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.

Awesome location walking distance to the beach (5 minutes). Small Apartahotel with only 8 units. Caretaker was awesome and condo was well appointed and very clean. Property is 5 years old but looks new.

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.

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.

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.

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

Great gem of a place in Uvita!
It was such a great experience! Thank you so much. For the value, customer service and location this is such a gem of a find for a place to stay that is minutes away from the Whale Tail beach. We stayed in a room that had two beds, a kitchen with fridge, microwave, pots and pans, plates and cups. Literally everything you would want it was available and made it very convenient. The pool is beautiful and was nice to sit there after a long day or before starting the day. I highly recommend this place if you are looking to stay in this area. It’s a gated area, so also very safe and has a lot for parking.
