The house was perfect for 2 families of 4 with young kids (4-9), it was clean, well furnished, and Ruth was very responsive to all our requests and needs. The pool was great for kids, with afternoon shade, and evening lights that would keep them swimming for days on end. The house had great outdoor living space, a well furnished kitchen and A/C cooled bedrooms. The monkey deck was a hit for the kids to watch the troops of Monkeys pass by. The location of the house was perfect. Off the beaten path but still within walking distance to restaurants and beaches. Overall a wonderful family trip to Costa Rica at Casa de Nino! ##### Topher S.

It was even more beautiful than the pictures, and seemed much larger too! Ruth was AMAZING! She helped us with everything we needed, from ordering pizza delivery one night to giving therapeutic massages by the pool. Both of my friends said it was one of the best massages they've ever had and she definitely knew what she was doing! Although we only stayed 3 days, we didn't get to see any monkeys near the house despite getting up at the crack of dawn. We heard them though! I guess during the wet season they don't come around as reliably due to the increased food availability elsewhere. That was OK though because we were able to visit other nearby towns, explore during the day, see tons of wildlife, then return to our incredibly comfortable beds at night. The A/C in the bedrooms is absolutely necessary and we definitely appreciated that feature! Thank you again, for hosting us. If ever we return to Malpais, we would love to stay here again!! ##### Amy J. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nick B. Aug 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Week in Paradise Just returned home from our first trip to Costa Rica and week long stay at Casa de Noni. It lived up to every previous review and beyond! We were a family of 8, six adults and two kids, 4 & 2 years old. The house itself when we arrived was spotless and were welcomed by the most amazing host, Ruth. The AC in the rooms works amazing and will keep the most warm blooded bodies cool. We loved waking up and opening the house up to the jungle each morning listening to the jungle sounds sipping Costa Rican coffee. The kids spent enormous amounts of time in the pool which provided the perfect opportunity to cool down after a long adventure in the jungle. Some of us also enjoyed the outdoor shower adjacent to the pool that fully closes to provide complete privacy in the most unbelievable outdoor setting. From the back patio we saw iguanas, monkeys, and many different birds. As some of the other reviews pointed out, the railings on the upstairs patio do provide a bit of a fall hazard for the toddlers so that was something we had to keep in mind. The bugs are definitely a thing to when you’re literally living in the jungle, but a few itches and having to redirect some crawlers here and there is nothing to complain about. The house is less than I five minute walk to the most picturesque beaches I’ve seen. The town of Mal Pais is quiet but just a short drive away is a more bustling Santa Teresa for those in the family were looking for shops and beachside bars/restaurants. There are a couple of great restaurants 2 minutes walk from the house where we were able to find options for the most picky of pallets. Ruth was amazing and organized all our travel to and from San Jose, delivery and rentals of a 4x4 rental car (must in this area) and 2 ATVs, and was available to do much more whenever we needed. We spent most of our days exploring the local area on our ATVs and poked our heads into most of the area beaches on both sides of the peninsula. Couldn’t recommend this property more, 10/10! Already planning our next trip back to the most amazing country. ##### Nick B. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jody G.

This house was a great place for our family of five plus two grandparents. It is very spacious. There are two kitchens, and they are both plenty big for making meals. The pool was awesome. The host was responsive and the local representative was helpful and kind. The house was clean, the water was clean, and hot water got plenary hot. The location is super convenient, only a 3 minute walk to the mal pais restaurants, but was still private and relatively quiet. ##### Jody G.

Jul 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Home Our family of one couple, 3 adults and a teen really enjoyed our stay in this jungle setting! Mal Pais is a small, quiet community close to Santa Teresa (about a ten minute drive). There are a couple good restaurants and a coffee shop just around the corner from the house. We also made daily trips to Santa Teresa where there were more shops, restaurants and beaches to explore. Ruth was very helpful in scheduling a fishing trip, massages and a visit to the Montezuma waterfalls, as well as recommending beaches and restaurants. She and her husband were so kind to do a thorough search of the house for an item we thought we had left but found later in our luggage. The house was cleaned every few days, making it very pleasant to come home to after a day at the beach. The bedrooms have great air conditioning and comfy beds. The loft was a roomy space with two nice beds but it was a little too warm for our kids. The living areas and pool were great! We were glad we had a four wheel drive vehicle to drive up a hill before getting to the house. We never walked to the beach since it wasn’t a straight shot there from the house. However, there is a “secret beach” in Mal Pais about a 5 minute drive from the house that is beautiful! I highly recommend this property! ##### Teresa S.

