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. It was easy access to the highway as well. We enjoyed the pool and the shower and A/C worked well. It was very convenient for everything we came to do. Also recomment the restaurant La Boba La Ballena nearby.

Staff was friendly. Location was great. Staff was very helpful in making local recommendations. Clean with good privacy and a decent bed which in my experience was hard to find in CR. Proximity to beach and the pool was great to have. We had limited time but Uvita seemed like a great town.

Close to the Nat. Park without being right in all the traffic.The pool and dining room were nice. Dining room closed Tuesdays so went next door to eat -not a good choice as we are still feeling it.

OK hotel near the beach, rooms near the pool are a bit small (bed is almost against the wall on one side and there's no bedside table or lamp on the other side, as there's no space), but overall a good option for staying in Uvita. Breakfast is an extra 5000 colones and has 3 options: granola with yogurt & fruit (they call is muesli but it's granola), Costa Rican (gallo pinto with eggs), and American style (eggs, bacon & toast)

Quaint hotel close to the beach. Small basic rooms at a good price. Small pool in the middle, nice restaurant. Easy walk to the beach, playa Chaman, part of the National Park. Shower did not have hot water.

We love hotel tropical. The staff are friendly and it is close to the beach. The Jaffe restaurant right on the property is yummy. The rooms are starting to show their age. Lots of minor broken things, a ceiling fan, the window lock, etc.

Everything about our stay at Tropical Beach was excellent. We arrived late due to a delayed flight and they made arrangements for us to park and receive our key after hours. The room was spotless and had everything we needed. The staff was friendly and helpful and went out of their way to help us with anything we needed. The pool was a nice respite from the heat and humidity and the restaurant on site was delicious. All that and it was affordable, comfortable, and, yes, they have hot water (I know this is an issue at some other places). We truly enjoyed our stay.
