Our first out of USA travels were made excetional by Ginette the owner of Casa Laurin B&B in Escazu a province of San Jose, Costa Rica. She made sure every detail for our stay ran smoothly.

Casa Laurin is a great place to stay. Ginette takes a genuine interest in her guests and facilitates their interests, whether it is lining up rental cars, taxis, tour recommendations, etc. The house is immaculate with a lot of open common areas. Highly recommended, a standard of service that I haven't seen in any other B&B worldwide. more

It was just blind incredible luck that I chose to stay at Casa Laurin. It is perfectly situated for whatever you want to do - just rest, or travel about Costa Rica. Ginette, the owner, a Canadian speaks English, French, and Spanish perfectly. She has been in Costa Rica for 8 years, and there is NOTHING she does not know... more

Ginette has a first class B&B. It is a great mid-Century modern type house with lots of public space to hang out in, lovely gardens and very close to the action (a short walk or cab ride away). Ginette is a great innkeeper- she was very helpful in making arrangements for us before our arrival and when we arrived starving... more

Casa Laurin is a delightful place to be in Costa Rica. It is spacious and private, but with the added benefit of a gracious hostess, who generously offers to help you enjoy your stay. Breakfasts are beautifully served and delicious. It is easy to interact and get to know other guests. The environment is warm and homelike--just the thing that... more

We stayed with Ginette for three days in September. This B&B is a perfect place to stay for any occasion. Ginette is the best host and goes out of her way to make your stay an enjoyable one. We give her 100 Gold Stars and will stay there next year if we are able to visit Costa Rica again. The... more

We visited Casa Laurin for the start of our trip and for the end. Jeanette is one of the most thoughtful and helpful people you will ever find. You can correspond with her via email and she is quick to respond. She had her driver pick us up at the airport for a cost of $20 about a 15 min... more
