Our company took 22 managers to Costa Rica as an incentive trip. Casa Habibi was one of two houses that we rented as part of one all-inclusive package (that included two meals a day, snacks, and bartending service a few days that week). Casa Habibi sits up on a high, steep hill. This isn’t great for walking around, but it has a breathtaking view of the surrounding land and sea. The infinity pool makes this view even more amazing.

The men stayed in Casa Habibi while the women stayed in Casa Taj just a couple of miles away. While we had all of our dinners at Casa Taj, the men had breakfast and made themselves lunch at Casa Habibi. The owner of Casa Habibi, Wilford, served breakfast each morning with his wife, Evelyn.

The pool area is the highlight of this house. There’s a high-quality sound system with speakers on the exterior wall, and playing music can give this pool a fun party vibe. Plenty of lounge chairs around the pool and a nice wooden table next to the grill under a hut. Most of our time was spent outside enjoying the view, the pool, and good drinks!

The master bedroom has an amazing view, too, and a HUGE tub in the master bathroom next to a window so you can check out the view while you relax.

Note that this is a property with a house and two apartments, not just one house. The apartments provided enough space for us, but the apartments look a bit older and more worn than the house.

Access to this property from the airport doesn't take too long if you use the "shortcut" route that is a quite adventurous gravel road, and we had rental vans, so it was a crazy ride! Additionally, one of our rental vans wasn’t powerful enough to make it up the driveway at Casa Habibi with a full load of people. I recommend something more rugged than a rental van if you plan to stay here.

Definitely a great experience. If you’re trying to house a large number of people, this place is a nice option.
