Casa Papito

Where to start to describe how wonderful our stay was - the house is just fantastic : large, clean rooms, super decent (canadian/swiss made … as the owner is swiss) and the swimming pool is gorgeous - the host : daniel was just fabulous , giving tips, baking bread, sharing beach gear, telling stories, … the world would be a better place with more people like him - the location : playa potrero is a bit more quiet than the surrounding playas (depends on your liking off course) … 200m and you walk onto the beach If we revisit costa rica, Casa Papito will definitely be booked again

It’s a resort on a small scale, very high quality. The host, Daniel, was very kind and interesting in a good way. You get to park behind an electronic gated fence as well. Restaurants are close by car and one is a short walking distance.

Casa Papito is a true hidden gem in the heart of Playa Potrero. This charming homestay combines comfort, hospitality, and a prime location, making it an ideal relaxing getaway. With access to secure parking and a separate entrance, it provided my husband, baby, and I both privacy and the extra bonus of knowledgeable, multilingual locals just steps away. From the moment we arrived, the warmth of the hosts, Charlotte and Daniel, set the tone for an exceptional experience. Their genuine hospitality and attention to detail, not to mention Daniel's delicious homemade bread, made us feel right at home. Our room was spacious, well-equipped, and thoughtfully designed, including an extra-large private terrace, fully stocked kitchen, and cozy furnishings (dining set, hammock, lounge chairs and more). We were surrounded by beautiful, native vegetation, which almost gave a treehouse feeling to the accommodation. The property is perfectly situated, just a short stroll away from restaurants, Potrero Beach, and excellent cafes -Nita is simply lovely and you might just meet the namesake :) There is also a saltwater swimming pool, which we greatly enjoyed for a morning dip, as well as to cool off after a day of exploring. After such a wonderful experience, this will be our go-to spot when visiting Guanacaste.

Nothing, everything was lovely.

The space is big enough for three adults. Even the temporary twin bed was surprisingly comfortable. We only used the kitchen to make coffee but it’s well equipped. The terrace is enormous. The whole place is immaculately clean and maintained, built with quality materials. We enjoyed the soothing international vibe of the “house music” which was a nice option. It feels like you’re staying in the trees, very tranquil. The hosts are so warm! They even offered us to use their compressor to fill our semi-flat tire.

Lovely property owned by wonderful retired couple. Hosts are amazing and welcoming. Recommend checking out gyrocopter tour if you can. Close proximity to Potrero beach and easy access (by car) to nearby Guanacaste beaches. House is well made and accommodation is very spacious with a large outdoor property if you can stomach the heat.

Not the fault of the owners, but the area is currently undergoing a lot of development which causes a lot of construction traffic with large trucks that you can hear and see from the patio passing on the main road. It takes away from the otherwise peaceful atmosphere.

The location in Playa Potrero was a great home base and a more relaxed feel than the larger beaches nearby. The hosts are outstanding people and really made the stay exceptional with their kind and friendly approach. The very stylish private studio and patio with kitchenette were perfect for soaking up the beach sun and breezes.

Really had no complaints. They were very accommodating and we had everything we needed.

The owners Daniel and his wife Charlotte were very helpful and a pleasure to converse with. The accòmmodation was wonderful. Very short walk to a great beach. 11/10 rating
