Idea was good when property was initially designed. Right now its in ruins. Absolutely no maintenance. Stink in bathrooms. Ran out of water last day. Free breakfast is a joke. Two stars as owner gave a courtesy replacement room. Owners need to get act together if they want any visitors. I am not sure how there are so many positive reviews.

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.

The view from the front of Casa Lamia is hard to beat. The first night we sat and watched the sun go down with a sailing yacht in the foreground. Breakfast was included every morning and was homemade and delicious

This property provided breathtaking views of the expansive sea, offering a sense of tranquility and connection to nature. The soothing sound of waves crashing against the shore was a constant companion, creating a relaxing atmosphere throughout our stay. The proximity to the ocean allowed for easy access to beach activities like swimming, snorkeling, and beachcombing. Waking up to the sight and sound of the ocean waves just steps away was a highlight of our experience. Overall, the property's prime location by the ocean made for an unforgettable and rejuvenating getaway.

Anthony and Brandon were wonderful and very hospitable. The view from the restaurant was spectacular. The food was magnificent. We had the seafood platter. The sounds of the jungle birds from the back deck were magical. We saw wild horses and iguanas everyday. I would recommend this location to anyone who wants a beautiful view, who loves nature and who is okay to be a two minute drive from the main road.

The property has a beautiful view and within a very short walk you reach a wonderful and almost virgin beach. Our room was spacious and had a big terrace with a view to the beautiful jungle. Guest attentiont and hospitality was poor. One night we wanted to stay in the lobby and chill with friends but the night guard turned the lights off at 10 pm. It´s a very nice and new place but don´t expect a hotel, its a bed and breakfast.

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

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.

I will preface this review with I went during down season (end of October). There was no signage for the place. I did drive past it in the first time. When I circled back, it took me a second to recognize it because it was nothing like I expected it to look. I was greeted right away and given a welcome drink. For my stay, the worker (totally forgot her name!) was super sweet, attentive and accommodating! She immediately showed me to my room. This property only had two rooms (at least from what I could see or at least on the main floor). My room was just as described. It even had a fridge which was a huge plus! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to like it as much as I was hoping to. When I arrived, they were doing construction. The host reassured me they would be done in about an hour and they would not be working the next day. The sink in the bathroom leaked, like drip, drip leak. All night. Only the knob on the left of the faucet worked, not the right, and even then, I had to find the sweet spot to get it to turn on and off. The “patio” from my room was something I was most looking forward to. Unfortunately, it’s shared space with the room next door. There is no division between both “patios.” The beautiful views are obstructed by a giant, metal roof constructed out from under the “patio.” The restaurant was also closed so I was unable to try it. The rooms are very close to the street so I was woken up very early by motorcycles and vehicles zooming by.

Very nice little hotel, great for stays where you will spend most of the time outside. We had some slightly noisy neighbors one night but not sure if it was other guests or just noisy neighbors from around the hotel’s vicinity.

Nada más llegando no había personal solo la gerente que no encontraba nuestra reserva, el restaurante cerrado, en la noche el carro tuvo que dormir en una entrada que daba a la calle, la habitación que habíamos recibido estaba con un fuerte olor a humedad por los que nos pasaron a una más pequeña, la vista da a un techo a medio construir, el desayuno al día siguiente solo una opción y estaba frío, la fruta pasada, la verdad imposible de recomendar.

Unfortunately who reviews. oMG no this place needs major help. It’s so unsanitary: I was scared to even tell the manager or person in charge due to leaving one of there sister properties which was told No no but they have the igloo beach lodge truck parked up in front: the floors the sheets smelled. The bathroom had mold. The faucet one handle is broken. What I have pictures to show. Mind you the iguanas walking on the roof and under all night. Might be nature but they can be removed.

Something I don't think is clear enough, The rooms are inside a restaurant. We stayed in one of the two rooms inside the building (it looks like there were additional tents on the property). The staff were friendly and helpful, we were provided our welcome drink upon arrival and able to check in early. While the room itself is well decorated and curated, it had a mini fridge and coffee maker, AC and a hanging space for your clothes. There was also no hand towel or floor towel provided for the bathroom and shower, there were no coffee mugs provided for the coffee maker, there was poop out on the netting, the curtains fell out of the wall when we went to close them, half the holes in the shower head just didn't have water. Over all it was clean enough, however the netting (part of the desire to book) was connected to the other rooms netting, as there was a small walkway between the rooms where you could access the netting from the restaurant, making the giant wall of windows slightly less appealling as anyone could walk onto the netting and if you were out there it would not be hard to see into the room beside us and vice versa. The restaurant was pricey compared to some of the other dinner places so we only ate breakfast there which was included. Breakfast portions were smaller compared to everywhere else we had eaten but good, you only have the drink option of drop coffee and its a set menu. Parking got tricky at night as there was only room for maybe 4 or 5 cars.