The property manager Ruth is very attentive and has great suggestions for places to go & eat. The loft is not air-conditioned, something to note if using for sleeping quarters. The air-conditioned bedrooms are fantastic. The verandas are amazing! Nighttime swimming in pool for the teens and cocktails on verandas for the adults was a perfect way to end the days. Highly recommend staying here. We were a group of 9. ##### julie c. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary S.

Mal Pais is such a nice and quiet little spot outside of bustling Santa Teresa. The house was perfect for a large group of us who did stuff both altogether and in smaller groups. Honestly I could have stayed at the house the entire time and been perfectly content. It has everything you need and Ruth is super responsive and helpful! Would return in a heartbeat. ##### Mary S.

Dentro de la casa solo hay 2 baños completos por piso y uno que está fuera de la casa por la piscina pero estaba super sucio y al aire libre (nadie lo usó). Hay perros de los vecinos que llegan hacer necesidades por la piscina y la limpieza le toca a los inquilinos hacerla. Las 2 parrillas nos las entregaron super sucias. ##### Sofia V.

Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie F. May 4, 2018 #### Breathtaking upon arrival. Stunning landscape, beautiful architectural layout and very comfortable I picked this property on a whim without doing much research on location because I was so impressed by the photos. The rest of the plans fell into place after that, and it couldn’t have turned out to be a better vacation. My husband, myself and our 4 kids (15, 13, 10 and 9) had the most amazing experience and thoroughly enjoyed an adventurous, relaxing and fun vacation. The property was the best part of it all. It was the perfect retreat after a long morning of adventure. The kids could come back to swim and have lunch before heading down to the beach to swim some more. Ruth, our concierge (and one of the nicest people I have ever met), took care of making arrangements and booking our day trips. She arranged for us to have ATV’s for the week, zip lining/canopy tour, waterfall hikes and delicious restaurant recommendations. Best of all, I didn’t realized a massage was included. I got the most amazing poolside massage from Ruth, probably one of the best I have ever had! If this is your first trip to Costa Rica, this is the perfect house. You will be well taken care of and have the privacy and independence that you would not get at a resort. It is the perfect distance to downtown town and surrounding adventures. Thank you Ruth and Naomi for the wonderful accommodations! ##### Stephanie F. Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### John H. Mar 19, 2018 #### Nice House but ... The house is lovely but if you are looking for a 1st world experience, this is not your place. The power goes out almost everyday and I did not see that posted in previous reviews. The first evening that it went out and we were thrown in total darkness, I would have expected that Ruth would have come over or contacted us to let us know what was going on and what to do, but we were left to walking around with flashlights. Sometimes it went out in the morning when you are making your coffee, sometimes at night when it is 90 degrees and then you have no AC. The roads are terrible and we live on dirt roads in the States. They were so dusty that you could not rent 4 wheelers unless you had full respirators. It was nice to sit on the deck in the morning and watch the monkeys come through. There are cute, free range dogs that visit regularly and we did learn their names and enjoyed their company. The pool is nice, the kitchens are well stocked, and the beds comfortable. The biggest drawback was the poor infrastructure in power and roads. ##### John H. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### anna h. Mar 15, 2018 #### I loved our stay.

