Casa Mambo is an awesome place!!

Me and two buddies rented out Casa Mambo for two weeks and had a blast! The house was excellent and the maids were great too. We had air conditioning in each room which was just another great perk of this place! Would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for close proximity to the beach and world class surf. The waves are great all summer with off shore winds in the morning and barrels up and down the beach. The store is right next to the house and the food at both Restaurants (Los Malinches and The Great Wallitinis) is awesome. We can't wait to go back again next summer
Owner's Response: Glad to know you guys had such and incredible time and thanks for the great review. Just let me know when you are ready to come back down! Pura Vida, Hank

Wow! Casa Mambo was absolutely perfect for us! We 3 ladies from Texas thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay. The property is very clean and well maintained and is within a gated community. We never felt uncomfortable about walking anywhere. The casa is absolutely beautiful and the amenities were wonderful! Everything we needed was close at hand. We spent each morning on the lovely covered patio drinking our coffee and watching the iguanas take their morning stroll. The beautiful beach is an easy walk as are great places to eat and enjoy the scenery and/or your favorite tropical drink. Bulla Bulla, a local restaurant and bar was quite lively every evening and there are few other smaller eating establishments also available. There is also a water taxi within walking distance and for a small fee will take you across the river to the small town for shopping. The property manager was also a great help to us in finding the right tours for us and for making arrangements for transportation to and from the airport
Thanks, Hank, for sharing your beautiful casa with us!

What a great place! This casa was just what we, three retired educators, needed to have fun, relax,and tour CR. From the fully equipped kitchen to the relaxing patio, we found this house to have everything we needed for our week stay. We enjoyed the closeness to Tamarinwodo for shopping and the ability to return to the quiet way of life that Casa Mambo provided. If we return to the country, we will certainly stay here again!
Owner's Response: Thank you for the wonderful review.Glad to know that you had such a great time. We hope to have you stay with us again sometime soon. Hank

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Casa Mambo! We snuck in a pre-Christmas trip and it was perfect for our family 4. Close to the beach, the kids loved the pool in the afternoon. It was quiet, peaceful and we can't wait to get back!
We rented boards at Frijoles, my kids learned to surf in the warm water, I did yoga at Rip Jack, we saw a leather back turtle laying her eggs. I did not want to come home!
Thanks to Hank and Alyssa for everything!

The reviews on all the sites can't be this place. I was conned into staying when Hank kept saying just read my reviews many from Texans. Don;t stay unless you see clear pictures. No dishwasher, hair dryer, pot covers, bent pans ready for scrap, plastic glasses, toilet that won't handle toilet paper, no beach chairs , 10 feet from neighbors. holes in blankets, platform couches with three inch cushions . From the other reviews I though it was quality property, but this is much like a motel 8. Hank "I don't have any clearer pics at the moment. Please read our reviews if you are doubtful in anyway. It is a beautiful, clean, and comfortable house. ". It is nicely laid out but and with some care and decent quality furnishing it would be very nice. Can't wait to come back more likely can't wait to leave. Also I noticed many positive reviews from owners immediate area?. Housekeeper, and Alyssa the property manager are very nice and helpful. I was sold by the reviews what a mistake. Hanks response "I'm sorry you feel the way you do about Casa Mambo. Again, you are the first to complain about it. Based on your response, has been no misrepresentation of the property description, it's location, or its amenities. You are certainly welcome to depart early however, no form of refund will be offered. A full refund of your security deposit will be given upon departure assuming the property is left in good condition. "
On a positive note the beaches are great plenty of towels. Having great time.

