Bahía Ballena: eco lodge

La ubicación está bien, ya que queda muy cerca del parque nacional y las playas aledañas. El apartamento se encuentra en buenas condiciones y Christian se mantiene en buena comunicación desde el momento de la reserva, nos brindó instrucciones claras y hasta recomendación de un pequeño restaurante local que nos pareció muy sentó muy bien a la llegada. El acceso es algo estrecho, pero cualquier vehículo puede ingresar.

Séjour juste incroyable chez Carlos, le haut niveau, le très haut niveau, les cieux du haut niveau. J’ai beaucoup voyagé mais je n’ai jamais vu un logement de la qualité de celui dont dispose Carlos. Le meilleur logement de tous les temps!

Très chouette endroit autant les espaces communs que la chambre, je recommande les yeux fermés !!

Wir hatten eine gute Zeit und haben den Aufenthalt im Casa Colibri sehr genossen. Die Unterkunft hat eine angenehme Atmosphäre und vor allem auch eine tolle Terrasse, von der aus man nachts die Glühwürmchen sehen kann. Tagsüber natürlich viele Vögel! Im Nahen Fluss kann man sogar schwimmen und in der Umgebung tolle Ausflüge machen. Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße Katja und Christian

Christian’s place was fab…perfect for our few days in Manuel Antonio, close to the park and lots of restaurants (just a short drive away). Christian was very responsive and helpful and was keen to ensure we had a comfortable stay. Whilst a small space, it had everything you would need (other than maybe a second bedside table). The road to Christian’s place is a bit bumpy and easy to miss so keep your eyes peeled when driving to the location. Would definitely recommend…fantastic value for money!

I liked the place very much, it was a blessing, very quiet. The host was very helpful, I needed a good wi-fi connection and he was able to provide. There is a lot to do in the place and is also conveniently close to Manuel Antonio's National Park and other beaches. I appreciate he was able to accomodate us in such a short notice.

Manoas was by far the best place we stayed during our trip to Costa Rica! Not only were the tents huge, clean and comfortable but the staff went above and beyond to help us with everything Steve was great at communicating and gave us some recommendations for a local tour company before we arrived as well as directions to the property. The campsite is 10-15 mins drive from the Ballena national park and there are supermarkets on the main road before entering the road up to the campsite (you will need 4 x 4) Upon check in we were assisted with our laundry and I asked if there was somewhere to get hot water (for our baby) and they found us a kettle to use in our room. We were also placed in a private spot and near the restaurant which was thoughtful The tents were amazing! The bed was huge and the bathroom was lovely and clean! There was a mini fridge, plates and glasses so it was easy to eat lunch on the surrounding balcony The restaurant serves a 3 course meal for 20 dollars per person which is well worth it as the food is spectacular and you won’t get a more beautiful setting. Breakfast is huge and tasty and 10 dollars per person too. The campsite has a lovely pool, a walk to the river for swimming and a lagoon to visit. The cicada are amazing-we have never heard them so loud and using an app on our phone measured them to be around 70-80 decibels during the day! They quietened at night and the gentle noise helped our baby sleep as it acted like white noise. In the early hours of the morning we heard howler monkeys which was eerie but amazing I could say so much more about this amazing place but think it is best experienced. Definitely the place to stay in Uvita!

Excelente ubicación, lugar perfecto para descansar sin complicaciones. Christian muy profesional y pro activo, responde rápido y atento! Recomendado!!

Nous avons beaucoup aimé le cadre de ce logement. Niché en pleine nature, cela nous a permis de faire une réelle déconnexion avec notre quotidien. Ne pas oublier de faire des courses en amont si vous n'es comptez pas manger au restaurant a côté 😉

Great Eco experience. The sound of the river made for the best sleep ever! We didn’t want to leave. Cara and Marco were very welcoming and hospitable. Be sure to have meals at Donna Luz’s place.

grandiose Aussicht auf den tosenden Fluß, großzügige Zelte mit Terrasse, ausgefallen und geschmackvoll waren die sanitären Einrichtungen mitten in der Natur, perfekt ausgestattete Küche. Das Abendessen bei der Nachbarin Dona Luz war ein Erlebnis!

Unser Aufenthalt bei Christofer war fantastisch. Christofer ist ein sehr freundlicher und aufmerksamer Gastgeber. Wir haben direkt zuhause gefühlt, und haben die ruhige Lage und das wunderschöne Bergpanorama in vollen Zügen genossen. Alles war super sauber, die Küchenausstattung war eine der besten, die wir in Mittelamerika vorgefunden haben, und man sieht, das Christofer mit viel Liebe zum Detail sein Haus ständig verbessert und verschönert. Das jeden Morgen von Christofer frisch zubereitet Frühstück ist der Hammer, und gibt ordentlich Energie für Wanderungen in wenige Meter entfernten Nationalpark. Eine absolute Empfehlung.

Cerró Vuelto lodge is a fantastic place with fantastic people. The food was amazing and as a birder I was impressed by the many trails through different habitats on the property. The owners are very nice and make you feel right at home in the common spaces. Would recommend to anyone

Chez Carlos, nous avons été complètement plongés dans la nature, à vivre au rythme des magnifiques mangroves environnantes. Carlos est un hôte discret, très aimable et plein d'attention. Paola est une merveilleuse cuisinière qui nous a régalés de plats traditionnels pendant notre séjour. Carlos et Wilson nous ont emmenés traverser les mangroves en kayak, et nous ont accompagnés faire une très belle marche dans la jungle environnante. Nous avons adoré séjourner chez Carlos, le calme, la vue magnifique depuis la terrasse, c'était magique. Merci beaucoup!!

Un buen lugar para descansar y disfrutar del paisaje.

David’s place is paradise. He and his family have created the most magical space. It is utterly beautiful, and feels secret and untouched. The cabins are spread through the cloud forest, and all have lovely views. They are super cosy inside with loads of blankets to keep you warm in the cooler nights. We had an en-suite shower room with a hot shower which was a treat after a day of hiking the forest. The private trails leading down to the waterfalls are quiet and magical. Full of birds and butterflies. The common area around the pond and restaurant is FULL of hummingbirds, more than I have ever seen, we watched them for hours. Our children were captivated by them. David was the most wonderful host, he was so welcoming and kind, and made us amazing food. He even helped the children fish for trout in the pond and then cooked them for us! And to top it all off, we saw a quetzal from our balcony! This is the best place we have stayed in Costa Rica. It truly is a little heaven.

Brett was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. He even offered to pick things up for us and drive us to the other side of town. This spot is super cozy and perfect for bird watching.

I have no words to descrive this place. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Much more better than the pictures. Carlos is really welcoming. The food is very good at a very affordable price. Carlos answers very quickly and he will provide help if you need. I wont recommend enough this place. Its far in costa rica and maybe a bit difficult if youre going around in bus like me but i dont regret it at all. I even book an extra night because i didnt want to leave and just stay there to enjoy this place. Yes you can go to Corcovado park which i did but walking around there was better. I dont know what the rest of my trip will be but im pretty confident this place will be the highlight of it. Do yourself a favor and book at least one complete day just staying there, going for a hike maybe kayaking. This place is wonderful, so authentic, very private, a lot of nature and birds. You dont need anything else. Mucho Gracias to Carlos, Wilson and Dermila
