We find Casa Mariana offers a wonderfully tranquil escape, feeling more like a welcoming home than a typical lodge. The hosts are incredibly gracious, and we love the personal touches, from the freshly brewed Costa Rican coffee each morning to their insightful local recommendations.

What kind of wildlife can we realistically hope to see when staying at Casa Mariana, given its proximity to an urban park?

While it's an urban park, we've been delighted by the surprising biodiversity; expect to spot various bird species like toucans and hummingbirds right from Casa Mariana's garden. Inside Parque Natural Urbano Lorne Ross, we often encounter sloths and capuchin monkeys, especially on the quieter trails.

Casa Mariana typically offers a delicious, authentic Costa Rican breakfast, which we always look forward to.
