Casa Luz was beautiful and looked even better than the pictures. We had plenty of space for our group and the location was near where we wanted to be. Our concierge, Mefi, booked wonderful excursions for us and was super helpful along the way. We would absolutely stay at Casa Luz again in the future.

I can not say enough good things about our concierge, Mefi. Our entire experience was amazing in no small part due to Mefis amazing hospitality. Our home was well stocked and perfect for our multi generational family including 4 young children, Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa. He helped us with tours and transportation.When our ice maker didn't appear to be working, Mefi had a repair man in 15 minutes. Then they also brought us bags of ice. When we come back to Costa Rica, we will stay in a Mefi managed property. Oh and the house itself is also very fun. Great views. We all enjoyed when the monkeys came to visit. Everything was well maintained. Highly recommend this property for a fun vacation.

Wonderful vacation for 3 generations

We stayed a week at Casa Luz and enjoyed it to the fullest! The first morning we awoke to a troop of squirrel monkeys, some with babies, on the deck. Their antics were delightful even when one took a dip in the swimming pool. We enjoyed bird watching, seeing toucans, scarlet macaws and many other beautiful birds. The iguanas visited us daily and the butterflies we saw were exquisite. My entire family agreed this was the perfect choice to enjoy the beauty and wildlife that Costa Rica has to offer!!
