Arboura Eco Cabinas

This is a great place to stay. Well price and in easy walking distance to beach and restaurants . Free bikes, good WiFi. The cabin we stayed in had private bathroom with cold shower. Hot showers are available but they are shared. Tropical weather makes a cold shower my preferred option anyway. 40 min beach walk to whale tail. Surf board hire and a great surfing beach just a few minutes walk. Great bird life. I saw Scarlet Macaws several times during my two day stay here. Cabins are close so you do hear neighbors a bit . Has ping pong table games, books and a pool.

We stayed for 3 nights at Arboura Eco Lodges and absolutely loved our stay. There is ample parking within the gates and extra space on the roads outside, though it was relatively quiet as we travelled during the rainy season. The lodges were exactly as advertised and a great way to get close to nature while staying in Uvita. We even saw a hummingbird right outside our window one morning. Though the weather was humid we were very comfortable because the main bedroom was air conditioned and the front room with a single bed had a fan but actually was quite cool overnight. Having no windows but mosquito nets in the bathroom and main room worked really well and allowed us to hear the sounds of the jungle and experience the rain without getting wet. We cooked for one night of our stay and the kitchen had everything we needed. The gas hot plate was excellent and there were plenty of pots, pans and cooking utensils. We also enjoyed making the Chorreado coffee, in traditional Costa Rican style. There’s a guide in the room which provided great recommendations for tours, restaurants and other activities. The only reason we don’t give 5 stars for service is that there were a few hours one evening where all shower facilities weren’t working, but it was fixed within a few hours. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would thoroughly recommend!

I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely return next time I’m in Uvita. The little cabins are very thoughtfully made with lots of fans, plenty of hooks for hanging clothes and towels, and everything you need to cook your own meals. The cabins each have cold water showers, but there are communal showers with hot water that were super convenient for chillier nights. The space is very clean and cute while also feeling quite wild with the jungle surrounding. We saw macaws and toucans within the first 10 minutes of arriving. On top of that, it’s a 5 minute walk to the beautiful national park beach (this beach has a fee for visitors, but is one of the most beautiful in all of Costa Rica and very much worth the cost). Please also note that the cabins are practically open air, just with screens for insects. When people are outside in the pool, you can hear them. I worried it would be noisy, but I felt everyone was respectful of the space and the evenings were always quiet for sleeping. For the price, this place is a really good deal. Overall, a 10/10 experience.
