Spacious Villa with Stunning Sunset Views

Our stay at the villa was excellent. The villa was very spacious with large, comfortable rooms. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the pool was well-maintained and beautifully lit even at night. Communication with the hosts was excellent! One drawback – the villa is located on a slope, which on the one hand offers a stunning view of the sunset and the ocean, but on the other hand can be a bit unsafe for small children. ⸻

Maison bien équipée avec une vue splendide. Explications fournies par la propriétaire pour atteindre la maison très claires. Par contre route d'accès cahotique sans 4x4 et longue (5km). Une fois qu'on a atteint la maison, on n'a pas très envie de ressortir dîner.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautifully furnished and comfortable condo nestled in a jungle setting overlooking the ocean. Sparkling clean infinity pool, full kitchen, BBQ pit on back patio, excellent service from host and staff. The 5k maintained rock road to get there from main hwy is a bit of a rough drive but well worth it. This was our 5th trip to Costa Rica and we have stayed at many wonderful places- but none as amazing as CanaVida. Only stayed 2 nights- wish we had stayed 2 weeks!

Simply amazing

An INCREDIBLE time at Canavida. The area is stunning. The team that runs the resort is fabulous. We stayed at Casa Oropendola. The view of the Pacific was INCREDIBLE. As was the wildlife. The whale tail beach (and national park) is just down the hill and it's amazing. Playa Hermosa is also great (and has lifeguards). Loved the local waterfalls too (just a short drive away). I suggest renting a 4x4. It will make the drive easier. Lots of options for groceries at the bottom of the hill. We stayed for 6 nights and could have happily stayed even longer. FYI, Uvita is used to tourists so you can get around with little/no Spanish.
Natalie, 6-night trip

Bon rapport qualité prix

Bel endroit et logement bien équipé. Route d’accès de 5km non asphaltée mais cela reste praticable. Belle vue de la piscine. Avoir conscience que lieu est équipé de 5 condos donc promiscuité…, toutefois sans difficultés ou nuisance pour nous. En synthèse, bon séjour de 2 nuits et bon rapport qualité prix.
Marie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is amazing! I have been traveling to Costa Rica since 1990 and I can tell you Canavida is one of the best values ever. From the initial communication and through the entire stay I was impressed. The condo we stayed at was perfect. Clean, well appointed, ocean views right out the back sliding glass doors, etc. I could go on. This is 100% a place I would highly recommend when in the Dominical/Uvita area. Just make sure to get a 4x4 to make access to the property as it is up the hill a little but do not let that discourage you. It is more than worth it.

Lækkert sted oppe og væk fra det meste.

Det er et fantastisk sted som kun kan anbefales! Vi havde lidt udfordringer med cikader som larmede helt vildt og ødelagde lidt af oplevelsen, men det var stadig virkelig fedt! Ligger 20 min væk fra byen og vejen dertil er bumpet og kraftigt kuperet.

The hotel is super clean, mattresses are comfortable and kitchen is fully equipped. View is just breathtaking, you can enjoy sunset from pool. Owner and staff are friendly and responsive, feels like home. Just only one thing to be aware of is gravel road to the property that takes about 15 minutes
