Guest Reviews
- Elsie (9/5): -
- Miguel (10/5): Just perfect. - Waking up with the jungle literally right outside your window never gets old. The place was spotless and you could tell Cory and Aly genuinely care about it. They went out of their way to give us tips that we honestly wouldn’t have found anywhere else, and it made such a difference to the trip. Highly recommend staying here. Nothing.
- Joeri (10/5): Fantastisch mooie plek midden in de natuur. - Wat een magisch mooie plek is dit. Midden in de natuur. En toch met 10 minuutjes rijden aan zee. Het zijn maar 3 huisjes dus het voelt alsof je alles voor jezelf hebt. De huisjes zijn super mooi en luxe ingericht. Buiten koken is ook een pluspunt. Naast onze accomodatie stond een grote boom waar elke dag 2 toekans te vinden waren met 1 babytoekan in een nest. Wauw. Wij zouden dit iedereen aanraden. Dat we maar 4 nachten hebben geboekt.
- Tessa (10/5): Lost in the jungle - A beautiful accommodation surrounded by nature with a great, relaxing vibe.
Aly and Cory are very kind and welcoming hosts.
We saw and heard so many animals, including a toucan that nested right in front of our room a truly special experience!
A little piece of paradise, perfect for relaxing and finding your inner peace again. Nothing.
Nota bene: definitely a 4x4 ;)
- Lina (10/5): Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt! Die Bungalows sind top ausgestattet, man hat alles was man braucht. Die Lage ist sehr - Hochwertige Ausstattung, sehr sauber, sehr freundlicher Kontakt mit den Gastgebern
- Marion (10/5): Un véritable petit paradis ! - Lieu magnifique, au milieu de la nature. Beaucoup d’oiseaux.
Les propriétaires sont au petit soin. Encore merci ☺️
- Corinne En Jan (10/5): - Heerlijk verblijf met een mooi terras, waarvandaan je toekans , agoutis en allerlei mooie vogels en vlinders kunt spotten. Heerlijk zwembad om lekker af te koelen en onder de parasol te genieten van de mooie tuin Niets
- Alistair (8/5): - Location & peacefulness excellent
- Lorena (10/5): Perfect for a trip to Uvita by car! - Everything! The surrounding sounds and wildlife is super nice. We loved the pool to cool down. The hut was pretty cozy.
- Alice (10/5): Magical villa in the heart of the forest. Full of adventure. The full Costa Rica experience away from the busy town. - The property is in the heart of the forest and you’re surrounded by wildlife. It’s about a 10 minute drive up some hilly tracks.
The villas are super private with views overlooking the forest. You can see all the wildlife from your bed.
You have your own kitchen but there is a shared space where you can make meals overlooking the jungle.
You 100% need a car if you want freedom here, but sometimes we got a taxi to take us to dinner so we didn’t have to drive the roads in the dark.
Ali and Cory were so friendly and amazing hosts, they live just down from the villas and are there for any information and to chat. We had to pull ourselves away from Uvita. We loved it. Nothing
- Carol (9/5): - Balcony had close view of toucans nesting. Outdoor cooking right on private balcony and spacious air conditioned bed and bath with separate dressing area. Second cooking option - shared beautifully equipped kitchen with amazing view. Friendly hosts. Lovely pool. Easy payment options. Spent a day in Uvita close by. Great experience. Better directions needed. Maybe texted pictures to show turns and landmarks. Neighborhood roads are steep.
Driveway is a doozy. Straight up. We did it but not without trepidation and 4WD.
- Nele (9/5): -
- David (9/5): Superbe séjour, je recommande très fortement!! - Très belle propriété, en nature, possibilité d’observer la faune. Très bien situé pour explorer Uvita et ses environs. La maison était propre et spacieuse, parfait pour notre séjour. La piscine est aussi un gros plus. Aly et Cory étaient super sympathiques et nous ont recommandés de bons restaurants/activités. Je recommande fortement!!! Rien
- Ilse (10/5): - Amazing location in the forest, very beautiful view from the balcony, very friendly owners with good recommendations The road to get there is quite bumpy
- Vincent (10/5): Pleine nature, chic et moderne - J'ai tout aimé. C'est moderne, chic, et en pleine nature. La piscine permet une bonne relaxation. Il faut un véhicule pour accéder au lodge.
