3. Hotel Ballena REY

Bahía Ballena

"The Hotel Ballena Ray is a gem. While the overall vibe is laid back, the rooms are perfect for a long stay with kitchenette and other basic amenities. The breakfast is especially wonderful as is the staff. And the pool, though small, is wonderful and has a bar open in the late afternoon and evening. You can swim until 9PM, which is a nice bonus after a long day exploring the surrounding areas of Uvita, Ballena Marine National Park (5 minute walk from the property) and the surrounding areas....

"The location is perfect. We were a block from our whale watching tour, two blocks from the beach (parque nacional marina ballena), and there were some smaller but very good restaurants nearby.

Also recomment the restaurant La Boba La Ballena nearby."

Top El Socorro Hotel Reviews

Toucans, Waterfalls, Stunning Sunsets! A Jungle Villa, 5-8 BR, with full staff

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing trip and could not have stayed at a better property! The views were gorgeous, the staff was so helpful and the property has beautiful waterfalls that are not a hard hike to get to. Wish we could have stayed longer, but we’ll definitely be back and for a longer stay next time!"

Bahia Selvatica Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The place is located very close to one of the two entrances of the Bahia Ballena National Park. The staff was very helpful and willing to assist in any of our requirements. The place is well maintained and very clean. The manager was very professional and kind with us."

Hotel Three Sixty - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Another wonderful stay! The property was as lovely as ever and staff is superb! I love returning here each time. We had 90-minute massages that were incredible, I was so relaxed that I actually fell asleep. Can’t wait to be back there again!"

Lamangata Luxury Surf Resort - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We had the best time at Lamangata - the hotel is stunning. You can tell Hernan & team take immense pride in the property, as it's impeccably cared for. The pool is also an absolute dream. One thing to note is that the property functions a bit like a chalet, with a setup designed to encourage interaction among guests. If you are open to this, it’s a massive highlight. The rooms are beautiful and offer sweeping views over the vast forest all the way down to the ocean. The surprising highlight of the trip was the unbelievable food. Chefs Eladio and Tony make everything from scratch, and it's all delicious. For activities, my friend took surf lessons and had a fantastic time, learning a huge amount in a very short period. Junior (the head coach) is an incredible teacher. Even though I didn’t surf this time, watching them made me want to come back for a dedicated week of learning! Location-wise, the hotel is situated up a long gravel road, so having a 4x4 is definitely helpful. However, the hotel team is also great at getting you wherever you need to go. You can't walk anywhere directly from the property, but it’s only a quick 10-15 minute drive to the nearest small town. The only minor inconveniences were that the Wi-Fi and the air conditioning in our room could occasionally be a little unreliable. However, the staff always sorted it out quickly, so it really didn't impact our stay. Overall, Lamangata is a truly special place. I can't wait to return!"

Canavida Villas & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Un lugar espectacular para vacacionar. Tranquilo, muy bien equipado, hermosa vista. Sólo que se debe mejorar las indicaciones para llegar, la indicación no es tan precisa las aplicaciones pueden llevarte por un camino más corto pero intransitable para vehículos sencillos."

Yuli Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful place to stay, we loved it."

Cristal Ballena Boutique Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 5 nights at the hotel. The hotel has the most beautiful view of the ocean. The restaurant was great for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The swimming pool was beautiful. We saw all kinds of birds and animals in the ground of the hotel. Highly recommend for anyone staying around the Uvita area with a car."