Owner's Response: FRAUDULENT REVIEW. Please take the time to read all of our reviews and see that there has never been a negative review on Casa Mambo prior to this unfortunate and obviously fraudulent review. My family and I have worked very hard to make and keep this a beautiful, lovely get away as described by all of the rest of the reviews. I can only say that I am working to have this post removed and hope that you will take the time to read all of the rest of our reviews. Sincerely, Hank

Wow. What a great place. We were thinking of going to Mexico, but after hearing of the travel warnings, we looked into Costa Rica, since many of our friends have been lately and loved it. We were looking for a place to totally relax, away from the hustle and bustle and we found it! From the minute we arrived, we were in true vacation mode. The house is great (very clean and lots of natural light) and had everything we needed. We felt like we were at home. Each morning we ate at the market near your place on our way to the beach (which is a really short walk), rented surfboards/boogie boards from Jerry (so nice!) and then to the beach. The beach, shells and waves were fantastic. We saw lots of monkeys, iguanas and some really cool birds. The kids loved hanging out at the swimming pool in the evening (which was literally a few steps from the patio), and walking to Hotel Bula Bula for some of the tasty (and STRONG) Waltinis. Everyone is so nice around there and made us feel so welcome. Love all of the teak wood throughout the house. You guys did a great job on the place. We can't wait to visit again. Thank you so much for making the rental process so easy too!!! We highly recommend to others!
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for the excellent review. Glad you had such a wonderful time in Casa Mambo and we welcome you back anytime! Our house is your house. Hank

We had grand plans of taking day trips outside of Playa Grande but once we got to Casa Mambo we didn't want to leave. Partly because it is much harder to get around then we expected but more so because after only a few hours we knew there was no need to go anywhere. We loved meeting the other families staying in the nearby homes and since we all had children the pool became a social gathering and made sone great new friends from all over the world. Alyssa is available to help plan anything you may need or answer any questions. There is a great little grocery store just a few steps away along with two restaurants. More restaurants are only a short drive away. Rip Jack Inn has outdoor yoga. That became a daily must for me and if you want you can walk there from the beach about a 20 minute walk. They also have a delicious all day menu. I wish I was back there now.
Owner's Response: Thanks so much for the wonderful review. Glad to know you had such a great time in Casa Mambo and in Playa Grande. We look forward to having you back again soon. Hank

Great property - just what we needed. This was a trip wtih my 13 year old daughter - the house had everything we needed. With the beach so close, the pool at the property, little market and a couple of restaurans nearby, we could have never left Playa Grande at all - but it was really easy to go visit some of the other nearby beaches as well, so we did! I'd love to come again for a longer visit with our other kids!

We stayed at Casa Mambo for 7 days and never wanted to leave. We are already trying to figure out a way to get back there soon! It was like we were in our own home. We had everything we needed made available to us. There were wonderful places nearby to eat, drink and relax. The beach was within perfect walking distance and there was a small grocery around the corner for basic needs. Alyssa the property manager was amazing and so very helpful with anything and everything we needed. She went above and beyond our expectations when we needed her help! Thanks again Hank, will be back as quickly as we can make it! Pura Vida:-)

We are just wrapping up a 15 day stay at Casa Mambo. Being teachers, we needed a "Chill Out" location and did Casa Mambo fill the bill! June weather was wonderful. The rains came but they cooled things down, lasted a while, not all the time. The temp was great as well, just right.
The Casa has everything one would need, is safe, clean, functional, in a cluster of six similar structures around a pool. The plantings are lush and lovely. The area of Palm Beach Estates where Casa Mambo is a neighborhood of beautiful yards and houses and it is a short pleasant walk to the beach. at Playa Grande the water is 80' f , perfect.
We rented a vehicle for part of our stay and visited beaches and communities from Playa Panama to the north down to Playa Samara to the south. We believe our decision to stay at Casa Mambo and Playa Grande was perfect.
June is quiet here. For most of our stay we have been the only guests in 6 house property that CM is part of. That meant we had our own pool.
The availability of groceries, and a few good eateries within a one block distance was an added bonus.
There was just the two and we didn't go off on a mad dash to zip line, bungie-jump, crowd the dance floor, white-water rafting cram it all in to a few days.. we re-cooperated, explored, read, swam, snorkeled, napped, floated in the pool... now we are off for a week to Lake Arenal.
WE highly recommend Casa Mambo and salute the owners for picking Alyssia as porperty manager. She is a helpful and bright young ex-pat from the states that was and friendly but not effusive.
Pura Vida