- Maren (10/5): -
- Sjoerd (10/5): -
- Sarah (10/5): We had a lovely time at The Sutton. The perfect distance from town, in the beautiful jungle where you could hear and see - The property was tucked away up in the mountains, clean, great amenities, and the perfect amount of space.
- de Vries (10/5): - Een prachtig verblijf omringd met natuur en geweldig personeel dat voor je klaar staat. De kamers waren ruim en schoon, veel ramen waardoor je het gevoel hebt dat je 1 bent met de natuur. Dit was voor mij de eerste keer alleen op reis en heb mij hier enorm veilig en welkom gevoeld.
- Julia (10/5): - Absolut zu empfehlen! Wahnsinnig tolle Unterkunft, sehr gepflegte Anlage, viel Privatsphäre, komfortables und grosses Bett, super Lage.
Die Inhaberin ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir würden diese Unterkunft definitiv wieder buchen!
- Marlène (9/5): - L'endroit un peu excentré permet de se retrouver dans un peit coin de paradis avec la flore et la faune pour tout paysage.
S'endormir avec les sons de la nature est tout a fait exceptionnel.
Nous avons adoré l'endroit, les lodges, l'architecture,
En un mot... tout ainsi que les hôtes qui répondent rapidement à chacune de nos interrogations..
Nous recommandons sans hésiter ce lodge. Peut-être la route pour arriver au lodge, un peu chaotique mais courte.. et nous avions un 4×4, alors aucun problème ..
- Benjamin (10/5): Fabuleux ! - Le propriétaire est très gentil , prend le temps de discuter lors de notre arrivée
Panier de fruits à notre disposition et de l’eau fraîche
Literie très confortable !!
Chambre très propre et bon équipement
Logement intimiste
Nécessite de posséder 4x4 pour l’allée sinon possibilité de se garer en bas de la pente
Singes hurleurs aperçus de notre terrasse, ce fut très agréable Ras
- Thera (8/5): Prima dagen gehad. - Mooi huisje, vriendelijke gastvrouw en gastheer, behulpzaam ook. Ze gaven goede tips voor de omgeving.
Heel leuk dat we het fruitafval zo over het balkon mochten gooien. Locatie is wat lastig gelegen als je buiten de deur wilt eten. Donkere soms steile weg nasr accomodatie. Er was een simpele kookgelegenheid en daar hebben we gebruik van gemaakt.
- Frédérick (10/5): -
- Gabriele Haupt (10/5): Komfort mitten in der Natur! - Eine Unterkunft mitten in der Natur mit allem Komfort. Eine gute Unterkunft um Umgebung zu Erkunden - Wasserfälle und Naturschutzgebiet. Wir waren total begeistert. Sehr schön eingerichtet. Es fehlt an nichts. Die Gastgeber sind sehr hilfsbereit. Wir haben gute Restaurants- und Ausflugstipps bekommen. Der Weg war ein wenig holprig. Um auf den Parkplatz zu kommen benötigt man 4x4 Antrieb. Das wurde uns vorher aber mitgeteilt. Wir hatten damit aber keine Probleme.
- Janna (9/5): -
- Beaulieu (9/5): - La cuisinette extérieure est très agréable. L'environnement est propice pour admirer différents animaux et oiseaux. La piscine est propre et à proximité. Malgré la proximité des autres hébergements l'aménagement des lieux fait en sorte que c'est très calme et intime. L'hôte est soucieux du bien être des clients. Un 4x4 est requis. L'accès à l'hébergement est très en pente abrupte.
