10/10 Excellent
"We stayed 4 nights at this little gem. The staff gives away family atmosphere. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Mayra and I felt like she was family, super friendly and accommodating. The room was spotless, very cozy and pretty. The pool is very inviting and every room is facing it, as soon as you open the door it's right there, I would say the place is very Instagrammeable. Breakfast is delicious and they serve it hot for you. The location is very convenient, you can walk to a lot of restaurants, to tour operating companies, to the beach/national park. We had a rental car and it was nice to have a private secure parking spot for it, but the hotel has bikes that you can use for free and you can move around the area comfortably in them. You can book your boat tours directly with them as well. Also, we were talking to the owner and she let us know that they're working on building a spa, I'll be using it next time for sure as it will be ready soon and we're planning another trip in a short time hopefully!"

"Tiki Villas is a beautiful place with very helpful and friendly staff. Ana and William helped ensure our stay was comfortable and booked an excursion to Corcovado which was a lovely day adventure and a dinner reservation in Uvita. We loved relaxing with a delicious drink by the pool. Jose made a refreshing lemongrass and ginger tea that was my favorite. The restaurant was delicious for breakfast, lunch, and dinner- kudos to the chef in particular for the catch of the day and the French toast. Fernanda and Brandon and Jose were kind servers and nice to talk to. The entire staff was welcoming and went above and beyond communicating through whats app and making sure we had everything we needed, like preparing breakfast to go when we had an early morning start. The hotel has a lovely view and comfortable accommodations. We had four wonderful nights here and would love to stay again!"
