"We stayed for 5 nights at the hotel. The hotel has the most beautiful view of the ocean. The restaurant was great for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The swimming pool was beautiful. We saw all kinds of birds and animals in the ground of the hotel. Highly recommend for anyone staying around the Uvita area with a car."

"Getting to the property was a little confusing as a foreigner. Eventually I found it & everything was good. Communication with the host was good. Any issues that occurred I was able to inform the host & it was handled promptly. I understand it being in the jungle & or nature habitat so there was naturally bugs & pests, scared me a little but it was fine. I really enjoyed the home it was beautiful!"

"I enjoyed my stay at Bali Bali Bueno so much last December that I had to come and stay again in June. The house is beautiful and comfortable but the outdoor space is my favorite part. It's very private and peaceful and you can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature all day and night. The owners have done an amazing job with the decor and ambiance. This visit was a much needed peaceful break from my busy life in the States and I rarely left the house at all this time, except to grab groceries. There are a couple small mini grocery stores just a few minutes drive from the house, or you can drive 20 min to Uvita which has a large supermarket. There are also a few great restaurants within 5-10 min drive from the house as well."
