January 15-19
As a group of us travel each year to a different location, January 15-19 we boarded a flight and shared our time in Costa Rica and Casa Cristal. I broke the review down as follows:
• Communication: From the very first moment that we inquired about the house through our stay in Costa Rica, Zeida was extremely responsive. She uncomplainingly answered all inquiries and even provided suggestions regarding excursions.
• Driver: Abner was absolutely THE best. With a group of 11, he was extremely patient, knowledgeable, kind, and most importantly, friendly. His demeanor made us feel very welcomed. Abner ensured a safe journey to the beach, rainforest, and back.
• Chef: Unfortunately, I did not get her name. She cooked up two amazing meals. This is worth the add- on!
• House: The location of the house was definitely breathtaking. Especially, in the morning when the sun rises. The structure of the home was very accommodating and spacious for our large group. The only negative from our group is the cleanliness of the house. Upon arrival, we planned to have a bbq as it states there is a grill. However, the grill was dirty and extremely small, similar to a tabletop grill. Also, parts of the house lacked TLC and there was a mildew smell upon walking in the main entrance where the fountain was located. While the housekeeper is on duty daily, she is one single person and with a house of that size, I’d suggest a cleaning team.
Overall, our stay in Costa Rica was nothing short of decent. We would recommend Casa Cristal, Abner (as the driver), and the chef! Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Best experience ever.
This was our 7th. visit to CR and by far the best housing experience.

Perfect for Multiple Couples
I cannot say enough good things about this property or the ease in working with Zeida!
From the beginning, Zeida patiently answered all of my / our questions. After arriving, she continued to be available when we requested chef services (I highly recommend a night or two of their deliciously prepared cuisine!) or to ask for recommendations.
We were greeted warmly by the housekeeper, who showed us the house and allowed us to selected our rooms. She arrived each day around 8AM and completed her tasks in an unobtrusive manner if we were still in the house. Each day, after a round of golf or an excursion, we returned home to a clean house, fresh linens, beds made and dishes washed. We were all happy to leave her a little something extra for her exceptional service.
Our transportation was provided by Abner and Marvin. While there is a daily rate, our needs [golf] did not require a full day's service. I appreciated Abner's honesty in explaining that he would charge us "transfers" instead of needing to hire him for the entire day. He speaks English and is worth his weight in gold for the service he provides, which was always prompt and courteous.
The house itself is lovely and sprawling, with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space when needed. When our dinners were chef prepared, the larger banquet kitchen was perfect to seat all of us. I think we were in the hot tub every day and in the pool several times (after asking the temperature to be turned down a bit). When it comes to the views, especially the sunrise, all I can say is ...wow! Sitting on the balcony with a cup of coffee is the perfect way to start the day.
If we are ever back in Costa Rica, and in need of numerous rooms, we will not hesitate to stay at Casa Cristal. Zeida and her staff have hospitality down to an art form!

Thank you for everything! We really enjoyed our stay! You have an amazing home and the pictures didn't do it justice like you said!

Great location
This is the 2nd time I've stayed here and it was great. The View and size of the location is perfect. The accommodations what great and everything was on point. My only reservation was that the location was a little unclean at first. But that may have been due to us checking in early prior to the cleaner finishing up. Probably needs some minor updating as some of the areas are dated. But overall it was a great experience again.

PERFECTION!!!!!!
My friends and I started planning our October stay in February. In the meantime Zeida answered so many of our questions. She was extremely helpful in all aspects of planning this trip. We gave her a list of activities we were planning and she put us in touch with all of the right people to make the booking of excursions extremely smooth. All of the people she recommend went above and beyond our expectations. Our driver Abner and his associates were amazing as well. They took great care of us and took us to a few recommended bars for additional fun. The chefs in the house were amazing!!!!! Every meal we had was delicious. The option to have the chefs made everything so convenient for our large party. The housekeeper came daily and made sure everything was neat and clean for us everyday. The home itself is even more immaculate in person!!! Overall, Zeida and her crew were absolutely amazing!!!! When I go back to Costa Rica, I will definitely be staying here again. I recommend Casa Cristal to anyone!!!!

The best property I've ever rented!
If you are traveling to San Jose, staying at Casa Cristal is a must! The house is amazing. If you thought the pictures were great, just wait until you see it in real life. I was on a trip with 16 other people and there was still so much space; it was perfect. The owners provide daily cleaning of the property which is rare for a rental; you normally only get that kind of service in a hotel. But aside from being a great place to sleep, our host Zeida was PHENOMENAL! She was so patient when I had tons of questions for her, even speaking to me over the phone at one point. No matter how many times I contacted her with a question, she was very helpful and always responded quickly. Even while I was on vacation, I reached out to her for assistance and she was there for me. She even arranged our transportation for the weekend and a personal chef to cook breakfast. Zeida is the real reason to rent this place. She is a dream and one of the reasons my trip to Costa Ria went so well. I would definitely stay here again!

