Guest Reviews
Location
Nestled between Uvita and Bahia, Luminosa Uvita Hostel offers a unique location that balances natural charm with accessibility to local attractions. While some may find it a bit removed from the main road and central amenities, its proximity to Marino Ballena National Park is a significant advantage for nature enthusiasts. The hostel sits on a dirt road, which may add to the rustic charm for some visitors, but those without a vehicle might find it less convenient for accessing nearby beaches and stores. However, a short bike ride can make trips to the beach enjoyable. The hostel is conveniently placed between the bus stop and the beach, making it somewhat accessible for those relying on public transport. Guests can enjoy the proximity to a local fruit and vegetable stand as well as a supermarket and coffee shop, and while a bit distant from the hustle and bustle, the atmosphere remains inviting and positive, enhanced by spacious and clean common areas complete with hammocks.
