Jul 3 - Jul 11, 2026
Our family trip to Costa Rica was absolutely incredible, and KimKim Travel and Serendipity Adventures, local travel specialist, delivered exceptional value every step of the way. They created a thoughtfully planned itinerary that was perfectly tailored to our family, saving us time, stress, and uncertainty while making the entire experience feel effortless. Bryan, Nancy and Adrian, among others at Serendipity Adventures, worked diligently to make sure everything ran smoothly and worry-free. A special shoutout to our private chef, Sarah, and his assistant, Natalia, whose delicious meals were one of the highlights of our stay at Casa Fantastica. Their food and warm hospitality made us feel completely at home. We had fantastic tour guides and drivers such as Alex our driver who was a wealth of local information. Brian at the Sunset Sailing Cruise made our sailing adventure so much fun with an excellent dinner and drinks. Tucanes Tours made our horseback riding adventure so much fun and we felt safe and well taken care of. The people at Villa Vanilla Spice Tour were so knowledgeable and the vanilla and other products we purchased were such high quality. Very informative tour. Champions Surf School made our surf lessons so much fun and we had a wonderful day at the beach. Casa Fantastica has a wonderful staff from the concierges, Carlos and Sarah, to the cleaning and laundry services people. Very professional and friendly. Again, Chef Sarah at Casa Fantastica was truly remarkable and really made our trip one to remember.
Hotel Review
Our family trip to Costa Rica was truly one we will never forget, and Casa Fantastica played such a special part in making it so meaningful. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, relaxed, and cared for. Carlos and Sarah, the concierges on the property, were so helpful. The beauty of the home, the incredible views, and the peaceful surroundings gave us the perfect place to slow down and enjoy time together as a family. The cleaning staff, laundry staff and maintenance people were great and so attentive to our needs and requests. A huge part of what made our stay so memorable was Chef Sarah, and her assistant, Natalia. Sarah wasn't just an amazing chef, she became part of our experience. Her warmth, kindness, and attention to every detail made us feel like we were being cared for by a friend. Every meal was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. Sitting around the table sharing those meals became some of our favorite moments of the entire trip. Casa Fantastica gave our family the gift of unforgettable memories, laughter, connection, and time together that we will always treasure. We are so grateful for the hospitality and care that went into making our stay extraordinary. Costa Rica will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we hope to return to Casa Fantastica again someday.
Activity Review
This was a wonderful family activity. Sailing aboard a pirate ship in the ocean. What could be more fun. Brian on the staff made our time at sea an adventure and so much fun. We had a wonderful dinner and drinks. Took time out to enjoy the ocean snorkeling, or paddle boarding, or just lounging in the ocean with a pool noodle. We were also able to see dolphins swimming next to our boat. Highly recommend this experience.