- vincent (10/5): À faire absolument magnifique - Tout etait parfait L accueil , la chambre spacieuse et très jolie qui donne sur la jungle , terrasse avec petite cuisine , la piscine avec un jardin magnifique , c était un petit paradis , de loin notre plus belle chambre de nos 3 semaines
Juste prévoir un SUV ou 4X4 car l accès est chemin de terre
- J (10/5): -
- Els (9/5): Great choice for Uvita - Very friendly couple. Beautiful place, conveniently close to the center and the beach. Stylish villas and great place for outside cooking. We also loved the fruits and saw a few animals around:)
- Sarina (10/5): - Herzliche, zuvorkommende und sehr hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Die schönste Unterkunft unserer Reise. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Toller Pool, hatten ihn oft für uns alleine. Eigene Outdoorküche, sowie grössere Küche zur Nutzung für alle drei Parteien. -
- Pam (10/5): Would definitely stay again. - We loved the location in the jungle. I am an avid bird watcher and this was the perfect place to see and hear so many species of birds Initially unsure about no bedroom blind but quickly realised one wasn’t necessary as so private and so dark at night
- Édouard (9/5): - The place was amazing
- Marie (10/5): - Such a lovely place - we loved every minute of our stay! In the nature with Tucans greeting us for breakfast, very clean place with wonderful hosts. A nice pool and a beautiful garden. Just as lovely as in the pictures, the perfect boutique jungle experience!
- Jérôme (10/5): Un joyau au milieu de la jungle - Un accueil très chaleureux, un cadre magnifique et une villa confortable et très bien aménagée. Excellent rapport qualité prix
- Benjamin (10/5): Parfait!!!! - Tout, l’emplacement incroyable, le confort et la propreté des lieux. Le cadre est magnifique, piscine, jardin somptueux. Possibilité de voir de nombreux animaux. Aly et Cory sont toujours disponibles si besoin. J’ai fait environ plus de 200 voyages dans plus de 60 pays, je pense que ce logement est dans mon top 3 sans hésitation. Rien
- Evelyne (10/5): - Alles!!! Viele Tiere zu beobachten und hören. Toll zum erholen. Pool. Nähe zu viele Ausflüge. Wir empfehlen Santa Lucia Waterfall.
- Thomas (9/5): - Great place overall! Cory is such a genuine, nice guy and gave us great food and drinks recommendations. Room is fully equiped and looks great. At dusk, you can also spot a lot of birds
- Marianne (10/5): - Super schöne Lodge mit allem was es braucht. Schöne Aussicht in den Wald. Ruhig. Toller Pool und sehr nette Gastgeber. Die Aussicht vom Bett in den Wald ist wunderschön, jedoch würde ich mir gleichwohl wünschen, dass man mit einem Vorhang zumachen könnte.
- Fernando (10/5): Un moment magique ! - Le superbe logement niché dans les arbres; On se réveille au petit jour au son des singes hurleurs. La piscine au milieu de la végétation et la situation géographique permettant de rayonner. Et enfin, Alyson et Cory qui donnent plein de bons conseils pour les visites et les restaurants. Merci à eux deux.
- Florence (10/5): Un petit coin de paradis - La chambre qui grâce à ses grandes baies vitrées donne sur un magnifique jardin, le grand lit très confortable, la terrasse privative qui permet de pouvoir profiter de l’extérieur en toute intimité, la piscine et les oiseaux. Rien, tout était parfait.
