Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection

The most stunning hotel! The view from all the rooms, the restaurant and bar area is stunning and you can watch the birds flying by, the sunsets are stunning. The hotel is one of the best I have stayed at. Everything is thought of, you really really won’t regret it. The road up to the hotel is steep in places you def need a 4x4, if you don’t I believe the hotel will collect you from the bottom. It takes about 15-20 mins to drive up from the town

We stayed in a master suite , worth the splurge, incredible views of the whales tail… turn down service was exquisite… terrace beautiful…. Staff were discreet but always available , nothing too much trouble… Emanuel, Alonso and Micheal to name a few.. very attentive and informative, concierge services excellent:.. Only slight criticism was after 4 nights menu becomes limited… although all the food was superb… will be back .

Outstanding service. Nice view and always kind people and delicious food. The road is an adventure but it’s all worth it!

5 days spent in the most beautiful resort ever- everything was 10/10. The service was top notch, the staff were all wonderful, and everything about the hotel was stunning. We stayed in a master suite and our only need to leave the room was to eat (although room service was available). Michael, William, and Alonso were beyond attentive to our every food and drink need and were a pleasure to see for our meals and happy hours daily! Words can’t describe how beautiful our room was- the views unbelievable, the plunge pool was huge and warm, and the mini bar fully stocked. We are already ready to plan a trip back. If you are looking for a private, serene escape this is the place to go!

Beware of spiders outside and inside your room! There are poisonous snakes in the surrounding area! We came upon a snake driving into the property. After check out, I found a big spider inside a shirt that I hanged in their closet. The hotel staff failed to warn us about this. We are very disappointed about paying so much to have to be too cautious about poisonous snakes, insects and reptiles! It was our Honeymoon get away. We won’t go back!

Our stay at Kura Boutique Hotel was unforgettable and one of the best hospitality experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and completely relaxed. A huge thank you to Hazel at the front desk, who went above and beyond every day. She warmly greeted us after excursions, coordinated drivers, and even arranged packed breakfasts for our early departures — such a thoughtful touch that reflects the level of care at Kura. Marlon, one of the hotel drivers, also made a lasting impression. Every ride up and down the mountain was enjoyable thanks to his friendly personality and local knowledge. We loved hearing his stories and recommendations about Costa Rica and the surrounding area. William, our waiter and bartender, was equally wonderful. He constantly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and loved pointing out local birds and wildlife around the property, which made the experience even more special. The hotel itself is stunning. The rooms are luxurious and comfortable, and the ocean view overlooking Whale’s Tail was breathtaking. One of our favorite memories was relaxing in the hammock each morning while listening to toucans in the trees. The meals were outstanding, and the spa was peaceful, spotless, and deeply relaxing. Kura is more than just a beautiful luxury hotel — it’s the people who make it unforgettable. We left feeling cared for, refreshed, and already wanting to return.

This hotel gets fantastic reviews because it is very good indeed. Amazing views, especially at sunset, staff very helpful and a very cosy feel to the place. We were on a self drive in a Toyota Rav4. Luckily we had noticed on Tripadvisor that you have to be very brave to drive up the hill from Uvita. We messaged the hotel beforehand and a driver met us at the bottom, parked our car for us in their locked parking area and drove us up in a new Land Cruiser. I am not sure our car would have made it up, or down. That service is available on request to take you to Uvita for the beach etc so you won’t need to drive. Laundry service also free. All in all great place to stay for at least two nights (we stayed two nights) more if you want to do the many excursions on offer. Very romantic rooms, all with amazing views. Excellent restaurant on site.

We absolutely loved our stay at Kura! My husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary at this amazing hotel. After an adventurous four-wheel drive up the mountain, you enter the Kura property and are immediately blown away by the most glorious view of the Whale's Tail at Marino Ballena Park. The views, the rooms, the food, and the service were exceptional. The free breakfast every morning provides lots of delicious choices, and the dinners featured locally sourced ingredients. We ate every meal at Kura because there are so many wonderful options to choose from. Special touches include Bluetooth speakers, flashlights, binoculars, and snacks and drinks in your room, as well as free laundry service. They also provide free transportation to Uvita, including Marino Ballena Park, which is absolutely magical! Emanuel, Cindy, Alonso, William, Maureen, and the rest of the staff go above and beyond to make you feel like you are part of the family. I highly recommend Kura if you are staying near Uvita.

This place is AMAZING! The staff are the BEST part of this hotel, the views are second! We felt like time stood still at the Kura and left so relaxed! We had two massages during our stay and they were fantastic! The food will take your breath away!
