Hotel Uka Mana

Friendly, helpful, excellent breakfast

Tranquil motel, close to everything This is a simple but comfortable hotel, with a good breakfast and very good customer service. We rented bicycles one day and scooters another day, and were able to see the whole island

This charming boutique hotel is located on a quiet property not far from the airport. The staff members are very kind and helpful. The breakfast and coffee are very good. It is over a mile to downtown area and the beach. We were able to walk there without any problems. There are some restaurants and markets on the way to downtown. The staff can also get taxi for the guests. There is a pretty steep wooden staircase to go upstairs at the hotel. If one has any issue with that, you may want to request a room on the first floor. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you!

Property is slightly away from downtown - renting a car is recommended if you wish to be able to move around the city and the island at your leisure. Property is very cozy, super clean, quiet and met all of our expectations !

I'm so glad I went to the island and this hotel was a good choice. All the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. There was plenty of hot water for showering. The wifi at the hotel was actually reasonable - I believe they have Starlink connected. I was able to have video calls with only slight interruptions during a heavy downpour. A cold breakfast was included with different breads, juices, and cold cuts. The hotel is a 20-45 minute walk to most of the stores/museums in town. On the days I had scheduled tours, tour guides picked me up and dropped me off. On the other days, I walked into town and was prepared for intermittent rain showers. I would guess that most people would want to rent a car if traveling often between this hotel and the city proper. I saw a couple of local (not international) car rental places in the middle of the city. The traffic is moderate and subdued, so I wouldn't hesitate to rent a car if I were to visit again. There are dogs and roosters that make noise regularly, presumably all over the island. You can shut the windows and filter some of the noise out. There are steep stairs inside with irregular depths and heights you'll want be careful on. There's a nice loft area upstairs with couches and a TV.

The property was recently renovated but the dining space for breakfast would be inadequate if the hotel was more than one third full. This hotel should be advertised as a Bread and Breakfast and not a Boutique Hotel. The breakfast service was inconsistent from morning to morning. The hotel advertises dinner service cooked on site but the portions are very tiny, the menu selection is sparse, the food quality could not compare with downtown restaurants and the price is totally over the top. Most of the time that I was there, I was the guest and was able to leave the room door open for ventilation with the evening winds blowing through the room. If there were other guests at the hotel, cooling the room would be done by a floor standing fan which was very loud.