- Michiel (10/5): Boutique jungle experience is het precies! - Het is een fantastische idyllische lokatie, in de jungle. Geweldig met alle geluiden, en heerlijke rustig vanwege de ligging. Zeker aan te raden. Overall is aan gedacht, Cory en Ali regelen alle requests. Fantastisch
- Mattea (10/5): - Location
- Helene (10/5): MÉMORABLE ET MAGNIFIQUE - « J’ai vraiment adoré la tranquillité du lieu et le fait de pouvoir observer les animaux de la jungle directement du balcon, c’était magique. Les hôtes ont été incroyables : super sympathiques et toujours prêts à aider avec de bons conseils. Je reviendrais ici n’importe quand, c’est certain. » « En plus, tout est à proximité, ce qui rend le séjour encore plus simple et agréable. » Absolument rien toute était parfait
- Volker (10/5): Tolle Appartements mit gehobener Ausstattung und Pool in idyllischer, ruhiger Lage, mit vielen Tieren als wäre man mitte - Alles war perfekt. Wir haben alle Tiere, die wir im
Corcovado Nationalpark gesehen haben auch von der Terrasse aus sehen können. U.a. Affen, Papageien, bunte Vögel, Nasenbären uvm. Dazu ist die ruhige private Lage ein Traum. Die Gastgeber waren super freundlich und haben uns sogar mit ihrem 4x4 Jeep die letzten steilen 20 Meter zur Anlage das Gepäck hoch- und wieder runtergefahren. Man kann aber auch ohne 4x4 Auto anreisen und dann einfach wie wir die 20 Meter weiter unten neben der Anlage parken. Alles war perfekt.
- LOAN (10/5): - Nous avons pleinement profité de ce logement moderne et bien pensé tourné vers la foret pour un maximum de tranquillité.
La piscine est vraiment agréable.
Les propriétaires sont gentils et disponibles.
Nous recommandons!
- Richard (10/5): - Herrliche Lage
Viele Tiere von der Terrasse aus gesehen, die wir auf den bezahlten Touren vermisst haben
- Casper (10/5): Fantastisch - De locatie is fantastisch, de lodges zijn zeer comfortabel. We hebben deze locatie gekozen op basis van voorgaande referenties en daar is geen woord aan gelogen. Cory is een geweldige gastheer, vriendelijk en behulpzaam. 4x4 is wel handig om dicht bij de logde te parkeren
- HLV1989 (9/5): Beautiful, comfortable, friendly owners - Beautiful cottages with jungle view. Very comfortable, big beds, nice shower, a patio and kitchenette and also an shared space with fully equipped kitchen. Nice pool area and beautiful garden. Friendly and accommodating owners. You're a bit outside Uvita so definitely need a cat to go anywhere but in return you get beautiful surroundings and peace and quiet so we didn't mind the trade off.
- Muñoz (9/5): A really good experience and Cory was very nice and helpful - A unique experience in the nature Need a 4x4 to get there
- Lex (10/5): - We initially booked only 3 days at the sutton, but immediately after arrival extended to one week. Why? Because its simply that good. This is the place you dont want to rate 10/10 because you want to keep it to yourself. Nothing
- Bas (9/5): Superfijn verblijf! - In het echt is het mooier dan op de foto's die we zagen. We zouden een 9,5 geven maar dat gaat niet, dus een 9. De accommodatie is heel mooi afgewerkt, schoon, modern en met een hele handige indeling: Fijn groot bed, hierachter een aparte douche, een apart wastafel gedeelten, een apart toilet en een handige 'inloopkast' voor je kleding. Het is geheel voorzien van airconditioning en ventilatoren. Ook ventilatoren op het terras. Het huisje waarin wij sliepen had een prachtige ligging met de jungle aan het terras. De tuin is prachtig, het zwembad fijn. Veel privacy want de huisjes liggen uit elkaar met de tuin ertussen. Verder kun je naast een eigen keukentje dat op je terras mooi overdekt ik gebruik maken van een grote gezamenlijke buitenkeuken. Hele aardige eigenaren. Oh ja, 4x4 is nodig maar daar kun je in heel Costa Rica eigenlijk niet zonder! Dus huur een 4x4 anders kun je op veel plekken niet komen of ben je lang onderweg. We hebben het aan vrienden aangeraden, die ook gaan boeken en raden deze plek ook aan anderen aan. In de gezamenlijke keuken mogen echt nieuwe snijplanken komen. Maar is een mini detail. Het is een geweldige plek!
