First - this is an amazing place - the location, the view, the house, the wildlife. Definitely add the meals in during your stay. They are delicious! And it is easily a 45 minute drive to any restaurant. The drive down to the is challenging to say the least. Go slow! Definitely booked the tours through Robert and jungle eco tours. They are well worth it!

The home is spacious, beautifully appointed, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. Surrounded by a true mecca of wildlife, it offers a peaceful, immersive experience in nature while still feeling well cared for and inviting. From morning wildlife sightings to quiet evenings in a serene setting, it was a memorable and rejuvenating stay. We would happily return and recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil jungle escape.

This property is very beautiful in an even more beautiful setting. Walter (property manager) was extremely responsive to requests and Jim the owner was quick to answer messages. Our entire family enjoyed this property. A few things to note the road getting there is extremely rough, when they tell you that 4 wheel drive is required that is not an overstatement. You will want to make sure you have everything you need before you head to the house because getting into town is not a small feat. But if you come prepared it really is a once in a life time experience, you will be serenaded by howler monkeys and other wildlife.

Casa Santa Maria was the quiet escape that we needed. The pictures do not do it justice. Its a beautiful cabin, tastefully decorated and nestled quite perfectly into the jungle landscape. Although our vacation got off to a rocky start, Millie made every care disappear. She took such great care of us - helping us plan and reserve activities, preparing delicious meals, helping with delivery of our lost luggage and washing our clothes so that we were clean. Jim was also the most gracious host. He made sure we had everything we needed and then some. I would highly recommend Casa Santa Maria to friends and look forward to returning in a couple of years.
