The property is tidy, clean, organized, intimate and festive. There are only 3 rooms so quaint, which is appropriate for the small town of Ballena. Our room was clean, organized and well stocked for the traveler (beach towels, umbrella, hangers, drying rack, safe, mini kitchen..). AC works well and wifi is strong. There is key code for the gate so secure at night. Scott knows the quality adventure companies too! He provides detailed instructions for check in and recommendations for dining, activities, etc.

Had a three night stay here, it’s very close to the national park and beach in a very safe area with a lot of food options. Room was spacious, bed was very comfortable and the AC worked very well. Scott was a great host and readily available to answer any questions. As a woman, solo traveller, would def recommend.

This is a great place to stay in Uvita. We did not have a car while we were here but we could walk everywhere we needed to go. It is centrally located and very close to a couple of entrances to the Ballena National Marine Park as well as some food stores and several restaurants. Kinsu restaurant, which is excellent, is less than a 3min walk away. Scott is usually around to answer any questions or concerns you may have. He will arrange tours and transportation for you if required. He had to go back to the USA while we were there but he made arrangements for another man to come and stay at his place so someone was always there to look after any needs we may have had. The shared outdoor kitchen area was a great place to have lunch and breakfast; we went out for dinner each night. It was nice to be able to have fridge and freezer space in the big shared fridge in the outdoor kitchen. Our room was comfortable and we appreciated the small fridge and sock coffee maker in our room. Scott supplied the coffee and sugar. There are only 3 cabinas which is nice, people to talk to if you want but not busy. The pool is great for swimming.

It's a cute, cozy, gated place with just a few rooms, a common area with a fully equipped kitchen, a small entertainment area, and a pool. There's a ceiling fan, an AC, a laundry hanger inside the room. Walking distance from a few decent restaurants and the national park beach.

Cabinas d’Val is an amazing place to stay in Uvita! Great location, just a quick walk to the beach or into town. Lots of great restaurants nearby and so quiet and peaceful. The bed is so comfortable, I slept amazing here. The owner Scott is an amazing host and made me feel so welcome. As a woman traveling alone, feeling safe and secure where I am staying is always important and the Cabinas was perfect in this respect. I will definitely be coming back. Stay here you won’t regret it!

Scott the owner was very helpful and friendly. The outdoor kitchen and the pool was clean and inviting. The proximity to the most beautiful beach and National Park makes this a great location.

Great place away from the crowds

We enjoyed our five day stay here so much that we extended for 2 further nights. Although there is not a great deal to do in Uvita, the national park is beautiful ($6 entry fee) and Scott, the owner, is happy to arrange any trips for you. October is a quiet time of year, so although there are a few good places to eat they were either closed or closed early. There are two small groceries stores nearby, and a really good supermarket in easy walking distance. However, the cabin and gardens are so comfy and peaceful it was a great place just to relax. The bed is incredibly comfy, the pool is nice for a dip to cool off, and the gardens are great for bird watching. There is also a great rancho for outdoor cooking, and a good outside seating area. Scott was a great host and made us feel very welcome, he even did some laundry for us. If you are looking for a great place to stay away from the crowds, then look no further.
