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.

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

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!

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!

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.

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.

This place was not finished, under construction and falsely advertised as 4 stars. There was noisy construction throughout the day on Sunday it started at 7:00am. The room walls were incredibly thin, and we could hear all the restaurant conversations in the room until late at night. The water stopped running after about 30 seconds of showering. Many of the things in the hotel were cheaply made. For example, the faucet handle fell off, the curtains did not fully cover the windows, and the sheets were cheap material. The WiFi was unreliable, constantly on and off. In the morning there was no running water, and we had to brush our teeth with bottled water. When complained to the owner, she became upset. The place has nice views and great potential but the execution and management are poor.

Our stay at Casa Lamia was definitely not what we were expecting. I'll start with the pros: - The view from the restaurant is beautiful and the private beach (though it required a short drive plus a downhill hike) is magical. - The staff was nice and even offered us complimentary laundry service. - You can tell they put a lot of thought into the design of the rooms and restaurant area - it's unique and adds to the ambiance. The cons: - We didn't realize this but Casa Lamia is not a hotel - there's no lobby or check in area. It's just a restaurant with some rooms attached. - The day we checked in the floors of the room were seriously dirty. We took some photos of our feet after a few steps barefoot and it was intolerable. There were hairs on the toilet, in the shower, and on the sheets as well. We had to ask them to clean again, which they did the following day. - The water only works half of the time. Sometimes the toilet doesn't flush, the sink doesn't have water, and the shower doesn't either. We couldn't shower the morning of our checkout because there was no water at all. The manager just shrugged it off as "the Costa Rican experience" but we haven't seen this anywhere else. All in all we probably wouldn't come back here but wanted to write this review in case it could help anyone else when making a decision.

Throw up and Human P**p

Woke up to throw up in front of our room. Later discovered human poop above our balcony. No manager on site during the entire stay. Addressed the issue to the local staff, who don’t speak English and also could not contact anyone when calling. Escalated it to Hotels.com and they also had no luck resolving it with the hotel management. Restaurant and bar in the pictures look vibrant, but empty with small menu in reality.

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.

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.

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.
