Cabañas Cañas Castilla

Great home made food. Great self guided trails

Wifi

Owners were super nice and helpful, and helped us see a toucan, 4 sloth, other birds, etc. The place is beautiful, near a lake/river (with a crocodile in it), the air conditioning in the room worked great, there were a few bugs (but we expected that in Costa Rica) and the room had spray in it. Room was large, had a refrigerator, bathroom was just fine. Outside area was great and beautiful and clean, free parking. Had a nice trail to walk. Easy to find.

The setting is great- on a river and secluded. off the tourist track but close enough to beaches that we could get to them in less than 30 minutes.

We loved it all. it should be noted that having a car is very helpful. It would be challenging to get around otherwise.

We found this place last minute, not knowing anything about La Cruz, just knowing we wanted to stay near the Nica border. We were greeted as soon as we got off our taxi by the hostess and her 2 friendly German Shepherds. Also greeted by howler and spider monkeys all over the trees above us, it was amazing! Just be careful because they throw their food down pretty hard when they’re finished with it 🤣 the hostess showed us two sloth in trees before we checked in. We saw a total of 3 in the 2 days we were there. Monkeys were in the trees right outside our cabin, it was the most wildlife I’ve seen on any of my stays to CR and this was just in one location. The property is adorable with chickens and roosters running around, goats in the pasture as well as cows and horses by the stables. Dinner was amazing. it was pizza night and the host made pizza after pizza after pizza 🤣🤣 in their wood fire grill outside. Breakfast did not disappoint either. So much food and all of it was delicious. I will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Great spot. Off the tourist track, peaceful and welcoming.

Nothing. it was great.

We got there around 7 pm, and even though it was very busy, the owners were very gracious and showed us to our room so we could get the kids settled and then checked us in. It's a beautiful property surrounded by plants and wildlife. It's always very clean and the refrigerator is great to have.

My husband said his side of the bed was uncomfortable, but I slept great.

I live in Costa Rica, so I travel with my dogs. I was looking for something relaxing for myself and my pups. It was relaxing with hammocks on the terrace and short well marked trails.

They have two German Shepards wandering freely around the property amongst small children and my dogs. They knew I was coming with three small dogs and their only response was that they have two German Shepherds. They NEVER once said that their dogs were dangerous! My one dog was cornered and attacked by the two large dogs and he was bitten and shaken. He had to be taken to a vet for emergency surgery that night. After almost a week, he remains in pain, and he is still bleeding from his ear and his hind quarters. He cannot be stitched yet because when they shook him, his skin detached from the structures below. My dogs are my babies which is why I take them on vacation with me. I would not trust those dogs around any other dogs OR small children! Their prey drive is too strong.
