Beautiful property. Villas are private and very well appointed. My only suggestion is to stock up on groceries so you can make your own meals if you want to. The kitchens have everything you need to do so. Amazing property and amazing staff!

The property is stunning and our accommodations in the Tree House was a one of a kind experience. Mark and Marlo were super host and their hospitality sets the pace for everyone else on site; everyone was very friendly and make their guests feel welcome. Breakfasts, which are included, were a highlight as were our dinners which were excellent and reasonable, at a fixed price. Of the three boutique hotels we stayed at, Ranch Pacifico was the most expensive, but like the saying goes, you get what you pay for and I’m my opinion, there was an abundance of value at this very special resort. We’ll be back!

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Ballena vacation package cost?
We make it simple to explore the world, with Ballena packages starting from as little as $1,336. You’ll have the flexibility to bundle your preferred hotels, airlines and car rental. For the ultimate escape, why not add a few tours and experiences to your travel itinerary?
How do I get a cheap travel package to Ballena?
One of the easiest ways to save money (and time) is to bundle your bookings with Expedia. Hotels, flights, activities and rental cars — we’ve got everything you need. Choose the combination that suits your style and watch your savings pile up. Of course, a package deal is never one-size-fits-all. That’s why we offer more than 550 partner airlines and 1,000,000 hotels globally, which lets you customize your Ballena vacation.
What are the top hotels in Ballena?
For properties in Uvita with comfy beds and friendly service, check out Villas Rio Mar and Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa. If you’re stopping by Dominical as well, you’ll get a good night’s sleep at Crocs Resort & Casino or Parador Nature Resort and Spa.
How far in advance should I book my Ballena vacation?
While not all air carriers release ticket prices early, customers are usually able to look up international airfares on Expedia up to a year in advance. This is the time when you can nab some incredible deals. If you’ve left things to the last minute, there’s a chance you could get lucky. Sometimes the lowest prices appear just weeks prior to departure.

Hotels, rental cars and flights, or any combination of them — it’s totally up to you. Whether you’re venturing to Ballena with the kids or adventuring solo, there’s a bundle to suit every style and budget. Once you’ve made your booking, why not add on a couple of activities?

Expedia has access to more than 550 partner airlines worldwide, so you certainly can. Simply pick your preferred air carrier and craft the perfect Ballena trip.

Your situation can change in the blink of an eye, so yes, you can. You may be able to cancel or amend your Ballena vacation package for free within 24 hours of booking.