- Friedrich (10/5): - My wife and I stayed 5 nights in the Sutton and it’s definitely an experience we will never forget for the rest of our lives. Aly and Cori were great hosts and gave us a lot of good recommendations: if you have the chance, definitely book a whale watching tour with Esteban.
For the most of our stay we even had the common kitchen spaces and the pool for ourselves and made very good use of it.
It was one of the most comfortable beds I ever slept in and waking up in the middle of the jungle with such a view is definitely something else. During the breakfast on our last day we could see some white faced monkeys from very close up.
- Vincent (10/5): Un séjour de rêve ! - Les bungalows sont vraiment top, bien aménagés et très propres, la terrasse personnelle est un vrai plus, l’accès au rancho est un must et la piscine très agréable L’accès depuis la route principale est plutôt escarpé et un 4x4 est indispensable
- Ines (10/5): Schöne Unterkunft - Sehr schöne, saubere Unterkunft mit kleinem und sauberen Pool. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
- Llancel (10/5): Tranquilo - Muy limpio y bonito Una entrada compleja para carros Bajitos o que no sean doble tracción
- Rachel (10/5): A hidden gem - In our top 3 places we stayed in CR. Each self catering lodge is beautifully designed, spotlessly clean and surrounded by gorgeous plants, giving you privacy yet all close to the shared pool. Each has its own kitchen area and there's a beautiful shared outdoor kitchen so you can prepare your own meals. Its up on the mountain in a quiet residential area and the Canadian owners are super helpful with restaurant and activity recommendations.. We would have loved to have stayed longer as its also superbly located between Uvita and Domenical, so plenty to explore. Nothing! My teenager would have liked curtains on the sliding doors, so the morning sun didn't wake her up, but I loved waking up to a view of the jungle!
The driveway is steep and does require 4x4, but we parked at the bottom and walked the 30 seconds up the drive, which was no problem at all.
- Viktor (9/5): -
- Teresė (10/5): - A very modern and comfortable villa with a wonderful jungle atmosphere and a true sense of relaxation. The fully equipped kitchen allows you to cook your own meals. The pool is clean and perfect for a refreshing morning dip or relaxing by during the day. The hosts are helpful and attentive. Great location for exploring the nearby national parks. Nothing.

- Edvard (10/5): Paradise Rediscovered: Our Perfect Return to The Sutton - Three years later, The Sutton – Boutique Jungle Experience remains an absolute dream! Returning felt like coming home to paradise, and every detail was just as impeccable as we remembered—if not even better.
Once again, we found ourselves staying in one of the stunning houses perched on the lush mountain slope above Playa Hermosa, where the sunsets are nothing short of magical. The patio continued to be our favorite spot, offering mesmerizing views of the jungle teeming with vibrant birds—a birdwatcher's ultimate haven. The casita’s elegant design, dreamy beds, and thoughtful touches made it impossible not to relax completely. And yes, the walk-in closet still made us feel extra pampered!
Ali & Cory’s hospitality remained unmatched. Their recommendations led us to new adventures and hidden gems, reinforcing why they’re the ultimate hosts. We enjoyed every moment spent at the property—from the refreshing dips in the pool to lively evenings at the rancho, where we cooked, laughed, and shared stories with fellow guests.
The location continues to be ideal, allowing guests to visit not only close spectacular sites like Nauyaca Waterfalls and Manuel Antonio National Park but also venture further to Corcovado National Park and Caño Island, making it easy to explore even more breathtaking corners of Costa Rica. And, of course, the neighborhood’s best Italian restaurant at the foot of the hill did not disappoint!
After four visits to Costa Rica, The Sutton is still one of the most exceptional stays we’ve experienced. A million thanks once again, Ali & Cory—you’ve created something truly special. We can’t wait to return!
