The Rainforest Environment
Punta Uva is located in the rainforest, so guests can expect a combination of sunshine and tropical showers. These frequent rains help keep the area lush and full of life.
Staying in the jungle also means sharing the surroundings with its natural residents, including ants, raccoons, colorful birds, and other rainforest wildlife. This is an essential part of the unique experience.

This is an excellent option for large groups. It's in a very good location, and the house is nice and spacious. It's close to the beach, and the service is very good.

Great spot and plenty of room for a bigger group! My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The deck was a nice area to hangout on and we loved the pool! 5 out of the 6 bedrooms have air conditioning so we didn’t end up sleeping in the 6th.. but we were very comfortable otherwise. Highly recommend!

The house is perfect for large groups. It has all the amenities, and I loved that it's just steps from Punta Uva beach.

Spacious house with several areas. Ideal for groups or big families. The pool was enjoyed quite a bit, especially by the children. The private path to the beach is beautiful. The house, surrounded by nature, provides an atmosphere of complete tranquility. The place is safe. You have to be careful with the little possums, but the host gives us recommendations not to leave the kitchen door open, because otherwise those bandits will party. Very comfortable beds. It would be a place I'd come back to.

It's a beautiful house in the middle of the jungle and very close to the beach. Each room has its own bathroom, and the common areas are super spacious and ideal for large groups. Daniel and the hosts responded super quickly and were very attentive. Highly recommended :)

All in all a good experience. We were surprised some of the rooms had air conditioning. On the profile it appears that there is no air conditioning.

A great place, a spacious house with rooms that have individual bathrooms and ample space to accommodate up to 16 people. The place is beautiful, surrounded by nature. From the house's terrace, we could see raccoons, sloths, coatis, toucans, morphos, and many other birds. Highly recommended!
