Top Bahía Ballena Hotel Reviews

Canavida Villas & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the place and Christian, the host on site, was great! We definitely had no problems at all. Thanks for a great time"

Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection

8/10 Good

"Beware of spiders outside and inside your room! There are poisonous snakes in the surrounding area! We came upon a snake driving into the property. After check out, I found a big spider inside a shirt that I hanged in their closet. The hotel staff failed to warn us about this. We are very disappointed about paying so much to have to be too cautious about poisonous snakes, insects and reptiles! It was our Honeymoon get away. We won’t go back!"

Bahia Selvatica Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Of all the places we stayed at in Costa Rica, this one was the absolute best value for money. We made a last minute reservation here for one night on our way back from Corcovado and I honestly regret not staying for longer. The property is small but stunning. They appear to not only have a pool but also a sauna. Everything looked exactly as the images online. Our room was comfortably sized, the bathroom was modern and most importantly had a bidet (which is someone I have sorely missed in Costa Rica since you can flush toilet paper). Staff was great too. Self-check in was a breeze. I will just say that the rooms on the upperw floor don’t have elevator access and so if you have issues lifting your luggage, then I’d request a room on the ground floor."

Hotel Cuna Del Angel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean air conditioned rooms. Very nice pool after a day of excursions. Helpful staff and a nice included breakfast. We ate each night in the restaurant which had a great selection of well prepared foods. Our waiter, Bernardo, was very entertaining. When in the area again, we will stay here again."

Luxury Jungle Villa~Honeymoon Privacy~Ocean View~Infinity Pool~Wildlife~A/C

"Everything about this property was as advertised and better! The property manager and concierge were extremely helpful and very efficient with communication. The view and solitude provided from the location were unreal"
