Guest Reviews
- Ippersiel (10/5): 10/10 je recommande - Emplacement reculé très calme, belle vue sur l'océan, entouré de végétation.
Les lits sont très confortables, les chambres sont fraîches, super piscine et le personnel est tout simplement incroyable. Rien, tout était parfait
.
- Freddy (9/5): Buen lugar para descansar en medio de la naturaleza. - Nuestra experiencia en Hotel Cuna del Angel fue muy buena. 🌿✨
El hotel tiene un ambiente hermoso, tranquilo y perfecto para relajarse en medio de la naturaleza. Queremos destacar especialmente la excelente atención del personal, siempre muy amable, servicial y atento a cada detalle. Gracias a ellos nos sentimos muy bien atendidos durante toda la estancia.
La habitación fue cómoda y agradable, ideal para descansar y disfrutar de unos días de tranquilidad.
Como aspecto a mejorar, creemos que los desayunos podrían tener un poco más de variedad, especialmente para quienes se hospedan varios días, ya que con el tiempo las opciones pueden sentirse repetitivas.
Aun así, disfrutamos mucho nuestra estancia y agradecemos al equipo del hotel por su hospitalidad y gran servicio. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aunque el hotel tiene un estilo colonial encantador y en general se encuentra bien conservado, creemos que algunas habitaciones necesitan una renovación del mobiliario. La habitación tenía un olor bastante marcado, no solo a madera antigua, sino también proveniente de elementos como las cortinas, las sábanas y otros muebles, lo que hacía que el ambiente se sintiera algo cargado. Además, el colchón no resultó lo suficientemente cómodo para descansar plenamente durante la estancia. Consideramos que actualizar ciertos detalles mejoraría muchísimo la experiencia de los huéspedes.
- Catalina (9/5): -
- Fabienne (9/5): Fantastic food! - Restaurant: very delicious gluten free and organic food! Very friendly staff.
Rooms: put much attention to detail.
General: quiet and calm atmosphere Receptionist not so friendly/helpful
- Pedro (10/5): Paid attention to detail. - Beautiful
- Joachim (8/5): Gut erreichbares Hotel mit schönem Ausblick - Sehr schöne Anlage, gut ausgestattete große Zimmer mit Blick auf den Garten, schöner Pool, sehr sauber und gepflegt. Das Personal war ausgesprochen freundlich. Leider liegt das Hotel nah an dem sehr befahrenen Inter American Highway und es ist dadurch recht laut, vor allem in den oberen Zimmern. Das Frühstück fällt eher bescheiden aus, was nicht zum Anspruch des Hauses passt.
- Tzachi (10/5): - מקום מאוד יפה ומטופח. ניתן לשפר את ארוחת הבוקר, ובעיקר את ארוחת הבוקר לדרך, שהיתה מאכזבת.
- Wencke (10/5): -
- David (8/5): Closest thing to paradise when the sun shines and the sound of howler monkey first thing - Stunning pool and rooms, lovely gardens and well presented breakfast, dinner was good too
Was a good touch to have a nespresso style coffee machine with pods supplied 51 Spanish speaking channels and no English speaking channels or news channels without having to sign up to pay per view!!!! Not good !!
- Moulay (7/5): - Pas de room service
J’ai demander une bouteille d’eau à 19h personne n’a voulu me la ramener
- Simona (10/5): -
- veronique (10/5): Magnifique hôtel , personnel charmant - Magnifique hotel
Personnel aux petits soins
- Greg (8/5): -
- Samira (7/5): - Das Person war sehr freundlich. Im Badezimmer hatte es zu wenig Möglichkeiten etwas aufzuhängen. Einkleines Tischlein auf der Terasse wäre schön gewesen.
- Kerry (9/5): Great sunsets - Although close to the main road which was handy for travelling to Uvita the hotel was peaceful, with beautiful gardens. We saw toucans hummingbirds and monkeys.
The restaurant has lovely sunset views and the menu was 100% gluten free. The breakfast buffet had gluten free pancakes , bread and muffins.
