Great apartment. Looked very new, in secure compound. Nice looking pool , though we didn't get use it. We got there too early and the room wasn't ready, but they let us leave the car in their secure car park while we went to the beach waiting for the official check in.

Very nice property, safe, very clean and hygienic. Staff is very courteous and extremely vigilant big on security. Don't worry area is safe. Walkable to local restaurants and national park (Parque Ballena). Park is about 8 min walk to entrance and a 3 min. walk to nearest restaurant (Mediterranean food) also another excellent choice friendly staff.

Great condo in Uvita

This is a nice, spacious apartment/condo. Don't let the dirt road it is on concern you...the apartment is newer and nice, and in a private gated compound. Rooms were clean and spacious (ours was a two bedroom). Small pool available.

Ballena Paridise is a well designed property. It is a spacious apartment. Property is very clean and well maintained. On arrival I was given a brief orientation and a set of keys and a remote for the gate. Loved the swimming pool and the beach is a couple of minutes walk from property. If you are a fellow journey person you will also appreciate this place.

Lovely newer condo style place

The pictures do not do this apart hotel justice. It is very new, clean, well stocked with kitchen appliances, tableware, and the bedrooms are nice a spacious. The AC works nicely in both bedrooms. The parking is spacious for each unit and it's a safe let gated property. The only items I would advise the property is to fix one of the windows so it doe lock. However, not a huge deal since it’s in a gated location

Place was very nice and well located. 10 min walk to the Ballena National Park entrance. It was very warm and no fan strong enough to keep windows opened so we had to use air conditioning and leave curtains closed. So we did no feel like staying very long inside. No private exterior area to Relax but there was a great common area with deep pool ! I do recommand if the only thing you need is sleep and shower.
