Absolutely loved our stay at Casa Lamia! We stayed in the tent with the jacuzzi and it was such a unique and dreamy experience. The service was incredible, super warm and thoughtful. The manager personally brought us cocktails to our room, such a sweet touch! We ended up sipping our drinks and having some delicious bites while soaking in the jacuzzi. Honestly, everything from the food to the vibe to the little details made it unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back!

We loved our stay at Casa Lamia, It was our favorite hotel in Costa Rica, we traveled from south to North. We booked the family room, which was a large room overlooking the gardens. It's very tastefully decorated. The breakfast was delicious, our favorites were the shakshouka and passion fruit French toast. They were both delicious! Sindy the manager was a gem, she helped us book all of our activities, we did the catamaran which is a must. Great stay and great service. I highlyrecommend.

The location of the property is excellent, the view is beautiful and it's close to many restaurants and the national park. However the room itself is very sparely furnished. There's no toilet paper holder, no dresser or anywhere to hang our wet bathing suite or clothes, no handles on any doors, which made the stay slightly unpleasant. We also did not have water on our last night of stay for quite a few hours, which made things difficult. I think it is good for a short 1-2 night stay, but not ideal for longer stay. We stayed for 4 nights which we found to be quite inconvenient.

A Trip I’ll Never Forget - Casa Lamia is 10/10

My stay was unreal. The service was so friendly, warm and accommodating. The room was spacious and stunning. We were a quick walk from the beach and Casa Lamia’s restaurant was fabulous - the dishes and drinks were amazing! breakfast was always new each day and so delicious. Can’t wait for an excuse to go back! The stay was amazing from start to finish.

Paid 233$ for a room. Front door has a 1/4 crack between the door and the door jam that faces the community pathway to all the rooms and the other side is faceing the bed. Its a tent roof so you hear everything around you and they can hear you. No water pressure. Breakfast is a bowl of fruit and 1 egg with some toppings. The main reason I got this room was for the hottub. It was not hot when i got there. Takes around 10 hours to heat up to lukewarm water. I got cold being in the hottub. Good for the day but not for the night. Staff was nice and trying to make stuff work. This is the 1st time i have ever reviewed a hotel but i wish i had left as soon as i got there.

Owner was friendly through text , workers were great !!! Until my little one broke a drinking vase & the lady tried to get over on my husband & charge him $80 for it. Meanwhile the cook in Spanish was laughing & saying it’s no more then $20 10,000 colonies! That rubbed us the wrong way , we tipped every worker the whole stay! The room was great , they should kill some of the animals nest around the property & also huge iguanas we heard all day/night on top of the ceiling! There needs to be some maintainace done for sure! But otherwise very nice unique stay!

We stayed at this hotel for 1 week in the lower priced room. The breakfast was included and was delicious every day. The few other times we ate there were not very good and very much overpriced so we ended up eating in other restaurants for dinner and lunch. The view is probably one of the best for sun sets and bird watch (parrots, toucans, etc.) Location is between Manuel Antonio and Quepos but on top of a high hill so I would recommend to get either a car or scooter to avoid walking up and down in the burning sun (physically hard) and/or paying for a taxi every time. Also not walking distance from anything, you need to take the bus, taxi or your vehicle if you have. Not much entertainment there, rarely any music or people so not a party place at all. Our room was nice and clean, but located right beside the dining area of the restaurant which is unusual (the 2 lower costing rooms are there, otherwise the huts are further away

We, like many other reviewers, fell for the great marketing tactics of Casa Lamia - the promise of a vibey, beautifully maintained hotel, in a picturesque setting. But, what we got was a hotel that felt more like a roadside motel, with stained linens, water stained walls, low functioning air conditioning units, dated decor and an overwhelming sense of disappointment. We booked a room for 2 nights and when we checked into our first room, we noticed it shared a wall with the kitchen/dining room. The space was noisy and really not to our satisfaction, so we requested to move to a different room; staff accommodated this request. Our new room was much quieter however, upon settling in, we discovered there was no water pressure in the shower, the shower pan would not drain, the hot water was hit or miss, and the toilet would barely flush. After spending one night at Casa Lamia, we decided to leave the next day and move to a much nicer, better priced hotel. We did not request a refund, just decided to cut our losses. And while we shared information about the dysfunctional systems with management, you could tell they were used to hearing these complaints, as the manager simply thanked us for sharing our concerns. We definitely do not recommend booking this hotel; there are better options in the area, with accommodations that far exceed those of Casa Lamia.

