Hotel Cuna del Angel

What guests think

At Hotel Cuna del Angel, guests frequently praise the friendly, accommodating staff and the beautiful, tranquil setting with a clean pool and views, while noting trade-offs like traffic noise from the nearby highway and some dated or aging features.

Rooms are often comfortable and spacious, though guests mention occasional maintenance problems (e.g., AC or TV issues), musty or sewage smells in some areas, and many stairs around the property. The restaurant and breakfast earn strong marks for quality, including gluten free options, but several note limited selection and higher prices for food and bar items. The location is convenient for reaching Dominical and Uvita and is easy to find, yet it is not on the beach and transport is often needed to get around. A relaxed boutique stay with clear trade-offs.

We liked the hotel overall. The bedroom was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was limited but really good. The pool is perfect. Regarding the hotel’s location it’s both good and bad. Good because it’s easy to get to Uvita but bad because of the noise coming from the highway.

Really lovely, intimate retreat. Staff are all friendly and attentive. The restaurant is convenient and truly wonderful. Probably our favorite option for dining in the area. Such amazing attention to detail throughout the grounds, and even the raw botanicals shower products were a delight to use. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a serene retreat after a day of surfing or enjoying the national parks (the staff provided us with a list of nearby beaches with information and directions to find them). There is a shuttle to Domi I think, and saw some taxis lift a few guests but we rented a car as it was the easiest way to access all the surf spots and parks. It was easy to park and 24 hr security so your things are safe

Last time we were at this hotel was 11 years ago, and it hasn't changed much. The hotel looks tired, it definitely needs upgrades. The toilets in our room barely flushed and based on the size of the water tank, it certainly wasn't eco-friendly. There was also a terrible sewage smell, not sure if it is their septic system or from elsewhere but it needs to be looked at. The restaurant staff were very nice and accommodating.

I arrived to the property and they told me I had to pay for my room, when I’m fact it was prepaid and use Expedia points. I was refuse check in or any benefits. Took me a long time to get wifi because I was not consider a guess to be able to contact Expedia. They refuse to help or contact Expedia and even after I show my own credit cart statement showing payment and Expedia recite. I was treat it as if I want it to steal from them. Them they put me on a floor where there was no easy access next to the kitchen and food smell was very strong. Staff was rude even after Expedia agent help me. Next day they were still rude and I had to ask for my free drink and they told me they had to find out if I rate the drink. There is was no benefit. Horrible experience. My money and Expedia points were wasted and a very uncomfortable experience. I feel i trough my money and points away. Very disappointed.

Convenient for reaching Dominical and Uvita, easy to find, and parking is straightforward. Downsides are proximity to the highway causing noise, lack of direct beach access or shuttles, and a car is often needed.

We originally found the restaurant La Palapa during our first trip to Costa Rica and fell in love with it. We have been "saying" we wanted to stay at the hotel for a few years. This finally happened for our 5th anniversary and again a week later with friends. It won't be our last. The rooms are comfortable, although the beds are a little on the stiff side. And note, the king room reserved was only a queen. But for a couple of nights, it was doable. The rooms are roomy, the showers are hot, and the amenities are good. Each room has a small TV, a safe, and even a cooler to take out by the pool. The staff is beyond accommodating, friendly, and helpful! Did I already say the restaurant is gluten-free and amazing? The veggies come from their organic garden, and their ingredients are fresh. We have yet to have a bad meal. Breakfast is included in the morning. We now live in Costa Rica, and there are many great places to stay. Hotel Cuna del Angel is at the top of our list—a great little boutique hotel outside Dominical.
