Suites & Villas Calathea

Clean and safe B&B

Reviewed By mmayhemm

The rooms are clean and the place seems very safe, the owners/staff are really nice people. On some booking portals, this place is listed as 4* equivalent accomodation, which is wrong. It's a B&B, the rooms are basic and without aircon, bathroom looks nice and clean. What is actually lacking is some sort of space to put your stuff, being it in the main room or in the bathroom. Again, clean and basic B&B, reasonably priced.

Great little hotel!

Reviewed By robiel541

This place is great! Everything is newly remodeled and the grounds are kept so clean and pristine. There are only 14 or so rooms, so even at max capacity there are not very many people here at all. The room is on the smaller side, but really plenty big for 2 people. There are multiple shelves and one huge long table to put your luggage and spread out. I read one review that there is hardly space for luggage for 2 people and I entirely disagree. The bed is super comfortable, the best we’ve had on this trip having stayed in 4 other locations. The staff has been great. The restaurant staff is very friendly and polite. No, most of them do not speak perfect English, but guess what, this is Costa Rica! It’s so frustrating to see reviewers complain about staff in a different country not speaking English. Regardless of the language barrier, these folks did their job and they did it well. Food was great too! Really great outdoor seating and relaxing areas and furniture both poolside and beachside. I would highly recommend this place!

A Wonderful Retreat

Reviewed By SCCanuck

Our friends invited us to join them for a Costa Rican vacation at MVC. From the moment we checked in until our departure the staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive to every need. The full access to the Marriott resort makes this an even more attractive destination accommodation. Although the restaurants in the resort appeared to be short-staffed and we only ate on premise twice during our week stay, we were served quickly and never had to wait even when the dining area was fulll. Our waiters were knowledgeable and very professional. Our two bedroom villa provided everything we needed. The bedrooms are located on each side of the center common area. The bedrooms each feature their own kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave, coffemaker and dishwasher. Our room had a very comfortable queen bed as well as a lounging area with table and a sleeper sofa. The room had a flat screen TV mounted to the wall. The bathroom was sleek, modern and clean with the mandatory heavy duty hair blower for my wife. We had a pool view from our balcony. The other bedroom featured everything ours had but had a king bed and also a full-size washer and dryer. The common area had a full kitchen, a dining table for 6 as well as a living room with chairs and a sleeper sofa. There is also a balcony off the common area. The accommodations were first rate. We made use of the tennis courts once and enjoyed our time at the pool, where the staff were always quick to offer refreshments and food if need. The DJ had the pool rocking more than once! I am not an MVC owner myself but can certainly understand why our friends belong if this is any indication. A top notch experience in a wonderful destination with warm, friendly people everywhere.

Tucan Hotel

Located in Uvita de Osa center, near Bus stops, Supermarkets, Banks and Medical Clinics, the Tucan is easily reachable in 2,5 hours from San Jose’ by car and 4 hrs by bus, it’s 40 minutes drive from Quepos Airport. The famous "Whale Tail Beach", Marino Ballena National Marine Park, Waterfalls and rivers are 15 minutes walking distance from it. It has 10 private rooms with private bathrooms, Rustic Rooms do not have AC but all the other ones do! Licenced bar and restaurant on-site as well as a large swimming pool :D. Our clients love the relaxing atmosphere, the hotel communal spaces with gardens and hammocks, the surrounding waterfalls and rivers, the beaches and the beautiful jungle just steps away from the hotel

Fabulous place with great staff

Reviewed By alisaww

Great budget place in Uvita - definitely exceeded our expectations. The rooms are basic but very clean. But the community hang out space is amazing, with a great pool (and pool table, which we didn't use). They sold beers in the evening and free breakfast was pretty good. Wifi was strong, and it was an easy walk to nearby restaurants. You could pretty easily walk to the waterfall from here. We were a family of four, and it was one of my kids' favorite places in all of Costa Rica.

Bamboo Boutique Hotel

EXCELLENT SERVICE

Reviewed By Melanied523

We stopped in Jaco on our way to La Fortuna from Uvita. We were looking for an inexpensive place to stay the night. We are five star hotel people- and this place was just perfect for what we are looking for! From the moment we arrived she was so kind- let us choose our own unit. In the morning she makes you a fresh homemade breakfast and even brought it to our room! For $60/night you CANT BEAT THIS! Don’t be concerned with the outward look of the area as you approach the hotel- this place is clean and very well maintained. There is no view, it isn’t a “resort” if that’s what you are looking for. But it is a great, safe, and extremely friendly environment!!

Hotel Marino Ballena

Subpar

Reviewed By tdazzl

The pics and the price make this seem like you are getting a bargain on a fancy hotel but in actuality you are overpaying for a subpar motel. The walls are super thin so you hear literally everything. The rooms are super small. It lists a laptop station on amenities but it’s literally a stool in front of a tiny shelf. Oh, and light shines directly into your room without the ability to close any shades on the door. The beds and bedding are very nice and the staff is super friendly and accommodating.

Casa el Tortugo

A home away from home

Reviewed By 201gretchenf

Our stay at El casa de tortugo was warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. All of the staff were friendly and hospitable and went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. The property and rooms were always clean, the food at the restaurant was the best in town, and all of the staff were personable and accommodating. We were always greeted with a warm smile. They also were very helpful in arranging/scheduling a variety of tours to explore the beautiful ocean and jungle. English and spanish were spoken and We appreciated their patience with us as we were learning Spanish! We came as tourists and left as friends. We will definitely be back to el casa de tortugo, when we return to bahia drake.