Eddie & Gilles
- Ross (10/5): A calm oasis to relax, unwind and enjoy the lush environment around you. - Beautiful location among the trees of the rainforest with a lovely pool to cool off in. It was very quiet and peaceful and so relaxing having a swim first thing in the morning or at the end of the day with birds darting about.
The pool was really clean and the accommodation was spacious with a great terrace area to sit outside which included cooking facilities too. Most importantly the bed was large and extremely comfortable. Nothing
- Bethany (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anca (10/5): Three days in Paradise - The location, the villa and the hosts Aly and Cory were great! A dream place and very nice people ! The location and the nature surrounding it!
- Calderwood (10/5): A special place which we will never forget - Such an amazing location and the owners Cory and Aly were so welcoming and so helpful, nothing was too much to ask. We would go back in a heartbeat. The surroundings and the wildlife around the property were really special. The property was comfortable and clean, with everything you need available. Couldn’t fault anything. Nothing
- Melluish (10/5): Paradise - This was the last place we stayed on our trip and was the perfect place to unwind at the end. Really is a special place and the Sutton family really go to every effort to make you feel at home. They gave great food recommendations, local tips and advice, and responded to every request promptly. Our balcony felt so private and the full fruit bowl on arrival was a really nice touch. We really enjoyed throwing excess fruit over the side of our balcony and watching the agoutis come and eat it.
Pool was fabulous Just a slight warning that the drive up to the property is a little bit steep so in smaller cars might be necessary to walk up to the accommodation rather than drive up. Not an issue though.
- Gill. (10/5): A perfect oasis - Communication from the hosts was excellent with a link to Waze for a smooth,easy journey. We arrived to a warm greeting from the Canadian hosts Cory and Aly, who showed us around the stunning acccomodation. The 3 cabinas are perfectly positioned so that they look-out towards the jungle so you never feel overlooked. The deck gives a fabulous view over the jungle which is a perfect spot for relaxing and bird spotting in luxurious comfort! The little kitchette has everything you need for breakfast including fridge, toaster and two ring burner. Then if you want to stay in and cook dinner there is a fully fitted kitchen for everyones use.
I loved the position of the super king bed which looks straight out onto the jungle! Heavenly, drinking an early morning cuppa whilst listening and watching the jungle.
The room is well appointed with plugs,mirrors and lights all working and in the right place! Even the dressing area is well thought out.
The pool is a delight! Again , well designed with steps and seating zones plus you can still swim! 6 quality sunbeds plus umbrellas and soft pool towels. This heart of the complex is surrounded by beautiful planting including a stunning bizmark palm. Birds happily feed from the banana trees and create constant entertainment!
Overall, an absolute oasis! Its rare to find somewhere so well designed whilst still retaining its individual charm created by the perfect hosts.
We will definitely be back! Leaving
- Dimitrischreiner (10/5): A must-stay for its natural beauty, comfort, and the warm hospitality of the owners - We rented the entire property for our family of six adults and had an incredible experience. The property is a little oasis in the middle of the jungle, yet it’s only 10–12 minutes from the center of Uvita. It offers a unique opportunity to see a variety of wildlife and immerse yourself in the sounds of the jungle.
This place is perfect for a group of three couples or a family, as it provides privacy with individual lodges. Each lodge is fully equipped with air conditioning, towels, hot showers, a kitchenette, and a dining table. There’s also a communal open-air lodge with a fully equipped kitchen (minus an oven), where we spent every evening cooking and enjoying meals together. It was such a highlight of our stay!
Overall, this property is a must-stay for its natural beauty, comfort, and the warm hospitality of the owners. Highly recommended!
- Janet (10/5): Exceptional -
- Igor (10/5): Highly recommended. - Beautiful place. Peaceful, quiet, an ultimate relaxing experience … Highly recommended…
- Lee (7/5): Difficult to get there, but beautiful views in the heart of nature. - The views are amazing. The cabin was very clean. We loved sitting on the deck during the rain showers. We liked the outdoor kitchen area. The king size bed was really comfortable. Corey and Aly were great hosts! There are no chairs to use in the room. You only have the bed to sit on when you are in the room. There is a small table and 2 chairs outside on the deck. There was no tv available. The drive up the mountain can be a challenge.
