Staff was friendly and helpful. Pool was welcoming and good music vibes all day. Room was super basic and I think our toilet or shower had a leak. We checked but all we could find is the water on the floor.

OK for one night.
The place is a bit run-down. Parking was off-street on dusty road with no security. There is an on-site parking lot but it is extremely small and fits about 4 cars but there were 6 crammed in upon our arrival. Hotel room is very bare bones, no hot water while we were there. If we had to stay more than the one night I'd look elsewhere but ok for the 1 given the price.

Really liked Tropical Beach - highly recommend!
Really great choice in Uvita. This was a huge unit with 2 bedrooms with Queen beds and a futon in the living area. Nice pool area that we didn't have time to use. Walking distance to Uvita Beach - which is a great beach! We arrived early for check-in and since our unit was ready, we were allowed to check-in early which is always really helpful. I would definitely stay here again if in the area. Also had air conditioning, which helped to dry out some of our clothes, which were damp from our time in Bahia Drake.

I arrived late, not realizing the hotel had a 10 PM deadline to check-in. When I arrived, the hotel manager was incredibly ride to me and told me that I had no reservation, which I did have. He tried to charge me for the stay, but he credit card machine was down. He showed me to a room anyways after I contested that it wasn't my fault the credit card machine was down. He eventually showed me to a room and then immediately disappeared. I quickly noticed that our ground floor room window was broken and did not lock. I was unable to sleep all evening because it was not secure. When I complained in the morning about the broken window, he insisted I broke the window and that I had to pay for my room then and how he was lucky he wasn't charging me for the window that I broke! I can not tell you how rude this man was. I want to request a refund for my stay.

The place was ok. The room smelled heavily of bug spray and our sheets were stained and possibly dirty. There isn’t enough parking space so we had to move our car so other people could get out. This was a pit stop for us which was ok I wouldn’t stay more than one night.

I was very happy of my stay at Tropical beach. The manager Mauricio was helpful and very friendly. He made you feel like you were family. I stayed in a standard room and the cleanliness was top notch. the room was air conditioned which was nice as it is very hot in Costa Rica. The pool was refreshing and well maintained. The hotel was close to the beach. There is a restaurant on site and the owner Kevin is helpful and very friendly as well. I would highly recommend Tropical beach for lodging while in Uvita. Thank you to the owner Kuba for a wonderful vacation at Tropical beach. Keep up the good work!! 😀💕🇨🇦

Given room no1. Which stank like a dirty public toilet in desperate need of cleaning. Bed sheets were very old and smelt musty. Kitchen drawers didn’t stay closed and the fridge had a wobble. No wardrobe. Curtains see through. Due to arriving late at the property we only stayed their 1 night before leaving for another hotel. Don’t waste your money and stay here.

Really great little hotel! Room was exceptionally clean, felt really safe, and the property manager was so kind and helpful! The location is very close to the beach and there are a few restaurants within walking distance. Bike rental right down the road too. Pool was always pristine. Would 100% recommend.

Our stay at Tropical Beach was enjoyable. It’s a beautiful little hotel, has the boutique feeling without the price tag. The manager(s) were accommodating and check-in/out was easy. We arrived at 10:00am and they checked us into our room without any issues, it was appreciated. The hotel is a five minute walk to the national park/beach and a short bike ride or drive to town. I’ve travelled quite a bit and this ranks at the top of the list for value, couldn’t recommend it enough.
