Spectacular property, location and service


We were impressed by the property. It is a lot bigger than what we expected. It is hard to be aware of the limits of the property. Rooms were large and comfortable. It has three “ranchos” where the adults, the teens and the children could gather. The pool is gorgeous and clean and the service included with the property was very helping and polite. We hired them to arrange dinners and save us the hustle of having to go downtown on busy dates. The beaches near the property are great and the nearby Puerto Viejo is lots of fun.

It really is like your own private resort


The photographs on the website do not do justice to Las Casas. It is huge and drop-dead beautiful. The architecture and layout of the gardens is wonderful. We visited over Christmas and my 80th Birthday with our family group ranging in ages from 23 to 80 yrs. Though Las Casas would not accommodate anyone in a wheelchair or walker, it was fine for us senior citizens who are ambulatory. There are lots of different activity areas for different folks with birds and wildlife to watch as well. We enjoy cooking and so fixed most of our own meals. The two kitchens (main house and by the pool) are extremely well equipped and the grill is perfect for a large group. The local stores carry everything you need. We also enjoyed two dinners prepared by the staff that were excellent, in case you are not into cooking. Speaking of staff: All the staff at Las Casas are wonderful, very friendly and helpful -- you couldn’t ask for better. And the buildings and grounds are kept in pristine condition. December is a rainy month but there were several hours of sunshine every day – plenty of time to enjoy the pool or the beach, mosquitoes weren’t bad either. December is not the time for snorkeling – the water is too cloudy - but body surfing is good and lots of other places to go and see. The one issue is the logistics for getting here. We recommend hiring the shuttle and renting a car in Puerto Viejo once you arrive. (Or fly a private plane to Limon if you have access to such.) Regardless, it is well worth the effort. We had a fabulous time enjoyed by everyone of all ages!

Perfect!!


We are a group of 4 and we stayed at Las Casas the first week of January 2018. The previous reviews were spot on with many of the opinions and details - so there is no need to add too much. Just a perfect trip!! A few items - 1) I also am very glad we had a driver from San Jose for the 5 hour drive (and rented a car in Puerto Viejo) 2) the grounds were incredible 3) one night we had 11 Howler monkeys sleep in the tree above our sleeping area! 4) the staff was excellent and we were very safe. Thank you for a super stay and we will be back!

This property wildly exceeded, all 11 of us, our expectations.


We had the best Christmas ever. Thanks to Asenath and the entire staff. We are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you!!!

Gorgeous grounds, peaceful setting, loved the cook


We so enjoyed our week at Las Casas. The staff was phenomenal, especially Asenath the cook. She not only made us great food, but was great to talk with. She was so patient with us in helping us learn Spanish, while we helped her a bit also with her English. The grounds were incredibly beautiful and spacious. The accommodations were very good. We enjoyed the pool every day. We walked into town one day and could have used the beach there but chose not to at the time. Most of the time we just stayed at the house and relaxed. The TV was large and the TV area was comfortable for watching the football playoffs. Unfortunately the next door neighbor burned brush and trash and sometimes the smoke blew over our property. The Las Casas staff were very attentive and quick to do what they could to help. The fire was put out, but then he started up again the next day.
