This property was incredibly beautiful. This hotel is more for couples and my husband and I enjoyed it. The food was amazing. Everyone on the staff went over and beyond to assist you with whatever you need. The atmosphere was great as well. The perfect get away to relax, reflect and restore. My husband and I would like to thank specifically Curtis,Emmanuel, Ivan, Alfonso, Noel and Francisco. Thank you!

Ok so I literally never leave hotel reviews but that changed after staying at Kura! First, I must inform you that it’s a trek to get there driving wise (have them come pick you up) but once you get there OMG! The ambiance is insane and they undoubtedly have the best view in Uvita! Hands down! It doesn’t even matter which room you get. If you are lucky enough to get the room with the shower with the view of the ocean I promise you, you won’t want to leave! We didn’t either! The food was amazing! And the service was A1! This resort is the definition of a 5 star resort! I would highly recommend! The pool was amazing and the red lights in the room really set the mood! Overall me and my fiance agreed that this was the best resort we’ve ever stayed at and we’ve been to other 5 star resorts in the Almafi coast as well! You won’t be disappointed!

Food is excellent! I have traveled many places around the world and have never had a place we enjoyed as much as Uvita, Costa Rica and the Kura Boutique Hotel!! A `10 STARS!!!!!! Will definitely return here in the future!

Kura is a beautiful hotel! I went for a solo trip and it was amazing but I do feel like this stay is for couples. Only because the facility only has a pool for an activity. The hotel does have excursions which include transportation for $25 there and back. Heading to the hotel there is a very steep hill that you must pay to come up and down from so I do recommend driving unless you plan on staying at the hotel most of the time. The food was also a little pricey and not much of a selection. There are about 5 different entrees that do not change day to day. Overall my stay was beautiful peaceful and quiet but very disclosed from a lot of things so I recommend having someone even if you do like solo trips

Für uns eines der besten Hotels in Costa Rica. Mit sehr hochwertiger Ausstattung und äußerst freundlichen Personal. Wunderschöner Blick auf die gesamte Bay daher hoch in den Bergen gelegen und nur mit Allrad erreichbar. Einen ticken raffinierter könnte die Küche sein. Etwas Schade wenn man die Suite 2 bekommt da diese von der Lage zu nahe am Restaurant liegt. Für uns überwiegt jedoch das Positive und es war ein sehr schöner Abschluss unserer Reise.
