Our family came here to celebrate our parents 60th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful experience with lots of amazing memories. Ranged in age from 2 to 82 and everyone had a great time. The owner was very helpful in answering all of our questions prior to arrival and the house was perfect with a beautiful view. The staff was wonderul; they were more than accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Marcela and her staff came in and prepared the most delicious anniversary dinner that appealed to everyone. All agree we would come back here to stay again for a future vacation. Thank you to everyone at Casco Amarillo for making this such a great celebration!

The property was in good shape and the staff was extremely accommodating. We hired Marcela, at the owner's recommendation, to cook breakfast and dinner for us. Not only was the price reasonable, but the food was gourmet! Even the pickiest of our picky toddlers loved it. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have privacy, but we were all drawn back to the pool and the stunning ocean view. There was enough greenery to enjoy privacy from the neighbors and experience wildlife. The property is steep and located on the side of a hill, but we had no problem getting to it with a 2 wheel-drive car. We loved the area and would come back to Dominical and this fabulous house.

Our stay at Casa Amarilla was absolutely perfect. Everything from the incredible villa with all its amenities, the attentive staff, the spectacular views, the location and easy access to the village of Dominical made our annual family reunion perfect. There were 22 of us in our group, the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The living areas were expansive and always provided the needed privacy for separate family groups traveling together. Every room has picture perfect ocean views. We loved lounging by the infinity pool. It was the perfect place for relaxing and watching the waves break on Playa Dominical. We had the pleasure of Marcela and Heavens Kitchen prepare and serve all of our meals. They are such a delightful family - we all loved the exquisite tropical flavors and fare. The photos and description of the villa do not do it justice. But the expansive beauty of Casa Amarilla has to be experienced. We always had someone available to assist us if we needed anything. This vacation was about relaxing and adventure and Casa Amarilla was the center of that experience. It is truly the gem of Dominical. I highly recommend this home for anyone considering a trip to Costa Rica.

House was in a beautiful spot. Quiet neighbors but nearby highway with semi trucks using their Jake Brake makes for lots of unwelcome road noise. There is no way the pictures in the listing were taken in the last few years. Multiple maintenance issues with the property. Desperately needs pressure washing and painting. Pool tile is missing in manny areas. Furniture is old, doesn’t match and needs replacing. Inside the beds are old and linens need replacing, inside light falling down while outside lights not working. We’ve previously stayed in many beautiful properties in the area that did not disappoint. We needed the bedrooms that this property had but would not have stayed here if we knew how poor of condition the house and surrounding buildings were.

This was a property of an absolute lifetime! The photos don’t do it justice, so many beautiful areas to gather together and large enough to have alone time (even when there were 23 of us staying for 6 nights!) We were 7 families and there was plenty of room and plenty of bathrooms. The pool and view over the ocean is breath-taking and it was fun to watch the iguanas through the trees. The washer/dryer were very useful to those of us who had already been traveling before we arrived. Communication was very good with the owner (Walter) before arriving and once on-site, Edwin the property manager and his wife, Yahira (spelling?) were amazingly helpful. We utilized the chef services the first night and for breakfast the next day and it was delicious. The rest of the time we cooked together. It might be helpful for other renters to know there are no condiments (no salt, pepper, oil etc) kept on the premises as we were a little surprised by that. Not a big deal when this was the best place we had ever stayed but maybe useful to know. Dominical is a lovely little town with some good cafes/restaurants. You definitely need a 4x4 to get up and down the hill.

The vibe of this place is truly special! Our guests were glad to have trekked all the way for our weekend immersion. The house is more beautiful than the photos and we can tell it was designed with intention and is well loved and maintained. The feeling of the ocean breeze going through the main house was perfect, we were never really too hot. Sleeping with AC was super important though, so thank you for that. The place is sprawling--plenty of space for 18 adults. We hosted a retreat and stayed on property nearly the entire time, except for one trip to Playa Dominical which was an $8 taxi ride away. We booked everything through the property manager and it was great, made our time much easier. We booked shuttles from SJO and highly recommend choosing to be driven after a long flight! We stopped for yummy food and a few groceries along the way. I am also glad we didn't drive because the roads are insanely steep and in this area people use verbal/relational directions instead of GPS. I was super impressed with the shuttle driver's skills. WOW to Marcela, the chef and team! They were incredible and have great energy, made creative and delicious local food. Highly recommend! Edwin, the house manager is incredibly helpful, so grateful for him! Having the house staff each morning was wonderful-- they came to learn, empty trash, handle dishes, make beds and tidy up each morning and they are delightful humans. Thank you for an incredible stay!

This house was a perfect spot for our group of women we brought for an art retreat. There was enough room to spread out, the pool was nice and most of all, the chef Marcela that we had with her family to cook three meals a day for us was exceptional! She was very accommodating to all of us and would take special requests without a problem. The hike up the road from the ocean is steep, but doable. We would rent this again
