Casa Banka - A Serene Escape in Tamarindo
Nestled in the hills of Tamarindo, Casa Banka is an incredible retreat with breathtaking views from every room. Mornings begin with a refreshing plunge in the pool and coffee overlooking nature’s beauty. The home is bathed in natural light, offering a seamless blend of comfort and scenery.Set in a luxurious and inviting neighborhood, the location offers both tranquility and convenience. A short walk leads to the beach, a well-stocked local market, and fantastic restaurants. Be sure to visit the Chop House—one of Andrea’s recommendations—where the empanadas were simply amazing!Our concierge, Andrea, made our stay effortless—arranging transportation, recommending great experiences, and ensuring we had everything we needed. She organized an unforgettable day trip to Buena Vista, where our guide, Miguel, shared Costa Rican culture and wildlife, pointing out monkeys, toucans, and lush native trees. She also connected us with Sandra, a private chef whose meals were off the charts—not to mention, she was a delight to have around!Sandra, the house manager, checked in regularly, ensuring we were comfortable. Roxanne, the housekeeper, visited every other day to tidy up and refresh our laundry, making our stay even more relaxing. Like so many in Costa Rica, they were incredibly friendly and welcoming.Casa Banka isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience. A beautiful escape that photos can’t grasp—an album in the mind!
