Our stay at this hotel was fantastic! Although there was a power outage in the city for about 2 hours during our stay, the staff handled the situation incredibly well, reassuring us that it was a common occurrence. The team was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The rooms were well-equipped, including a small kitchenette, and very spacious. The pool was a perfect way to cool down, and there’s parking conveniently located right in front of the hotel. The beach is just a 10-minute drive away, making it an ideal location for a relaxing stay. The breakfast was excellent, and we also had the option to purchase dinner, which was a great addition. Highly recommended!

Lovely sized comfortable room and beds, with a little patio area out the back to relax on and a walk in wardrobe in the room which was really helpful to hang wet towels in and store our bags. Quiet and felt very safe. Lovely pool and a large kitchen / communal sitting area which was really comfortable and had everything we needed to prepare a good breakfast and coffee. We had a great stay.

The place is easy to reach since it's near a bigger road. The dorms have AC and the WiFi seemed stable (14Mbps down). Staff is friendly and the whole building is super awesome. The "upper deck" is basically a big lounge where you can hang out or play a game. When I arrived I wished I had booked more nights. The bed and little pods were comfortable. Even though I booked as one person I got a 2 person bed. The kitchen has everything you need and the supermarket is across the road. The rooms are kept clean and the bed/pod has a recess into the wall where to light and power socket are. The art on the walls and the little signs really brings it all together. If you are looking to stay in Uvita I highly recommend.

Beautiful modern home with lots of space. Amazing view overlooking the ocean. Tucans would visit daily. Kitchen was stocked with all the dishes and utensils. The owner is extremely helpful if you need anything at all.

Jorge and his Father were very sweet, nice and relaxed. Their little house was cosy, good equipped and what's important - it was better and bigger than it looked on the photos. Thank you for a great stay and your marvellous hospitality - Pura Vida 😊

Ocean melody 3 is a perfect place to have a rest, because it’s super private. You have your own little house which is perfectly fitted with everything you need. Best part is the private pool with the terrace and the super green and covered garden. You just need to know that it’s necessary to have a car, because you need to drive to the next restaurants, supermarket etc. you can park your car inside and there would be even a charging station for e cars. Beach is a 10 min food walk or a one minute car drive. Very close to the whale tale.
