We stayed at ballena rey hotel for 2 nights. It is the best hotel we have ever stayed at during our trip in Costa Rica. WiFi and parking are free, and this hotel also features a beatifull swimming pool with a waterfall. Gilberto is an amazing and lovely host. He is really helpful and funny. We needed to do our laundry and he arranged to do it without any problems. We are highly grateful for that. The apartment is brand new and has modern design and the matress is really comfortable... we slept very well. It is totally worth it! We highly recommend it if you want to stay at modern and clean place and be surrounded also by lovely people.

We loved our stay at the hotel! First of all, the design of the hotel is beautiful, not only the overall buildings, but also the details. Also, the service was very good, including the check-in process, the breakfast and the room service. We always felt very welcome thanks to the friendly staff. Lastly, the hotel is secure, with the front door being locked all day, and the beach and some restaurants can be reached by walking.

We had an amazing stay ! Great location, quiet at night, clean, and a fantastic property. We did not have a car, and got around to restaurants, waterfall and the national park by foot. Sylvain answered all our questions and helped us get the best holiday in Uvita.

We loved everything about this hotel! It was beautiful and cozy, and had lovely facilities including a nice big common area with lots of beautiful plants, hammocks and sofas to relax in, and a pool area as well. The rooms were nice and clean, everything was in good condition and the staff and owner were the nicest, most helpful people you could imagine. A wonderful place to stay! We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Uvita.

El Castillo Luxury Boutique Hotel-

Top notch hotel with super friendly and attentive staff. We had a room with ocean view - on the first floor of the main building - we loved it. High ceilings, nice decoration, air con, safe, small fridge, closet with some shelves, balcony spacious (enough). The walk through the lobby into the infinity pool is breathtaking. Great breakfast. Also had dinner twice in El Castillo kitchen (as some other restaurants are not really in walkable distance (also due to the steep and dusty 300 meters) way up to the hotel)), we liked it much (Tuna, Mahi Mahi, veggie Quesadillas).

    Everything was perfect, our host was very nice and available for every questions we had. The pool and the terrace have beautiful view to the sea and you can observe lot of birds from those places. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel is very well located, close to Uvita and Park Marino Ballena.
