This is a basic hotel, but the location is perfect for the beach access and whales tail. Staff are incredible and there is a restaurant on site that is brilliant.

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

Fueron muy serviciales porque un día antes le avisamos que íbamos y que a llegaríamos más tarde del horario de entrada que era sobre las 21. Llegamos sobre las 22:30 y nos recibió un hombre muy amable que nos indicó donde estaba la habitación. La habitación era súper simple pero para una noche estaba bien. La cama no fue lo más cómodo del mundo pero se pudo dormir. Y la habitación tenía aire acondicionado.

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.
