d’un rafraîchissement pour fonctionner correctement.

A friendly, relaxing and comfortable place to stay in Uvita with an excellent chef
Pros:

Sylvia our hostess was excellent, friendly helpful and generous. Her husband as the chef was highly skilled and produced some amazing Italian food, often cooking to request, which can be accompanied with some excellent Italian wines. Dolce Uvita is a relaxing oasis, created by the wonderful gardens which are alive with birds and butterflies. The pool area is great with areas of shade created by its beautiful garden surround. An outdoor kitchen was available to self cater. Well positioned for the local beaches

Cons:

the only thing we would mention would be that our mattress did need replacing.
The other thing I would mention is that the local beaches are within the Marine National Park and there is a small daily fee to enter them.

Pros:

We had a lovely stay! The owners are very kind and responsive and were happy to help us with advice on what to do and booking tours, and also happy to let us do our own thing. The Italian restaurant on site is also run by the owners and it is delicious. Very laid back place, easy going, nice accommodations and a short walk to Marino Ballena Park, beaches, restaurants, and bakeries. As a bonus, at night the garden smells of jasmine.

10/10 would stay here again any time. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful.

Amazing surprise
Pros:

The place is absolutely beautiful! The garden is stunning and the pool is larger than we gathered from the pictures. The food in the Italian restaurant is out of this world and the owners are very friendly, highly recommend!
