Nice place, pool, close to beach. Downside is the restaurant music system which runs from 10am to 10pm. During the day it’s just loud, at night it’s blaring and pounding. First evening was merely unpleasant, second was worse as there was an event in the restaurant.

Great location close to the beach
Closest hotel to the beach.
All round very good condition and lovely pool but little bit of an issue with a drain - but no big deal
We’ve booked again for the trip back up the coast

Very nice hotel, room was great, comfy location. Limited on site parking but plenty of spaces along the road. The adjoining restaurant was very good. Great location for the beach. just note that the restaurant plays music for most of the evening and people by the pool so could be quite noisy till about 10pm depending where your room is, wasn't a problem for me but maybe for some.

Hotel Yuli a place of tranquility
Beautiful place to chill and relax Helpful and friendly staff
Wonderful relaxing pool would suggest perhaps a few more loungers as they were taken very quickly
Room was wonderful we were fortunate to have a little kitchenette which was great.
In all a fabulous experience

We really liked this place. It was a 5 minute walk from the park entrance and plenty of bars and restaurants. The pool as great and never crowded at all. There is also a restaurant on site, I believe it was called Seba's, and it is absolutely fantastic. Seba's provided by far the best service we had anywhere in Costa Rica. I highly recommend staying here due to the quality of the facility, the location and the convenience of having such a great bar/restaurant on site.
Matthew
2/10 Poor
We have stayed here several times, but never again. The parking is terrible. The walls are thin. The restaurant plays loud music too late at night. The staff will not ensure that loud gusts stop making noise late at night. The patio doors don’t work well. Theee are better places to stay in Uvita.

As I red multiples complaints about the loud music on Trip Advisor, well they just don't give a quack. Loud music from noon t'il ten everyday. Not a place to relax. Location is alright. Must pay to go to the beach 3 min walk nearby. If you want to relax...don't go there

8/10 Very good
Clean and big rooms however with space unused wherea sofa or a small table could fit. No TV. Nice bathroom with hot water. Restaurant on site is not property owned/managed with limited and pretentious menu, overpriced and with loud music until 10 pm. I would say that the only inconvenience at this hotel is the noise at night in case you want to rest early. Property is 4 blocks away from national park. And few Restaurants close by.

The front desk guy was ok, better than the girl. I hardly slept as I got woken up around 630 or 645 by cleaners outside my room. I couldn't go to sleep early as I was next to the bar. The staff didn't tell me that when you go to the park/beach, you can't pay admission with cash. So I had to walk back with all my stuff to get a card. Irritating. There is limited parking in the lot, so had to park on the road.

Really bad experience with the hotel
Really bad. After a long trip from Santa Teresa to Uvita we arrived at Yuli to check in. They told me they haven’t had a room for me and that my reservation was for a day after. I had my reservation confirmation and showed them it was on that day that we arrived. They didn’t had any room for us (I made the reservation one or two months before). They gave us an alternative for the night, an airb&b which was nice. Still we lost a lot of time, also for the next day we had to do the check in at yuli at 2 so we couldn’t do any long activities. I asked if they could somehow make up for it and they told me they would check and never answered anything. Also they say they have laundry service which isn’t true. They have a contact and you give her your clothes and pay extra so she picks the clothes up and brings them back. Also, our room was by the restaurant which was soooo loud.
The receptionist were really nice and friendly though and helped with the tours and everything.
