Zeida, Victor, and Al are super hosts. I don't want to spend this whole review repeating what other reviewers have said, so... More

Casa Cristal felt just like home. The staff was hospitable and helpful. You can get a home cook meal when eating at the restaurant. We didn't spend to much time at the hotel d/t tours lasting all day. Cant rate the pool or entertainment. The down fall was Mosquitos and ants but being so close to the trees and away... More

My second visit left me with a much different feeling than the first, when we made the reservations we were assured that we would have a great room, but... More

My recent trip to Costa Rica was for dental care and I selected this beautiful little jewel for my two week stay. The service I received from the owners, Zeida and Victor, and their very accommodating and efficient staff was top level and there were a few days I required special foods due to dental surgery and they happily made...
