Casa Melray exceeded our expectation. We rented the guest house, which was not on the beach but was spectacular. It had it's own outdoor areas and it's own kitchen. The location of Casa Melray was perfect as it's beach was beautiful and had very few beach goers. Close walk to many restaurants and corner stores. Mel and Ray were wonderful... More

We loved our time at Casa Melray so much last winter (2012) that we returned this February for another month of sheer bliss. Mel and Ray welcomed us like old friends - open arms and warm words. The three friends who joined us in 2012 grew to six friends this year and no surprise the new recruits were blown away... More

So many good things have already been said, which is why we chose this place, but I must add our voices to the mix. Our only mistake was booking this place at the start of our trip...nothing else compared afterwards! We rented the 2 bedroom casita and were thrilled with every aspect. Mel & Ray have truly thought of everything...lovely... More

Here it is February and we are still talking about our trip to Costa Rica/Casamelray! We had no idea what was in store for us.

We started our family vacation New Year's Eve with our adult son and daughter and their partners. Casa Melray was the perfect choice. The accomodations were 1st rate. We couldn't have asked for more on any level: from the beauty of our lodgings and their attentive maintenance to the graciousness of our hosts, Mel and Ray. We arrived as strangers... More
