Casa Carolina lived up to, & exceeded, our every expectation!! We could not have asked for a better vacation for our first trip to Costa Rica and we will be back!

Jamie Walker, the owner of the Casa Carolina, spent about 30 minutes on the phone prior to our visit to walk us through what we could expect for the week. It was so nice of him to spend that time with us-we felt very prepared for the trip.

We then communicated with Willy Jimenez, who oversees the property in Quepos. One of the very best parts of the trip was Willy & his staff. They took care of every last detail of our trip with ease & kindness. We looked forward to seeing them everyday! Willy arranged things like transportation to & from the airport, our fishing trip on the Frenzy, vanilla farm tours, etc. He was outstanding! We also can't say enough about Lisabeth & Saul, who worked at the house everyday. They are two of the kindest people you will ever meet. Lisabeth washed our clothes each day, made beds, laid out fresh towels & kept the house spotless. Saul took care of us from sun up to sun down with grocery shopping, arranging our driver needs, setting up reservations....whatever we needed, he made it happen. Both Lisabeth & Saul cooked breakfast and dinner for us several times throughout the week. The rice and beans & veggies are to die for-we will miss that dish! We also loved our driver, Misael, who took us wherever we wanted to go & whenever we wanted to go. He was awesome. We also loved our airport transfer driver, William. We just can't say enough about the staff of Casa Carolina. Everyone of them was so kind, funny & easy to work with-we definitely made new friends!

Casa Carolina itself is incredible. It sits up high with a view of the Pacific that is just gorgeous. There is also a terrific view of the Pacific from the shower in the Chickee apartment...what a way to shower with the window open and that view! Swimming in the infinity pool also provided beautiful views of the Pacific We spent a lot of time in the pool, adults & kids-terrific! The monkeys arrive everyday & the wildlife watching is amazing!

The house is very well appointed, w/ comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen, great dining & living area. One of the best parts of the house is the outdoor kitchen/dining area.

Bottom line, Casa Carolina is amazing-the house, the staff, the country, the views. We feel so lucky to have stayed there and experienced Pura Vida from Casa Carolina! Great location!
