Awakened before dawn by tropical birds. La Sonrisa was a three bedroom modernized Swiss Family Robinson experience. It is among a group of 4 bamboo houses. The beds were netted so no problem with insects. The kitchen and bathrooms were very functional with everything but food (which we knew). Next time I go to CR I will definitely head here.... More

We, 2 couples, spent 4 nights in Casa Bambu and loved every minute of it. We have been traveling to Southern Costa Rica for 7 years now and Casa Bambu really hit the spot! The house is way more beautiful than the pics on the website show. It is so great to have the open house so you can be... More

Great information provided about the house and area from owners! Great price for the house and best amazing views and wild life. Saw 15 plus monkeys every morning while eating breakfast. However if you don't like the outdoors this is not the place for you b/c the house is open air in the rain forest with no air condition. This... More

Our family -- me, my wife, and two children 17 and 12, -- traveled to Osa in Spring 2010 and spent a week at Casa Bambu. It was, without doubt or reservation, the most memorable family vacation we have had. The lodgings are simple, airy and clean. You awake in the moments before dawn to rolling calls of howler monkeys... More

Superlative adjectives only begin to describe how special casa bambu is. Our family spent 2 weeks there and loved every moment of our time there. We travel a lot (in fact just got back from a year traveling with our 2 sons aged 12,10) and we havent found a better place. We never like to go back to the same... More

We stayed at Casa Bambu in 2010 and it was a dream. Lyn and Kirk are fabulous hosts and the stresses of the real world melt away on that private beach. The cost was more than reasonable and the wildlife extraordinary. No cell phones and no tv's, nothing but beach, booze and solitude with your favorite people. More

I stayed at Casa Bambu twice in 2011. A week at the end of January and 18 days in December, so I guess I like the place. It has three great attributes - location, character and people. I travel extensively world-wide for my job. Every continent except Antartica. I have stayed nowhere else where I could see and hear so... More

This review is a long time coming. My family of 6 (2 parents and 4 young adult children ages 26-18) stayed in Casa Linda this past July and it was everything we had hoped for. Sometimes when you are looking forward to a vacation your expectations exceed the reality, but that was not the case here. The house is lovely,... More

By far, our stay at Casa Bambu was the best part of our trip. I need to state upfront that this is not a luxury resort. It's a get away from it all resort. The accommodations are amazing, but this is like Swiss family Robinson living at its finest. You'll need to grocery shop and there is no cell phone... More
