Yuli Hotel

This place was one of our favorite places to stay for several years. It is not anymore. During this stay the pool was closed due to a maintenance problem. The walls are notoriously thin in the upstairs rooms and front office staff failed to ask our neighbors to be quiet after 9 pm. This is the second time this has happened. Our favorite restaurant, Sabas’, on the hotel premises, served us a pizza with a burnt and soggy crust. Really bad experience this time.

This is one of the worst experiences I have had in Costa Rica. The walls are thin and they do nothing to enforce quiet hours. One one side there were loud conversations and laughter late into the night. We had an early departure and were not able to sleep. On the other side there was screaming. It sounded like someone was dying or having a really bad trip. It seemed like a good place to stay. Also, there is little parking. I highly recommend that no one stay here.

We thought we’d arrived in heaven in a the Monday… but the restaurant wasn’t open. It opened on the Tuesday.. tranquility replaced with loud thumping music no one wanted to hear. I’m amazed anyone could eat there. Spoiled the experience of a beautiful place.

I can not say enough how amazing this hotel is the rooms are clean and the pool is great the restaurant that is connected to hotel is absolutely a must it’s called sebas so even if you aren’t staying there you must go! BUT the real highlight of my experience here was Gretal and Kevin who are the most kind and accommodating staff members. They went above and beyond to ensure that not only my stay at the hotel was amazing but my stay in uvita. They helped me book tours and had answers to all my questions and were more than happy to help. I would come back here again absolutely and recommend to all my family and friends especially because Gretal and Kevin went above and beyond to make sure I had an executional time in uvita!!!! this hotel is a must!!!

I’ll preface this with a) my boyfriend and I are in our mid-thirties and are definitely not into partying and b) we probably should have read the reviews more closely. The good: - location was really convenient and close to everything you would like to do in Uvita. Literally 5 minutes from the beach/national park, close to great restaurants (definitely check out Fernando’s!) and activities. - parking was easy and stress free - staff were kind and accommodating - pool was such a nice perk and very obviously well cared for and maintained Now, the bad: - we booked a king bed and got…two smaller beds pushed up next two each other? The beds were really uncomfortable and kept separating. Not great given what we were expecting. - the music at the restaurant Saba’s is so, so loud. I understand the restaurant isn’t a part of the hotel, but Yuli promoted them for breakfast and it looks like there are multiple reviews complaining about the noise. If it’s harming your core business maybe it’s time to have a conversation with them about at least turning the stereo down and at THE VERY least turning the music off after 10. - on sound- the walls were paper thin. We could literally hear a person’s phone in the room next to us every time they got a text. - it didn’t feel like the rules on the pool were well enforced. We were woken up at 5:30am on our first day to a person loudly splashing around in the pool, which due to the aforementioned paper thin walls was quite obnoxious. Overall, we were just disappointed. The hotel is really nice looking but the rooms and the noise were just too much. If you’re looking for a party, sure go for it. If you’re looking for a quiet place to sleep, try somewhere else.

Had a great 3 night stay here. Kevin at the front desk was super helpful. Clean, comfortable room, a great pool and a couple great dinners at Seba's next to the hotel . Close walk to the beach / park access. Great spot! Would definitely stay here again. Travis from Canada
