I am surrounded by mountains, forest, and the occasional farm on this bus ride. Onboard are thirty other Ticos chattering away, laughing, and telling each other stories about their week. I turn to the window and enjoy in the Costa RIcan countryside. At this moment, I think to myself, 'You know what, I think right now is a good time for wine.'

"Excellent contrast between the neomodern architecture of Casa Rio Tortuga and the surrounding tropical jungle typical in this part of Costa Rica. Aaron was more than just helpful with our daily excursions rrstaurant"

"We had an exceptional experience at Canavida. Jess communicated with us well in advance and gave us the details for a smooth checkin, many recommendations for activities, restaurants and local spots. She was communicative throughout our stay. The property is breathtaking, with an infinity pool overlooking the ocean. The amenities had everything we needed, including an outdoor grill for a nice home cooked dinner. We are already planning our trip to Canavida for next year and plan to stay even...

"Nous avons dormi dans un container! Air climatisé, cafetière, réchaud, personnel sympathique."

"My kids and I had a lovely 4 night stay in Uvita. The property is very conveniently located near the beach and restaurant and markets options."

"This place made us fall in love with the area! Eric the owner greeted us to direct us on the 15 min ride up. Be prepared with a 4x4 and some steep rocky moments. When you get up there and truly enjoy the facilities - it is PARADISE! Explore, take a swim, cook, hike, wake to the howling monkey's, the leaf cutting ants, butterflies plus so much more. Take in the nature of this special gem that is off the grid and brilliantly designed. We will be back! Thank you VACASA & Eric!"

5/5 Excellent

"The property is amazing! I have been traveling to Costa Rica since 1990 and I can tell you Canavida is one of the best values ever. From the initial communication and through the entire stay I was impressed. The condo we stayed at was perfect. Clean, well appointed, ocean views right out the back sliding glass doors, etc. I could go on. This is 100% a place I would highly recommend when in the Dominical/Uvita area. Just make sure to get a 4x4 to make access to the property as it is up the hill a little but do not let that discourage you. It is more than worth it. "

5/5 Excellent

"We loved our stay. All of the on-site meals were delicious and there were so many options to choose from. There were also a variety of unique drinks at the bar. Property grounds are beautiful with many plants and birds. The lounge net in front of the pool is a great place to watch the sunset with views down the mountain of Uvita beach. There is also a gorgeous yoga shala with the same views and yoga props available if you wish to practice on your own, plus yoga classes according to the schedule. We had a blissful stay! Note that you will need a 4x4 to get to the property. "
