Latica Lodge

Absolutely — here’s a warm, natural Airbnb review: We had a wonderful stay in Costa Rica! The house is surrounded by a beautiful garden that made the whole property feel peaceful and tropical. Our kids especially loved all the toys, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the stay even more enjoyable for our family. Ivan, the manager, was incredibly kind and helpful, and Julie was always responsive to all of our questions. We really appreciated how easy and comfortable everything was. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily come back. Highly recommend!

Thanks for hosting Julie, we had a blast in your beautiful home!

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Julie and Ivan ensured we had all that we required. The place is exactly as portrayed. Cozy beds, chilly air conditioning, and a fully equipped BBQ along with kitchen utensils were all provided. The house is elegantly decorated, and the pool area gives off a vibe of being in the heart of the jungle. We even had a few monkeys come by to see us, which was amazing. We will certainly think about returning when we are back in the vicinity.

Julie was a very responsive and helpful host! she shared some fun things happening in the area which really made our stay fun. Location is a 30min walk from the beach, so we always drove (the beach is lovely!!). Also surprisingly great restaurants in the area for such a sleepy town. We loved our stay!

What can I say ? Julie’s home is amazing! Gorgeous and pristine interior , rustic and stunning exterior with a beautiful pool and incredible bbq and tables for outdoor and indoor dining . We were greeted by Blanca the housekeeper who left us a bowl of fresh fruit . Casa Nico has stunning trees with wild life including a family of howler monkeys and beautiful birds. We had a few friendly visitors including the neighborhood dog, Pablito who we fell in love with . Ivan the landscaper was by daily to do a quick cleanup of the yard and pool . He was extremely friendly and kind . If you are looking for a home away from home with air con , comfortable beds and a spotless home look no further than here . 5 minutes from a stunning beach and restaurants . To top it off Julie was so kind to keep us informed of a turtle release at the local hatchery . Without her updating us we never would have had this experience . I can’t say enough great things about Casa Nico ! We will book again !

We had an amazing stay in Los Pargos and would absolutely come back. Julie was extremely responsive and proactive, sharing thoughtful local recommendations and making us feel welcome right away. Ivan, the groundskeeper, was equally wonderful: friendly, attentive, and on site every day to rake leaves, take out the trash, and keep the pool clean and inviting. The daily howler monkeys in the trees right in the yard were a highlight for our whole group. The house looked exactly like the pictures, was comfortable, and fit our group of 6 perfectly with plenty of space to relax. The pool was a true respite from the heat and quickly became our favorite place to unwind. We also felt very safe with exterior security cameras, Ivan around often to check on the property, and the fact that it shares the property with LaTica Lodge so there were usually staff nearby. Location is ideal too: about a 5-minute drive to Playa Negra and around 3 minutes to several great restaurants. Highly recommend.

The place is very nice, several beaches very close. The people who attended to us were very friendly, the hosts too. Well-equipped kitchen, shower with hot water, the children enjoyed the pool a lot. Thank you very much!

We had the opportunity to stay at Casa Nico for a week with a group of 7 adults. The number of beds suited our needs and the beds were really comfy. The place is beautiful inside and outside. The kitchen included all the things we needed to cook our meal (you will need to purchase your own cooking oil and additional spices however). The check in and out process was easy. Our only issue was we couldn’t get the front gate to lock during our stay but we still felt very safe with only the interior door locking. The location is nice and peaceful and we saw howler monkeys, very friendly local dogs and cats and a few lizards. Close proximity to a few restaurants, the beach and even next door is trapeze lessons if you feel adventurous. We did end up doing trapeze next door and it was a highly recommended experience. Julie was great at communicating and the property manager Ivan was super friendly! I would highly recommend Casa Nico for a place to stay!

An excellent place if you're looking to disconnect from the city and relax.
