This place has an outstanding view from the infinity pool, exceptional personal service from all the staff and is in a great location for exploring Uvita, Ballena and Dominical. The rooms were a little tired but perfectly functional and having a walk in wardrobe, huge shower & kitchenette made our stay more comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing location and food was excellent
Wow what a beautiful location. Staff were friendly and helpful but were very busy! This is a lovely place, food was excellent and room comfortable. Just a few minor things that could be improved - dripping tap, modernisation of bathroom but overall recommended for a quiet stay in a wonderful location with great food.

2/10 Poor

Deceiving!
I am sure 10 years ago the hotel was great. It’s just run down since it’s 2012 travel awards they received. Staff was nice but room was out dated and affected by the years of humidity. Firstly it was a challenge to locate the property. Zero signage indicating its location distance/direction to villas. Locks on doors were not functional for the patio and outdoor shower. The bed was probably the hardest mattress I have ever slept on. Sink water unsafe for consumption (teeth brushing, face washing, etc.) Property at night is not well lit, especially in the parking lot that is a distance from the hotel reception. Overall just needs to be maintained and cleaned up.

Upon booking, prior to arrival, and during our stay the staff was attentive and helpful, including recommending a 4WD rental. They booked several activities for us and shared recommendations for restaurants and additional sites. Service was excellent in the dining room, and the popen air massage was amazing.

This hotel is overpriced for the place, not much things to do in the hotel, and staff is not friendly. For this price there are a lot better options in Costa Rica

8/10 Very Good

Nice small hotel with excellent service. The views of the ocean from our balcony were beautiful and the setting was very peaceful. The room was very clean. The only draw back was that the room had a bad odor - maybe an issue with the drains or septic system. The air conditioner helped to mask it a little, but it persisted throughout the 2 night stay. Hopefully it was just our room and it can be fixed.

6/10 Good

PROS 1) Geral works in the bar/restaurant, and is a great asset to this place. 2) The view CONS 1) awful hard beds, gave us neck/back aches 2) massage terrible, boyfriend felt the gentle caress, short gasping breath, trembling hands, and sweat falling on him from masseuse victor. 3) Diego at front desk does not care. Not into customer service. 4) awful food. Ceviche with bones in it that one could choke on. Thai curry inedible. Dessert with nuts that people aren't made aware of, beware if have allergies, as Diego won't tell you about it. 5) water pressure is a trickle in sink and shower, room 3. 6) did not get the Expedia VIP benefits of $23 food discount

Stay at Tiki
We loved our stay at Tiki and enjoyed the solitude and peaceful surroundings. The staff was so pleasant and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. The manager was so helpful and enjoyable to speak with. Our only comment would be regarding the breakfast. Sometimes the food did not come out hot and seemed to have been prepared earlier. It was not necessarily fresh tasting. We enjoyed our stay and will certainly return.

Lovely staff, terrific restaurant onsite; terrific ocean view with lots of birds. Cons: no place to sit in the room other than on the beds. The balcony deck has a table and a couple of chairs that we moved inside; toilet sounded like the furnace failing in A Christmas Story. Overall the rooms could use a facelift.

Such an incredible recluse feel, with gorgeous views of the ocean. The 4x4 only road continues past the resort up to the very top of a look out, where we saw monkeys and watched a spectacular sunset. The team at Tiki Villas were kind, and it was absolutely serene and peaceful. Very convenient location, immaculate grounds, and the feel of the seclusion was what made it perfect. Wonderful place for reflection, grounding and peace for the soul. Will absolutely recommend and stay again!

I have never walked into a hotel and just wanted to stay put. This place is up the hill with a view overlooking the ocean. We swam as we did some bird watching and watched the sun set. Our alarm was set to the howler monkeys. The staff were friends that we hung out with sharing about the surroundings. The chef, who took advantage of the local culture made the best food that you could not get enough. Why would I ever leave this place??

It is a great place to relax since it's adults only and there aren't many villas. What we were most dissapointed was by the restaurant. Breakfast was acceptable but our experience with dinner was not good, the food was greasy, portions were small and the price was too high. I would definitely encourage people to eat out in many great restaurants in Dominical and Uvita. We had to eat at the hotel because of Covid restrictions. To top it off, we ordered a creme brulee and it was easily the worst one I have ever tried, and I have a sweet tooth and eat just about everything.
