The hotel is super clean, mattresses are comfortable and kitchen is fully equipped. View is just breathtaking, you can enjoy sunset from pool. Owner and staff are friendly and responsive, feels like home. Just only one thing to be aware of is gravel road to the property that takes about 15 minutes

The property consists of approximately 10 individually designed villas. So, I can only comment on our villa. Almost new, could do with wardrobes or at least more shelving. Access road is 6km along a very uneven dirt track, steep in parts. Managed with a smallish 4x2 SUV, but you would def be better off with a 4x4. Beautiful views, birds and the sunsets were gorgeous.

We loved CanaVida, the property was beautiful, the condo was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The staff were very happy and friendly. We used the laundry service, which was fast and a great price. The resort also arranged a massage for us and they came right to our room - it was also fantastic! The location is far enough from the busy town of Dominical and Uvita yet close enough to go into for shopping, restaurants and entertainment. We highly recommend CanaVida Jessica and her team are wonderful!

The property was beautiful! The condo was comfortable, clean, modern and had everything we needed. The water was safe to drink, hot showers, BBQ. We used the laundry service it was quick and a good price. We seen monkeys, Toucans, parrots, and Morpho butterflies from the beautiful pool and lounge area. The customer service was amazing and everyone was very happy and friendly. They arrange a wonderful message for us and the therapists came to our room (it was SO GOOD!) the location is far enough away from the busy Dominical town, yet close enough for a visit and some shopping. Short drive to many beautiful beaches, gas stations, restaurants, waterfalls and shopping. Great communication from booking to check out. Jessica and her team did not disappoint!! Highly recommend CanaVida.

Great views with good amenities.
Hotels dot com screwed up the reservation, but Jessica at the property did everything she could and made sure I️ have accommodations for my trip. She’s there to help and does a great job at that. The road going to the site is dirt, but that’s expected in CR. The pool at the smaller condos is amazing. Infinity, with fantastic views and the right depth to hang out and enjoy life. Definitely going back there the next time I’m in Uvita!!

Amazing!!! Best View
Absolutely epic view. Incredible accommodations and very friendly staff. We had a very short stay and wish we could have been there longer. Highly recommend. The only challenge is the treacherous drive up/down the mountain. It is not paved and very rocky. You’ll need a 4x4 vehicle.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This property never communicated with me or sent over any information regarding my stay. There is literally no way to communicate with anyone there. We ended up driving 15 minutes up a dirt road to try and find the property hoping a manager would be there and there was nobody there. I have tried contacting the property through expedia, through their website and calling the “number”. Absolutely no communication. I got charged almost 300 dollars and I fully expect this to be refunded promptly.

Canavida is an amazing place and we’re really happy we found it. It’s brand new and the owners are slowly building the place out so we were lucky to be one of the first people to stay here. From the start, David had great communication and was super accommodating when our trip was delayed. He also kindly upgraded us to a larger villa and the property was amazing. The living and dining room was spacious and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need to cook (the sushi and sake set was also a big plus). Having AC in the main rooms was a big plus as it does get hot when the sun enters the property. The best part was definitely the view and the pool - it was a fantastic place to watch the sunset every day. David and Jonathane were helpful throughout our stay, answering any questions we had promptly. They also have great local connections and were able to hook us up with tours and a surf school. The property is about a 10-15 minute drive up a dirt road from the main shops and restaurants of Uvita. We were there in the dry seasons and had no problem doing it in our SUV in 2WD but if it was wet 4WD would probably be needed. David also offered to have someone go down to Uvita for us if we needed something picked up and didn’t want to drive into town. Overall we had an amazing stay and would highly recommend Canavida to anyone looking for a place to stay in Uvita!