The pool area was small, but shady and perfect for a couple of hours relaxing after seeing the sights. Nothing
- Dalia (10/5): - El desayuno excelente y la comida, las instalaciones excelentes. El restaurante es un poco caro pero la comida muy buena
- Rafael (10/5): - Las instalaciones son bonitas y limpias.
La comida es muy rica.
- Elliot (10/5): - Hotel and location were both stunning - gorgeous forest location, immaculate grounds (including beautiful infinity pool), and room and facilities were spotlessly clean. The hotel had a lovely, out of the way feel - but was also only c.10mins drive from the Marino Ballena national park in one direction, and the Dominical surf beaches in the other. Staff were friendly and professional, restaurant food was delicious and completely gluten free (if a little pricey), and breakfast was fantastic. Would thoroughly recommend! Nothing
- Arturo (6/5): - buena vista desde el restaurante el personal del restaurante habla demasiado y no da privacidad, los precios del restaurante son excesivamente caros para la calidad de la comida
- Christine (9/5): -
- Alexandra (8/5): -
- Alejandro (8/5): - El.estilo del hotel,las vistas de restaurante,todo muy bonito.
Camas cómodas y habitaciones amplias No se puede concebir en un hotel de 200 dólares la noche una televisión de los años 90.
Pedimos que cobrarán al contado anticipadamente y cuando llegamos nos habían cobrado con la tarjeta y ni disculpas ni nada,es lo que hay y punto.Les enseñe el mensaje que me habían enviado con el ok en respuesta a mi petición y dijeron que ellos no habían escrito ese mensaje 🤷♂️fatal.

- Georgina (9/5): -
- Enrique (10/5): Paseo de entregar regalos de Navidad. - Todo, diseño. Y mucho más. Nada
- Enrique (10/5): - El trato del personal, extraordinario
- Wilson (10/5): Valoración - Las camas, la habitación, el restaurante y el trato del personal. Que no hay agua potable en las habitaciones.
- Mariana (10/5): -
- Sandra (10/5): Sehr empfehlenswert für eine entspannte Auszeit - Die Zimmer sind sehr groß. Alles ist sauber und in gutem Zustand. Der Service ist sehr aufmerksam und das Restaurant ganz großartig. Die Preise für die Gerichte sind recht hoch, aber es sind Portionen, von denen man satt wird. Alles schmeckt sehr aromatisch und ist gut abgestimmt aufeinander.
Ich hatte eine Massage und ein Facial gebucht. Das war sehr entspannend und angenehm. Ich verstehe nicht, warum man das Leitungswasser dort nicht trinken soll. Ich habe 7 Wochen lang das Leitungswasser in Costa Rica getrunken und es ging mir gut.
- Nidia (9/5): - La atención del personal El acceso al hotel desde la carretera viniendo de Uvita
- Maria Gabriela (9/5): Pasé unos dias maravillosos. El trato de las personas que trsbajan el hotel, es excelente. - Todo excelente Todo muy bonito y limpio
- Varinja (10/5): - Personal und Sauberkeit. Super kinderlieb.
- Ericka Martínez (10/5): - La atención y detalles q tuvieron con nosotros Todo estuvo excelente
- Stephan (8/5): Fijne locatie met mooi zwembad - Heel aardig personeel dat erg zijn best doet. Heerlijk zwembad en jacuzzi. De kamers zijn netjes en schoon. Doordat het dicht aan de weg ligt heb je wel wat geluid van verkeer.
Het gehele hotel serveert gluten vrij eten. Helaas komt dit de smakelijkheid niet altijd ten goede.
- Duane (6/5): Nice property. Its a shame traffic noise is so high - Cleanliness Location in relation to main road. Extremely noisy traffic.
- Séverine (10/5): Super ! - Tout était parfait. Les chambres sont spacieuses, très joliment décorées et parfaitement propres. Les produits de toilette sont appréciables et de qualité.
