Their knowledge of the area was much appreciated as they... More

What a great trip to Costa Rica. Thanks to Mel and Ray who are wonderful people and who couldn't do enough for us. Be prepared to be wowed by the beaches and sunsets and the beautiful accommodations. The food was fantastic, especially the seafood. Thanks for the wonderful memories, Mel and Ray.

We thank the owners, Mel and Ray. They helped us make each day more comfortable. We were on a first time visit. This is an oasis of furnishings, landscape, pool, beach, sunset views and treats of baking and fresh fruit. Place Casa MelRay on your 'must choose' list!

Mel and Ray are welcoming and charming hosts who are happy to share their intimate knowledge of Costa Rica and all the local must-sees. My husband spent a morning fishing with Mel and Ray's... More

My experience at Casa Melray was one of the best vacations I have ever had. For starters the facility is gorgeously designed with superb finishes, beautiful furnishings and lush landscaping. It is located right on the beach with breathtaking views of ocean, sand, mountains and sunsets. But what really makes Casa Melray the jewel that it is, is the warm... More

My husband and myself stayed a week at Casa Melray while attending some friends wedding. The service was outstanding, the facility absolutely beautiful and the hospitality provided by Mel, Ray and Stephen exceptional. They make you feel like family and absolutely give you the five star treatment in everyway. They are helpful whatever your needs...just ask. I highly recommend Casa... More

Casa Melray was a wonderful experience. Mel and Ray were so amazing and warm. They made us feel like we were at home. Up in the penthouse we got to experience the wonderful view of the pool and the ocean because of the wrap around balcony. We enjoyed waking up to sunlight every morning and watching sunset on the beach.... More

We had heard how great Casa Mel Ray was from other family members that had stayed there so were looking forward to our vacation. We weren’t disappointed! We just got back from two weeks there and it was the vacation of a life time! The accommodations surpassed our expectations. We stayed in the frog suite ocean front with our own... More

As we approached the gate to Casa Melray, we knew immediately that we had chosen the most exquisite place, a.k.a, paradise, to spend our vacation. Mel’s warm smile was there to greet us and is forever in our memory. Ray and Mel opened their home and made us feel like we were part of their family, welcoming us that evening... More
