About the Hotel

7 Km Al Sur De Uvita, Costa Ballena, Uvita, Costa Rica, 00000

Cristal Ballena Boutique Hotel & Spa is a beautiful four-star Mediterranean-style hotel that rests on a rainforest-covered hill overlooking the famed Ballena Marine National Park, a crucial site for the world's Pacific Humpback Whales to reproduce and give birth.

Ocean View Accommodations

Mediterranean-styled suites at Cristal Ballena Boutique Hotel & Spa feature spacious balconies with ocean views. Each air-conditioned accommodation includes flat-screen satellite TV, minibar, coffee maker, and private bathrooms with hydromassage showers.

Tropical Dining Experience

The Pura Vida restaurant offers a wonderful way to start the morning with the song of the clay-colored robin and the overflight of parrots. Guests can enjoy fine dining at the gourmet restaurant or refreshments at the pool bar.

Adventure and Relaxation

Snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, surfing, bird-watching, whale-watching, hiking, horseback riding and boat tours are available during your stay at Hotel Cristal Ballena. The Jungle Trail is an excellent place to see birds and animals of the rainforest, while the large swimming pool provides relaxation opportunities.

Scenic Natural Setting

From its exclusive setting on a lushly forested hill, the hotel overlooks the magnificent beach of Playa Ballena and the Ballena Marine National Park by the town of Uvita. Guests can walk to the famous "Whale's Tail" - a sandy isthmus with a natural rock formation that creates a protected bay in the shape of a giant whale's tail at low tide.
