    Consider requesting room number 7 for a quieter experience, as it offers the best sound insulation away from street noise.

    shower pressure
    thin walls

    Room amenities could use refinement!!! Shower pressure abysmal with lukewarm water. Thin walls let in noise, making it hard to relax!!! A bright walkway instead of a true balcony adds distraction rather than comfort!!!

    It was just an appropriate option for a momentary pause in Uvita with good price-value balance. Kattia's support was surprising, as she helped us with last-minute tour bookings, which made things easier. Request room number 7 for a quieter experience if possible.

    Exceptional Service and Great Room for Friends

    During my stay, I was thrilled with the amazing service from Kattia, who went out of her way to assist with tour bookings and car arrangements. The Junior Suite was spacious with two large, comfortable beds, making it perfect for traveling with friends. However, I found the location a bit far from the main beach and restaurants, about 1.5 kilometers away, which was not convenient for us.

    low shower pressure
    distant location

    The Junior Suite was clean and well-sized, featuring two comfortable beds that worked well for my family. The access to a nearby pool added a nice touch for relaxing after exploring the area. However, street noise was noticeable at night, and the shower pressure left much to be desired, occasionally delivering lukewarm water. Additionally, the location was a bit distant from the main attractions, requiring a short drive to reach restaurants and the beach.

    The Junior Suite was super comfy with two big beds, perfect for my group. It was clean and just the right size. Plus, having access to the pool at Marino beach club across the road was a nice perk! Definitely enjoyed the stay.

    Great service with super friendly staff! Loved the easy access to the beach and nearby eateries. The pool area was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

    The shower pressure could use a boost, and some street noise creeps in, which was a bit distracting.
