We just got back from our stay at Costa Paraiso. What a gem! There are five villas on the property - four of them have two queen beds, and one (the Toucan Nest) is tucked back into a more private space and has a King bed. We rented two villas, the Toucan and Pelican. Both villas are immaculate and so... More

Very much enjoyed our stay. Cute little duplexes on cozy property. This was our first night in CR and the lush foliage and crashing waves started out trip out with a great frame of mind. Our room had a nice kitchen, but the meals were EXCELLENT. Breakfast was especially good. Pizza was a bit of a disappointment. The room had... More

Stayed for four nights end of February along with my adult daughter in search of beach time and a little surf after a week on the Carribbean coast. Beautifully appointed low key operation (?only 5 suites) that is totally chill. Room was clean with a well supplied kitchen, though we took advantage of the great on site , oceanside restaurant...

We stayed here for seven days with friend and overall were very satisfied with the level of service and the location. The hotel is in a very pretty location overlooking a rocky shoreline with a great view of the ocean and sunsets. Unfortunately this is not true of the rooms, which though very comfortable do to not afford the same... More

Thanks very much for your feedback, and your positive and constructive comments. In response to some of the minor issues you raise I can provide the following explanations.

We stayed in mid Feb 2013 and loved it. It is very nice, but not over the top. The property was super well kept. The managers were top notch, friendly, helpful, welcoming and very open. The meals were delicious. They made a Valentine's dinner of ahi tuna and the dining area with a view over the pool to the ocean... More

We visited Costa Paraiso back in September 2012 for 2 nights. We had a beautiful drive from San Jose airport; however, by the time we arrived it was pouring rain. While waiting in the car figuring out how we were going to get out in the rain we were greeted by Sandra carrying umbrellas. She took us straight to our... More

Thank you, was good that you enjoyed the view and the rocks where the waves were crashing, it is a view that you don’t get tired of. The rainy season is powerful and occasionally takes the sand out to sea, so that more rocks are exposed. In the summer time the sand comes back, right now the sand is back... More

Don't let the long, cliff like driveway scare you off. After driving around and checking out 6 or 7 different hotels that are close to the water, Casa Paraiso was the clear winner for us. It's just beautiful and close to everything we planned to do (beach, surfing, riding horses up to Nauyaca falls, etc.). Sandra was incredibly helpful and... More
