Nature's Edge Boutique Hotel

Wow. Everything was just perfect. If we could give it 10 points, we would. It's not just the location and the view that make this stay so special, but above all the two hosts Joe and Keith. They are so attentive and pay attention to every little detail. At breakfast in the morning you feel like you're having breakfast with the family. You exchange ideas with other guests and the two of them had such valuable tips for us. On two days, they brought us super tasty smoothies and fresh banana bread as we were unable to take part in breakfast. They have even put together their own homepage with the menus of the surrounding restaurants and provided the cell phone numbers of the suppliers. There is so much more to the service. :) The houses are big enough and the shower is really a dream because you have the feeling of showering in the jungle. You are only separated from nature by a fly screen. The view from the balconies is a dream. In the middle of the complex there is a pool area with an outdoor kitchen, which can be used by all guests. Various birds like to fly around here in the morning. It was definitely our best accommodation in Costa Rica. We hope to come back again sometime. Thank you! Melanie and Mirko

Giving 5 stars is inadequte to express how incredible our stay was at Natures Edge. Everything was top notch. The rooms were immaculate, bed and pillows couldn't have been more comfortable. Keith and Joe, the host, were kind, incredibly accomodating and a lot of fun to talk with. The breakfast was great with no shortcuts taken. Even when they served pancakes for breakfast, the syrup was real maple syrup from Vermont, none of that Aunt Jemima stuff. Every detail was perfect, the view was amazing from either of the 2 units we stayed in. In virtually every place we have ever vacationed, the hotel room was a place you went at the end of the day, not at Natures Edge. Just sitting on the deck admiring the view was a soul stirring experience, and a great way to spend a couple of hours. I honestly don't think I could find a negative thing to say. Stay there and try to prove me wrong.

If you’re looking for a +5 star place in Uvita, this is the perfect place to stay at. The owners are beyond helpful, knowledgeable about the area, and are extremely easy going people. Accommodations are top notch in a gorgeous jungle setting with all the up to date Amenities available to you. The perfect combo for relaxation with lots of nearby sites and activities for those who want to get out as well. I will be booking there again without a doubt

We ended our first trip to Costa Rica, in Uvita, at Nature's Edge. We travelled the Pacific Coast, but it wasn't until we got to Uvita that we experienced the true jungle. Nature's Edge is tucked away about 2 miles up a steep road (you truly do need a 4x4 to access it, but we had a little AWD Suzuki, that we put in manual mode, and that did the trick just fine). Once you turn into the property you pass the first two casita's on your left, and if you're lucky, you booked one of the lower casitas (Aracari and Heliconia), which brings you to the breathtaking views. We stayed at Aracari (named after a small toucan - we saw the Fiery billed) and the views and sounds of the jungle were incredible. We woke each morning to a view of the mountains, sounds of Howler monkey's, Yellow Fronted toucans, and various other birds and insects; it's like, "Alexa, play sounds of the jungle" in real life. Joe & Keith leave you wanting for nothing. The casitas are well equipped. Although there isn't a full kitchen, there is a shared kitchen by the salt water pool, and the casitas have everything you need to prepare a meal, as well as a dorm-sized fridge. Keith & Joe also offer their spices, herbs from their garden, oils, pots/pans, and cooking utensils for guests to use. This is also where you'll have a delicious, home-made by Joe, breakfast each morning. The casita's balcony serves as an outdoor living room with a hammock and two rocking chairs. We spent most of our time out here marveling at the view and listening to all nature offered us; bring your binoculars! The bed was very comfortable, pillows too, and the large shower was inviting after a day on the water. I have only one regret, and it's a big one. When we were leaving I mentioned to Keith & Joe that when people book for two nights there should be a warning, a disclaimer if you will. Well, here's your warning - DON'T DO IT!!! You need, at minimum, four nights to feel fulfilled. This place is so special, both Nature's Edge and Uvita, that two nights is a rip off. We sold ourselves short and WHEN we come again, we'll be spending more time exploring beautiful Uvtia, and throughly enjoying our stay. If you like to be some-what secluded, be a little bit pampered, and be blown away by all nature's glory, you don't want to pass up an opportunity to stay here.