- Patricia (10/5): Wonderful - Beautiful with great facilities
- Hansi (10/5): Would stay definitely again. - It’s very private and the location in the nature is amazing.
- Lara (10/5): Quiet and beautiful location - We loved everything about this property. It was so beautiful, quiet, and you are surrounding by nature. Cory was so welcoming and helpful, and we loved the bowl of fresh fruit upon arrival. He gave us lots of suggestions about the Uvita area. We had the best meal at Seba’s thanks to his suggestion. We enjoyed chatting with him each day.
We loved seeing toucans and green parrots right off our porch and hearing the howler monkeys. Uvita is the most beautiful place and we will be back.
- Susan (10/5): Wonderful place, relaxing, great pool and super welcoming and helpful hosts. Highly recommend! - Everything! Nothing!
- Kinga (10/5): Absolutely the best! - Everything was absolutely amazing! It was our the best accommodation in Costa Rica (we had a few!). Please remember you need 4x4. To be almost you need this in whole Costa Rica.
- Tim (10/5): An amazing private jungle experience! - We couldn’t have imagined a better place to stay in Uvita than at The Sutton. Located in the middle of the jungle just outside Uvita (10-15 min drive by car), it offers modern rooms with everything you could need such as a private terrace, A/C, cooking supplies and a great swimming pool. Coming “home” after a full day of exploring Uvita and Dominical didn’t simply mean to return to the hotel, but it felt like an experience on its own to enjoy the evenings on our private terrace looking out over the jungle and hearing nothing but the jungle sounds.
Furthermore, Aly and Cory are the best. They live just downhill making that they are close enough to help out with anything that might come up, but “far enough” to retain the private feel of the house. You can reach out to them for anything at all and they give great (restaurant) recommendations!
- Matthew (10/5): Great hosts and facility - It was open and private. We really enjoyed our stay
- John (10/5): Jungle retreat - We loved waking up listening to the jungle waking up for the day.
Cory was so chatty he made us feel very welcome.
We loved the outside kitchen All good

- Francesco (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing place!
- Dominika (10/5): Exceptional - It was just 👌, we stayed a week. Cary and Aly are super lovely Canadians who give you all the recommendations needed to have a good time around Uvita (we recommend Corcovado + Waterfall + Beach Uvita), Sunsets are a most! But it's also just lovely to stay in the pool area, the kitchen place is also amazing and the whole architecture of the cabina just perfect! Everything is spacious and you feel like in heaven. Might be also quite nice for group vavation. Thank you for having us!
- Nick (10/5): Beautiful cabin in the mountain. Highly recommended - Everything!
Beautiful cabin, very private in the hills above Uvita.
Great hosts who ensured we had everything we needed.
Nice pool to cool off in, after walking in the NP Nothing, it was great.
- Chloe (10/5): Exceptional - We had an amazing stay. Beautiful property and pool area. Loved the outdoor cooking area. The hosts went above and beyond to accommodate an early check in. Would recommend to anyone looking for a getaway!
- Emma (8/5): Very good - We had a very nice stay. The units are cute and practical, with everything you need! Very clean. Hosts are nice and welcoming. We enjoyed using the outdoor communal kitchen. Nice pool. As others have noted, driving in can be a challenge. We are from a rural area with lots of dirt roads, but we still felt uncomfortable making the drive at night and at one point ended up getting lost (since the roads are not clearly marked PLUS there’s very spotty reception for GPS), which resulted in damage to our rental car. Need 4x4 to make it up the driveway. I would not stay here if you don’t have an SUV.
People were doing very loud landscaping work on the property outside of our window starting at 7:30am one day.

