My family and I stayed here for a week over the Christmas holiday as a group of 10. The house is fabulous! Very roomy and spacious, but still a comfortable and warm feeling inside. It was extremely clean, manacured and cared for. The staff were all very friendly and anxious to help us with whatever we needed or desired. Elizabeth, the owner, is truly one of the nicest people I have ever come in contact with. She helped us arrange tours, meals with a chef, and transportation. She was quick to answer any question or concern we had. We feel the service and amenities here were superior to any 5 star hotel. I'd recommend for anyone to stay here. I would again with no questions asked.

We decided to come to Casa Primo and rent by the room since we all came separate but were going at the same seminar. Casa Primo is about 15 minutes walking distance to Ramada Herradura Convention Center. Casa Primo was a very clean and peaceful lodge for us. We felt at home and avoided the extra cost of the big hotels around the area. Elizabeth arranged for us to have breakfast every day. She also provided transportation to the Convention Center when we did not feel like walking. In general, it was an excellent place with comfortable rooms and very good service .

We stayed here for 4 nights in August and it was fabulous. The rooms are beautiful, much better than the pictures can show. The service was excellent. The owner made us feel very welcome and bent over backwards to accommodate us. I highly recommend this place.

The title says it all. From the time we were picked up and delivered to the Casa, until our reluctant departure, this was the perfect location for our group. The pictures are accurate and everything is more impressive in person. Daisy made sure the meals were excellent in presentation and taste. I told her we would return late one evening. She served a delicious diner when we returned. Elizabeth, the owner’s tour suggestions were on point. Elizabeth was available to answer questions. She’s an excellent hostess, resource and someone I’ll contact before my next visit. Pura Vida!

Owner response: It was a pleasure to have this group at the house. I enjoy helping with suggestions for their daily tours and making sure all went as planed. Walter is a sweet heart and all the members of his group were very nice also. Deissy and Ronald were happy to attend to them during this vacation. We are so happy to have provide the right atmosphere for these friends to re-unite and add one more good memory to their lives. Many Thanks, Elizabeth

A Fabulous Rental Property!

Our first family visit to Costa Rica and we will never forget our experience. The Villa was much more than what we expected. Very spacious and certainly what was needed for a family of eight who needed their individual privacy. Definitely worth every dollar we spent and more. Elizabeth (the property owner) was extremely helpful and kept in constant contact with us before we arrived and while we were there to ensure that our every need was met. As planned, we were promptly met at the airport by our driver who catered to us during our entire stay. The housekeepers delivered excellent customer service. The villa was kept extremely clean, waking up each morning to cooked breakfast served, returning to the villa to find the Jacuzzi heated for evening relaxation, or sitting in the garden having quiet time and enjoying the beauty – it all exceeded our expectations! We could not have asked for anything more. We highly recommend this rental and believe us you will not be disappointed at all.

I have taken many trips to Costa Rica and I must say this house and service tops it all. I want to say thank you to Elizabeth for doing a wonderful job on this property as well as the professional courtesy from her and her staff. Thank you Fatima and your peer for making us feel like Kings. These wonderful ladies ladies know how to throw down in the kitchen. I am talking restaurant style cooking, 3 course meal and all. They were so great we had to give them gratuity that made them feel like it was Christmas. The service was top notch A++++ all the way. I recommend this place to guys that want to get away and live it up to a Romantic get away or just a family getaway. Each room is setup as if you are in a 5star hotel. A fridge in your room with a mini bar, to your private bathroom, TV etc. The pool and Jacuzzi was the bomb. I took the honor of taking some more detailed pictures of the house cause it was that great so enjoy and don't hesitate to book this house, money well spent, especially going in a group and splitting it down the middle.

I must say my stay at this villa was fantastic. This is one of the best vacations I have yet to expereince and I have been on plenty. I didnt want to leave! First I would like to start off with the home itself. It is exactly like the pictures. The villa is very spacious and was more than enough room for the 6 of us that traveled stayed their. The place is clean and make you feel like you are at home. The staff is wonderfull and very generous. Breakfast was cooked for our group each morning by the time we awakend and dinner was served as soon as we returned to the ViIlla from our long fulfilled days, the staff even packed lunches for us so we wouldnt have to spend money on food while out touring Costa Rica. Elizabeth set us up with a driver that was wonderful and stayed with us the whole time we were out and about traveling from city to city. He picked each party up from airport at check in and made sure we made it to the airport in a timely manner to depart. Elizabeth checked in with us from time to time to make sure our stay was everything a person can ask for. I would highly reccomend this spot to stay at while vacationing in Costa Rica!!!!!!!!!!!!

Owner response: Thank You Cassie, for us it is a pleasure to serve and to help our Guests see the best that Costa Rica has to offer. I enjoyed organizing the trips for your group. Your are a great group of friends. I hope you have good pictures of the comparsa "Samba" dancers that came to the house in celebration of your stay in Costa Rica. Thank you so much for staying at the house and for visiting Costa Rica. Warm Regards, Elizabeth

well, its hard to start this review because everything was picture perfect.the owner made sure our entire party was OK. (thank you so much elizabeth, i had so much fun). the staff was absolutely the sweetest, very humble and honest. they cooked everyday and that also was very good. if you love good customer service and excellent hospitality don't think twice. this villa is definitely the place to stay. i felt like i was home, i loved it. we also had a driver for all of our events, elizebeth referred him. he also was on time everyday, he stayed with us and made sure we were safe. none of us speak Spanish so he was a good translator. i/we would stay back there at the drop of a dime. actually we are thinking about coming back next year with the kids this time. truly as im writing this i cannot think of enough words to express the beauty of this villa. just do it....

I highly recommend this property for anyone planning a trip to the San Jose area, especially for large groups. The owner was very resourceful both prior to, and during our stay, and the property staff was very helpful as well. The property was exactly as described which was a huge relief. We had a group of 6, so everyone had their own room and their own bathroom, allowing everyone to have a lot of privacy. The accommodations were great, and the property is close to the airport, stores, and restaurants. It was a great experience overall, and I would definitely recommend. Book with confidence.

My friends and I recently enjoyed a great vacation @ this very nice property in Cariari. I think there's always a little skepticism for anyone traveling abroad, but let me assure you if you decide to stay at this property you will be VERY satisfied when you arrive. The staff was great. The proprietor was very kind and extremely resourceful for our vacation in Costa Rica. If you are traveling with a group, I highly recommend this property.
