Adelante Hotel: Ojochal's most happening hotel/bar/restaurant

First of all i would like to state that 10 km south of Uvita is a great village called Ojochal. Me and my wife made a quick stop there before driving to Panama and we found a lush looking hotel just by the costanera sur highway. First the place looked quite expensive but as we were talking to the owners (who are from Estonia - now i know where it is haha) we found out that the prices were very reasonable (if you ask me they should ask double for the quality they offer!!). The hotel is all designed by the owners and it has many artistic details. Room was very clean and it included breakfast aswell. To our suprise the hotel had a restaurant and a lounge area were we had dinner. I dont want to sound like the owner of this place but the food was out of this world!! The chef is from Canada and really knows how to make things taste unbelievable. Also there was a DJ playing chilled lounge music when we were staying there. And the staff were all young voulanteers from Estonia who really sparked up the place.

So anyways we really fell in love with the place and stayed a few extra days there enjoying the great atmosphere and the pool. So if anyone is heading down central pacific be sure to drop by Adelante hotel (www.adelantehotel.net)

Unique Quality: Massive pool, ocean view in one of the cabinas, ocean is 500 meters from the place. Restaurant food is just off this world, live music and DJs on the weekends, the whole hotel is on a hill and the landscaping is just very creative, PRICE ISNT PER PERSON BUT PER ROOM so it doesnt matter if theres 1 or 3 of you!

• Opinion of Price: less expensive than average
• Address: Ojochal, South Pacific, 100 meters before the Ojochal entrance

El Bosque: Stay in the Jungle by the Highway

We stayed at this inn in May of 2005. We paid about $38USD/night, including breakfast, no TV, no A/C for a room. They do have larger units w/kitchens. There is no internet available but there is a nice internet cafe just a click or two down the road. This inn consists of numerous small buildings with vartious number of units in each for a max of about 9 units. Room was nice with a balconey overlooking the jungle with a very, very small view of the ocean. Shower is of the standard Costa Rica suicide type. Grounds are very lush and very weel maintained, a very pretty setting. Breakfast was continental style served outside on a small verandah attached to the owners quarters. There is a small pool. There were a lot of mosquitoes in the evenings. There is a fantastic trail through the jungle to the beach. The beach is not great for swimming but it is a very interesting place to walk. We liked this place so well we considered buying it as it was for sale at the time. Compared to the two places we stayed at in Dominical, this inn was pure heaven.
