Hotels near Marino Ballena National Park

"Un endroit magnifique et calme à quelque minutes à pied de la plage. Très bon restaurant avec un excellent service et des prix raisonnable."

"This place exceeded my expectations which is tough. It was with magnificent views, the villas, the food and the service could not be better. So zen and the staff Marlon A, Marlon B and Pablo were lovely. It is a hidden a gem."

" We stayed at Ballena Rey Hotel from December 14–18 in Unit 9 while traveling from Canada to do some scuba diving in Uvita, and we had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The hotel was very clean and well maintained. Housekeeping came every day to clean the room and provide fresh towels, which we really appreciated after long days of diving. The hotel is located in a safe and quiet neighbourhood. The property itself has a peaceful atmosphere and was never noisy. Our unit was on the ground floor beside the pool and restaurant area, but noise was never an issue. By the time we went to bed around 9 p.m., everything was calm and quiet. The bed and pillows were also very comfortable to sleep in which makes a huge difference. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and welcoming. The daytime manager at the front desk (we unfortunately can’t remember his name) truly stood out. He went above and beyond to help us with any requests, always greeted us with a warm smile, and genuinely cared about how our day was going. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Uvita! "

"Wonderful accommodation in Uvita. Lovely clean, modern, comfortable individual units in a great location walking distance to the beach and national park and lots of restaurants. Nice pool and excellent breakfast. Very nice and helpful staff."

"The owner was extremely helpful and available. She recommended great places to visit and excellent restaurants to try. The room was clean and comfortable, and there’s a lovely balcony overlooking a tree full of parrots ! Pretty central, 20 min walk from the beach and most restaurants, 10min walk from the bus station. Pretty easy to go around"

"Very close to the National Park. "

"Had a free weekend with the girlies during our month-long study abroad trip, and we could not have made a better choice than Tiki Villas!! The hotel staff, the view, the pool and spa services—absolutely no complaints from any of us. From the get go, we were treated so kindly; Nancy upgraded our hotel room when we arrived so we’d have more space, and the room was lovely. We had an indoor AND outdoor shower, and a balcony with a view of the ocean. It’s genuinely the nicest place I’ve ever stayed. The restaurant staff were also so kind and patient considering we’re a group of girls who are fairly new to speaking Spanish, and they always met us halfway (or more) with communication! The food and drinks were always amazing. They gave me a bag of dry rice when my phone got soaked at Parque Nacional Marino Ballena, and I was so grateful. They went out of their way to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and did not need anything. I definitely hope to return one day and stay for much longer. Two days was not enough. Tiki Villas has definitely been solidified as one of my best experiences in Costa Rica, and I genuinely don’t know how anywhere else I go will be able to top this place!"

"The food, the gelato, and the swimming pool, in addition to the kindliness of the owners, are all highlights. Good value, especially if you book direct from them and get the half board option, which is very much recommended."

"Stayed here for 10 days and loved it."
