" My two grandchildren (ages 11 and 23) and I had an adventure of a lifetime. We felt we were experiencing the real Costa Rica with the horseback ride into the hills, snorkeling off Cano Island with the turtles, viewing humpback whales, picking up sand dollars off the nearby beach, quietly exploring the maze of mangrove swamps, and drinking from a freshly-cut coconut on Jose’s fruit farm. We were able to get by with our very minimal Spanish. After our excursions, it was a delight to return to the house and “chill” while Dolly cooked our exquisite dinners. Everything was fresh and we usually had leftovers for the next day. My area was the upstairs and the kids had the downstairs. Ruben and his wife helped with getting us to places, cleaning, and laundry. Everybody associated with this villa was very kind and you had no worries. My grandchildren still talk about the trip. This region is so lush with flora and fauna. Yes, we saw monkeys and sloths in the nearby area. We highly recommend the Casa Rio Sierpe! It’s more than lodging; it’s an immersive cultural experience.

"Close to restaurants and has a good pool area. The wildlife just outside the window in the morning made this a memorable stay for sure! "

"No words can describe the beauty and peacefulness of this property. The grounds are spectacular and our room was gorgeous overlooking the ocean and sunsets. Upon our arrival we were greeted with refreshing beverages and brought to our room where we saw Toucans and Parrots . In our two day visit we saw monkeys and frogs and lots of butterflies! It was so hard to leave. The entire staff was so kind and friendly and helpful. It was the highlight of our 10day Costa Rican vacation. We will definitely return again. . "

"We loved, loved, loved this place. The room was fantastic and having an open air bathroom was such an unusual treat. We got to see monkeys from our porch as well as many other creatures on the night tour. The food was also fantastic. If we lived closer we would certainly visit again. "

"This is definitely a 4 star not a 3 star hotel. Pool is really big and great lounging areas and garden around. Toucans are plenty here and easy to spot. Feels like a hidden gem and a truly special place. It is expensive though… particularly drinks and food is definitely a lot higher than in other places. You get what you pay for though and the quality is good. Highly recommend the family suite "

"What a great house! The view is phenomenal, and you can't beat the privacy. The wildlife is wonderful, the water is HOT, and the AC is cold. We were a little bummed to realize the jacuzzi isn't heated, but there's a giant bathtub in the master bathroom right by a window that was just as enjoyable, so no worries! The kitchen is large and usable, and the grill was a nice touch. We had a wonderful stay, and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a good time in Costa Rica."

"El Castillo is one of my most favorite places to stay- the views, the staff and the food are all incredible. Highly recommend. "

"First off, the staff at this quaint lodge were hands down amazing. Enrique and Christina took care of all our food and beverage needs and then some! Silvia, the manager, handled all our other needs quickly and made us feel special! The cleaning crew made sure our room was like new every day! Christophe and Sebastian checked in with us daily to make sure everything was going smoothly for us. Christophe even hooked us up with the airport pickup upon our departure and overnight stay in San Jose before leaving Costa Rica. The food stole the show at this location! Unique dishes were presented at each lunch and dinner that combined locally grown foods with a healthy I’d say European flair! Outstanding ~ well done chefs! Even the desserts were a surprise! If I could change anything about the stay it would have been the pillows and having a regular coffee maker in the room! I’m super picky about my pillow tho!!! And the European espresso machines are just not my thing! So really these are minor complaints and a matter of one’s personal taste! Lastly, the property itself is set up high to afford an amazing view of the ocean. Birds are a plenty with Toucans landing on the trees above the pool area. We also got to see the humpback whales on our snorkel tour. If you are looking for a unique, personal experience in a lush location with an ocean view, this is your spot!"

"It was a nice place, I wish it was just a little cleaner but over all for Costa Rica it was nice. The staff are very helpful and accommodating. "
