Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection

We have just returned from the most amazing 6 nights at this incredible property for our honeymoon. Emanuel was so kind to upgrade us to a master suite which completely took our breath away, safe to say we have never seen a more beautiful suite! We arrived at midnight and the staff were so kind to arrange food waiting for us as we’d had a long day travelling. The property itself is absolutely stunning, and the views completely took our breath away. It’s so tranquil and we had the most amazing bird-watching just sitting on the terrace. The food & drinks were all delicious, all the ingredients were so fresh and well put together. The staff truly made our visit so enjoyable, they were so personable & really went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed and we well looked after from the moment we arrived. The hotel helped book a number of activities for us (whale watching & a visit to Corcovado) and also put on complimentary daily activities such as cocktail making and rum tasting which was such a lovely touch (a huge thanks to Alonso who hade this great fun!!). I have no doubt we will be back and a huge thank you to Kura and all the amazing staff who made our trip so incredible!

Simply wonderful. Upon arrival we where received very friendly and cheerful by the resort manager and his staff, a Tukan showed up as well and the view over their infinity pool towards the sea is breathtaking. Rooms are very nice, wonderful terrace, good food and nice service, the best hotel we have used during our trip. Any time again, just marvelous. And a great barkeeper as well! Not m uch to do around there, sojust enjoy the property, it is wonderful!

When we read the reviews of Kura prior to booking our stay we both said there is no way it’s THAT nice. We were wrong. We were pleasantly surprised with the little details that Kura has thought of. Like someone waiting with warm towels and a drink every time you pull up to the entrance after a day of exploring. Twice a day housekeeping with an awesome turn down service. A concierge team that makes you feel like you’re the ONLY guest in the hotel. Calling us both by our first names with every interaction made us feel like family/friends with the staff. The staff was the friendliest we’ve encountered at any hotel anywhere. They provided an iPad upon check in that was our method of communicating with everyone, looking at menus, making dinner reservations or anything else you need. The star of the show is the view. Words cannot describe the sight, sounds and smells you experience staying on top of a mountain in a rainforest overlooking the ocean. Privacy is obviously a priority and most rooms only have 3 walls with the ocean facing wall open or has a sliding glass door. It was great taking showers in the open air! The architecture was amazing and the food is 5 star. You won’t want to do or eat anything off the property because it’s all so good. But if you do they will take care of setting up anything you want with great care. One of our tour guides that works regularly with Kura said they really look after “their people”. When we left for our morning excursions our room was made up and cleaned to perfection. We both had the same thing every morning for breakfast because what we chose was so good and we looked forward to it every morning. My girlfriend is a vegetarian so they happily removed the bacon from her breakfast burrito. The only negative was the limited vegetarian selections for dinner. One of which (Spinach Ravioli) wasn't available every night we were there. When we went for dinner, housekeeping would come in again and make up the room, put on some mood lighting, light candles, leave little gifts, draw the curtains, etc. It seems like we were constantly saying “wow” during our 4 night stay. The pool area seems to be made for Instagram photos. There isn’t a better place to spend time. We ate at the restaurant, in a pool lounger, room service, it was all perfect and handled with great attention to detail. Everyone mentions the drive up the mountain. And it’s no joke. You can NOT get there with a normal car. Only a 4x4 will do and it’s not for the feint of heart. But that part is only about 10 minutes of the drive. But honestly that almost adds to the coolness of the property. Like when you get there it wasn’t easy and you felt like you just climbed Mount Everest and now you get to enjoy the spoils of your effort. We know that anyplace we stay after this is going to have to be pretty extreme to impress us more than Kura did.