Très jolie piscine également.
Le dîner était très bon, le buffet du petit-déjeuner offre un vaste choix.
Service irréprochable, le personnel est d'une rare gentillesse et toujours souriant.
On recommande à 100%. On aurait aimé rester plus longtemps !
- Dirk (Leipzig) (10/5): Sehr schönes komfortables Hotel im kolonial / indischem Stil - Sehr schönes ruhiges Hotel im kolonial / indischen Stil. Sehr komfortable große Zimmer (EG mit Terasse, 1.OG mit Balkon) mit Blick in den Garten mit Pool. Alles in sehr gediegener schöner Atmosphäre in sehr schöner Landschaft. Würde sofort wieder hier nächtigen.
- Andrew (10/5): Luxurious, Beautiful Hotel and Restaurant - This is a luxurious, beautiful hotel. Our room had an outside patio overlooking the pool and the passing monkeys. The restaurant provided a delicious breakfast.
- MARIA (9/5): -
- Kattia (10/5): -
- Sol (9/5): - מתקן ברמה גבוהה מאוד, כנ"ל החדר. הכל נראה חדש ומתוחזק.
צוות מעולה! כולם יצאו מגדרם לרצות כל בקשה ושאלה.
יש בריכה וג'קוזי (של מים קרים).
החדר מובזר במכונת קפה, מזגן, מרווח מאוד.
ממליצה מאוד! המיקום - כ 10 דקות מחוץ לעיר. זה לא כל כך משנה כי חייבים לטייל עם רכב.
- Arguedas (10/5): -
- henry (10/5): sobre mis espectativas - la tranquilidad
- Gabriela Chanto (10/5): I will be back - The staff is so nice, breakfast and dinner were delicious, and the view cannot get any better. The hotel is a little far from the National Park, but it is worth it for the view and the quiet at night.
- Mayra (9/5): Excelente - Todos fueron súper atentos , la habitación limpia y muy cómoda, sin ruidos. La cena deliciosa con un ambiente muy agradable. Todo estuvo bien.
- Arnaldo (10/5): -
- Diana (10/5): Descanso excelente - El personal, muy servicial y atentos, me encanto la limpieza. Todo me gusto, la comida muy buena.
- Alejandro (10/5): - Más variedad de comida en restaurante
- Pilar (10/5): Hotel precioso con personal muy amable - Es un hotel precioso en medio de la selva, te puedes bañar en la piscina viendo los monos al lado Por decir algo, la entrada al camino podría estar más señalizada
- Jorge (10/5): -
- Hadar (5/5): - לא התחברנו לעיצוב של המלון. המרפסת בחדר לא ננעלת. טעון שיפור בניקיון
- Louise (8/5): Super enjoyable - The central location, style and set up Too many stairs but worth the views
- Stefania Sommariva (8/5): - Location con bella vista
- Esteban (10/5): -
- Eva (9/5): -
- Ixone (8/5): -
- Montse (9/5): Espectacular. Muy confortable. Parada obligada - La habitación fue muy confortable y super limpia. El jardín y la piscina también son muy agradables. Desde las tumbonas de la piscina puedes ver monos y tucanes. Un auténtico sueño. Nos gustó todo
- Abelardo (8/5): -
- Rojas (9/5): Superb -
- Paula (8/5): Very good -
- Daniel (9/5): Excellent! - Staff / restaurants area is outstanding Smell at mid afternoon - it may require maintenance
- Tal (9/5): Beautiful hotel with great view - Really nice hotel with vintage furnitures and great view to the ocean. Room was big and comfy , really nice balcony. We had rain so we didn't tried the pool but it seems nice. Breakfast was really good. Restaurant is really expensive and fancy, we ate lunch and dinner outside the hotel.
- Wenda (7/5): Good -
- Lady (8/5): Nice place I would ask for a room upstairs - Grounds beautiful well maintained. Hotel attention to details clean pretty. Breakfast buffet wonderful. Staff engaging and helpful. Pool fantastic. Room was good size pretty and well stocked BUT. SMELLED MUSTY.
