An unforgettable stay — Casa Castillo is truly special

Our stay at Casa Castillo in Manuel Antonio was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations.

Every morning we woke up to squirrel monkeys and capuchin monkeys right on our terraces, which felt surreal. We even saw a howler monkey casually walking along the walkway to the house—an experience we will never forget. Being surrounded by wildlife like that made the stay feel truly magical and immersive.

The staff were absolutely incredible—attentive, responsive, and thoughtful down to the smallest detail. Any time we needed something, we made a call and within minutes someone was there to help. They handled everything for us: booking tours, coordinating all arrangements, and even doing the grocery shopping so we could fully relax and enjoy our vacation.

The house manager, Mauricio, was outstanding. He checked in with us daily, asked how our meals and tours were, made excellent restaurant and activity suggestions, and genuinely cared that we were having the best experience possible.

And the food—wow. Chef Roberto is phenomenal. Every meal was delicious, beautifully prepared, and restaurant-quality. As a bonus, he even managed to talk my son into going on the night jungle tour—something he had previously refused to do—so that alone deserves a gold star!

What truly sets Casa Castillo apart is the people. Everyone was kind, personable, and trustworthy. It honestly felt like staying with friends who genuinely wanted us to have the trip of a lifetime.

We highly recommend booking your stay at Casa Castillo, and we will absolutely be staying here again when we return to Costa Rica.

One important note for future guests: a 4x4 vehicle is an absolute MUST. You cannot get up the hill in a van. You can park at the top and walk, but be warned—it’s a serious leg workout and cardio session. Anyone who is not physically fit would struggle with the walk.

Trust this review—Casa Castillo is worth it in every way. 🌿🐒🇨🇷

Happy guest

Sudbury & Linke family vacation
from Utah, USA

Casa Castillo – you treated the nine of us to some spectacular views, swims, eats, and much needed quality time. Taking a break from our busy lives back in Utah to immerse ourselves in the beautiful culture in Costa Rica was absolutely healing to the soul. We all said that this was our favorite vacation of all time. This house truly had it all, and it will be hard to beat.

While we unfortunately didn’t get the chance to see any tucans, we watched lots of monkeys, birds, and iguanas that we would otherwise never be fortunate enough to see.

The staff – Mauricio, Karen, Wander, and the chef, Roberto – couldn’t have made this experience any more enjoyable.

We will be thinking of this trip for years to come. Hopefully, we’ll get to come back to this beautiful country one day. The scenery, animals, people, and Pura Vida vibes were a dream come true.

Thank you, Casa Castillo!

Sudbury & Linke family vacation

We recently stayed at Casa Castillo. There was a total of 9 of us. Two families with 5 kids/young adults 17-23. The home was perfect and included all the amenities anyone could need. Everyone had an enough room for rest and relaxation but the common areas of the kitchen and living room were so fun for games and hanging out.

We saw several different monkeys, birds, and lizards and had a fantastic view of Manuel Antonio Nat’l Park. The pool was a great place to relax from the day’s adventures.

In addition, our stay was made even better with food from Chef Roberto and housekeeping from Karen. Mauricio was a perfect concierge by setting up amazing ziplining and tours of the park as well as perfect beach days and so much more.

When we return to CR Mauricio will be our first call.

Amazing experience and perfect home

Casa Castillo was amazing! We came with a large extended family and the accommodations, and the view!, could not have been more perfect. Mau was incredible, anything we needed he was there to help. We also hired the cook for a couple of nights; food was delicious. All around it was a trip we will remember always; my family is already asking when they can go back.

Casa Castillo

We had a wonderful time!  Casa Costello was charming, comfortable, and spacious.   We were able to relax and enjoy quality time.   The extra bonus was meeting Maurizio our concierge. No task or question was too much
for him to handle.  And he was always gracious and willing to meet our needs.  Karen our housekeeper and Dillion the groundskeeper were wonderful and kept the house running smoothly. Our visit to Costa Rica was more the we ever could have imagined!
