Relaxation and quiet in a beautiful setting

This place is not right in Uvita but for good reason. It is located a 7 min. drive out of town along the river. What a beautiful setting. Across the river is a protected forest. There are only a few casitas which makes the place very quiet and relaxing. The gardens are full of a variety of tropical plants with paths meandering through to hidden benches and tables. The casita was very clean and the pool was amazing. We seemed to have it to ourselves most of the time. If you don't need to be in the centre of town I would recommend staying here .
