Casa Flores is a great getaway for a large family or for a group of adults who want to get away from the louder, touristy hotels in Guancasta but still stay in luxury with a lot of privacy and quiet.

The exotic looking photos of the website are realized in the very natural setting where nearly every room has a view of the great natural surroundings. There are many exotic birds and iguanas just outside and the flowering trees and bushes really make you feel like you are in your own private jungle hideaway. The views are great all day long but the morning sunrise is spectacular.

The pool circulates the water all day which keeps it unusually cool and clean and is a nice refresher after the warmer water of the bay. The beach has only a few other people from the surrounding luxury properties and we felt we could leave our beach chairs and other things there all day without worry.

The kitchen is a good size but some of the food prep tools and pots/pans could use upgrading/updating. They could use a larger grill for a larger meal if the house is full.

The WIFI worked very well and could even be accessed outdoors.

The beach items and toys/sports equipment were good. There is pretty good snorkeling at both ends of the short, maybe 400 meter beach.

It is a short but strenuous walk to several fine restaurants and bars down the hill. The other houses in the neighborhood look extraordinary and give the whole area a luxurious and private feel.

All the beds were fine to sleep in and the air conditioning was up to standards of the states.

The team of Renee and Marcos were professional and responsive and made the check in/out process very smooth.
