This place is wonderful. It feels so incredibly private and peaceful. In fact, we hardly even saw other guests while there. The villas are lovely and the views are phenomenal. The villas have a kitchen which is fully stocked (plates, silverware, pots, etc) as well as complimentary drinks inside the fridge each day. The outdoor shower and tub are great. The staff are lovely. They take the time to get to know you and your names. They are very kind. The food was great. If you haven’t figured it out from other reviews, you absolutely need to have a 4x4 vehicle to get here! I will admit the drive up was kinda scary sometimes, but it gets better after you do it a few times. There are pretty steep dirt roads to get here. And have good brakes on the car for the way down! A few tips: -bring bug spray, there are lots of insects everywhere. -bring earplugs if you need to sleep in quiet. The wildlife can be loud at night! -there are shades over the windows in your villa, but they don’t really block light. The sun rises very early and it gets very bright. Bring a sleep mask if that’s something you need! -we shopped at the BM Supermercado right in Uvita, it was very convenient. We saw toucans and other amazing birds right from the hotel. You truly are in the jungle here, it’s amazing! I would definitely recommend staying here. Out of all the exploring we did while in CR, Uvita was definitely the best place to be! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3b390f63-ca6c-40ec-82dc-2b066b2df5f9-1750557831238.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ef39579b-2ea4-4510-8785-5d503404e4a4-1750557833417.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4cd9fdfd-4c62-49af-87be-9ebbb27ef966-1750557831995.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2e2f15c5-576e-403a-8acd-f457c76212f8-1750557835578.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Katie Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stefanie Jun 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at the golden pineapple was wonderful. My husband and I love to travel to new countries and hotels. This was by far the best place we have ever stayed. The drive up to the hotel does require a 4x4 vehicle. However, we did not view this as a negative. Nothing amazing comes easy! The views were spectacular and actually enticed to want to stay at the resort which says a lot as we typically prefer to leave each day. The food was great. And service was even better! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The previous negative reviews have unrealistic expectations or blame this property for things out of their control. I would definitely come back again and encourage anyone to stay here when visiting CR. So much to do nearby! Thank you Jessie for a wonderful experience. ##### Stefanie Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Melody Sep 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing beautiful room and views. Things missing that should be basic at any luxury hotel: no black out curtains so I was up at 5:50 every morning because of the bright sun (& no one wants to get up that early every day while on vacation). No luggage rack, no full length mirror, no tissues or Q-tips. No doormat in front of the room which meant we tracked mud into the room every day. No dimmers on the lights and no lamps so it’s a choice beteeen bright and complete darkness. I could go on but I think there enough. ##### Melody Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Klaus Jan 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very special and private place. Our villa was nicely decorated and had a nice private pool with view of the ocean. The staff was outstanding. First night we ordered room service for dinner. The breakfasts and the dinner the following night we had in the central building with a great view of the whale tale. We appreciated the quiet and very private villa while having access to a large pool and the amenities of full stacked bar and restaurant. A nice touch was the welcome sign and the artfully sliced pineapple as a welcome gift. One word of caution. This place is only reachable with a 4WD. It is impossible to climb up the hill otherwise. We highly recommend this place and will be back some time in the future. ##### Klaus Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JUSTIN Feb 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wow. Just wow. First up - Leo was our host and was awesome. Great work Leo! All the staff was great. I'm tired of booking hotels that look good in the pictures then turn out to be disappointing. Golden Pineapple goes the other way. It's breathtaking. Everything here is top notch. I won't repeat everyone else, the rooms are amazing. Outdoor showers, tub and personal pool - brilliant. You can sit outside, (naked if you want!), in your own suite surrounded by jungle mountainside watching CR birds and animals around you. I was worried about the restaurant prices being too high. They are not - in my opinion they match most other table restaurants or even lower than most other 4-5 star hotel restaurants, in my experience. And the food is excellent - a little more rich than fresh, but still quite pleasing. This hotel is on a mountain and the road to access it is too. Don't be a hero. You're not getting up here with a 2wd car. If the rentals are all out of 4wd then you're paying for the taxi. This is the only downside of being here, the taxis are now charging $25 USD per trip from the nearby town. (Feb 2024). That adds up if you want to go out a lot. But honestly, book this hotel just to stay in the beautiful room and relax! ##### JUSTIN Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great view and accommodations ##### Sandra Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lea Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staying at the Golden Pineapple villas was the highlight of our trip. Perfect location with walking distance to the waterfall. The drive there is a little steep at times, so just make sure to have a four wheel drive car to get there. The staff were all very friendly, had such great recommendations for getting around and navigating tourist areas of Costa Rica. They were helpful in me trying to practice Spanish and taught us some Spanish phrases used in Costa Rica and taught us about the Costa Rican culture. Very personable staff! Me and my husband were here on our honeymoon and it’s so hard to pick a place in Costa Rica because the options are endless- the Golden Pineapple is a true hidden gem with money very well spent. We had a private pool and bathtub which were both absolutely breathtaking. If you want a quiet, romantic get away and/or love being in nature I Highly highly recommend staying here! When we went to another part of Costa Rica we kept saying we wished we were back at the Golden Pineapple! ##### Lea Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander Aug 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great Resort ##### Alexander Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jocelyn Aug 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed 4 nights, 5 days at Golden Pineapple and wish we never had to leave. We felt right at home the whole time, from the minute Marlon picked us up from SJO. Marlon, Pablo, and Leo were seriously so sweet, friendly, and attentive the whole time. The property is beautiful and well maintained daily. If you choose to stay and relax the whole time you absolutely could with no complaints. They also help you accommodate any excursions or beach days if you like and will take you there for an extra cost. The food is delicious, you can choose to dine at their outdoor restaurant or room service. Everything we tried was amazing and the prices were fair. Gracias por todo! Siempre nos acordaremos de Uds con mucho cariño y nos vemos pronto! ##### Jocelyn Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorna Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely stunning property!
