The big pros: 10-15 minute walk to local access of the beach, relatively comfortable beds (the mattresses appeared to be new, and had comfort tops), and the pool is set back into the trees, so it feels very immersed in the rainforest. The two staff members we interacted with were also very friendly, as was the very charming rescue dog in the office.

Elegant resort, quiet, immersed in nature with breath taking...
Elegant resort, quiet, immersed in nature with breath taking views of the sea from the most exquisite villas. The staff is quiet, kind, professional, the ambience is luxurious but not ostentatious. No loud music, no tvs, a temple of peace and relaxation for couples. The spa is a very upscale experience immersed in the jungle. The biggest surprise is the food: curated by a chef who truly understands simple, fresh taste for elegant meals matched with wonderful wines (and we are picky Italian foodies!). The 4x4 drive up to Kura was also so much fun and one of the highlights of the trip. Highly recommend, a world away from the obnoxious, loud, ostentatious luxurious all-inclusive resorts which have destroyed local cultures around the world.

Uvita is a lovely area to stay in, with beautiful beaches and plenty of waterfalls to visit in the area. We recommend taking a trip to visit the mangroves in Sierpes. Our kids loved the surfing lessons they had here.

Uvita is my favorite beach in Costa Rica.
Uvita is my favorite beach in Costa Rica. It's huge, you feel alone on the beach. The wildlife is beautiful. Tons of restaurants and places to walk. There are different beach sectors that you can chose from. It is a National Park, so you have to pay, but it is well worth it. One ticket gets you onto all the beaches. Staff in the Nationals Park is very helpful and there are patrols on the beach from the police and the National Park Guards.

Uvita was ungodly hot -- so hot that we really couldn't enjoy the sights. Even the ocean is hot. An airconditioned hotel room is a must! Even if there are many interesting birds and animals here, unless you have a high heat tolerance, you'll likely be miserable.

It wasn’t my favorite place in Costa Rica.
It wasn’t my favorite place in Costa Rica. Part of the problem was that it was so unbearably hot. I couldn’t go out and walk around comfortably. I didn’t go to the beach because of the heat and that would’ve been a big attraction also although my hotel was not far from town because of the heat again I found it unbearable to walk into town and walk around which I’d like to do when I’m traveling, so basically, my problems with AveUvita were weather related