- Joseph (10/5): We had a chance to meet and chat with the owners, a very friendly and helpful couple. Ali & Cori were always quick t - Stunning interior design and outdoor layout, sparkling clean, extremely comfy and spacious bungalow, you feel like living in a smart ecological home in the middle of the jungle. The enormous garden of the property and the pool area were nicely thought and done, we felt so relaxed we did not want to leave the house! Nothing really
- Elizabeth (10/5): Aly and Cory were the perfect hosts and made our stay incredible with great restaurant recommendations and excellent com - The property was absolutely perfect! Secluded but accessible and the perfect oasis for a couples trip. All the cabins face the jungle so it’s private, and the pool is the perfect size and temperature. Nothing to dislike!
- Eelke (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing! Nice location, very friendly and helpful host. Would highly recommend!
- Christoph (10/5): Nice place to be in Uvita region, don’t miss it. - The Name speaks for it’s own. For those who want to feel a jungle experience directly in front of the door, The Sutton is the place to go.
The Bungalows are kind of brand new, very good equipped as well the design matchs the place perfectly. Also the whole property is just a nice place with a lot of plants, a chilly pool area and a shared lounge with a additional kitchen.
The owners are helpfully available for anything you need during your stay.
- Itay (10/5): A pice of heaven in the middle of the jungle - Amazing place. everything was perfect
- Gabriella (10/5): Absolutely incredible stay at The Sutton!! - The Sutton is by far the most stunning property I’ve ever stayed at. My husband and I are usually budget/backpacker/hostel type travellers, but we decided to splurge on accomodations for the last leg of our Costa Rica trip and man, am I glad we did! Our stay at the Sutton absolutely exceeded my expectations. Cory and Alison were exceptionally friendly/incredible hosts right from the jump. Their property is clean, modern, intimate and breathtakingly beautiful. Loved waking up slow to the sounds of the jungle in our own little slice of jungle paradise. 1000/10 would recommend staying here. Nothing we didn’t like - everything was perfect!
- Tom (10/5): Exceptional -
- Léa (10/5): Amazing jungle cabin with lovely hosts - Everything was amazing about this stay. The owners are so nice and helped us up the steep hill with their car and with our luggage. The room was just amazing and probably the cleanest lodging we had in all of Costa Rica. Also the pool was lovely and we loved to take a quick dip. In the evening it started raining so bad and it was not save to leave for dinner with our car, so the owners brought us some food to our cabin, so we just enjoyed staying in and making something in the convenient kitchenette the cabin comes with. Unfortunately we booked this cabin and oversaw that there are no kids allowed. The owners were extremely kind and let us stay the night anyway and didn't insist on paying for the 2nd booked night. There's really nothing we didn't like about this accommodation, we just regret not staying there before/without the baby.
- Carlos (10/5): Absolute gem! Go visit and experience! - super friendly couple that runs this place. The houses are very modern, luxurious and nicely decorated. The bed is also very comfortable and you really have a private spot in the middle of the jungle. Absolutely perfect situated and well priced We will definitely come back!
- Nova (10/5): perfect jungle oasis - Gorgeous, tranquil, cozy, amazing hosts
- Liana (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place, clean, peaceful. Nothing
- Euan (10/5): Exceptional - We had a wonderful stay at The Sutton. Aly and Cory are such kind and generous hosts. The cabin was spotlessly clean. There is a fantastic garden with many wild birds and a beautiful pool area. Playa Hermosa beach is a 5 minute drive away where you can see the most perfect sunsets. We sincerely recommend The Sutton and would love to stay there again in the future.
- Audriana (10/5): the perfect spot for our stay in Uvita, right in the jungle, beautiful and such a unique property - this place is a jungle paradise! we saw tons of wildlife right from our terrace and loved being right in the jungle. Cory and Aly were wonderful hosts and their dogs are the sweetest. we are already talking about coming back with our families and renting out the whole place together sometime in the future. nothing!
