Staying at Kura absolutely exceeded all of our expectations and was one of the most memorable experiences of our lives! We have stayed at multiple luxury hotels - however Kura is the true example of what a five star hotel should really be. First off let me stay by saying that the property is high on a large hill however, do not let the road deter you, the property and views are one hundred percent worth it! The room was so incredibly comfortable, clean, and luxurious, designed with incredible attention to detail. The cleaning staff was the best we have ever encountered - they would clean our room when we were at breakfast or out on excursions - and we would return to an impeccable room. In addition, we took advantage of their wonderful complimentary laundry service twice during our three day stay, which really saved us during our week long stay in Costa Rica. The staff is absolutely wonderful - which special shout out to Emmanuel, Maureen, & Alonso who all went above and beyond to make our stay so truly special. The included breakfast was so beautiful and delicious. The dinner options were fantastic. The beach is only a short drive away, and they offer complementary shuttle service if you do not have a rental car. They were so prepared that when we told them we had an excursion to Corcovado, they had a beach bag ready with compact towels and filled aluminum water bottles for us! Never have I seen such incredible and wonderful service. The only problem with this stay is that once we moved to our hotel at the next destination, all we could talk about is how much we missed Kura and how nothing could compare! You must stay here - you will remember it for a lifetime :)

The wine menu felt like it could have done with a few tweaks. Given the price point a number of the wines available by the glass should have been excellent and they sometimes fell flat.

The pool, view and ambiance were phenomenal in every aspect.

Nothing

Location, style, comfort, elegance, service, staff, peace, quiet, nature....but the greatest surprise was the chef and cuisine: THE MOST SPECTACULAR, FRESH, PERFECTLY PREPARED DINNERS one can dream of. (and we are picky foodies from ITALY!). We loved the 4x4 drive up to Kura, a lot of fun!

Everything! Our room had a beautiful view and was very spacious. The restaurant and poolside area is also very peaceful and stunning. The staff are super friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable of the area.

We had no water for 4 hours, it wasn’t their fault though. But still was quite uncomfortable without toilet. Right now there are constructions near the pool villas, so booking the villas you have to consider the noice

All the facilities and the view are amazing. The IPad for communicating and their quick answers was perfect. That you have a shuttle to the beach was also really nice. Right next to the pool and the room, you can spot a lot of animals.

Fabulous escape in a beautiful site far from town. The Rum Tasting experience was fun one afternoon. The staff was great finding toucans & shuttling us to the local waterfall. Our spa time was wonderful.

The lack of vegetarian options for dinner as it was sold out

The team is kind and helpful, always trying to make an unforgettable experience. It was our honeymoon and all details were perfect! The room is wow and huge, at night the team prepared it to be cosy. The view is incredible and the pool is amazing. We did a massage and it was extremely good! The drivers were really nice and pick us up and drop us at the beach for the a morning. Desserts were delicious!

The road was steep and unpaved getting to and from the Hotel.

The food was very good. Enjoyed every meal.

Stayed in August 2023

the access road is for the bold drivers and only for 4x4, steep and rough BUT there is hotel pickup/dropoff service by the hotel if you want to avoid this ride

Designer boutique hotel in a super location with combined ocean-mountain-jungle view infinity pool and , bar and dining area overlooking the Pacific very private and pleasant atmosphere

Nothing was lacking.

The Kura Boutique Hotel was no less than incredible in every way. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and loved well before we arrived. Each time that we arrived at the hotel we were greeted by the staff by name and with refreshments. All meals were superb. The view is unparalleled. I will repeat the that staff truly cared about every moment of our experience and did everything they could to improve our time in Uvita.

Location is mind-blowing and they had quite nice vegetarian food choices. i was able to see so many birds, animals, rainbows, epic sunset and thunder lightning from my room

everything! this hotel is stunning. the second you get out of the car you see the most amazing view towards the Pacific and the famous whale tail sand bar. it was difficult to take our eyes away from that view. the hotel is very quiet because there are only a few rooms, this means that hotel guests say hello all the time which was great - everyone was so friendly. the staff knew everyone by name. the pool is incredible and the whole place is backed by rainforest. we saw toucans 2 of the 3 nights we stayed. the spa is very special. the massages are incredible! we were very sad to leave this tropical paradise.

It rained for the majority of the time we were there Nov 7 to 11) and it was difficult to dry wet clothing. A drying area in the wet season for guest clothes and boots would be a real bonus!

We stayed for 5 nights. We had initially booked for 4 but as the rainy season was in full swing we left a remote lodge a day early in favour of an extra night of luxury at KURA. The views, the food and the friendly staff and the spa treatments were all excellent. We found the quality of the food and the choice available was the best of our entire two weeks in Costa Rica. It’s not practical to leave the hotel for dinner as it’s a long way from anywhere and that’s actually a positive. We found the quality of the food in comparison to everywhere we had travelled previously was excellent and the price was also reasonable. As Brits we really appreciated the pricing structure that already included tips and taxes. The menu options were varied and delicious. Special mention should go to Adrian who went above and beyond and pointed out wild life that we may not have otherwise noticed and to the team who repaired a puncture on our 4x4. You really need a 4x4 for flexible independent access as the road to the property is an 18 minute off road trip, up very steep hills. The price you have to pay for spectacular views and an infinity pool to die for! The hotel staff are super accommodating and with just 8 rooms it feels like a very personal private experience. If you don’t have a 4x4 you can take the Kura 4x4 shuttle down to Uvita with just 15 mins notice. We left with fond memories and a package of warm homemade banana bread- what more could we ask!