- Murillo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christopher (4/5): All in all, the best I could say is the place was “ok”. But honestly disappointing - Location was good and beautiful although entry from the direction of Uvita was difficult and dangerous at night. Creepy angel heads all around (I suppose it is supposed to be kitchy), trying to enter when raining was dangerous and hassle with steep wet slippery stairs and no offer to help with bags. Rooms and strangely the bathroom sink were dated and damaged.
- Coen (7/5): Wifi wasnt working and the receptionist did not beleive us and wasnot helpfull. It took a day to put in a new router. Ot - Comfortable and nice atmosphere Price is too high relative to other hotels. Lots of stairs in the hotel to get to general areas or your room.
- Bridget (10/5): Really loved this stay at a 100% gluten-free hotel and restaurant. We will be back! - Beautifully located, quiet, clean, really cool angel theme, and a lovely swimming pool.
- Christoph (8/5): Excellent stay - Beautiful property and well maintained. Nature all around, great view and location. Staff very helpful. Marko our waiter was super professional and helped with any wish. Beautiful restaurant The cocktails did not live up to our expectation, the breakfast buffet is simple but ok
- Catalina (10/5): Amazing! - Service Noise from the street
- Imogen (9/5): Attractive hotel convenient for excellent beaches - Beautifully maintained and very attractive inside and out.
Close to the road, which was convenient as met up with family, but didn't seem noisy. Would have liked a simple option on dinner menu. With lots of travelling food can be too rich.
- Dyck (5/5): Go for a meal not for a night - The restaurant and the servers are the best part of this place and is why we booked here. Carla and Andres were incredible servers and were always doing everything they could to ensure we enjoyed our meals. Being celiac the 100% gluten free menu was a treat! It was so nice to be able to look at the menu and order anything. Even my partner who isn’t celiac said the food was very good. The reception staff and housekeepers were also very nice and did a great job cleaning. The views were very beautiful during the day. The manager of the property was less than accommodating and rude. If you’re not in your room by 10 there is always someone watching over you, and at times made us feel a bit criminal. Our air conditioning didn’t work great, we asked for it to be fixed twice, and there was almost no effort into looking into it. It never improved, and there is no blanket given on the bed, suggesting this might not be entirely out of the norm. The couch is anything but comfortable, the bed is average. The pool was smaller in person than it appeared in photos, but was a decent little pool. However, there were only 6 lounge chairs which are typically taken at the beginning of the day so we ended up sitting on foldable plastic table chairs by the pool.
This might be a matter of taste, but the rooms and common areas were very dimly lit. In addition to the dated decor, there were few places that felt inviting or enjoyable to relax in after dark (6-7pm). If you are a night person, this may be something you want to consider.
- Earthexplorer7 (10/5): Fantastic hotel! -
- Gary (9/5): Superb -
- Nikki (6/5): Pleasant - It’s was nicely kept and clean The beds and pillows were very uncomfortable and the bed sheets kept coming off the bed.
- Kendal (8/5): Very good -
- Ali (8/5): Good concept not the best execution - I liked The concept. Minus the guard everyone else were friendly The pools is small and the food was not good. Not enough variety. After a 2 day stayed you tried what you liked and there is not snacks menú for the pool. We arrived after 10 pm and we were received by an unattentive and rude guard is not the best way to start your vacations.
- Jose (10/5): Great hotel with amazong service. Will visit again! - Beautiful place, amazing service, comfortable rooms, great food at the restaurant.
- Jennifer (10/5): A quiet stay at a family-friendly, well-staffed resort with high values around ecology. - Excellent guest services. The food and atmosphere were comparable to a five star resort. We loved everything about this place.
- Brian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Connie (10/5): This is a quaint beautiful property. The staff is very helpful and nice. They really try to make your stay enjoyable. Br - Property was beautiful. Nice big pool. iguanas and birds on the property. staff is very friendly beautiful large pool, just the right temperature. grounds are well kept.
