We stayed 1 night in this hotel not far from Uvita. Staff is friendly but stay is quite expensive for the value. Room size is ok and clean but walls are really thin and you hear everything from the other rooms. Windows are not closing properly and you have to use extensively the A/C to cool the room down.

Although there is no AC in the standard rooms the ceilimg fan and venitian windows kept the room cool enough for sleeping. Towels are thick and were changed after two days. The pool is large but not deep, Towels are provide... More

Lookout is a nice hotel with really friendly staff. They have nice and clean rooms. The hotel looks out on the beach, but is not on the beach (10 minutes walk). The food in the restaurant is really good.

I travel a great deal, relying heavily on a composite of evaluations and rating *****’s of hotel guests. People, people, people…a “looking at the world from the eye of God” view does not make a one star hotel into a 4.5 star hotel!!! We had chosen Hotel Lookout de Tortuga based on a number of factors, most prominently that it... More

The Lookout is in a beautiful spot with a high, wide view of the ocean and surrounded by forest. It feels very quiet, peaceful, and comforting. Our little cabin was simple, airy, and very clean, with a sweet little outdoor space. The restaurant, pool, and lookout tower were great places to relax, as well -- all well kept and comfortable....
