    Pretty and quiet

    Uroa Bay is a lot quieter than the Northern beaches and perfect for unwinding and watching the locals pass by. The tides are dramatic here but not so bad that one can't swim at least a few daylight hours every day. The sunrise on this...More

    Decent place with some odd rules and inconveniences

    Overall, this resort is fine. The swimming pools are clean and warm; the rooms are clean and well air-conditioned; and the ocean water is spectacularly warm. The buffet food was plentiful but the quality was just OK - it filled us but there wasn't a...More

    Sad to se that people who live around the beach don't seem to understand that the cleanliness of the beach is necessary for the whole community. There are broken glass, broken plates, old clothes and so on. The hotel owners around Uroa should go together...More

    Resorts area

    Outside the hotel it's nothing to see (some local shops) but it's very quiet area for chillout with nice beach.
