Dar Lamia Boutique Hotel

We had a wonderful stay, what a beautiful resort!

I had a great time at Casa Lamia. I will miss the staff, Maday, Brian, and Ariel in particular. The treats Maday left, and the fun she evidentally had doing it, left me thinking that I have never had anyone take such delight in helping me have fun -- and I was married for 20 years! The room has a minimalist backing with tasteful decorations to make it unique and calming, more like a frame for the view out the large window. It was described as Bauhaus Chic, and I think that fits. The view of the ocean from the front is beautiful. The toucan I saw in the tree through the large window was a treasure, along with the Morpho butterfly I saw the day I left. I like getting some exercise, so the walk to Vaca beach was good. Even better was the walk to Macha beach, which has more sand. It is an easy walk to Quepos with most parts of the road having a safe place to walk. I would take a bus/uber/taxi to the town of Manuel Antonio (or to the national park, which is not the town) because I don't think that walk is as safe, but from Manuel Antonio town down to Espadilla beach is easy and safe. The walk from the bus stop is lit at night, which is really helpful. Breakfasts were always good and filling. They were restaurant style, sit down breakfasts, not U.S.-style continental breakfasts and not the C.R. traditional Gallo Pinto. Brian and Ariel both made specialty drinks to mix things up a bit. The hotel caters to couples, but for at least this single guy, it was a treat.

Dar Lamia exceeded all our expectations. The service was truly amazing, every staff member was warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. They also surprised us with a lovely birthday decoration and a bottle of Prosecco, which was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel truly celebrated. The food was delicious, especially breakfast and dinner with the beautiful sunset view. Every dish felt fresh and carefully prepared, and the cocktails were excellent too. You can really feel the love and care they put into every detail. We will definitely be coming back

Well appointed property with a family vibe. The staff were all wonderful. NOTE if you stay in their tents/yurts please know you hear everything around you and that falls on it. I am not used to sleeping through dogs barking, motorcycles going up hills and rain/seeds/etc dropping. But other than that we loved it! Great location as well up the hill from town but still easy access to it and the park. Great sunset views.
