I appreciated our time at Casa Esmeralda. Very nice and comfortable vacation home. The king beds were an added bonus. I have been to Costa Rica at least 20 times and to find king beds that are comfortable with nice cool rooms, was such a wonderful benefit. Very convenient and close to La Fortuna. I would definitely recommend for a family or six adults for a vacation. The shared pool was also very enjoyable. The host answered any questions I had very quickly and was a pleasure.
