Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to stay at Casa Susan and explore Refugio de Vida Silvestre Romelia?

We find the dry season, from December to April, offers the most comfortable conditions for exploring the refuge and enjoying Casa Susan's surroundings. The trails are less muddy, and wildlife viewing, especially for nesting sea turtles, is often at its peak.

What kind of experience can we expect at Casa Susan, given it's a guesthouse near a wildlife refuge?

Casa Susan offers a wonderfully intimate and authentic stay, feeling more like a home away from home than a typical lodge. We love its proximity to Romelia, allowing for early morning birdwatching right from the property and easy access to the refuge's conservation efforts.

What specific wildlife can we hope to encounter when staying at Casa Susan and visiting Refugio de Vida Silvestre Romelia?

Beyond the incredible sea turtles that nest on Romelia's beaches, we've frequently spotted howler monkeys, sloths, and a vibrant array of tropical birds right around Casa Susan. The nocturnal walks within the refuge are particularly rewarding for spotting amphibians and insects.

How does the cost of staying at Casa Susan compare to other options in the Nicoya Peninsula, and what value does it offer?

Casa Susan provides exceptional value, often being more budget-friendly than larger, more resort-style accommodations in the region, without sacrificing comfort or charm. We appreciate that the focus is on a genuine, immersive experience rather than opulent extras, making it perfect for independent travelers.

Is Casa Susan easily accessible, and what should we know about safety or local transportation in the area?

Accessing Casa Susan typically involves a drive on unpaved roads, so we recommend a 4x4 vehicle, especially during the rainy season. The area around Refugio Romelia is very safe, and the local community is welcoming, though we always advise standard travel precautions.
