This was my first trip to Costa Rica and didn't know what to expect. I was greeted at the air[ort by Miguel, one of the drivers from the facility and he immediately put me at ease, he was so informative, kind and helpful. When we arrived we were greeted by Muni, who gave us exotic drinks and one of the warmest welcomes I have ever received. She handled all of my arrangement throughout my stay and left no detail to chance. The dinner at the resort was amazing!!and so was the omelet station at breakfast the next day. The rooms and grounds are immaculate, the staff was friendly and willing to help in any way. I met the owners Carlos and Jonle who treated me like family. It was an amazing stay!!!

These apartments are associated with a Spanish immersion school located a couple of minutes atbthe bottom of the hill and around the corner. The uphill wlevayed setting affordss a magnificent view, including of the Bay of Nicoya off,the Pacific Ocean. The apartments have a fridge, living room, and comfortable bedroom. The garden is well.landscaoed and quite beautiful. There is enough parking space for two cars. A washer and dryer can be found in the laundry room. The staff at the school can help with your bookings and are friendly and knowledgeable. The road uphill is rough on cars, but it is,mercifully a short if slow two minute drive from bottom to past the entry gate. Check out is self executed by leaving the key in a drop hole at the entrance. Ideal if you have a car and re looking for,something other than the backpacker hotels on town. Finally, there is a great view of the sunset on the walkway by the cliff overlooking the valley where locals and tourists gather at dusk for a great show.

“Convience and comfort”

You need a car to get around or spend time walking into town and around. There is a full kitchen and laundry room. The tours will pick you up and you are close to some nice eating places down the hill or up at the luxe hotel on the hill.

I booked three nights at Casas del Toro through Booking.com and provided my arrival time in advance, which the host confirmed. Unfortunately, when I arrived after dark, there was no one there to meet me. My messages went unanswered, and it took several attempts and a WhatsApp call before someone arrived about 25 minutes later. They were helpful in carrying my luggage up the steps to Room 5 and advised I would need to complete check-in the next day. The room itself was very spacious, with a kitchen area, dining table, a large bathroom, and two double beds. The views the next morning were beautiful — mountains and well-kept gardens — and I felt comfortable with the space. I had 2 issues with my stay, the first ants, I left an empty chocolate wrapper on the side and within a few minutes it was covered in ants. Also the tv didn't work, as I was travelling alone, I appreciated the background noise of the tv as I didnt leave the accommodation once it got dark (5.30pm). It took 90 minutes for staff to attend to spray the room and despite their efforts the tv was not fixed.
