We felt like God totally smiled on us when we arrived at Casa Lima. It is a beautiful BB, the rooms were so clean, smelled delicious, fresh flowers, all we needed was there. Rooms are mini suites. It was an amazing experience. Would not trade a five star hotel for this place. Location is super safe! Good neighborhood, centrally located. Lots close. The food, I frankly say has been the best I have eaten in CR. The attention was outstanding. I felt I was home and spoiled. It was raining and we wanted to stay home, they gave us a bag that included a DVD player and 5 new releases to choose from. Nothing is overlooked at Casa Lima. The price well very hard to beat as well. This place is a MUSt to stay at even if, your planning to visit other parts of the country, you must first experience Casa Lima.

We were amazed at the value, service, surroundings, beauty, and staff at Casa Lima. We loved all of the exotic birds, but Don Kiku was definitely the biggest hit! He is the funniest, friendliest monkey we have ever seen. The food was very tasty, and reasonably priced. Even their pizza is great! We could never have found a nicer place for the money, and we loved every person that worked there. They are also extremely helpful in setting up tours, and they really do make you feel as if you are right at home. We could not have been more satisfied! Nelson, the Innkeeper, has great taste in decorating, and is a delight to talk to! Do yourself a great favor, and stay here when you are in Costa Rica.

Joanne and Tara USA Rooms are uniquely different. The bed felt great and the room was spacious. The neighborhood very upscale minutes from the American Embassy. I felt secure-safe. It is within walking distance (5-10 min) mc donalds-shopping strip. Also close to bus to San Jose. Miguel very knowledgeable of bus-distance traveling - just very helpful for our one night stay. The lobby is so peaceful. You have a private atrium. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends.

We just finished a 4 day/3 night stay at Casa Lima. What a wonderful place! The atmosphere is breathtaking, the staff (especially Miguel and Xenia) are very helpful and friendly, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the food was excellent. We were so taken with Casa Lima that we have already recommended it to our friends. Miguel was wonderful as front desk/waiter/tour coordinator. His English is excellent, his recommendations were right on target, and his customer service was beyond compare. We will be back again.

I stayed in Casa Lima for a weeks time and I was blown away with the immense detail that they have put into the place. The minute you walk into the bed and breakfast you feel as though you have been transcended to another place, where all is beautiful and good. There garden is spectacular with all different kinds of exotic plants. The rooms were super cozy and I could hear the waterfall all night long, which was very soothing. The rooms have a lot of air circulating, I was never hot. The food was good and the staff was phenomenal. All in all it was a fabulous trip and Casa Lima made it even better. These pictures just don't do the place justice. I recommend you go and check it out for yourselves.

I have been to Costa Rica several times now. This time I wanted to stay away from downtown and Casa Lima was just what I hoped it would be. Although it lacks some of the amenities of the big hotels, it makes up in its charm and romantic environment. It is in a great location, walking distance to several restaurants, shops, etc. Ideal for someone who is there to tour different regions of Costa Rica . Front desk staff helped us with the tours and directions on how to get to different places… Overall very satisfied! Will recommend and we’ll return….

Visiting Costa Rica was a breath-taking experience! Casa Lima was quaint and exotic. Our room was cozy while allowing us to listen to the beautiful sounds of nature. Also, the courtyard was an exceptional place to sip a cool drink as well as relax. The prices were economical and the hospitality was exceptional!

I went with my wife last month to Casa Lima. She wanted that romantic feeling and she got it. We loved the patio. The manager was very friendly and upon our return from a long exhausting tour, we had a complementary bottle of wine awaiting for us in our room. Great touch! My wife loved the decor and all the different types of plants EVERYWHERE. Great place to stay totally worth the value.

I just got back from Casa Lima b&b & WOW!!!!...This place was AMAZING!!! The hospitality is so nice (Miguel was so kind & helpful, & speaks english very well). The set up of the place really makes you feel as if you are in a rainforest, with all the plants, trees & animals. I loooooved 'Kiko', the monkey...He is too cute! The food, service, & b&b itself was the best! They also upgraded our room for free & treated us to a free bottle of wine...this was so kind & shows how they go the extra mile to please their guests. The area is great to walk around in...not far from stores/restaurants. I will DEFINITELY stay here again when I return to San Jose. I highly recommend this b&b!

I was looking for a quick getaway not too far from the states when a friend recommended I check out Costa Rica. I had never been there before but I had heard about what a beautiful place it is. I got online, booked the flights and found this inexpensive bed and breakfast called Casa Lima. Located about 25 minutes from the airport, Casa Lima was more than I expected, a charming little place that set the tone for a very special weekend. The staff at Casa Lima was fabulous and helped me with selecting 2 tremendous excursions which picked us up right in front of Casa Lima. The first tour started with a spectacular tour of a volcano called Poas, then proceeded with a visit to La Paz Waterfall Gardens which contains some of the most amazing species in the world. The second tour was an incredible Canopy adventure, something I never thought I would ever do, became the coolest thing I ever did in my life as I safely "soared" from tree to tree by traversing along a cable from one mountain side to another. What a thrill! What a weekend! My wife loved it and I became a hero!

I'm a producer and I had to go on a location scout for a possible shoot in San Jose. I wanted to stay in a non-conventional well known hotel, because I like to be with the people one-on-one. It helps me to get a true feel and vibe for the place... So an associate recommended we stay here, just to see what its all about, and... What a wonderful surprised! I stayed in a Family suite and the service was wonderful. Great space, internet and everything... The next time I go there I'll be at Casa Lima FOR SURE. It's a great value for the pocket and exceeds your expectations on the whole experience.

I just traveled to Costa Rica for the thanksgiving holiday. I stayed at Casa Lima and loved it so much, that it was tuff when it was time to leave. It's a mini paradise...the lush greenery sorrounding the courtyard is breathtaking paired with the soothing sound of their waterfall. What a peaceful and beutiful place. Staff was amazing!

Loved the place…tranquil and relaxing. There is a man-made tropical courtyard right outside your window. And “KIKO” was adorable. Every morning, my friends and I had breakfast, which was included in the price, and head out for a day of adventure. The atmosphere in the hotel was just what we needed after a long day.

I just came back from spending a week in Costa Rica. Flew in to San Jose and stayed two nights at Casa Lima. It was a very unique bed and breakfast. I loved the courtyard, reminded me of being in an actual rainforest. This is so different from a hotel. I so much rather stay at a b & b. I loved it so much that after spending 3 nights in Manuel Antonio, I returned to Casa Lima for another 2 before returning to the states. Would definitely stay again.

I had never been to Costa Rica, and was very apprehensive on where to stay. I am from Miami and found Casa Lima via the internet. The service, the cleanliness, and the lush paradise that surrounds this picturesque bed and breakfast really made me connect with the beauty of Costa Rica. The food was spectacular and the friendly and helpful staff made me feel right at home. I would definitely recommend Casa Lima. It was a wonderful choice!!!!!

I stayed this summer at Casa Lima. How quaint and adorable it was and the price totally unbeatable. The staff was very friendly and attentive to my needs. You have to try the restaurant!! Specially the “ropa vieja”. It was AMAZING! The Court yard was very romantic and made me feel like if I was in the rain forest. A must see!
