Another excellent stay. One of the best campsites we have used, with good shower, toilet, washing up and cooking facilities. The wifi in the reception area is good (most of the time), food is fantastic, and the owners are very friendly and helpful.
We love hiking the trails here so much that we came back for a second visit and spent a wonderful 2 days relaxing and watching the plentiful wildlife. Even had 2 sloths in the tree above our van.
We will definitely return on on next visit to Costa Rica.

Get away from the crowds and relax.

Set in lush woods, orchards and gardens off the beaten track along the river Sapoa in the far northwest of Costa Rica, Canas Castilla is a quiet spot where to enjoy verdant vegetation and see spider and howler monkeys up close while lounging in hammocks on the porch. This is our favorite place to stay in Costa Rica, and we've sampled some great ecolodges. We are naturalists, and what we are seeking on vacation in Costa Rica are locations where we can experience tropical wildlife right from our cabin and on nearby trails. There is nowhere else we see so many monkeys, so close up – we feel like Jane Goodall, watching mothers with babies, youngsters romping, males with swagger, and feeding behavior on many different types of leaves and fruits. Birdwatching is also excellent – dancing long-tailed manakins, laughing falcons, spectacled owls, kiel-billed toucans, oropendolas, white-billed woodpeckers, as examples.  Also lots of interesting plants and herps along the trail loops right on the property. And the owners can always point you too a two-toed sloth somewhere within minutes of your cabin.

The cabins are right along the river Sapoa (a wide, beautiful river flowing into the Lago de Nicaragua a few miles to the north), and there are huge, old-growth trees along it and around the cabins.  The cabins are simple but spacious and clean (either with 1 double and 2 single beds or with 1 double and a kitchen).  Breakfast and dinner are served outside in a riverview patio with a thatched roof.  The owners are Swiss emigres and they prepare fantastic, healthy and delicious meals with ingredients right from their farm -- fresh-squeezed juices, eggs from their chickens, home-made bread, and home-made passionfruit and cactus fruit wine.  It is less than a one hour drive on easy roads from Liberia, and makes a fantastic first or last night in the country if you are flying from there -- infinitely better than the touristy places right near the airport for immersing yourself in tropical nature before or after flying.  This is also a great place to be based while exploring Santa Rosa National Park's dry tropical forest trails or the secluded, empty beaches of the far north coast.

Our favorite place in Costa Rica - tranquil, and with so many monkeys!

The place is incredible, surrounded by nature. The main cabin was comfortable and included everything you need. We arrived late at night without any problem. The next morning, breakfast was DELICIOUS, with homemade bread, homemade jams and other dishes (the coffee was amazing). The attention was the best! We also left a personal object in the cabin, which they very kindly helped us coordinate the shipment to our house. Super recommended!

Excellent Service!

We spent 3 wonderful days and nights in this magical place. The beautiful cabins are located in a rich tropical environment facing the river. The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful and spoilt us with an amazing breakfast and dinner (on request). We enjoyed the hiking trails on the ground and saw plenty of animals from our terrace and during the hikes. We loved every minute of our stay there!

A magical place to stay!

Finca Canas Castilla is a most underrated gem.  It is a  gorgeous location, unique and well-appointed accomodations, exquisite meal preparation.  The photos do not do justice to the property. Everything exceeded expectations.

Hidden Gem

Excellent service, great property, lots of wildlife, homemade all natural food, awesome hiking trails 
You deal with the owners of the property so they really care about ur experience.  

I just spent 45 min pecking a detailed review into trip advisor only to have it disappear when i went to add photos and didn’t have security permission from my iPhone.

Worth more than 1 day

The location is second to none, located along a river with 2 large crocodiles you can see swimming and surrounded by animals (Monkeys, Sloths, Crocs, Cows/Bulls, Pigs, Horses, and Birds) it makes it an experience I won't forget. The property has horse back riding and a memorable hike to the top of the property that allows you to see over most of Costa Rica.

The couple that owns this place offers the most authentic experience with home cooked meals three times a day (The food was the freshest I had in Costa Rica) It felt like my mom was cooking for me back home. I'm so glad we found this gem!

This is the most unique and authentic property I've ever stayed on!! It feels like home in a tropical oasis!

We only spent one night here but the location was perfect. 
The rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is amazing. 
The owners are great cooks and the prices are very reasonable. 
We will definitely stay here if we go back to Costa Rica.

Wonderful location

We only spent one night here, but I wish it had been for a longer stay. The cabins are lovely and clean. Ours slept 4 people, though it was only two of us. The cabins are nestled in beautiful tropical plants and if you look closely you will see monkeys and sloth hanging around in the trees above. We had one of the best meals of our trip here, cooked fresh by Agi and her husband, Guido. So delicious!  The communal eating time allowed for meeting other travelers and wonderful conversation. They offer a variety of excursions and easy access to the frontier, which is why we chose this place. We hope to come back someday with a group of friends!!!

Hope to come back!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Agi and her family were wonderful hosts and made a fabulous breakfast! There is plenty of wildlife on the finca! No need to pay $15 to see it at a national park! The area is really authentic, with families swimming in the river. Short drive to La Cruz, easy to go to Rincon de la Vieja or Playa Rajada.
