Steve’s Supermarket is adminístrated by the Costarrican family Acuña-Jiménez who came to Uvita eight years ago. It was a time when Costa Ballena was reopening for investment, and many new businesses popped up. The family constructed a building with its typical triangular shape, conveniently located on the way to the Marino Ballena National Park, close to Uvita center and only meters away from the Coastal Highway. Opening hours from 6 AM to 9 PM.
The Supermarket & Deli was baptized “Steve’s” in honor of the owners’ youngest sons, who will take over the establishment one day.
The Acuña-Jiménez family wishes you the best for a pleasant holiday with your family. Enjoy your stay in Costa Ballena, and come back soon!