Uvita is not the typical beach town, as it's very spread out...
Uvita is not the typical beach town, as it's very spread out and you need a car or a taxi to move around. In Uvita, you can visit the Marino Ballena National Park, which is possibly the most famous attraction in the area, where you can do whale-watching boat tours and other water sports tours like snorkeling and scuba diving.
We visited the Marino Ballena National Park and found its whale-shaped beach very suggestive and unique. However, we were also very underwhelmed by the poor housekeeping of the park. There was rubbish everywhere and this is disappointing and upsetting given that this is supposed to be a protected natural reserve and you also pay for the access at a substantial price per person, which should guarantee thorough housekeeping.
We went also to Playa Hermosa on our way to Uvita, but the amount of signs warning visitors of possible thieves, ruins a little bit of the vibe and it's not very relaxing having to watch your back all the time. Overall the beach is very nice and nothing happened to us. Since Playa Hermosa is also free to access, we recommend a visit, at least a stop by.
Staff was amazing! The food was the best I’ve ever had while on vacation. Very accommodating but also great variety. The staff members were personable and extremely helpful with anything we needed for our stay. Chefs Kiss to the Chef! Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner were all amazing and had a lot of variety. The views and trees from the mountains tops were unmatched! We were literally in the clouds. Our activities were all set up and planned and the staff knew of our daily agenda. It was overall a Great stay with great staff and food.
The best hostel I’ve ever been!!! Facilities were great, design is amazing, very well merged nature and comfort. It has its own restaurant that offers amazing food (loved the house ceviche!).
What I liked the most was the good vibes and welcomness of Karo, she suggested the best things to do and was so friendly!
I was debating whether to stay in Uvita or in Dominical, and choose Uvita specifically for this hostel, I was not wrong! The hostel and the place is much nicer than Dominical, would recommend!
Small "resort" with 5 log bungalows in beautifully maintained property with secure parking in delightful Playa Uvita. Sparkling lap-sized pool and neat common areas. Easy walk to the Ballena Beach (for $7.00 pp). Small well stocked (low average prices) supermarket and fine decently priced fish restaurant very nearby.
The fans and individual rooms' AC made our stay comfortable. Hot water in the kitchen was great, as were the showers. Lovely patio for morning coffee. Birds abound in the area.
This place was everything you think about when traveling to Costa Rica! Lovely home with windows everywhere which completely brings the outdoors in. Garden, pool, AC in the bedrooms for great sleeping at night. Little things we loved that were unexpected. Bluetooth speaker for use by the pool was a great bonus! Weights and workout bench if you so chose to use. We will be coming back to this place! One of the best places we’ve stayed in our many travels and the host was so great!!
Probably the best hotel we stayed during our vacation in Costa Rica. The villas are in excellent condition and very well maintained. It feels as if the owners herself stayed as a guest in the villas and equipped it for every possible need of the guests. Our experience at the hotel was unforgettable.
The staff in the hotel were exceptionally kind, they assisted us with every need we had. The breakfast was very tasty and fresh, and could also be eaten in the villa if you would like.
We ended our 2-week trip there and we could not have expected a better ending.
Probably one of the best hotels we have stayed in. The view of the jungle and the ocean were truly amazing. Very interesting and delicious vegan dishes, great electronic lounge music and overall private and relaxing atmosphere.
Very friendly staff (including the owner).
The hot tub and pool area was as well incredible with comfortable sunbeds.
We would love to come back!
Javier & Mira, have a wonderful place and they are beautiful people. They made a home-made breakfast with fresh eggs, bacon and truly fresh, mouthwatering fruit while we sat at the bar and enjoyed great conversation with them. And they made the best pina colada I have ever tasted. The food in Costa Rica is so fresh with no preservatives and additives. They have wonderful place to escape the pressures of everyday life.
This was the best hotel we have ever stayed in. A spectacular view, delicious breakfast (e.g. self-made quiche, banana bread,...) and super kind hosts. Dear Keith and Joe, thank you so much for this amazing experience including all the tips and tricks for dinner, attractions and transportation. We could not have wished for a better start for our stay in Costa Rica. We highly recommend this place 😊
the property was nice and clean, and the owners of the place, Silvia and Ferdinando, are hands down the best value added to this place!
the location is perfect, 10 min a walk to the main beach. the other great plus which come with the Italian couple who owns the place is the delicious Italian restaurant! even if you don’t stay at the hotel you have to try it!!
The location is awesome, super close to the main highwat and also to the beach and main attractions and resteurants in Uvita. the staff at the hotel are super extra and really friendly. specially Katia, she welcomed us and was always looking to see if everything was good. I also liked the cleanliness of everything and the community terrace they have.
Great place to stay in Uvita.
Nice, clean apartment with a big room in the middle of uvita.
Easy to walk or drive to the Ballena nacional parque or plays as well as access nice bars and restaurants.
The pool was very pleasant too.
The hotel manager was very kind and accommodating and they also offer a laundry service.
Art Villas is truly superb and exceeded our expectations - it is beautifully presented and the gardens are some of the best I’ve seen for a hotel (and not gimmicky at all). Breakfast was also amazing - wish we stayed longer as we missed waking up with the jungle !
Oscar is the best hotel s owner in the world.
He give us so many advice and we went together in so many places together around uvita. He helps us so much for everything.
Best place ever. I was looking for a place to sleep and i found a friend.
I love the place one of my best vacation all the staff are so friendly special luis bartender , Adan receptionist I would highly recommend and I’ll definitely go back I love Costa Rica pura vida!!
It was really comfortable and besides sleeping in a dorm it felt like staying in a luxury hotel. Everything was really clean and the kitchen was okay too. There was free yoga class!
