    stunning views
    accommodating staff
    steep road

    I just spent four days at Vista Ballena and loved the stunning views from my room and the infinity pool. The staff was super accommodating and took us on cool excursions. However, the road up was steep and a bit rough, so be prepared!

    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Vista Ballena. The breathtaking views from the infinity pool were simply enchanting, and I basked in the tranquility. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, ensuring my every need was met during my visit.

    Climbing stairs can be challenging.

    breathtaking views
    repetitive breakfast

    The staff made our stay special

    During our stay at Vista Ballena, I was in awe of the breathtaking views from the infinity pool. Esteban and his team were so accommodating, ensuring our meals were varied and delightful, even with limited menu options. We spotted toucans every morning—such a treat!

    However, the climb up to our room was challenging, especially after long days of exploring. The breakfast selection could have been better, as it felt somewhat repetitive over our stay.

    amazing, amazing, amazing

    The view from the room was absolutely breathtaking, with the whale's tail visible from the restaurant! Enjoying a delicious breakfast with that scenery was a highlight of my stay. The infinity pool was a slice of heaven, perfect for cooling off while basking in the sun.

    strongly recommend 😊❤️

    cold breakfast
    no upgrade

    Vista Ballena was such a mixed experience, the breakfast was cold and even had burned pancakes! Very questionable for a place like this. Plus, I had to climb a mountain of steps, would it have been too hard to offer a complimentary room upgrade for all this inconvenience? I almost gave a good review, but just couldn’t.

    breathtaking view
    dog-friendly environment
    inviting space
    challenging staircase layout

    We loved the breathtaking views from the infinity pool! The space felt so welcoming, especially when we enjoyed our family time while watching sea birds flying by. Having a dog-friendly environment made our stay feel even more special.

    In my wife’s opinion, the staircase layout was a bit challenging with the luggage.

    friendly staff

    This place suits me perfectly, offering free Wi-Fi, a beautiful infinity pool, and a welcoming bar/lounge area. Staff helped my elderly parents warmly during our first stay. Make sure to try the incredible massages! I'm coming back for a weekend.

    It was just a commendable fit for a swift visit in Uvita with great value for money. One staff member was really friendly and made sure we had everything we needed at the bar. Bring your own coffee supplies if you want a quick morning fix.
