Hotel Cristal Ballena

Uvita


About 7km south of Uvita, surrounded by 12 hectares of private nature reserve and with sweet views of the coast from its hillside location, this blue and white boutique hotel is a top birding destination, with knowledgeable guides arranging birdwatching excursions. An excellent restaurant, light, bright comfortable rooms, vast, gorgeous suites and a tranquil ambiance complete the picture.

Two nature trails (800m and 2km) run across the property, where you're very likely to spot some wildlife during early-morning rambles, as well as some of the 250 bird species resident in the surrounding tropical lowland forest. The gift store sells colorful Boruca masks of excellent quality.
