This was our 1st time in Costa Rica, and we were all blown away with Casa Capuchin. Our family trip of 4 somehow became a blended trip of two families (12 of us total). And not all 12 of us stayed in the house but we were fortunate to rent another home within 3 mins walking distance. Casa Capuchin is amazing!!! The views of the ocean & rainforest in every room of the house with windows from floor to ceiling, the open space (you have the outdoors and indoor blended into one), and the view of the ocean, along with the daily visit of the capuchin monkeys and tropical birds was astonishing. Yessinia, the housekeeper, was truly a gem. She maintained the house amazingly and did our laundry every day. She is a wonderful individual. I speak Spanish so I was able to communicate with her and enjoyed having her around. I would look for her every morning while I would drink my coffee and just enjoyed our morning chat. The host, Alex, welcomed us when we first arrived. He arranged transportation from San Jose Airport to Casa Capuchin, and the transportation company waited for us while customs took over 1 hour after we landed. Alex is a very personable host and helpful in setting up tours, transportation, activities, and any help you need to make your trip enjoyable. He offered his services and is available 24/7. My adult kids enjoyed the audio sound system and it gave an upbeat vibe and with an amazing view!! We have visited so many other places, and we were always homesick by the end of our vacation. With this vacation, we didn't want to come back home. We will definitely be back and hopefully for a much longer stay!
