About the neighborhood

Located in Bahía Ballena, Alborada Boutique Stay is in the suburbs and by the sea. While the natural beauty of Marino Ballena National Park and Uvita Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Hacienda Baru. Playa Hermosa and Playa Ballena are two other places to visit that come recommended. Spend some time exploring the area's activities, including whale-watching. Visit our Uvita travel guide

Melissa was amazing, you can feel the pride she had for her property the second you pull in the gate. Breakfast was delectable and the room was super cozy and spacious. Mins to a back entrance to the beach, great location! Thank you for all your help and hospitality Melissa. Will be back for sure!

My husband and I stayed 3 nights. The owners & staff were attentive & helpful. The pool was great, theunit was spotless, private, bed comfortable, had all needed amenities and the breakfast was wonderful. We were able to walk to the beach, restaurants and some souvenir shopping. You could see the beach and sunsets from the upper decks. Definitely recommend this place!

What a lovely hotel! Everything is top quality there, from your sheets to the pool towels, the room decor, the quiet atmosphere, the delicious breakfast, the communication with Melissa, the location, the bikes available, the pool. We were truly enchanted by this lovely place. Our room was a pod, so totally quiet. Water pressure was great, the huge TV is fully loaded with good apps, the breakfast choices are excellent. Melissa is a delight to talk to. We can't wait to return.

Lovely little oasis in Uvita. The pool is exceptional as was the breakfast. Only small complaint is the air fresheners that fill the room with a sickly sweet odor. We unplugged them both and the air cleared after a couple of hours.

We stayed 4 nights at this little gem. The staff gives away family atmosphere. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Mayra and I felt like she was family, super friendly and accommodating. The room was spotless, very cozy and pretty. The pool is very inviting and every room is facing it, as soon as you open the door it's right there, I would say the place is very Instagrammeable. Breakfast is delicious and they serve it hot for you. The location is very convenient, you can walk to a lot of restaurants, to tour operating companies, to the beach/national park. We had a rental car and it was nice to have a private secure parking spot for it, but the hotel has bikes that you can use for free and you can move around the area comfortably in them. You can book your boat tours directly with them as well. Also, we were talking to the owner and she let us know that they're working on building a spa, I'll be using it next time for sure as it will be ready soon and we're planning another trip in a short time hopefully!

Cannot recommend this boutique hotel enough! We spent 6 quiet nights there and didn’t want to leave! Helpful and friendly staff, multiple cooked breakfast selections, lovely private pool and off street parking! Great AC and hot water in rooms. Close to the tour office we booked from, and can walk ~15 mins to the beach/national park. Excellent restaurants nearby. Highly recommend Falafel, the Italian place around the corner, the Thai place and Mexican down the street !

It was lovely to have 5 steps to the sunbed and 5 to the pool. A very relaxing place. We loved Melissa and that fact it was a family run place. Rooms were bright and airy with hand painted designs, which was a nice touch. The floral swing is a nice touch that mum thought of and the pool area is all very lovely. Melissa was incredibly helpful with suggestions on where to go and what to do. And she was always interested to hear what we had done and where we had been (for future reference). We would happily stay another time, but would absolutely recommend it to others. Thanks Melissa. Xx
