Bungalows Punta Uva

Past the last cluster of sodas and surf shops on the road out of Puerto Viejo, Bungalows Punta Uva sits where the Caribbean coast curves into one of the quietest stretches of beach in Limón province. Private bungalows face a garden rather than a car park, each with a balcony, air conditioning, and a coffee machine — rare at this end of the Talamanca shore.

The property's outdoor pool sits a short walk from the beach, where umbrellas and loungers are maintained for guests. An on-site restaurant offers themed dinners and kids' meals, and the tour desk arranges excursions into Cahuita National Park and the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge, both within easy cycling distance via rental bikes.

Punta Uva's reef-protected swimming is calmer than Puerto Viejo town, making it a practical base for families.
