“Place is always awesome. Was sad to leave. Definitely the best place in Costa Rica after traveling around the entire country. Best beaches, people and best house to stay in period!”

~Matthew and Johnny, returning guests, April 2017

“The best vacation of our lives. If you want a relaxing stay with a paradise setting in a beautiful, new home comfortable for cooking meals and maybe a couple of guests for a dinner party, Frank’s house is perfect. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants, it’s a perfect location. I recommend this place 11 times out of 10 and you can count on me coming back to Casa Kalana in the near future!”

“Traveled to Costa Rica for my honeymoon and couldn’t have found a better place to stay. Location was perfect, easy walk to the beach while still having space to relax and enjoy nature. Would definitely love to come back and highly recommend staying here to anyone.”

“I have visited Costa Rica a number of times, and have stayed at Casa Kalana several of those visits. Let me start off by saying that the location is perfect. Do yourselves a favor, and check out this lovely sliver of paradise. You won’t be disappointed.”

Surprise review by a guest for ‘The Manual – The Essential Men’s Guide’

“If you have the chance, stay at Casa Kalana, a beautiful home in a remote location surrounded by jungle life and only a five minute walk to the beach. The two-bedroom space features an open-air atrium, sundeck and large porch with a hammock where you’ll spend most of your time. The huge kitchen is perfect for cooking up some of your meals, especially on Fridays when the fish truck comes by delivering the ocean’s freshest catch. We felt like a part of the Playa Negra community by the end of the week, and Casa Kalana was an vital part of what made it such a magical experience.”
