It was our absolute pleasure hosting Kim and his group at Casa Tranquilo. Very respectful people who looked after our rental as if it was there own home. We would welcome them back any time, and would recommend them highly to any other rental property owners, without question.

Buenos Dias Justin, We hope all is well with you and your family today. Thank you for your very kind words regarding your family's recent stay at Casa Tranquilo. While we do our absolute best to make every guest's stay perfecto, we can never plan for an air conditioner to suddenly become problematic. However, for us, we measure ourselves in how quickly we can correct the challenge. Your recognition of such, is a testament to our efforts. Thank you so much. We here at Casa Tranquilo have been fortunate and very blessed to have had "Best in Class" in guests rent our casa. Everyone before you, have treated our casa and property manager with the upmost care and respect. We cannot convey enough, how grateful we are. That said, in following up with Nacho, you and your family, in respect and appreciation for Nacho and his efforts, have elevated our lofty appreciation of our guests. Including Nacho on your fishing trip, is next level, and has not gone unnoticed. On behalf of the Casa Tranquilo Team, thank you so much for that! We understand that the fishing trip was incredibly successful. 3 Marlins? That's phenomenal day on the water. Justin, should you and/or your family plan a return visit to paradise, we sincerely hope you consider Casa Tranquilo as your home away from home. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back with open arms. Pura Vida Ralph casa tranquilo team

Buenos Noches Neil, Thank you so much for your very kind words, as it pertains to your recent stay at Casa Tranquilo. It has been our absolute pleasure hosting you and your family, as you celebrated your family reunion, Christmas and New Years. As your primary contact, the communication from your booking inquiry straight through to your departure was enjoyable and very respectful. Thank you so very much for that. I would like to add, our concierge Nacho, was incredibly grateful for the respect you and your family were in communicating with him. Can’t tell you how many times since your departure, he has mentioned how nice you and your family are. You mentioned in your review that you will be returning in the future. On behalf of the Casa Tranquilo Team, we would love to have you and your family return to Casa Tranquilo. Excited for the opportunity of hosting your family again! Until then, we wish you and your family; Health, Happiness, Hope & Success!!! Ralph casa tranquilo team

Thank you so very much for choosing Casa Tranquilo. We hope that someday, we will have the opportunity to host you again. Pura Vida Very Best Regards, Ralph casa tranquilo team

Deat Guest, We have taken a number of days considering our response to your review. Especially considering all the other reviews from previous guests who have stayed at Casa Tranquilo. When reviewing what past guests have rated and commented, it's like you stayed at a completely different place. Terror? It should be noted that no previous guest had any trouble locating the property. There are only 2 turns to be made, once on Ruta 27 in San Jose, all the way to Casa Tranquilo. Not sure how this was missed this time. And no other guests have had a hard time finding the meet up location with our property manager. As well, no previous guests have been unsuccessful in climbing the hill to get to Casa Tranquilo. It's clearly stated in the description that a 4x4 is required. The casa is in the rain forest. The Costa Rican government is all about protecting the natural environment that is host to sixty (60%) percent of the planet's wildlife. Once off the highway, nicely paved roads are not the recipe for wildlife habitats. And yes, gravel roads can be rugged at times. You drive under the canopy that is the reain forest to arrive at Casa Tranquilo. You're definitely not going to find nicely paved roads in the rain forest, nor shouold you. 15 minutes to the closest beach? When we calculate times, we do not calculate the various wait time that can occur at the single lane Coronado bridge. It takes 15-20 minutes to get to Uvita from Casa Tranquilo. Along the way to Uvita, there's Playa Tortuga, Playa Arco, Playa Ventanas and Playa Pinuelas. That's four beaches before getting to Uvita. To suggest the closet beach is 15 minutes from Casa Tranquilo is quite frankly, inaccurate. Yes, the roads to the beach, being gravel, can be rugged. Again, the reason why a 4x4 is a must in the southern zone. Treacherous? Come on! The golf course is 15 minutes away, zip line 20 minutes, pickleball 10. These are not monumental drives as you have eluded to. We're sure you make these drives or longer, in your everyday life. Casa Tranquilo is not an all inclusive. Never presented that way. It's a private destination with activities not that far away. Wildlife? There's more than enough wildlife in the rain forest that surrounds Casa Tranquilo. In fact, we work with and offer our properties to the local sanctuaries, for the reintroduction of injured wildlife that have been rehabilitated, back into their natural habitats. We don't incentivize wildlife to hang out on our properties, by inducing them with fruit and other foods. Doing so would create a false habitat, and one that would not be conducive and acceptable by the wildlife sanctuaries. We get squirrel monkeys through our rain forest 3-4 times a year. They are the smallest animal on the wildlife endangered species list in the southern zone of Costa Rica. However, they don't hang around, they are transient. They come and they go. Capuchins (white faced) monkeys can be seen only a short walk while hiking within the gated community. As far as birds are concerned, we have had bird watching guests stay at Casa Tranquilo for 2 weeks. Over that period, they identified seventy-five (75) different varieties of birds. Even that surprised us! You saw only a few. There's much, much more. Unfortunately, we do not control when wildlife, birds and butterflies are going to hang out on the property. It;s as natural an environment as you will find. You may not have seen them, but they;re definitely there. To suggest that you do not believe wildlife is actually on or around the property, and you have been somewhat misled, is incredibly unfortunate, Finally, we are very sorry to learn that your time at Casa Tranquilo didn't turn out as you had hoped and planned. That said, your dramatic disection of your experience, we feel, is unjust and quite frankly, unfortunate. We work very hard to ensure our guests have an amazing experience during their stay at Casa Tranquilo. In reviewing the other guests' ratings and comments, as mentioned above, it truly seems like you were at a completely different property. We Wish You a Happy Life

Hosting Gene and his family at Casa Tranquilo, was an absolute pleasure. The communication with Gene leading up to his family's arrival, including taking care of some pre-bookings of some of the more popular excursions was respectful and appreciated. Following up during their family's stay at Casa Tranquilo was fantastic. Gene and his family looked after Casa Tranquilo, as if it was their very own. Cannot say how much we appreciate that care. Our concierge/host, Nacho, had nothing but the highest regards and kindest words when dealing with Gene. If Gene and his family are looking to explore other parts of the world, and is interested in a rental with you, absolutely take advantage of the opportunity. Your rental will be in the very best of care. And, should Gene and his family ever consider returning to the paradise that is Costa Rica, we would welcome them with open arms.

Thank you so much, once again for choosing Casa Tranquilo, Sebastian, as your family's destination to escape to! We would absolutely love to have you visit us again, if and when you decide to visit Costa Rica, aka Paradise! Have a Fantastico Day!!! Ralph Casa Tranquilo Team
