Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to visit Casa Kaiki to experience the famous turtle nesting?

We highly recommend visiting between October and March to witness the incredible leatherback sea turtle nesting in Parque Nacional Marino Las Baulas. The guesthouse provides a perfect, tranquil base for these nocturnal excursions, and the dry season weather is generally delightful for exploring the surrounding beaches and mangroves during the day.

What kind of atmosphere and amenities can we expect from a stay at Casa Kaiki?

Casa Kaiki offers a wonderfully intimate and personalized guesthouse experience, far removed from large resorts. We love its relaxed, home-away-from-home feel, where the owners often share local insights, and the communal areas encourage friendly interaction with other guests. Expect comfortable, well-appointed rooms and a focus on tranquility rather than extensive resort facilities.

Beyond the turtle tours, what other unique activities or excursions do you recommend from Casa Kaiki?

While the turtles are a highlight, we suggest exploring the nearby estuary by kayak or paddleboard, where you might spot monkeys and a variety of birds. We also love the surfing lessons available at Playa Grande, just a short walk away, or simply unwinding on the pristine, uncrowded beaches right outside your door.

How accessible is Casa Kaiki, and do we need a rental car to explore the area?

Casa Kaiki is quite accessible, typically a 1.5-2 hour drive from Liberia International Airport (LIR), which we recommend for convenience. While you can arrange transfers, we find that having a rental car, preferably a 4x4 during the rainy season, offers the most flexibility to explore the charming local towns and hidden beaches at your own pace.

What is the typical cost range for a stay at Casa Kaiki, and do you consider it good value?

We find Casa Kaiki offers excellent value, typically ranging from $150-250 per night, depending on the season and room type. Considering its prime location near the national park, the personalized service, and the peaceful ambiance, we believe it's a worthwhile investment for an authentic and comfortable Costa Rican experience.
