Paradise lost
The location was fairly good. Containers were quite clean, had a small kitchen area and adjoining bathroom with gas hot water, however we did NOT ever enjoy a hot shower which was a bit disappointing.
The power was disconnected twice in our stay. First day, we thought it was just a normal power outage issue. Second day the power was out from 10am until the next day. We did not stay the extra night that we had booked.
They were kind enough to come around with candles and cold drinks after 9pm. Unable to keep the doors open because of mosquitoes so it was a fairly uncomfortable nights "sleep".
The complex as a whole is a run-down but if your a backpacker on a bit of a budget, it might not seem too bad for a stopover.
Side note: the whale watching was highly DISAPPOINTING and SAD TO WATCH! I've been fortunate to have been on a few Whale WATCHING (!) Tours before. It's so truly wonderful to experience seeing them play, jump and slap the water. This tour gave me the impression the whales were being hunted, not respectfully watched. 10+ boats would race towards the whale as it took breathes to dive back down, not wanting to be bothered again. Tour guides need to learn respectful distances and let the whales do their natural thing. The tour guide said multiple times that we can only stay in the area for short periods as the mother and calf get distressed. I understood clearly as they performed evasive manoeuvres to out run the other boats and get as close as they could. Mother and calf clearly in distress, we heard the guide repeat the same information.
By no means am I implying this is Emi's Shipping Container fault, however we did get the referral to the whale watching from them.

Emi's Place. The powerful, repurposed, smart, clean home away from home.
Emi's Place is my go to for the greatest value in lodging when I'm visiting Uvita. I've stayed at Emi's three times for a total of close to a month of evenings. The rooms are super clean, the kitchenette with a more than ample fridge, furnished just right to cook, relax and also take a plunge in the tropical oasis pool - are all simply exceptional. The bed is extremely comfortable for a restful night of sleep to recharge and take on the jungle to the playa the next morning. This is not a full service Marriott! This is Emi's Place. I love it there!
The entry gate is a bit difficult to open but I have arthritic hands and that is on my end. I'm getting older and there is not much I can do about that.

I always go back. Good value.
Good price, convenient and clean. Comfortable also, has a kitchen and a fridge.
The mirror is too high. I have to raise my chin to shave, and I'm 6'7". The blanket (not the sheets, though) had a little odor, needed washing.

I always go back.
I go there for work in the area, it's an excellent option for price(value ratio). Good shower, hot water, a kitchenette, a little tight, but it works just fine for one or two people.
It's a little tight, so where you put your things is key. But it's doable. The bathroom mirrors are to high. I consider myself medium height (5 feet 8") and I have to raise my chin to see it when I shave. Just so Gregory -the admin- knows! I've been in about 4 or 5 different rooms there during the years, and they're all the same height. They need to lower them at least 6-10". The taller guests will still be able to see themselves. BTW, the photo I posted is of a view nearby, not from the hotel itself. Just so you know!
Eine sehr einfache Unterkunft und gerade wenn man etwas günstiges sucht die beste Option die wir hier in der Gegend gefunden haben. Es gibt für diesen kleinen Preis alles was man benötigt. Die Betten sind sehr bequem, alles ist blitzblank sauber, die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet.
Die Klimaanlage ist auch ein toller Bonus.
Wir haben den Pool und die Dachterrasse sehr genossen und auch unsere Kinder haben sich sehr wohl gefühlt.
Die Möbel sind schon etwas abgenutzt, das sieht nicht so schön aus aber sie erfüllen noch ihren Zweck.
Im Poolbereich wäre mehr Schatten ein Traum und bessere Sitzgelegenheiten zum Frühstücken im Freien sowie Liegestühle um den Pool zu genießen.

Excelente ubicación, corta distancia de la entrada del parque marino ballena, el hospedaje es muy completo, tiene nevera, plantilla para cocinar microondas, Coffee Maker y si necesitas un pequeño comedor con sillas. La piscina es muy bonita para refrescarse en la noche al regresar del Tour. El servicio y la limpieza excelente. Pudimos dejar las maletas guardadas y regresar después del check Out a bañarnos y a cambiarnos, en la ducha de la piscina
Son muy amables y amables y Serv.

La piscina.
Camere troppo piccole, soprattutto la tripla col letto singolo sopra il matrimoniale. Ci sono sedie pieghevoli ed un tavolino a scomparsa inutilizzabili per mancanza di spazio, quasi non riuscivamo ad aprire le valigie.
