We enjoyed this property sooooo much!! Location is fantastic, views from every room to die for.... Monkeys arrived when we wanted them, and came more than close enough for us to take great pictures. They didn't hang around though, so they were no bother whatsoever. Family members from age 2 to 72 were happy living together. Clean, well maintained property. Fabulous activities arranged for us with zero hassle at all. highly recommend this house!

Owner response:We are happy to hear that you had a great time at Casa Pacifico and hope that you have a chance to visit us again.

What a great two weeks at Casa Pacifico! The home is so beautiful and accommodated our group of ten very comfortably. The area is gorgeous and there is so much to do close by. We did the ziplining, ATV, surfing, hiking and fishing tours….all so much fun! The beach was like our own private paradise and we loved relaxing by the pool too. The staff completely spoiled us! The house manager, Frankie, planned all of our excursions and cooked incredible meals every day. The home was spotless and our laundry was done daily, which was also very nice. The kids loved watching the monkeys. We had such a great time and look forward to a return trip. Thanks for your hospitality!

Best Vacation Rental I Have EVER Experienced!

Casa Pacifica was an experience of a lifetime and I could not recommend it more highly! My bridal party and I stayed at the home for one week before my wedding at the nearby resort, Tango Mar. We were blown away by the beautiful home itself and how immaculate and pristine everything was. Its location is ideal right on the end of a gorgeous strip of beach. My surfing friends were elated when they discovered there was a surfable wave right in front of the house! The main host, Frankie, was out of this world accommodating and made sure that our every wish was attended to (and it didn't hurt that he was an excellent chef and knew the whole area like the back of his hand). You don't have to walk far on the beach to see some waterfalls, shell littered beaches, and a famous tree captured in National Geographic. We were treated like royalty and were so impressed with the staff's friendly demeanor and hard work making sure everything was nice for us at all times. The location was a perfect balance as you had plenty of privacy but weren't far from more "happening" towns like Montezuma. I honestly have no complaints only praises for my experience Casa Pacifica and I wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else on my next trip to Costa Rica! It was a dream come true wedding and vacation all in one!

Owner response:It sounds like your destination wedding was perfect! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us and hope you have the opportunity to visit again!

Me and my family had a great time. Casa Pacifico was so pretty and it had the best view of the ocean and beach. Frankie, the chef, cooked us Costa Rican food and it was very good. There were lots of tours available - it was nice to have the driver available to show us around. I would definitely go back!

Owner response:We are glad you had a great time. Please pass the word around to your family, friends and co-workers. We hope you have to chance to visit again.

Best Vacation Ever!

I have traveled all over the world and this is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. The home offers the best oceanfront views you can imagine. Looking north you can see the waves crashing on the rocks, a view of the south offers a beautiful beach and gentle surf setting. The home offers everything you can imagine... beautiful interior decor and oversize bedrooms with king beds and large bathrooms was even more than we expected. A full time staff took care of all of our houskepping and laundry needs. We spent most of our time by the pool lounging in the comfortable chairs and taking in the sun and sounds of monkeys and tropical birds. November was suppose to be the kind of rainy but we had very nice weather. I highly recommed the meal plan and transportation services offered with the house. The chef is incredible and the food quality is better than a five star restaurant. The home is everything I expected and even more. I just wish more of my friends and been able to come and enjoy the experience with me. I am already planning next years vacation.

Owner response:It sound like you had a wonderful time at Casa Pacifico. We hope you have the opportunity to visit us again.

Casa Pacifico is a True Gem!

Guest: Bruce (Old Orchard Beach, Maine)

Our group agreed this was the most spectacular villa we had ever seen and was truly the trip of a lifetime! On arrival the staff greeted us with a champagne toast and our favorite classic rock music, so we knew we had found something special in Casa Pacifico. The staff was enormously helpful; arranging our excursions; filling our orders for beverages; driving us to local villages and evening hot spots and taking us for walks to the waterfalls near-bye. We were absolutely treated like Royalty! The meals were fantastic, incredibly diverse and world-class. The villa sets at the end of a quiet drive, with the beautiful white sand beach a few steps down from the gorgeous pool. This was our first stay at Casa Pacifico, but it won’t be our last. We found Robert the villa owner and his staff like a breath of fresh air. This is a true gem and is highly recommended!

40th birthday celebration

Guest: The librarians (Portland, OR)

This trip was for my wife's 40th birthday and I couldn't have planned a better celebration. The pictures of the home and surrounding area don't do justice to the beauty of the residence and Costa Rica. Frankie and the rest of the Casa Pacifico staff took the experience to an even higher level. The service was impeccable, the food wonderful and Frankie was especially helpful as we had some travel hiccups on the last day. I can't recommend this property enough. Pura Vida!

Casa Pacifico was Outstanding

We had group of 10 last week at Casa Pacifico. All were in agreement - it was the best vacation any had ever taken! The house and amenities are huge and outstanding, the views are incredible, and we had complete privacy on our own stretch of beach. Frankie and the staff made the trip!! Frankie's meals were incredible (even by Charleston restaurant standards). He took care of EVERY detail from our transportation and tours to our food and drink requests. He even put together a casino theme and lobster tail dinner for a birthday night. The women in our group had private massages at the house while the guys were catching sailfish on a 42' Sportfisher. Monkeys in the trees, the local macaw (Fran), and the luch landscaping just added to the wonder. I can't recommend Frankie and Casa Pacifico strongly enough! If you want more pictures and info - check out their Facebook page (we missed it until the week before the trip, but it's great with lots of pictures) Fantastic spot for a wonderful vacation!

Owner response:We are glad that your vacation was so wonderful. If you have the chance to visit us again at Casa Pacifico, please let us know.

We had a family reunion here for my father's 70th birthday. The house was perfect for our group of 15. We got the meal plan and the food was great. Our cooks, Frankie and Flory, took great care of us and the children loved them. The maid service was spectacular. The laundry was cleaned and on our beds everyday by noon. We also had fresh towels by the pool every morning. We were pampered in every way. This was a wonderful vacation and we would definitely go back.

We stayed in Casa Pacifico recently and had a great time. We flew into San Jose, took a commuter flight to an airport close to the house and the driver was waiting for us. The house is beautiful and the staff was wonderful. We used the cook and meal plans for the week and the food was amazing - a lot of local dishes were prepared. The manager of the house was extremely helpful in suggesting activities to do and drove us to all of them. We did the zip line tour, the ATV tour, a boat ride with snorkeling to a private island that served us a Costa Rican lunch, and spent a couple of days being lazy around the pool. A couple of the guys went fishing and caught a lot of fish. It was such a great vacation. Costa Rica and Casa Pacifico are beautiful. The people are very friendly. We had a wonderful trip. We recommend it and would definitely go back in the future.
