What Guests Say about El Tecal Hotel in Uvita

The owner is a pretty good dude and quite accommodating. The first room we were given did not meet our expectations (too small), and upon letting him know, he did not hesitate to upgrade us to a better suite at no additional charge. I appreciate the customer service.The location cannot be beaten, maybe 300 meters from the beach, 50 meters to a convenience store, and close enough to some of the town's good restaurants.They also have a large, secure parking lot. I will stay there again

Excellent double rooms with private bathroom, have AC, TV, refrigerator with large freezer and equipped kitchen.It also has a pool of 1.38 m deep, it is a very quiet place near Marino Ballena Park. It has a supermarket about 100 m from the accommodation.100% Recommendable, very friendly and nice staff

A perfect place to rest equipped to prepare meals in the room, it has 2 very cool pools, large green areas and is close to the beach 5 minutes walk.The nearby beaches are from the Marino Ballena National Park. Around there are several options for eating out and supermarkets

Despite the arrival under the flood we were perfectly received. The room, with air conditioning, has a small kitchen with fridge, microwave, kettle ..Room and bathroom were very clean and equipped with towels. Although not having used the pool, it seemed nice as well as the barbecue area
