Very nice room with cable tv, Netflix, and AC. Location was good, with supermarket, park entrance, and restaurants within 100 mts. Free parking and friendly staff. The towels were very old, with holes in it, yet very good for exfoliating :-)
We didn’t have hot water for 3 days

Our stay at Cabinas Vive Uvita was fairly stressful. Although the location was close to the beach, there were a group of men who were on the street outside and harassing us anytime we walked by them. We were allowed to check in early which was nice, but we were only given one blanket for four people. After 6 or 7 pm, nobody is around to provide anything for you. When booking, we selected the option to pay at the property, but we had to ask several times if we could pay. I had to contact the owner directly in order to pay after we had already left. The best thing about this place is its proximity to the beach, but otherwise I wouldn’t recommend it.

Really liked Cabines Vive Uvita.

The hotel was a great mix of affordability, friendly service and comfortable. We stayed in the least expensive rooms which are older but good mattress, clean, AC and free WiFi. Hans and the staff are really nice.