I debating writing this review for a while as I discussed the issues with the owners and she assured things will change but reading through the rest of the reviews it seems to not have changed. I think anyone booking this spot needs to be aware. The place is beautiful and the views are stunning. IF there isn’t an event happening at the restaurant this is a quiet and beautiful spot to stay but weddings and dinners do seem to happen often here and the hotel guests are not informed. We were kept up until midnight with bass rattling our room and drunk people trying to enter it. The wifi isn’t locked so anyone can access it making it unusable for the people staying there. The check in was not smooth we ended up sitting at another restaurant for half an hour before we got a reply on how to check in which was just meeting someone at the bar of the restaurant, this wasn’t a smooth process and there was a wedding happening so we didn’t know if we were even able to enter into the restaurant upon arrival. There’s no where to park, street parking only. When we arrived our garbage for the bathroom had been used a few times already and there were makeup stains on the towels, there were some dead bugs on the bed and on the floor. The breakfast was child portions it was one egg on stale Tostito chips and a few pieces of fruit and you didn’t get a choice of what to eat everyone got served the same thing. The manager sindy is unapproachable, she will sink this business if she stays in charge.

From the moment I arrived at Casa Lamia, I knew this place was something special. The service was beyond exceptional—I felt more like a welcomed friend than a guest. Sindy and Joshi went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable, and I truly cherish the friendships I made with them. The food was extraordinary, not only in taste but also in presentation. Every meal felt like a work of art, perfectly complemented by delicious drinks. My tent was stunning—beautifully designed, impeccably clean, and incredibly private, with a breathtaking view. Everything functioned perfectly, including the AC, ensuring absolute comfort. Waking up to the peaceful sounds of birds and horses all around was an experience like no other. Casa Lamia is pure nature at its finest—a tranquil escape where you feel completely connected to the beauty of Costa Rica. The service was impeccable, with staff going above and beyond, even arranging a taxi for me when needed. A special thank you to Lilia, the incredible owner, who personally booked all my activities and continuously checked in to make sure I was having the best experience possible. Casa Lamia didn’t just provide a place to stay—it made my trip truly unforgettable. If you’re looking for a magical, immersive, and heartwarming experience in Costa Rica, this is the place. I can’t wait to return!

I wish I could have given this a higher rating, but unfortunately, many of the past reviews ring true. We stayed in a luxury tent, but the experience didn’t match the description. The door was unsealed and insecure, so we had to seal it ourselves to keep bugs out. We arrived to half a roll of toilet paper and had to wait two hours the next day for more. The shower fluctuated between scalding hot and freezing cold — staff attempted to fix it, but the issue persisted. Several things were in disrepair, including broken knobs and damaged framing around the toilet entrance. The jacuzzi was also dirty when we arrived and wasn’t cleaned until we requested it the next day. While staff were friendly and responsive, more proactive check-ins would have improved the experience. On the bright side, the location is magical, the breakfast was fantastic, and the bed and temperature in the tent were very comfortable. This place has so much potential, but it needs more attention to maintenance and guest experience, as echoed in other reviews.

This was our twelfth anniversary and we wanted to do something really special and Casa Lamia’s was it! The staff first welcomed us with a fully decorated room, a bottle of champagne and a welcoming sign wishing us a happy anniversary. Make sure you book in advance! We were lucky to not only experience their beautifully spacious Bungalows but we also booked a few days in their exclusive Luxury Tent rooms fit with your own private jacuzzi overlooking the rainforest. Each morning we were able to eat the included breakfast by the Jacuzzi. The Air Conditioning (which is always important to me) kept the room nice and cold. The water pressure was excellent as well! The restaurant was amazing, the best we had throughout our entire stay in Costa Rica and as foodies, we really appreciate the fresh ingredients and five star presentation! The sunsets overlooking the ocean From the elevated view are a dream and the specialized drinks just make for the perfect end to every day. We were able to take a brisk walk to what was basically private beach and uber 5 minutes into the city of Quepos or to the big beaches in Manuel Antonio where you can do horseback riding, parasailing or just relax on a beach chair and order a light lunch. We are already planning on coming back for our thirteenth anniversary!

Terrible Experience – Avoid at All Costs!

I wish I could give this hotel zero stars. From the moment we arrived, it was a nightmare. We found blood stains on our bath towel, which is absolutely unacceptable and disgusting. As if that wasn’t bad enough, in the middle of the night, someone tried to break into our room. It was terrifying and left us feeling completely unsafe. To make matters worse, the balcony reeked of sewage, making it impossible to enjoy any fresh air. When we raised these serious concerns with the staff, their only solution was to offer us a dinner—as if that could make up for the horrific experience we endured. I cannot stress this enough: avoid this place at all costs! It’s unsafe, unsanitary, and completely unprofessional.
