The host and concierge were welcoming and provided information prior to the trip. The concierge also answered a few questions for me during the trip in a very responsive manner. The house provided a large space for 8 guests. Very pretty area. Loved the decks and pool. Enjoyed the monkeys and birds from the decks.

Casa Luz was beautiful and looked even better than the pictures. We had plenty of space for our group and the location was near where we wanted to be. Our concierge, Mefi, booked wonderful excursions for us and was super helpful along the way. We would absolutely stay at Casa Luz again in the future.

The BEST trip I have ever been on in my LIFE! The main reason? This house… Monkeys, Toucans, Macaws all right outside of the house. The Iguanas are super cool as well. Mefe was Amazing and planned all of our excursions. Restaurant El Cerdo Feliz and a small grocery store are 200 ft away! Fantastic! I can’t say enough good things about this beautiful home and the location. I really hope to return soon!

I can not say enough good things about our concierge, Mefi. Our entire experience was amazing in no small part due to Mefis amazing hospitality. Our home was well stocked and perfect for our multi generational family including 4 young children, Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa. He helped us with tours and transportation.When our ice maker didn't appear to be working, Mefi had a repair man in 15 minutes. Then they also brought us bags of ice. When we come back to Costa Rica, we will stay in a Mefi managed property. Oh and the house itself is also very fun. Great views. We all enjoyed when the monkeys came to visit. Everything was well maintained. Highly recommend this property for a fun vacation.

We had a really nice time in Manuel Antonio. Everything is in walking distance and transportation with the local bus is easy. River rafting with “ProRafting Costa Rica” was a great experience - totally recommendable! The correspondence with our concierge Mefi was easy and smooth and he even helped us with transport to Panama. Thanks!

Dear Lauren, Casa Luz is almost a wildlife sanctuary :) We are BEYOND happy to hear you enjoyed all the amazing wildlife around the house. Doors will always be open for you guys!! Thank you for staying with us.
We stayed a week at Casa Luz and enjoyed it to the fullest! The first morning we awoke to a troop of squirrel monkeys, some with babies, on the deck. Their antics were delightful even when one took a dip in the swimming pool. We enjoyed bird watching, seeing toucans, scarlet macaws and many other beautiful birds. The iguanas visited us daily and the butterflies we saw were exquisite. My entire family agreed this was the perfect choice to enjoy the beauty and wildlife that Costa Rica has to offer!!

Beautiful property! Daily visits from capuchin and squirrel monkey troops, birds, iguanas, agoutis, and even a kinkajou in a tree just off the patio during dinner one night! Kitchen was wonderful to cook in. Beds comfortable. Property secure. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a luxurious property on the edge of the rainforest!

Hi James, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the visits from the local wildlife—how special to see a kinkajou right from the patio! It’s great to know the kitchen, beds, and overall comfort met your expectations. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back anytime for another stay at the edge of the rainforest.
Warm regards,
The house and staff were great and the wildlife was abundant! It was perfect for our family and the house was large enough we didn’t even need all the beds.
