Arboura Eco Cabinas

I love this place so much! It’s my second time staying here while in Costa Rica and I hope not my last. If you are looking for something close to the beach, open air, surrounded by vegan food, this is your spot. The pool is amazing and refreshing and the staff is so flexible and helpful. Couldn’t recommend more!

Everything is great

An idyllic setting, a wonderful location. We were delighted by the vegetation and the surroundings upon arrival. The layout of the cabin (8) was perfect, with the proximity to the pool. I would have sincerely liked to give a perfect rating, but two things particularly bothered us. The curtains in the cabin did not cover the surface of the screens at all. NO privacy. Everyone could see inside from the pool. In addition, when we got up this morning, we noticed hundreds of ants in the kitchen and in our personal belongings. A huge disappointment compared to our level of satisfaction. Yes, the protection of the environment, but we would have appreciated it if the interior had been treated properly.

This Airbnb is located within a small community of other cabins in close proximity to one another with a shared pool with outdoor shower for rinsing, ping pong table, three shared hot showers, and beautiful seating areas. Inside your cabin, you have your own private bathroom with a cold shower (very refreshing especially after a day at the nearby beach in walking distance), and AC inside the bedroom. Surrounding the area, you can hear and see birds all throughout the day and even may see a monkey while visiting the beach trail on the way to see the “whale’s tail”. I loved that they provide a board with all kind of information (including when low tide is) to help guests know what is in close proximity of the cabins. Also, if you need laundry done during your stay, you can pay $12 USD, and they’ll do the laundry for you. Thanks for having us!

Thank you.

Had a great time with my mom and my boyfriend. It’s a family, or friends spot. Loved how close the beach was, and the restaurants around. Best part was the free bicycles- definitely made my time with my people more memorable. Even though we were able to park, the parking is limited and only 6-7 cares can park inside; if you’re comfortable parking outside then I see no issues. It’s a natural hotel meaning you might have nature guests just embrace it.

We had an incredibly lovely time at the Arboura Eco Lodge. The cabanas are lovingly decorated and are truly located in the heart of the lush green jungle. Macaws, hummingbirds, and other birds included. Beautiful, partly shaded pool in the center, with sun loungers and a terrace. Three minutes to the beach, which is part of Ballena National Park. Also very popular with surfers. Restaurants and cafes within walking distance. A true vacation paradise!

What a gem! A little slice of jungle heaven steps from the beach. The cabañas were rustic and comfortable. The pool was clean and refreshing. The hosts were warm, welcoming and helpful. The common areas were inviting. Loved not having windows (only mosquito screens in #5) giving onto the jungle! It felt like we were immersed in nature. Even the geckos, our roommates, were cute and welcoming :). Loved everything about my experience here. If you are looking for high end luxury, steer clear. If you don’t mind sharing your space with Pura Vida Costa Rican nature, then you’ll love this place. Cabin 5 is the best imho fyi-with windows facing the jungle. The only downside (for me) are the dj parties some of the neighbouring hostels and restaurants hold. But they end early (10pm’ish). Last note: if you’re looking for pure nature quiet, this may not be for you. You do hear the cars in the nearby roads too. But that’s a small price to pay for paradise and proximity :).

The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Walk to everything… it’s the rainy season right now.. laying on the screened porch listening to the rain is so therapeutic. Macaws, butterflies and birds happily fluttering around all day was delightful. This is an authentic beach cabin experience. Staff is warm and inviting… this is not a luxury stay, but it’s a grounding and soul cleansing experience. Bedroom had a/c and kept the humidity and heat at bay for sleeping… but I wouldn’t spend an unnecessary moment in the room when nature surrounds you. Def will be back ❤️

The perfect spot in Uvita! Super convenient location steps away from the beach and Bellena National Park. Staff was incredibly helpful and kind. The only thing is to make sure you park correctly (parallel parking rather than at an angle) if parking outside to avoid the police removing your license plate. The pool and common area was perfect for our family and we thought the grounds were a beautiful. It's not luxury, but it was exactly what we needed. We've already recommended this place to others!

Very nice place, a few minutes walk to Marino Ballena Park. We parked the car and did everything on foot! The pool is a lovely asset. The cabins are spacious, well-equipped for cooking, the air conditioning in the bedroom is appreciable. Bikes and bodyboards can be borrowed! Great value!

Host Response

Merci beaucoup pour votre belle évaluation ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié l’emplacement, la piscine et le confort des cabines. C’est toujours un plaisir d’accueillir des personnes qui profitent pleinement de la nature et de l’environnement. Merci de nous avoir choisis et d’avoir valorisé avec cœur ce que nous offrons. Pura vida, Nata.

Great location. Restaurant within walking distance. Entrance to Marino Ballena Park within 5 minutes' walk. Very relaxing place, seems to have been made with a lot of recycled materials which makes this beautiful place charming. Swimming pool with buoys, board games, ping pong table… everything we needed to settle in and relax. The hosts are very nice and are there to help you if needed. For info the Tracopa bus stop is a little far on foot it is better to take a taxi.

One thing is a rustic lodging, and another is neglected, we had broken sheets and bad smell on the mattresses. The cabins are not well built. The noise of the common areas in the rooms is very much heard. The truth we did not want to be hateful as the attention was fine, but at the end of the day you are paying for comfort and a neat place. I can't reach our expectations for the truth. How can someone make the bed and not realize that the bedding is broken?.

Great stay!

The location of the place we a short walk to the entrance to the park/beach. We grabbed surf and boogie boards right next door too. The grounds of the place were super cute and quaint! Ovi was very responsive and helpful, he did our laundry too. The only downsides were the uncomfortable beds, the power going out a few times, and the AC was only in one room and that room smelled like mildew. For the price though, it was a wonderful stay!

The home is exactly as described and in the photos. Ovi is easily accessible and very nice and helpful. The cabins are simple and equipped with the most necessary. Since they are made of wood and the windows are made of screens, you always have to expect an animal stuff. There was a room that was brick with air conditioning and the rest had fans. The beds are simple but ok. The kitchenette is well equipped. I particularly liked the string of lights, which made a great vibe. The shower is a garden hose and the water is cold. If you like to take a warm shower, go under the shared shower by the pool. The small complex is located in the middle of the greenery directly from there you can see monkeys and parrots. It's a two-minute walk to the national park, and there are also a few restaurants within walking distance. We can recommend Nativo, Kinsu and El Hornito. We felt comfortable there and had a good time.
