Whale Tail Hotel

Decent hotel room, choices of nice breakfast, very pleasant staff at reception and overall very relaxed atmosphere with lots of green trees, bushes and flowers. Also we spotted monkeys right overhead and 2 macaws fighting next to monkeys. It was spectacular!

When we first arrived we were a little disappointed that the rooms are so basic, and the bathrooms could have been cleaner. However, the rest of the hotel made up for this considering the price. The staff were very lovely, the common areas are nice and spacious, the breakfast has lots of freshly made options. The beds were comfy, air con worked well and the showers were hot. The one thing I wasn’t happy with was the lack of security box in the room. We were assured the property was safe and that was our impression as well, but it would have given us peace of mind going out for the day to know our passports were locked away.

The pool was lovely. Our room was wonderful; greatly appreciated the AC since the humidity was unbearable for too long for this Canadian family! The staff were ever so helpful and friendly providing popcorn to our daughters who were hanging with fellow travellers and answers to all our questions. Got to see lots of birds and butterflies on the property including a magical few seconds to watching the blue morpho circle the property and fly over my head. Most people had a car that were staying here at the same time as us which would have been handy to drive to nearby beaches. We got a ride with a fellow traveller to Whale's Tail beach. The nearby waterfall was really great and refreshing and not hard to find. More humidity and rain than we were expected at the very end of December so unfortunately left a couple of days early to go to cooler air of San Jose. The staff were so accommodating in providing a refund for those 2 nights as well as the Corcovado Trip we had to cancel as well (due to illness) :( :(.

The brewery attached to the property was very convenient.

This was my first time staying at a hostel, and I felt so good about my experience! There was so much available around the property, I felt so taken care of during my stay. Breakfast each day was delicious and fresh, and the brewery next store attached to the property was also serving amazing meals! I loved how the property was so close to the city center, so I was able to walk to all of the spots I frequently needed to visit. The location is prime time, and the rooms are clean and well taken care of. If you are looking for a spot that is super safe, this is it!

I had such an amazing time at the whaletail hotel! The space was exactly what my partner and I needed for an easy and convenient trip to Uvita for Envision festival. Breakfast daily from 7–9, a clean kitchen to safely store our own groceries with access to cooking supplies, and an abundance of hammocks that we used everyday! The location is so close to one of the best waterfalls in Uvita. On top of that, this space is walking distance to some of the best shops and restaurants in the area. This is a great place to stay & attracts a cool group of humans!

We stayed 7 days at The Whale Tail Hotel. The rooms were nice and clean. The hotel has a beautiful garden with a pool and a nice patio. They reception can help you with everything. They arranged to great tours for us (snorkeling and waterfall rappelling). The hotel are located close to nice restaurants and provide homemade juice free of charge everyday. The hotel also has a brewery that makes good beer. If you are visiting Uvita, you must stay at the Whale Tail Hotel.

Nope!! Not fabulous!! Not fabulous at all!!!
