This was a vacation for me and my 2 teenage boys. The house was perfectly located for volcano hikes, zip-lining and white water rafting. Maria and Tom were fantastic at making us feel right at home. They helped us with reservations and recommendations for restaurants. They made the trip that much more enjoyable. The house was exactly what we were looking and it was great to have the pool all to ourselves. Definitely recommend!
What a wonderful location. Very clean and the view from the front of the house is amazing. Thomas and Maria are super friendly and very helpful.
This an incredible property with a great host. If you are visiting the Lake Arenal area, I would advise you to stay here at Tom\'s place. We stayed in the house at the very top of the property. The views of the lake were truly amazing.
We stayed at Casa Primera with our family of five for 3 nights during our visit to Lake Arenal. First impression; the grounds of the property are BREATHTAKING. A steep, narrow road is lined with perfectly manicured plants and flowers and trees. Casa Primera itself is stunningly set amongst a picturesque paradise with a stream and a waterfall behind the house. The house is emaculately clean with all of the amenities you could need- including a howler monkey wake up call on occasion! Each of the 3 bedrooms has its own spacious bathroom. We had plenty of space and every comfort of home. Maria is a wonderful hostess, providing us with very good local information and assisting us with coordinating activities and tours. She was an absolute delight to be around and we appreciated her expertise of the area and care she puts into Casa Primera.
Beautiful home with personality and good vibes
