Home in La Fortuna

Excellent! The host and concierge went above and beyond, and this is a very special house. I can't say enough great things about it. A+!

The experience of staying at this house was amazing across the board for our family. Joshua was an incredible host - he helped us organize our activities, hosted a delicious traditional Costa Rican breakfast, gave us great local tips, and made our stay truly stress free. The house has so much character. Our kids loved the bedrooms (each with it’s own private bathroom and AC), the decorations and the giant comfy couch. My wife and I enjoyed the well stocked kitchen for making a couple of meals and the large living space. The house is surrounded a small jungle, has a short trail, and there are two sloths that live in the trees right off the kitchen which we saw every day (one day only about 10 feet away). We also saw many frog species, humming birds, and lizards. The property felt very safe (in fact the whole area did). The location is about 15 minutes southeast from downtown La Fortuna and felt more local than touristy, which we loved.

Thank you for your kindness. You will always be welcome! Pura Vida! 🙂🙏🏻

The house was very clean and spacious for our whole family. The hospitality was top notch and the dinner they served was delicious as well as the complimentary breakfast! The host was very responsive and helpful. The trails and wildlife right out the back door were amazing! We saw sloths,howler monkeys and a large variety of birds and butterflies. The pool was perfect to relax in after exploring for the day! Would highly recommend checking out this gem in the rainforest!

Our stay at Green Paradise House Volcano View was absolutely exceptional! From the moment we arrived, Joshua and Raquel made us feel so welcome with their warm hospitality. They were gracious hosts who truly went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experience. The property is absolutely stunning, beautifully maintained, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. The house itself is incredibly spacious, spotless, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It was the perfect place to relax after exploring La Fortuna. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely choose Green Paradise House again on our next visit. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, clean, and unforgettable home away from home in La Fortuna. Thank you, Joshua and Raquel, for making our trip so special!

Dear Ruth and family, Thank you so much for everything! They have been some of the friendliest, warmest and most welcoming people we have ever met. From the first moment, they made us feel right at home, and we are very grateful for all the help and attention they gave us. Ruth, your food is just delicious! You can see the affection and dedication you put into every detail. The house is beautiful, and you can see all the effort, love, and good taste that have been put into it. We really enjoyed our stay. In addition, the landscape is spectacular: private, quiet and really beautiful. It was the perfect place for us to relax and enjoy ourselves. We would definitely go back a thousand times. Thank you for making our experience so special. We wish you many blessings and hope to see you again soon! Thank you very much 💕

Queridos Ruth y familia, ¡Muchísimas gracias por todo! Han sido de las personas más amables, cálidas y acogedoras que hemos conocido. Desde el primer momento nos hicieron sentir como en casa y estamos muy agradecidos por toda la ayuda y las atenciones que tuvieron con nosotros. Ruth, ¡tu comida es simplemente deliciosa! Se nota el cariño y la dedicación que pones en cada detalle. La casa es hermosa y se nota todo el esfuerzo, el amor y el buen gusto que le han dedicado. Disfrutamos muchísimo nuestra estancia. Además, el paisaje es espectacular: privado, tranquilo y realmente hermoso. Fue el lugar perfecto para relajarnos y disfrutar. Sin duda volveríamos una y mil veces. Gracias por hacer que nuestra experiencia fuera tan especial. ¡Les deseamos muchas bendiciones y esperamos volver a verlos pronto! Muchísimas gracias 💕

Raquel was fantastic with my family! Unspeakable. It would be back for sure. House with everything, stylish and with an exceptional experience!

Raquel foi fantástica com a minha famiiia! Impecável. Voltaria com certeza. Casa com tudo , estilosa e com experiência excepcional !

We had a pleasant stay. The house is spacious, beautiful and very well maintained. Our hosts were welcoming, warm and always available. They responded quickly to each of our questions and provided excellent service throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend this place!

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour. La maison est spacieuse, magnifique et très bien entretenue. Nos hôtes ont été accueillants, chaleureux et toujours disponibles. Ils ont répondu rapidement à chacune de nos questions et ont offert un excellent service tout au long de notre séjour. Nous recommandons cet endroit sans hésitation!

This is a beautiful property with so many areas to explore, be together with family and enjoy down time.  It is  about 15 minutes from La Fortuna but transportation was easy to arrange.  I would definitely recommend booking if you are considering!  We made so many wonderful memories.

Spacious property both inside and out. Very kid-friendly with lots of toys, books, games, a pool and 3 very cute and friendly dog visitors, that were all a hit with the kids! Many AC units and fans throughout the house, that kept the house cool to everyone's personal liking.  We had a couple issues, but we're able to navigate them and the hosts were always very responsive.  Kitchen was very spacious and well appointed, but without a dishwasher, which would have been a welcome time-saver.  The host and her family were very welcoming and gracious!

