| This place is WONDERFUL-all the comforts of home and all the surroundings of paradise! Close to the gorgeous beaches of the Pacific, La Carolina is private and safe (there is a security guard living next door). In fact, Pedro was more than a security guard, he helped us feel at home during our stay, checked in on us and made sure the lights were always on when we came home after dark. If you are going to stay on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, you have to stay here-it's a perfect resting place between the many adventures you will have in this beautiful country! |

| Stayed at La Carolina and loved every minute of it. Most of the time we had the whole place to our selves, the pool and the patio are so private we really felt the "Pura Vida". The pool area is great, we spent much of our time there, the underwater bar stools and the outdoor shower is awesome. The condo is so close to the pool we never went without a cold beverage. Its a good idea to rent a car because there are so many fun destinations within a short drive. If you get a chance go for a sail boat ride on the lazy lizard which is out of Flamingo. Our favorite beach is Conchal which is super close to the La Carolina. For the price this is such a great choice for anyone going to Costa Rica. |

We spent a short week at La Carolina in March of '09 and enjoyed it immensely. The condo is brand new, nicely furnished and the two bedrooms and two baths was a perfect fit for my wife and I and our friend Sarah. The location off the main road and a ten minute walk to the beach felt secluded but not isolated.
For a few nights cooking in the modern kitchen and on the gas grill by the pool was a welcome change from all the restaurants we'd gone to while staying in hotels. We also manage to find a couple of favorite eateries down the road. Skip the Happy Snapper (aka tourist trapper...), but don't miss Cecile's French Bakery (a block west of Carolina at the main road) and El Mordizco typical Soda on the road as you come into town from the south. Any of the many local spots on Brasilito beach are great for fresh fish, burgers, pizza or other casual food as well.
If you want upscale dining or bars it's easy ten minute drives to the resorts at Flamingo and Conchal (opposite directions) and there are dozens of other beaches to explore within half an hour if you want to wander.
All and all a great time and easily recommended! |

After traveling around Costa Rica for nearly a month, we spent the last five days of our trip in the Brasilito area at La Carolina Condos.
This area was a great base for many different activities. We could surf at Playa Grande which was only a fifteen minute drive, relax on the beach at Playa Conchal or Playa Flamingo, charter a surf boat to Witches Rock, go party in Tamarindo or Potrero. There are also many excellent restaurants in the area and plenty to do and see.
The condos were with out a doubt the nicest place we stayed on our trip. Being fully furnished and newly built give them a comfortable and welcoming feel that many places in Costa Rica lack and with features like actual hot water showers, AC that works, secure parking and the wonderful pool and outdoor lounge area you would be hard pressed to find anything wrong with the offerings of the La Carolina Condos. We would recommend both the condos and the area to anyone going to Costa Rica.
