Cabinas Punta Uva was not at all what we expected. We first found out that the web site pictures are from an earlier time when the place was newer, fresher and not run down. We had requested an extra bed in our room so Guillium and Helena brought a mattress to our room and put it on the floor with... More

Before going to Cabinas Punta Uva, I read every single review I could find. Good and bad, I reviewed them all. For the bad or mediocre reviews, let me just say...Rain Forest! My husband and I spent 6 beautiful days, having just returned hours ago to our home in NC. Helena and Guillam are wonderful, I could not ask for... More

We are simple travelers, so we just get what ever comes in our way. We got here to this place in a lucky movement. We where getting to the area by bus and all of a sudden we just decided it was the right place to get off of it. We where literally in the middle of no where, so... More

After reading the great reviews from this thread, I made reservations for this room several months in advance. I've done research through TripAdvisor for a long time now and it has never before steered me wrong; but I cannot fathom why people enjoyed their stay at Cabinas Punta Uva. To be clear, we stayed at several places between Cahuita and... More

We stayed in the cabins for 3 days, and the place is very nice and relaxed. Its placed right at the beach. One of the closest spots i Punta Uva. Domingo, the host, is doing everything for you, helping out with all sorts of thing occasionally offering us beer and coffee. Glad i could help him back by installing a... More

Perfect dream vacation. At night we would listen to the waves crashing and the monkeys howling. Our Cabina was very nice, it had a small fridge, a balcony with table & chairs and a hamac. The property was beautiful and so close to the water. The monkeys would throw coconuts on our cabina. We saw lots of monkeys and sloths... More

This is a great Costa Rican destination. Punta Uva is on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. It is not as overcrowded and touristy as other destinations in CR. The beach is beautiful and this the THE place to stay. It is right on the beach and you can sleep every night listening to the ocean. Howler monkeys and sloths... More

Truth is it's a moral dilema- Should I really tell everyone how truly wonderful Cabinas Punta Uva is? or should I keep it to myself? Only because I loved the owner and people running the place so much have I decided to tell the truth.... It was perfect! Beautiful beach, quiet, and you will never sleep so well. Falling asleep...

Great location on one of the nicest beaches I have ever seen. Paradise. If you are going just for the beach, stay here. The rooms were pretty good, large bedrooms with bureau and nightstands. Bathrooms were fairly disappointing. Lack of water pressure, and often lost water altogether. That being said, we found times throughout the day to shower. We never... More