- Manuel (8/5): Very good -
- Juan (9/5): Superb -
- Vincent (3/5): Poor -
- Chris (10/5): Exceptional - The grounds are gorgeous and room is comfortable with excellent style. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Felt quiet, relaxed and safe Restaurant a bit pricey. No other complaints!
- Saade (2/5): Very poor -
- Zvi (9/5): Superb -
- Anonymous (7/5): It was fine, but not a place I would book again. - The maid service was great! The staff could improve their customer service. The room was clean, but dark and outdated.
- Rosa (9/5): Superb -
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - We liked just about everything. The grounds were very well kept, the staff were beyond excellent, our room was comfortable and clean. The room had an espresso pod machine. The bathroom products from Raw Botanical smelled and felt so amazing that we're going to try and buy some for ourselves! The infinity pool was great. We saw a whole group of Capuchin Monkeys in the late morning from the pool one day.
The restaurant at this place is a dream come true for a person with celiac disease! The included breakfast was great, the lunch and dinner menus had us excited every day to try something new, and the prices were surprisingly excellent considering some of the expat owned restaurants in the surrounding areas. We ate here every meal every day during our stay without regret. It was amazing not to have to even mention needing GF accommodation. The staff don't even bring outside food into the resort to maintain their 100% GF kitchen.
I also have to mention the server Warner, he was an absolute gem who made our stay with his enthusiasm and how earnestly happy he was to be there talking with us and making sure we had a great time. The grounds were somewhat small. They do offer many tours and a spa however, and they were great about arranging a taxi for us. I'd recommend having a car here for day trips, but we got on well with taxis.
- David (3/5): Unfortunately very noisy - Nice view. Great dinner What could have been a tranquil location is unfortunately completely overshadowed by all the traffic noise from the main road. Even with ear plugs the noise from the lorries struggling up and down the hill on both sides of the hotel was loud. Owners seem to have done nothing to block/minimise the noise like noice fences or simple sound proofing around hotel room door.
There’s also a constant humming noise from the swimming pool pump which could probably have easily been avoided by the owners making it possible to close the door to the pump house.
Also expect the restaurant bill to be high if you have dinner here - although admittedly it’s good food
- Diana (4/5): Disappointing - Staff was nice and helpful Rooms outdated and impractical (very little space for clothes and other stuff, strange half bathtub with shower without cold water mixer, the bedsheets wouldn't cover the mattress properly...)
Tiny pool with very few sunbeds.
Limited and overpriced food. The place is completely gluten-free so certain food options such as pasta are to be avoided. Try the breakfast home mode granola, very good and rich.
Most of all you MUST have a car to move around the area. We didn't, and ended up paying around 150 USD of taxis for 2 full days, and they weren't easy to find. If you don't have your own car stay in Uvita!
- David (9/5): Superb -
- Sherry (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kimberly (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rebecca (8/5): Very good -
- Dee (10/5): After a long day of travel this was an ideal respite for us. - The hotel was beautifully appointed and they staff was outstanding. Most spoke english and were very friendly. They are clearly well trained and enjoy their jobs. The bed linens could be of a better quality. The bottom sheet didn't stay on the mattress.
- Itamar (7/5): Good - the hotel lobby and pool was beautiful.
the room was clean.
staff were nice. the room was not in the best condition especially the bathroom.
Jacuzzi was in bad shape.
breakfast was only ok.
water pressure was low.
- Christian (8/5): Very good - The chef was absolutely amazing, breakfast and dinner we ate at the hotel was outstanding The mattress an pillows could do with an upgrade
- Paul (9/5): Excellent! - Very nice and clean rooms, friendly staff, nice pool and a superb view. Very easy to get to Dominical, Uvita and several tours from the hotel. Group of monkeys close by, nice to watch. Breakfast and restaurant were very good. $10,00 for a bottle of sparkling water in the restaurant is a bit much, we took one only once. Other prices are on par with other hotels in the country.
