The maneger made us feel at home from we came till we left. We stayed for 4 nights ( 1 extra) He was very helpfull and friendly. The rooms were sporless, clean towels every day, extra towel for swimming-pool and most important, they emptied the bin every day. If you are looking for a hotel where you are not just another guest, but truly seen and appreciated – then Alborada Boutique Stay is the place to be. Thank you so much for a memorable stay.

We came for 2 nights in tent. We finally stayed 4 nights. I could just stop by saying that. This place is just amazing: I cannot tell about the rooms (looks like there is rooms close to the pool and small houses for families), but concerning the tents it’s just the most beautiful stay we had in Costa Rica. The tents are like 5 m away from the river, into the forest, very quiet and peaceful. You can of course swim into the river if you are not too cold and you have all the wild animals around you such as monkeys and birds. The owner, David, gave us everything to cook with and mattress. He’s very helpful and always trying to find solutions. You have access to sanitary (not luxurious but efficient enough) and you have also access to the pool. Last but not least you are close to a maxi pali (10/15 mins away by foot) and to the Uvita beach (which is free, same distance than Pali). Just Better than all the accommodations we saw in Uvita and super cheap !

The pictures don’t serve the property justice, it’s much better in person. The bungalow is very spacious and ideal for a family of 5 adults, with its own private patio space and access to the pool and hot tub. Very quiet and private and a perfect place to spend Christmas.

There's an uplifted elegant energy throughout the grounds, from the security guard to the cleaning staff. Our two story unit smelled like rich wood. The layout was excellent design for safety, privacy, and super comfortable beds, chairs. AC was great in each bedroom, fans, curtains all clean and in great condition. The bathrooms lighting, hot water and linen quality were exceptional. It is worth mentioning that there we few mosquitos for Ojochal. The space is ample and well equipped for cooking or working remotely, even if there were several occupants. I could stay here long term. My 14 year relaxed. He enjoyed the pool, and commented on how intelligent the whole plaza was with a pharmacy, spa services, bar, store and restaurant all weaved together with hotel. We cannot say enough about the restaurant and we booked another night at end of trip because my son has to come back for more. Citrus is a gem. Families can relax and enjoy pool day, see many bird and plant species.

Was only here for a night but loved it. It’s very clean and looks nice, I would say better than the photos. I stayed in the «Superior Pod in a room of 10» and it was great. Comfy, privacy, aircon, space to put your bag by your bed, big locker, lights and charging outlets by your bed. We got free towels and really good free breakfast. Friendly staff and plenty of social area. Super near the bus station. Really good pizzeria next door. Highly recommend!

And on the top we have been given free room upgrade. Many reasons why we extended our stay by one more overnight.
