Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection

This place is AMAZING! The staff are the BEST part of this hotel, the views are second! We felt like time stood still at the Kura and left so relaxed! We had two massages during our stay and they were fantastic! The food will take your breath away!

I don't even want to tell anyone about this place, because I want to keep it all to myself. Then again, I must share my incredible experience. I have very high standards for hotels and hospitality in general and I can't say enough good things about this heavenly place. The attention to detail was unmatched. When we had an early morning excursion, they had towels, water bottles breakfast and coffee packed for us. When we arrived back at the hotel, the staff was waiting with a refreshing beverage and cold towel. When we left our room for a little, we got back to a spotless and clean room. The food was some of the best hotel food I've ever had; amazing flavor pairings, incredibly fresh ingredients, unique menu options that felt authentic with an American twist. Every time we asked for anything, whether it be a last minute request or a driver, they accommodated. Most importantly, I didn't feel like I was being ripped off in the slightest. The food, drinks and spa treatments were incredibly reasonably priced. The massage that I got was heavenly. I just stayed at the Nayara Tents shortly after, and noticed that they try to "get you" in various ways, like charging $10 for a water at dinner when I never asked for a water bottle and would have been fine with tap. Kura really took care of their customers, and it didn't feel as transactional as most hotels feel. When I got the bill instead of cringing, I was happy to pay up.

Simply wonderful. Upon arrival we where received very friendly and cheerful by the resort manager and his staff, a Tukan showed up as well and the view over their infinity pool towards the sea is breathtaking. Rooms are very nice, wonderful terrace, good food and nice service, the best hotel we have used during our trip. Any time again, just marvelous. And a great barkeeper as well! Not m uch to do around there, sojust enjoy the property, it is wonderful!

We have just returned from the most amazing 6 nights at this incredible property for our honeymoon. Emanuel was so kind to upgrade us to a master suite which completely took our breath away, safe to say we have never seen a more beautiful suite! We arrived at midnight and the staff were so kind to arrange food waiting for us as we’d had a long day travelling. The property itself is absolutely stunning, and the views completely took our breath away. It’s so tranquil and we had the most amazing bird-watching just sitting on the terrace. The food & drinks were all delicious, all the ingredients were so fresh and well put together. The staff truly made our visit so enjoyable, they were so personable & really went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed and we well looked after from the moment we arrived. The hotel helped book a number of activities for us (whale watching & a visit to Corcovado) and also put on complimentary daily activities such as cocktail making and rum tasting which was such a lovely touch (a huge thanks to Alonso who hade this great fun!!). I have no doubt we will be back and a huge thank you to Kura and all the amazing staff who made our trip so incredible!

Simply put, the Kura is a breathtakingly beautiful property and was an amazing hotel for us as honeymooners. It is extremely secluded, private, safe, and romantic. Images really don't do justice to the incredible 180-degree view of the coast centered on the town of Uvita and the Whale Tail. Our room was Master Suite #7. It was extremely spacious (I think 1500+ sf?), with a shower bigger than some bedrooms, and a super private patio with a pool, hammock, and lounge area. They service the room twice a day and even mop the floors both times so the room is always very clean. In the mornings, we woke up to the sounds of wildlife and got to watch toucans hanging out in the trees. We felt so relaxed and refreshed every day here. As for the hotel amenities, it is a small hotel so there is 1 restaurant / main pool area, but it is exquisite. The food portions are modest, but are very high quality with locally sourced ingredients, making us feel energized after every meal. The beef carpaccio, grilled chicken, spinach & ricotta ravioli, and steak were memorable. The cocktails were very unique and delicious. I also think the banana bread that comes with breakfast is the best I've ever had. There is also a free daily activity which we took advantage of (the rum tasting with a sunset view - incredible!) and they provide a daily complimentary round trip shuttle service into town. We had them drop us off at the national park by the Whale Tail which we explored and then did a walk all through Uvita which was a lot of fun. The staff knew us by name and were extremely friendly, conversational, and attentive. Some that we remember by name were our driver Janan, concierge Emanuel, and Noel, Willian, and Alonso who worked at the restaurant & bar. We really appreciated how much they made us feel welcome and cared for! My suggestion for improvement would be to notify guests ahead of time if construction will be taking place. There were 2 pools being built below the main pool and the noise was bothersome at times. Fortunately we were able to hang out by our room's pool instead, but not all guests had that luxury.

Amazing views, great rooms, and relaxing
