We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Papita! Beautiful house, has literally everything you could need (so thankful for beach chairs!) and a walking distance to the beach (2 access points) and several restaurants. Can't wait to come back!
Wonderful experience and fantastic owners/hosts. I was given bread baked Swiss bread that was absolutely amazing. Room was huge, well-outfitted and the outdoor kitchen was superb. I would love to go back and visit with the owners more.
Casa Papito is an elegant, lovely, spacious place to stay. I shared a room with my friend and the room was so spacious that we did not step on each other’s toes. Absolutely loved the balcony and outdoor kitchen! Gorgeous salt water pool, and very friendly helpful owners. We made the short walk to the beach daily and could easily get to the restaurants, with the pleasure of coming back to a quiet room for deep restful sleep.
Charlotte and Daniel are very welcoming and accommodating and very genuine people. Beautiful home with a very spacious outside patio/kitchen area w a hammock and dining table. Great location, minutes from Brasilito beach and playa Conchal! Forketta down the road is also a very decent Italian restaurant. Would definitely stay again!! And again!!
Daniel and Charlotte were kind and welcoming. The property is beautiful and the attention to details were amazing. We only had one night in Potrero and we would have loved to stay longer. We walked to The Shack for a delicious dinner and a talented live band. 10 out of 10. Thank you.
We had a lovely 1 night stay. The staff, our hosts are just lovely. Great suggestions for dinner, breakfast, and places to visit. Just a quick note. When your GPS tells you to take Monkey Trail road. Take it. We did not, and drove a couple more hours than necessary. That was our fault for not trusting the technology
the property was very clean, comfortable and well ordered, and the owners/managers were warm and responsive. The one hassle was that it was not made at all clear in Expedia’s description that one had to pay cash..no credit cards, Venmo. Getting the payments resolved was time consuming.
The hosts were amazing people, ensuring every aspect of our stay was excellent. The property was very unique, extremely well-built, and beautiful. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.
the owners are amazing and the place is so cute and peaceful. the outdoor patio and kitchen is a great area to relax on the hammock cook breakfast and listen/watch the birds and monkeys.
Casa Papito is the perfect stay to visit Playa Potreto. The space is super comfortable, clean and spacious. The owners are really friendly and welcoming. Will visit again!
Daniel and Charlotte were such wonderful hosts! I had a lovely stay at Casa Papito. The house is beautiful and the garden is lush. I especially enjoyed the heated salt water pool, my enormous private terrace, and outdoor kitchen.
First and foremost, the hosts were very warm and friendly from the beginning. This positively affected our entire stay throughout. The property itself is very well taken care of and extremely beautifully and uniquely built. They have done a great job with the design of the two rental areas on the top floor as well as the entire grounds--including a gorgeous pool. I feel like I need to mention again how wonderfully friendly and positive our experience was with the hosts.
