"The staff was very friendly. The room was clean, the pool and the gardens were spacious. The restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced. Electric vehicle outlets are available for those with electric vehicles; just bring your charger."

"Beautiful clean property just as described. Close to the beach/ wildlife, supermarket, and restaurants. The little pool in the back was perfect for a cool dip on hot days. Kitchen included everything we needed to cook at home. Would definitely recommend and stay again on a future visit."

"The staff was very courteous, friendly and helpful "

"Amazing view of the jungle and whale’s tail from the balcony. Very secluded and clean property. The bird watching from the property was also top tier (bring binoculars, you won’t regret it). AC in the bedroom worked very well for a comfortable sleep. You will NEED a 4X4 if driving yourself up the mountain to the property!"

"The location of the property is beautiful, set back from the road and elevated for a great view of the Pacific. We particularly enjoyed the Happy Hour each day at 5:00 to enjoy the fabulous sunsets. The pool, the colorful plants, the toucans, tanagers, orapendulas and numerous other birds added so much to our visit. The staff was so accommodating and friendly. Our 5 days spent at Cristal Ballena were top notch!"

"Wonderful trip!! We brought 13 family members and it was great for all ages. The home was stunning and taken very good care of! The pool was so lovely.Patricia the property manager was a rockstar! Incredibly helpful setting up outings, always responsive, and very helpful on all recommendations.We went on three excursions, horseback riding, a catamaran dinner cruise, and an ATV tour! All were so awesome! The kids just loved all of them. We also hired Chef Pedro and his mother Lorena to make dinner several of our nights there, and OMG, worth every single penny! The food was out of this world.Highly recommend this place! We would definitely go back!"

" We stayed at Casa Oropéndola at Canavida Resort from March 31st to April 4th, and it was nothing short of magical. The property is absolutely stunning—tucked into the lush hills of Uvita with breathtaking ocean views and surrounded by nature. Waking up to the sound of howler monkeys and tropical birds, then taking a dip in our own private pool while watching the sunrise—unreal. The 2-bedroom home is beautifully designed, with a perfect balance of modern comfort and eco-luxury. Everything was spotless and well-equipped, especially the kitchen, which made it easy to enjoy meals at home. We spent most of our time outside on the patio or in the pool, soaking in the peaceful vibes. The location couldn’t be better. It’s close to the beaches, waterfalls, and the national park, but still feels totally secluded and serene. The drive up is part of the adventure (definitely recommend a 4x4), and the views are 100% worth it. The hosts were fantastic—super responsive and thoughtful, making sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and already planning our return. If you're considering a stay here—do it. You won’t regret it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!"

"My stay at this jungle resort in Costa Rica was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the lush surroundings, the peaceful atmosphere, and the incredible hospitality. The resort is beautifully tucked into nature, allowing you to truly disconnect and soak in the beauty of the jungle. A special shoutout to Dan, the owner, who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and memorable. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and always ready with great local tips and stories. Whether it was arranging transportation, recommending hidden gems nearby, or just checking in to make sure I had everything I needed, Dan’s warmth and dedication made a real difference. If you’re looking for a place to relax, explore, and connect with nature—this is it. I can’t wait to come back!"

"I can’t say enough about how great the property was and how Alejandro took great care of us the whole trip. If you are looking to visit Dominical this the place to stay. "
