This place was unbelievable!!! By far the best place we stayed. Private access, amazing home cooked food and the view!!! Couldn't ask for much more. Big thanks to David and his family for making it so special.

This place is stunningly beautiful and the hospitality was even better! David was an incredible host and his father is an amazing cook. We could not have picked a better location to stop for our honeymoon.

Beautiful property. The views from the room we’re absolutely stunning.

This place is awesome. The owners live in a house on the property, and have only this one tented unit for guests. If this is a tent, it's the nicest glamping tent in Costa Rica!! The way the unit is situated, you feel alone with a private stunning view into the ancient, forested volcano and lake. It's a 180+ degree view and a great facility. Though you are only 50 yards from the owners home, you feel like you are alone in the rain forest. The room itself is beautiful. Big windows facing into the cone of the volcano, with the lake far below you. The bed and furnishings are very comfortable. The decor of the bathroom, shower and the rest of the unit is one-of-a-kind. You have full use of a really special covered jacuzzi. We enjoyed using the tub in the rain. Father and son, Carlos and David, run the operation. Super friendly and outgoing. David served a delicious full breakfast each morning to us, at our requested time, right on our outdoor deck overlooking the lake. Carlos prepares all meals. Upon request (at an added fair price) he will prepare a special dinner of your choice for you, which is served in a dining room tower-room by candlelight. We stayed here for 3 nights and could have stayed 3 more. There are various sights of interest in the area to occupy your free time during the day. Or just sit with music and a book and enjoy your view. This is a solid 10.

Just be mindful that there isn’t air conditioning so it can be a little humid

SO ROMANTIC. My fiancé and I needed a little alone time and this was the perfect environment for that. It’s secluded with a gorgeous view but also close enough to go to some local restaurants. The host brought the most beautiful breakfast and offered to make dinner (for a small fee) hosted in a beautiful secluded tower on property. I can’t say enough positive things about this magical place and it’s lovely hosts. I feel blessed to have stayed there.

There is nothing wrong with the property, but the road to this place is rough and filled with rocks, it took us over 20 minutes to get there. Perhaps it's due to the weather (it rains a lot). Be prepared for the drive. No cellphone signals, bring a book or download videos for your stay.

The view is amazing! The interior design is classic! The host is super friendly! This is the best place and property we ever stayed in recent years.

It is hard to put into words how amazing our experience was at Casa Maaar. My husband and I chose this as our first stop on our honeymoon and we could not have imagined how perfect our stay would be. Casa Maar was the most perfect introduction to our pura vida honeymoon. The property is stunning and photos do not do justice for the view and the detail throughout the room and facilities. David and his father are phenomenal hosts that went way above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for our stay. They have hand crafted the suite themselves, taking care of every single detail. Not only are they talented, but they are extremely welcoming; we very much enjoyed the romantic dinners for two in the tower and delicious breakfasts on our balcony each morning. Casa Maar is located in a secluded area, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the usual tourist stops. It is the perfect place to escape and enjoy. This is by far the best place we have ever stayed and we wish to come back again some day!

Amazing view, lovely tented camp with very delicate decoration, they put their heart in every detail. The bed and pillows amazing and the included breakfast was delicious. Also the staff very helpful. I loved the experience, totally worth it if you’re looking to disconnect for a while.

This a very special and beautiful stay. The view, the environment and the wonderful service and food provided by David and his family will make this an unforgettable and wonderful experience. It’s simply exceptional! The little doggy is worthy of a mention as well. Put him upside down, tickle his belly and watch him fall asleep in a few seconds.

The best place we have ever stayed, we will remember waking up to that view forever! David and his father were so kind and accommodating, they even drove us to see the local sights and we had a great time getting to know them. The food was also exceptional, David’s father is an amazing cook. We couldn’t recommend it more, an amazing place to experience the wonderful nature of Costa Rica.

Google maps tried to map us there from the north but the road doesn't go through. Make sure to come in from the south!

This property could not be more beautiful. Inside every detail was considered and well appointed. It was luxurious! And the view was exactly what the pictures show. The food was fantastic and the hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. This was probably the nicest place I've ever stayed in decades of world travel.

Nada.

We were fortunate enough to start our trip out here. Perfect place to catch up on sleep, unwind and have everything we needed at our fingertips. The closest market is 20 minutes away- we grabbed some beverages and necessities on our way in so we wouldn't need to leave once we got here. The bedroom feels like you are living in a terrarium, you never get bored watching and listening to the wildlife and abundance of birds. David, our host was great. We got to see some upcoming projects he has in mind, now we need to come back for an update on the property! Food was so good, both breakfast and dinner. They serve you dinner in your own lookout tower, pretty magical. Tao the teddy bear dog is just the cutest! Give him a squeeze for us ❤️

We have been to many amazing hotels in Costa Rica, for example, Tabacon, but this apartment is simply incredible. It is very hard to top Casa Maar. The views are breathtaking and waking up to the various animals from the jungle is amazing. If you are looking for something exceptional, this is a definitely the right decision

Stayed in February 2023

Casa Maar was a beautiful property full of incredible views and vegetation. David took great care of us and the breakfast was a particular highlight looking out on the lagoon. Like most places we went in Costa Rica, you really need to make sure you rent a 4X4 SUV.

The view is simply amazing, waking up and looking down to the lake from your bed. The hosts of this family owned business are super lovely and you feel very welcomed.

The road to get to the place is not in the best state, you can drive your 2WD vehicle without further issues, but slowly.

The room is great with a breath taking view you won't find in a lot of hotels around the place. The setup of the room was inmersive and it felt like luxury camping somehow. David was an excellent host, he was always kind and willing to assist us whenever we needed. The food was great also. The jacuzzi has a stunning view to the Laguna Hule as well. You can also have breakfast in your room while admiring the view. You can kayak or paddleboard on the lake with a guided tour. And it's close to other tourist locations around Poas volcano. A place worth paying a visit to. The tourism activity around the community is quite new, so I really recommend visiting Casa maar or nearby lodgings to support and help tourism growth there.

The most stunning view! I have never seen something like this! The owner is super nice and did everything to make us feel comfortable. The food that was cooked by the owners father was amazing as well.
