Casa Lamia

Beautiful restaurant and hotel. It has a fun relaxed feel. As soon as you enter you feel transported. The rooms are beautifully decorated, they are specious and have all amenities. We truly enjoyed our stay. We ended up having dinner every night at Casa Lamia since it was the best restaurant we tried in Costa Rica. The service was friendly and impeccable. The staff made you feel at home. We were waken up everyday to a delicious breakfast made by Yeimy. Our fondest memories of Costa Rica were at Casa Lamia, can’t wait to go back.

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.

We enjoyed our stay overall but they describe it as beach front and that is not entirely true. The view of the sunset is spectacular but it is a long walk down a rough road to a small beach. We were not happy with the smell of mold in the unit. We tried to air it out but that just allowed more humidity in. The staff were great, the food and drinks were great and they did a small amount of laundry for us at no charge.

Casa Lamia was amazing! Anthony and Brandon were great. Anthony in particular was helpful in so many ways and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Also, the food was unmatched by any other restaurant we ate at during our 5 days in Costa Rica. The atmosphere was inviting and I would stay again and again if I could. Highly recommend for anyone.

We had a very odd experience at this “hotel,” which is basically just 3 rooms attached to a restaurant. Upon our arrival, we were told that our room had plumbing issues & they had to book us at another hotel. Obviously, we were disappointed. They told us to have a drink & wait until they could send over the details of the other hotel. Then, they came over to us after about 10 min saying that we could stay in a different room than we booked. We were then wondering if we would get any money back for downgrading our new room. While moving into our room, we saw people (owner + family) on the balcony of the room that we had been told was unavailable and were quite confused. At dinner, we asked to speak with the owner to express our concerns w/ the room we booked seeming to be occupied & the difference in pricing. She said no one was staying in that room (not true), they made a mistake when we arrived, & it was another guest that they had to move to another hotel. She also told us the room we booked did not exist when we booked it & we did not pay more. Both of these were contradictory to our booking info & what we were told earlier. Afterwards, we were given free shots & forced to take them with the employee. This was very weird & we immediately passed out upon our return to our room, which made us wonder what was in our shots. There were many whispered conversations about us during our stay & it was clear they were lying to us so the owner + friends could stay in that room.

The staff was very helpful and gave me recommendations on how to get around town without having a car rental. There is a bus stop at the bottom of the hill which made getting to the park & beach very easy and cheap! They are still renovating some of the bungalows, which meant some noise but the place will be beautiful once it is all finished! They also had an onsite restaurant which was great, and one that was right next door if you wanted to try something different without going down the big hill to the main road.

Cool place. Nice people. Easy in easy out,
