Kyle was the most hospitable person I’ve ever met… from taking us on hikes to secret waterfalls with a home-cooked river-side meal…. To A+ adventure recommendations and full private dinners organized by their chef Lula. They go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. You won’t be disappointed! HIGHLY recommend. alexis martin2025-04-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot express enough how amazing our trip was due to the great group at Costa Casuals! Nick and Kyle made it a point to ensure we were able to see and do everything on our list! They drove us around, anywhere we wanted and gave us all insight on all of the must see places. I would not have been able to navigate through Costa Rica without them, and their expertise. Also not to mention… LULA! Lula was our amazing chef for the week, and her meals made us feel like we were apart of the family. Her attention to detail, and amazing authentic cooking was the cherry on top for this trip. 5/5 starts doesn’t say enough about my experience. Save yourself the time of reading anymore reviews, and book the trip!!! Isaiah Keaton2025-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was the best trip that I've ever had! Nick and Kyle were so well versed in a bunch of different activities for us to do depending on how we were feeling so the level of enjoyment never dipped at all. I truly feel like I experienced all of the best and most authentic parts of Costa Rica with them and I could not be more grateful for the experience they gave me!

Escaping the chaos of life to reconnect with your soul and nature in its most pure form. Costa Casual brought an experience above an beyond anything I could have ever imagined. From surf lessons to hiking in the jungle to picture perfect views -- this trip was food for the soul that leaves you hungry for more! No pun intended because the food was unlike anything ive ever tasted. 10/10 trip, this is your sign to book the trip even if youre going solo! <3 Joe Ugorowski2024-11-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family stayed at the property during Christmas 2016… Casa Del Pacifico is a beautifully designed house, with an adjoining shaded patio overlooking a serene infinity pool, a beautiful hillside, and finally the Pacific ocean to complete the feast for the eyes and soul. It provided the setting for a once in a lifetime experience for myself and family and friends. I will always cherish waking up to stunning ocean views from the bed through the floor to ceiling windows. This beautiful experience came with some challenges given my needs – I require a scooter to get around – but the very friendly caretaker, Stephen, built a ramp for me to get in/out of the casa, which was so helpful, allowing me to zip around the property. An additional significant bonus is the raised platform (~5 inches below water surface and ~7 foot diameter) in the pool, which allowed me to access the pool with assistance. I spent seemingly endless, beautiful days floating in the infinity pool, while viewing the ocean or monkeys climbing in the trees along the patio. Also, it was super fun and very functional to experience an outdoor shower and restroom! It is a secluded paradise, with ocean breezes through the shaded palm and fruit tree groves. It is a wonderful, magical place to experience wildlife and stunning scenery during the day and dark star-filled nights. While the trip would have been perfect without leaving the property, we were also able to enjoy many wonderful outdoor activities such as the nature preserve, zip lining through the jungle canopy, wonderful beaches, and wonderful restaurants and people throughout the area. Truly, be ready for “the trip of a lifetime,” as my friend said it would be! Monica McKivens2024-10-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an incredible time at Casa Del Pacifico and Casa Del Gulfo. The location was perfect, and the house itself was even better than the pictures! It was clean, cozy, spacious, and modern, and had all the amenities I needed, like WiFi and kitchen supplies. The host made this stay extra special. They went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable, recommended some great local spots, and arranged transportation. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Costa Rica. I can't wait to come back! Amanda Bell2024-10-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I stayed at the Casual Costa retreat over New Years last year & it was pure magic!! The view was like nothing I've ever seen before! Absolutely stunning! I'm convinced it's the best one in Santa Theresa. The pool was a dream to swim in as the sun set, and the kitchen had all the amenities one would need to cook a good meal. I loved that fact that it's tucked away, but you can still get to everything in the town quite easily. I can't wait to take another trip down there bc I literally dream about this house on the regular.

Going back as soon as possible! Tawnie Walker2024-09-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
