Yuli Hotel

I had an incredible stay at Yuli Hotel! The location is unbeatable – just a short walk from Marino Ballena National Park and close to so many amazing places. The highlight of my trip was the day tour to Corcovado National Park – an absolute must for nature lovers! I also loved visiting Playa Hermosa; it's such a tranquil and stunning beach. The hotel itself was spotless, the staff were warm and attentive, and the pool in the middle of the property was perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure. I can't wait to come back!"

I’ll preface this with a) my boyfriend and I are in our mid-thirties and are definitely not into partying and b) we probably should have read the reviews more closely. The good: - location was really convenient and close to everything you would like to do in Uvita. Literally 5 minutes from the beach/national park, close to great restaurants (definitely check out Fernando’s!) and activities. - parking was easy and stress free - staff were kind and accommodating - pool was such a nice perk and very obviously well cared for and maintained Now, the bad: - we booked a king bed and got…two smaller beds pushed up next two each other? The beds were really uncomfortable and kept separating. Not great given what we were expecting. - the music at the restaurant Saba’s is so, so loud. I understand the restaurant isn’t a part of the hotel, but Yuli promoted them for breakfast and it looks like there are multiple reviews complaining about the noise. If it’s harming your core business maybe it’s time to have a conversation with them about at least turning the stereo down and at THE VERY least turning the music off after 10. - on sound- the walls were paper thin. We could literally hear a person’s phone in the room next to us every time they got a text. - it didn’t feel like the rules on the pool were well enforced. We were woken up at 5:30am on our first day to a person loudly splashing around in the pool, which due to the aforementioned paper thin walls was quite obnoxious. Overall, we were just disappointed. The hotel is really nice looking but the rooms and the noise were just too much. If you’re looking for a party, sure go for it. If you’re looking for a quiet place to sleep, try somewhere else.

The rooms are ample and have nice AC units. The pool area is kept clean. The customer service is TERRIBLE. The person at the front desk won’t answer the phone or texts and disappears for periods at the time. They are rude and dismissive. I tried to get a room in a second floor (because I heard a snake was found inside once) paid extra, ended up on the first floor. No TV, minimum furniture, toilets don’t flush, towels are cheap, parking is small, the road leading to the hotel is very bad (bring a tractor)… and this is only me getting here… Where is the owner of this place??!! HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!

This place is fine is you like loud music all day long coming from the adjacent bar/restaurant. I red many reviews complaining about it. I guess they don't read it or they don't care. Beach is walking distance but you must pay. Just so you know.

Very nice hotel despite the restaurant/ bar... PROS: hotel is very new, clean, rooms are big and comfortable, the ones on second floor have a very cozy balcony. Also there is a shared kitchen on the premises which is quite convenient. The hotel is located very close to the national park entrance, and therefore to the whale's tail! CONS: definitely this hotel will do much better without that restaurant: seems like to owner rents the restaurant to someone who is obsessed with techno music, and plays it all day... sometimes you are loosing your mind, also the restaurant is empty for most but the music is so loud that probably is hard to have dinner inside so people leave fast. we liked the hotel but definitely the loud music makes you want to get out of there. we had all our meals including breakfast elsewhere because the menu is not inviting either. Second, we booked a king size bed, and found out there were just two normal mattress put together! Definitely a hotel with good location and nice premises.... hopefully they rent this to a normal restaurant so guests would want to eat there... and not run away from the restaurant :)

Perfect rooms, very clean. Beautiful pool and plenty of sun beds to sunbathe. Very friendly and helpful staff who have all the information you will need about Uvita. Also very good value for money if you are travelling solo and stay in the mixed bed dorm.
