Cristal Ballena Boutique Hotel & Spa, hotel in Ballena

Surrounded by lush tropical gardens, this resort offers a spa, an outdoor pool and Mediterranean-style suites with ocean views. The Ballena Marine National Park is a 15-minute walk away.

This is a great hotel. Rooms are large and well appointed. The pool is exceptional (very large with many special features). The location is close to a number of National Park Beaches. Restaurant was very good for the few meals we ate there. My favorite feature for this hotel was the exceptional Nature Trail they carved into the jungle. The trail is about a mile long and is very well done. Gives you a close up look at the jungle with minimal effort.

The hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome! They were super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed! We really liked the atmosphere of the pace, the decoration and murals really gave it the pirate theme. The hostel was a 3 minute walk to the beach and a grocery store (great location).

The staff was very friendly and helpful when we needed assistance! The staff cooked our breakfast to order and it was delicious and filling! The common areas had tables, chairs and hammocks! The pool was beautiful and had lounge chairs as well. There was a field for children to play on and a big swing chair! The tropical plants and trees all around was so refreshing and we loved hearing the birds and monkeys in the morning. The air conditioning was key!!

Hotel Cabinas el Tecal, hotel in Ballena

Hotel Cabinas el Tecal has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Uvita.

There are so many locally owned places to stay in Costa Rica making it a game of chance to find a good one, Tecal is a good one. When we arrived we found Tecal to be a popular destination as the parking lot was full. People used it for a vacation stay as well as for business. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff helpful and friendly. It was a short 300 meter walk to the beach. The beach is a national park so there is an admission fee, for Costa Ricans it is only 1200 colones. The breakfast was included and was very good. Service in the restaurant was excellent. There is a small super across the street, another restaurant, and a grocery store (MaxiPali) within walking distance.
