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.
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!!
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!
I can't say enough good things about Yuli, what a great place to stay! The hotel is beautiful and has a phenomenal yoga studio, pool, and restaurant. I stayed in the dorm-style room and it had tons of space for each traveler. Very clean in shared areas and the rooms. Oscar at the front desk was incredible and went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. This will definitely be my go-to spot in Uvita
Beautiful villa. Nice and light. Very quiet location with the national park/ beach right outside the property. Just a few blocks away the town is much more urban, but here there are toucans and white faced monkeys across the street.
The very best part is the on site restaurant. Best meal I had in one month in Costa Rica.
I really loved the attention to detail in this property.
My sister and I had an amazing stay at Oasis Uvita. We even came back for two extra nights. Sebastian is an amazing chef (recommended to join one of his meals) and the whole family makes sure you have an amazing stay in the middle of the jungle. The beds are by far the best we have slept on in Costa Rica. Highly recommended and we would definitely go back for a third visit!
Fridge and coffee machine in the room and the shared kitchen was clean and well equipped with everything you need! The pool was lovely and the Italian restaurant was some of the best Italian I have ever eaten! Quick walk to the beach. Sylvia was very kind and responsive and gave us many great suggestions of things to do in the area! Would absolutely stay here again!
Amazing views. We saw white faced capuchin monkeys and all sorts of birds (including hummingbirds and tucans) from our very clean and comfortable room.
Very kind and helpful staff. They were even patient with my Spanish :-)
The restaurant had good food. The best Gallo Pinto we had during our trip so far.
We can definitely recommend the stay!
A beautiful place with top hosts! I had a wonderful large room surrounded by the beautiful garden. very clean, in walking distance to the national park, the hosts help with organizing activities. Best of all is the Food! Authentic Italian dinner and the most tasty breakfasts I had in all of Costa Rica! This is the place to stay in Uvita.
A cute hotel about 300m walk to the gorgeous Uvita beach! We stayed in one of the small houses, and it was small but plenty of space for 3 adults and 2 children. Comfy beds, friendly staff. It was nice that they cleaned and replaced the towels every day. The bar/restaurant had good food and amazing cocktails.
What an incredibly unique place. A very good value for money hostel/hotel just a short walk or taxi ride outside uvita. Lovely staff, clean facilities, terrific chillout spots, amazing terraces, a super kitchen for guests to use, and all in a very jungley location.
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 !
The location had the best view and the property was even better than we imagined! The host was super friendly, accommodating and met all of our needs. Highly recommend this property for a trip to Uvita!
Nice and clean hotel near the forest and waterfall of Uvita. Wel decorated, Cozy and calm place, Cool staff and clean dorms. You can walk to the forest and waterfall easily and enjoy the environment!
The Host Christian is the best of the world. He Looks so good to the clients and take care of them. If you are in uvita is of cours the best Place to stay!
Thanks Christian
Adriana and her family were the best. They took me in like family. She is a great cook, and the additional price MORE than fair. Will definitely go back!
