“Loved it!”

Casa Laurin B&B

1/1 found this review helpful

We happened upon Casa Laurin and were so glad we did. Oasis is a great word for this B&B. Every detail has been thought of for you and Ginette is a wonderful host! Comfortable beds, great breakfast, free fast internet, good location as far as Escazu goes, every ammenity, potable water in rooms, clean, great places to sit and read and chat, maps and info about tours and Costa Rica. Very personal service; needed to go to the post office and instead of telling me how to get there Ginette came with me to show the way and help with mailing and then to search for kids boots I needed for our children.

Ginette is a fabulous host and the house is an upscale property in the best part of uptown San-Jose (Escazu). She even took care of the car rental for us.

“Supior B&B experience”

Casa Laurin B&B

2/2 found this review helpful

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. From making sure our car rental was set up right to the small details of how to mobilize around Costa Rica. She listened to our needs and provided information or help in meeting our desires. We observed this was done for the other guests who were staying at her B&B. We recommend this B&B if you want a supior personalized stay.

“Best B&B”

Casa Laurin B&B

30 Jan 2008

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.

Casa Laurin is a haven and a wonderful launching pad for visits to Costa Rica. The owner, Ginette Laurin runs a spacious and serene B&B. Her breakfasts are superb and the staff are very fine people.
Staying here is like being in a lovely home. Many guide books to read, gardens to sit in and Ginette is there with excellent advice and suggestions about what to do and see. Will always stay there. C Scott
