Cano Island

Travel Guide

I dove with Costa Rica Dive and Surf, which left from their office in Uvita. The dive equipment was in great shape and they had multiple dive masters with us. The Cano Island dive it a sandy bottom, easy, 60 foot dive, with light to medium currents. I didn't see a ton of great stuff, but this school of fish was worth it in itself. The trip includes two dives, an island trip, snacks, lunch, all your equipment rentals, etc. $175 per person for the day. Expensive, but supposed to be one of the best dive sites in CR, so worth it if you're in the area.

We had a great stay! The team is amazing, the food was delicious, and the view from the room was incredible. The hotel location was close to the beach and nearby restaurants. Be prepared for steps though as it's a bit of a walk up to the rooms.

7.2/10 Good! (5 reviews)
Room was clean although the bed was fairly soft & a little uneven. Unfortunately we were right by the pool with the pool towels (clean & a dirty basket) was by our door so people were often right by our door. Once we returned and a lady was holding a towel up so the other woman could change in front ...

Jose the concierge was the only redeeming factor, and the deck. The house is really old and run down, smelled like really bad disinfectant, the bathroom was the source of that smell, but the worst part was the amount of noise from trucks and motorcycles going by my window - 3:45AM and then from 5AM ...

This hotel was great! It was about a 10 min walk up from the beach with lots of good restaurants nearby.
