We stayed at ballena rey hotel for 2 nights. It is the best hotel we have ever stayed at during our trip in Costa Rica. WiFi and parking are free, and this hotel also features a beatifull swimming pool with a waterfall. Gilberto is an amazing and lovely host. He is really helpful and funny. We needed to do our laundry and he arranged to do it without any problems. We are highly grateful for that. The apartment is brand new and has modern design and the matress is really comfortable... we slept very well. It is totally worth it! We highly recommend it if you want to stay at modern and clean place and be surrounded also by lovely people.

The owner David and the staff were amazing! They made us feel right at home, the food was delicious, and they truly care about the people at Cool Waters, so much so that they have a saltwater pool instead of chlorine. We came for our honey moon and my husband usually is not a nature person but the way the villas and cabin was in the jungle, he actually loved it as well! We saw cool wildlife and met amazing people all throughout our stay. We can't wait to come back!

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.

We booked this Cabinas D'val for our last stay in Costa Rica before going back to France. The goal was mainly to relax and go to the beach, and the goal was reached! Cabinas were super clean, everything was perfect, we did not meet Scott but Melanie was perfect ☺️ we had a perfect stay in a cool place!

There's an uplifted elegant energy throughout the grounds, from the security guard to the cleaning staff. Our two story unit smelled like rich wood. The layout was excellent design for safety, privacy, and super comfortable beds, chairs. AC was great in each bedroom, fans, curtains all clean and in great condition. The bathrooms lighting, hot water and linen quality were exceptional. It is worth mentioning that there we few mosquitos for Ojochal. The space is ample and well equipped for cooking or working remotely, even if there were several occupants. I could stay here long term. My 14 year relaxed. He enjoyed the pool, and commented on how intelligent the whole plaza was with a pharmacy, spa services, bar, store and restaurant all weaved together with hotel. We cannot say enough about the restaurant and we booked another night at end of trip because my son has to come back for more. Citrus is a gem. Families can relax and enjoy pool day, see many bird and plant species.

Everything was perfect, our host was very nice and available for every questions we had. The pool and the terrace have beautiful view to the sea and you can observe lot of birds from those places. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel is very well located, close to Uvita and Park Marino Ballena.
