    Casa Viva is a magical place with an amazing staff. We were so lucky to experience it and will be back! We loved the fresh coconuts from Francisco. We had our wedding at Casa Viva and couldn’t have asked for a dreamier location or more supportive...

    My God the piece of land where the property is located is impeccable it’s heavenly with all its greenery, trees and landscape. The bungalows are amazingly built, very clean and the privacy is great due to only having just a few scattered bungalows...
