Fabulous Natural Setting

After cruising past the towns of Dominical and Uvita along the beautiful Costanera highway, one arrives at the gorgeous Hotel Cristal Ballena. With incredible views of the southern Pacific coastline. After settling into your beautifully decorated and spacious suite and enjoying your private view from the patio. Take a dip in the gigantic pool that overlooks the ocean as well. Don’t forget the incredible a la carte restaurant. Including also, great service and an impressive selection of both local and foreign cuisine. The Hotel Cristal Ballena’s location is away from the crowds, but also close to some of the country’s best activities and national parks, including Marina Ballena National Park, the epicenter of the impressive whale migration and perhaps one home to of the most awe-inspiring beaches in the country.

What Makes this Hotel so Unique

Views of the coast and spectacular sunsets are remarkable, also the lush green mountains surrounding the hotel itself are a site to behold. As the clouds roll over the neighboring mountains, listen to the sound of howler monkeys, observe the dozens of species of birds that I was able to see, or snap a few pictures of the sloths that call this place home. The southern zone is not at the top of many people’s lists, but it should be, as it is such a peaceful and intense natural setting, without all the crowds and lines of tourists. If you want to visit the hidden gems of the country, just ask us for some help. The food, service and accommodations at Hotel Cristal Ballena make for an incredibly comfortable stay in one of Costa Rica’s most impressive areas.
