This hotel is top-end. Very comfortable room, the best view, the birds and other wildlife, it’s relaxing atmosphere and extremely friendly staff. They will do anything to make your stay a fantastic one. Thank you George, Geovanny and Monica!

Exceptionally good value-for-money. Small (about 14 rooms), modern, hotel in a good location for visiting various places e.g. Catarata Uvita, Nauyaca Waterfalls, Parque Nacional Marino Ballena, Hacienda Baru Wildlife Refuge. Many evening dining out options in the local vicinity, although the hotel owner told us there are plans to offer an evening meal option at Ballena Rey very soon. We had room 12: good balcony space, with 2 armchairs, small table top and 2 stalls, cacti at each end of the balcony, ceiling fan; the open plan kitchen and living room area was spacious, with air-conditioning and ceiling fan, 2 armchairs, TV, table and 2 chairs and sufficiently equipped kitchen (though 2 rings for cooking would be preferable to the one ring provided) and good-sized fridge/freezer; spacious shower room with hot water (some of the places we stayed at during our 31 night trip didn't have hot water); bedroom - reasonably comfortable bed, hanging and shelf storage space, air-conditioning and ceiling fan, one bedside table. Very good buffet breakfast - the breakfast ladies did a great job and it was lovely to be able to choose what you wanted, how much you wanted, in what order etc. Very good cleaning service provided in the room and in the hotel grounds. Lovely pool, which we made good use of. And the staff were all very friendly! We really enjoyed our stay at Ballena Rey and were sorry to leave.

Our stay was faultless. The staff were always available, friendly and professional as well as very knowledgable. The entire hotel, the rooms and the grounds were stunning, there is even a trail you can follow to spot wildlife. The restaurant and bar were brilliant, with exceptional food.

The most wonderfull place located in the middle of the Forest. The staff was excellent, knowing you by name from the first day. Always caring. The food was at the level of a Michelin star Restaurant. The location, views and amenities of the Hotel were perfect.

This place is pure perfection and beyond, deserving so much more than just a 10. Just being there, surrounded by nature, in beautifully maintained facilities, was one of the highlights of our Costa Rican experience. Keith and Joe are truly the most wonderful hosts and made our stay the most relaxing and cozy. Thank you so much and wish you all the best!