Beautiful home, once arrived even more beautiful than the pictures. Our favorite was relaxing on the big deck every morning and evening in the leather and wood rocking chairs while the teenagers lounged in the pool. We bbq'd a few nights, and played cards at the outside table. The teenagers lounged down stairs most of the time, making use of their own kitchen and hang out area which gave us parents a quiet serene main floor. The master bedroom was large with a comfortable king bed and plenty of space for our luggage and clothes. The girls took the large bedroom downstairs with more than enough room for all their stuff. The bathrooms were very nicely done. Both kitchens stocked with appliances. Every day around 3:30 the monkeys would migrate by, perfect view from the deck. The birds were beautiful, new ones I'd never seen before visiting on the deck rail in the mornings and chirping away. One of the best perks about this vacation home is the owner Noni and onsite concierge Ruth. From the first email to the owner I knew I was in good hands. She responded immediately and over the next three months answered every question I had promptly. (and I had a lot, as we had never been and I was traveling with 4 teenagers. I was very nervous!) She recommended the best way to travel to their home, and even set up a driver to come get us. Ruth is onsite and she was amazing! Before we left I booked a flight hop to get us back to San Jose (Highly recommended, it was a stunning 20min flight) and the agent sent the confirmation had our family name wrong. I asked Ruth for help and she called the airline and fixed it for me. She set up all our activities and recommended the best things to do. Our favorite was the atv ride up to Montezuma falls. I also loved snorkeling at secret beach. (I bought a snorkel set from costco and brought it with us.) Having her there made our trip so relaxing, knowing she could help us with anything. If you are thinking of going to Costa Rica, this is the place to go. The beautiful home and the support of the owner and concierge made this a bucket list trip to remember. ##### Heidi M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Majestic Colonial Punta Cana - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Majestic-Colonial-Punta-Cana-All-Inclusive.h1265372.Hotel-Information) > > [La Mariposa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Mariposa-Hotel.h119352.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Québec City](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-City-Hotels.d180017.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel San Bada Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-San-Bada.h4247464.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Hotel-Nantipa-A-Tico-Beach-Experience.h28413626.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Naoz](https://www.expedia.ca/Manuel-Antonio-Hotels-Hotel-Naoz.h74524806.Hotel-Information) > > [La Vela Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Vela-Boutique-Hotel.h11881555.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel & Spa Poco a Poco](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Spa-Poco-A-Poco.h4485115.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulemar Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Tulemar-Resort.h12685352.Hotel-Information) > > [Incredible Tropical Retreat Full of Monkeys, Sloths, Toucans and much more](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Incredible-Tropical-Retreat-Full-Of-Monkeys.h19220284.Hotel-Information) > > [Tango Mar Beachfront Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Tango-Mar-Beachfront-Boutique-Hotel-Villas.h903960.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Arenas-Del-Mar-Beachfront-Rainforest-Member-Of-The-Cayuga-Collection.h1484897.Hotel-Information) > > [Los Suenos Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Los-Suenos-Marriott-Ocean-Golf-Resort.h522999.Hotel-Information) > > [Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Shana-By-The-Beach-Manuel-Antonio.h2351763.Hotel-Information) > > [Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Camino-Verde-Bed-Breakfast.h4449816.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Costa Verde](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Costa-Verde.h5580910.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Las Vegas Strip](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Strip-Las-Vegas-Hotels.0-n800045-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Punta Leona](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Punta-Leona.h486442.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Vacation Club at Los Suenos](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Marriott-Vacation-Club-At-Los-Suenos.h60169844.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Tambor](https://www.expedia.ca/Paquera-Hotels-Barcelo-Tambor.h795208.Hotel-Information) > > [Ylang Ylang Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Ylang-Ylang-Beach-Resort.h32536597.Hotel-Information) > > [Bosque del Cabo Rain Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Bosque-Del-Cabo-Rain-Forest-Lodge.h11886299.Hotel-Information) > > [Monteverde Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Lodge-Gardens-By-Boena.h4497846.Hotel-Information) > > [El Faro Containers Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-El-Faro-Containers-Beach-Hotel.h8249200.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiesta Resort Central Pacific - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Barranca-Hotels-Fiesta-Resort-Central-Pacific-All-Inclusive.h692315.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Greece](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Greece-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d67-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Igloo Beach Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-IGLOO-BEACH-LODGE.h46091182.Hotel-Information) > > [Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Si-Como-No-Resort.h1321388.Hotel-Information) ### Packages > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations)
