Playa Uvita is a two mile white sand beach with crystal waters that is ideal for swimming and water sports. Also a worthwhile place to explore is the nearby Cano Island where you will find a spectacular beach and inshore coral reef. Whether you are seeking adventure, leisure or pure relaxation, this area offers something for everyone. Surfing, horseback riding, scuba diving and kayaking through mangroves are just a few enticing options. For divine tranquility, throw down a blanket, close your eyes and be lulled by the sound of the ocean waves.

The hotel's thirty acres are designed with winding paths through a small park and hotel grounds. Bird watchers will get a kick out of the variety of bird species and families of Toucans that come at close viewing range. During the day, lounge at the huge 400 square meter pool situated in the immense garden area on the hill between the Pacific Ocean and the rainforest covered mountains. Conveniently located next to the pool is the "Pura Vida' Cafe and restaurant offering international fare and delicious beverages. End your day at the Temple of Relaxation with an outstanding massage.

Feedback from Travelers

There is no air conditioning in the rooms, so it can be very hot in the afternoon. The eco experience and the quality of food are some of the best we have ever experienced anywhere in the world!