San Jose panaromic views with outstanding service
House is a gigantic, hillside mansion with 9 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, lots of balconies, pool, and hot tub. One feels like a rap mogul snaking around this expansive square footage.
Victor and Abner delivered top notch service. Unparalleled.
We were a bachelor party and we had no problems.

Amazing, Relaxing, Safe Enjoyable!
Stayed at Casa Cristal Apr 6-9 for a bachelor party with a group of 14. Plenty of space with for everyone. We spent most of our time in pool and jacuzzi which were both heated , clean and relaxing. Zeida and Victor were very accommodating to our every need. The House was clean and the chefs prepared an amazing dinner. Our driver Abner was very patient and didn’t rush us at all. He knew all the great places to hang out and kept us safe. Thanks again Zeida, Victor and Abner for making our stay fun, enjoyable and relaxing. We will see you again for sure!! Simply AMAZING!!!

PERFECT!
There are not enough stars to give Casa Cristal – 5 stars does not do it justice!! I stayed with a group of 10 for a bachelor party weekend. Zeida and Victor were world class hosts and were available to answer any questions we had. The views from the house are EPIC! We booked the chefs for one night and the food was AMAZING! Zeida helped us book transport for in town and out of town trips. I can’t say enough good things about this place!

Exceeded expectations
Zeida was an awesome host. She accommodated us for everything we needed and she made sure we made the most of the stay. I would reccommend getting the chefs as the food they prepared was fresh and delicious. The house was absolutely stunning and is a lot bigger than expected with an amazing view of the city at night. Overall I strongly reccommend the house for anyone planning on visiting Costa Rica

Casa Cristal is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
Me and my buddies stayed in this Mansion for 3 nights and we absolutely loved it. Pictures do not do any justice and the hospitality from Victor and Zeida was amazing. They really know their job very well. They arranged for our transportation during our stay , starting from picking up from Airport and dropping us back. Our drive Abner was very friendly, spoke good English, understood our needs very well and delivered. The property was clean with stunning views. I would recommend this property to others.. And, yes given a chance I will go back again and again.. Thank you Zeida, Victor and Abner for making our trip memorable.

Absolutely amazing! Pictures don't do it justice.
I loooved the property. It's absolutely beautiful and the pics do it no justice. The dining and living room area by the pool was everybody's favorite place to hang out and take pictures. It's beautiful!! I stayed there with 26 other people for 4 nights and had nothing but positive feedback from everyone. Zeida and Victor were very accommodating and fixed any issues quickly and went above and beyond for us. We also arranged for transportation through Zeida and it made our trip so much better. We had an AMAZING driver by the name of Oscar who everyone loved and fought to be in his van. He recommended restaurants and local spots for our down time and he was so sweet and accommodating. He's definitely an asset to Zeida's team. Thank you Zeida, Victor and of course Oscar for making our trip amazing!

Costa Rica Casa Cristal Luxury Home Scores Big Points!
The folks who said, "...you only get one chance to make a good first impression" definitely had Casa Cristal in mind when it comes to vacation homes in Costa Rica. The house was immaculate! Every detail of the home displayed on the listing was spot on. It was very spacious, modern, well kept and clean. If any questions arouse during our stay the owners went above and beyond and responded within minutes not hours. My friends and I typically travel to a different country each year for our annual vacation and it was unanimous that Casa Cristal was the best value of all our trips hands down. Awesome job Victor and Zeida!

Casa Cristal is amazing!
Where do I start??
First off the pictures honestly don't do enough justice as to how beautiful and large Casa Cristal really is! The views are one of a kind and the place is just simply amazing! From the large jacuzzi to the heated pool with the breathtaking view, you really can't ask for more!
I recently stood at Casa Cristal the first week of June for my brother's bachelor party and couldn't have selected a better casa to stay in Costa Rica. Zeida and Victor were amazing and helped me so much from the start to the end with everything from tours to transportation.(Highly highly recommend using the transportation Zeida referred over Uber any day!) Between the driver(David) and Casa Cristal(Zeida & Victor), they truly made our trip that much for enjoyable.
Thank you very much Zeida and Victor for making us feel as if we were in our own home! I will definitely be returning in the near future! :)

Kings in a Kingdom
We decided to take our annual guys trip to Costa Rica this year ended up staying in Casa Cristal Mansion. This place is huge, calm and relaxing. It was located in a nice secluded area. However, it was still in the vicinity of any store or major highway. The staff was excellent and the owners were friendly and accommodating from our arrival to our departure. They even took the liberty of getting us in touch with a personal chef that prepared dinner every night during our stay. Although it only turned out to be 4 of us this year instead of the usual 8 people. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone traveling to Costa Rica looking for a nice relaxful place to stay. Shoot one of my guys said it the best, "Only if we could pick this villa up and take it everywhere with us for our annual trip!"
