We stayed in the # 8 master suite which is probably the most beautiful space that we've ever stayed in. Over the top architecture, furnishings, private pool, view out over Uvita point. It's almost like we were in a private palace for six days. Amazing staff, fine dining, beautiful gardens in common areas. Tree lecture

Ok so I literally never leave hotel reviews but that changed after staying at Kura! First, I must inform you that it’s a trek to get there driving wise (have them come pick you up) but once you get there OMG! The ambiance is insane and they undoubtedly have the best view in Uvita! Hands down! It doesn’t even matter which room you get. If you are lucky enough to get the room with the shower with the view of the ocean I promise you, you won’t want to leave! We didn’t either! The food was amazing! And the service was A1! This resort is the definition of a 5 star resort! I would highly recommend! The pool was amazing and the red lights in the room really set the mood! Overall me and my fiance agreed that this was the best resort we’ve ever stayed at and we’ve been to other 5 star resorts in the Almafi coast as well! You won’t be disappointed!

Kura is a beautiful hotel! I went for a solo trip and it was amazing but I do feel like this stay is for couples. Only because the facility only has a pool for an activity. The hotel does have excursions which include transportation for $25 there and back. Heading to the hotel there is a very steep hill that you must pay to come up and down from so I do recommend driving unless you plan on staying at the hotel most of the time. The food was also a little pricey and not much of a selection. There are about 5 different entrees that do not change day to day. Overall my stay was beautiful peaceful and quiet but very disclosed from a lot of things so I recommend having someone even if you do like solo trips

Für uns eines der besten Hotels in Costa Rica. Mit sehr hochwertiger Ausstattung und äußerst freundlichen Personal. Wunderschöner Blick auf die gesamte Bay daher hoch in den Bergen gelegen und nur mit Allrad erreichbar. Einen ticken raffinierter könnte die Küche sein. Etwas Schade wenn man die Suite 2 bekommt da diese von der Lage zu nahe am Restaurant liegt. Für uns überwiegt jedoch das Positive und es war ein sehr schöner Abschluss unserer Reise.

I can not say enough great things about Kura! Sindy, Sergio, Jay, Lalu, and the others were so amazing! They made sure our every need was taken care of. They anticipated any thing we might need and were beyond friendly. We had the infinity pool villa and oh my gosh it was beyond breathtaking! The view was amazing and we woke up every day to toucans playing in the trees right outside our room. The Kura stuff went out of their way to make our stay amazing! They drove us to any excursions we wanted to take and the drinks were amazing every time we arrived. The food is impeccable and you will not be disappointed. We were celebrating our 10 year anniversary and they made me room so romantic with fresh fruit and a custom dinner menu.

Hotel espectacular de montaña naturaleza y playa

El hotel es una joya de la arquitectura moderna y de casas en vidrio, las decoraciones, los muebles, los acabados son de altísima elegancia y sobriedad. Las duchas geniales, la distribución de la habitación sencillamente espectacular. La vista a la cola de Ballena es única, y la habitación está estratégicamente ubicada para que en todo momento se admire esa belleza de la naturaleza. En las mañanas los pájaros lo despiertan con los cantos y el esplendor de los árboles y las plantas le dan el resto del contraste de fuera naturaleza. La piscina de agua salada es con vista a la bahía con una profundidad segura y con una distancia para hacer natación en forma de relax. Se puede estar acostado en la piscina y en sus alrededores El comedor y las comidas, hechas con amor y dedicación, productos orgánicos y hasta cultivados ahí mismo. La atención desde el dueño hasta el jardinero 100% educados y super profesionales.
