My fiance and I had a wonderful time at Casa Magna...we were extremely pleased with the entire staff and the wonderful food that was served daily and nightly there...The accomdations were quite charming and the beach was beautiful...Ideal spot to go and unwind and enjoy great service with a friendly attitude...A definite repeat location to revisit.. more

After a terrible, sleepless night next door at Hamaca Loca, one of my girlfriends and I decided to decamp to something a little more upscale. Casa Magna was convenient and had availability, so off we went. This place is, as others have noted, the former beach house of Pablo Escobar. Architecturally, it's amazing, and it's been beautifully decorated, too. Our... more

My fiance and I recently stayed at Casa Magna for a week and it was the most amamzing experience. The rooms are huge and styled beautifully... simple but very comfortable. We had so much space that we spent a number of nights just chilling out in our room on the huge couches and swinging in the balcony hammock. There was... more

This is a heartbreaking review which echoes the same disappointments mentioned by previous reviewers. We planned our wedding in Casa Magna after first visiting Melissa and believing her promises and enthusiasm with regard to planning the wedding for us. However once we signed a contract, her attitude completely changed and she became unprofessional, sloppy, and greedy. She never returned emails... more

I went to Casa Magna on a Yoga Retreat which was amazing. Because of the group I was with it couldn't have been a better trip...except for some minor annoyances brought by the owner Melissa. I arrived well ahead of the group andhad taken the red eye. I was greeted by amazing people who work at Amansala and Magna. I... more

As several previous travelers have mentioned, Casa Magna is in an absolutely gorgeous setting. So imagine my surprise on arriving in paradise for my friend's wedding to find the owner/manager (Melissa) of the property be the least helpful person among the staff. She went back on her word (as well as the contract) on several different things. A destination wedding... more

My fiancee and I just returned from Casa Magna and I completely agree with what the people below write. This is a place you should not go to even though it is beautiful because the owner Melissa is terrible. We had contacted her before our arrival and said that we wanted to have our wedding there. She spent zero time... more

Poor management also was our experience like the earlier review on "Beware." Do not assume confirmations by phone,emails, or visits will be kept. My daughter's wedding included two on site visits with my daughter and son-in-law, both M.B.A.'s, and his mother, a professor of economics, and a contract. These persons are fluent in English and Spanish. Many assurances were simply... more

I want to warn travelers intending to stay at Casa Magna. Although it is a beautiful place our experience was terrible due to the owner's mismanagement. She showed disreputable business practices in booking our rooms via e-mail, overcharging us and then conviently losing our reservation when a larger yoga retreat group showed up. She actually kicked us out of the... more