Green Paradise is the perfect getaway for big families. We’ve stayed here twice now and absolutely love it. Gathering in the big kitchen, relaxing by the pool, and being completely immersed in the jungle surroundings made our family trips unforgettable. Truly worth it

This house made our Costa Rica vacation experience extremely special and unique! Perfect fit multigenerational families or friend groups. each bedroom was huge and had their own private bathrooms. the rooms felt private and separated from each other. The common spaces were perfect for gathering after all the fun daytime activities. Our favorite part of each morning was a walk through the jungle trail and spotting the sloths in the tree behind the kitchen and looking for the Howler monkeys which we saw a few times. The pool is huge and was a great temp. The house and property has endless exploring opportunities which we loved. The breakfast provided by Raquel's mom Ruth was a wonderful and heartfelt experience for us we loved the dogs that belong to Ruth. we paid for a dinner cooked by Ruth and Geraldo and it was so delicious. They were so kind and the property is truly amazing. thank you!!!! we were a family of 8. 2 in their 80s, 2 teens and their parents plus one other couple.

Amazing hosts and made us feel right at home. Their family even took our kids fishing at the little pond next to their property. Lots to see… sloths in the tree at the property while we were there. Little jungle behind the house was super cool. Pool and house were great, lots of room, super comfortable. Great for families!! Would definitely book again!

The green house is spacious, thoughtfully appointed all around, and amid great flora and fauna. Raquel and her entire family, are perfect hosts. We (family of 5) had large personal bedrooms. Kitchen and dining area, family room are all even larger. Furniture throughout is well appointed and allows smaller Groups to conclave. While we did not use the pool, it looked pristine. We enjoyed lovely breakfast with host family and personal tour was eventful with a sloth (recent mom). Overall, it was a paradise. One small note, while not required, a SUV is a good option to reach the property.

This place was truly a gem! It was exactly as pictured, maybe even better—spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly well-equipped. The location was perfect for exploring La Fortuna and communication with Raquel and Joshua was seamless from start to finish. We felt right at home and can’t wait to come back. Raquel parents were very kind and showed us animals at the property and served us a fantastic breakfast one of the days of our stay.

The property was incredibly spacious and clean! Raquel and Joshua were responsive and accommodating.

Absolutely amazing place and hosts! You wont find such accommodation in La fortuna. Private jungle behind the house hold much more animals that we have seen on paid night walk with guide! House itself is very large and equiped in literally anything and everything that you need. Swimming pool also great. All just 5*!  would definitely go back again with my family to this place again

This is your home, Olga. They were such a kind and nice family. Come back whenever you like. Pura Vida 🌿🤎💚🐒🦥☺️

Definitely felt like paradise! The pool is the perfect temperature, we spent lots of time there and it has a large covered area for those who don’t want the sun. Living area was great for family movies and we LOVED having Candy and Pulga visit and stay almost every morning and evening, they’re adorable. The breakfast was delicious and we got to meet Nieve, cutest puppy ever! And Raquel’s dad walked us to the pond and showed where we could fish if we’d wanted to. Loved the plentiful snacks, the trails, and seeing Lupita the day we arrived. We looked every morning and afternoon of our 7 day stay to see her again but she was hiding. A few minor water issues in kitchen and laundry room that were fixed very quickly. Joshua is super helpful and Raquel even ordered us take out food so we could pick it up on our way home from the blue falls! If you have the time, highly recommend the 90min drive to see and swim in them. Fantastic experience. Loved our stay here!

Absolutely amazing, private location. We saw sloths right outside in the backyard. Raquel was a fantastic host!

We had a wonderful stay here! The pool and grounds were beautiful and felt like our own private oasis. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. The house is huge and we loved the pool and jungle all around.  The location was great too for some great day excursions. We are grateful for the hospitality and would love to stay again someday.

Green Paradise is just that.  What a beautiful home with wonderful rainforest around it.  Everything you will need while on vacation and more.  Pool was a blessing and we enjoyed our time in it. Ruth made dinner the first night for my son’s birthday and it was delicious. Birthday cake for dessert with happy sang to him as well !  Plenty of room and the new addition of the hammock area with pura vida sign is beautiful. Any issues Raquel or Josh answered almost immediately.  We were able to see the sloths and monkey family thanks to her father guiding us!  Well worth the money couldn’t imagine it being any better

Our stay here was unforgettable. The home is beautifully decorated with original artwork that gives the space so much character. The kitchen alone is bigger than my first apartment and had every utensil and appliance you could possibly need. The outdoor space is just as impressive. The pool was stunning and kept at the perfect temperature for a relaxing swim. One of the highlights of our trip was when the hosts prepared a traditional breakfast for us—it was incredibly delicious. The property also offers hiking paths through the forest. The hosts truly made the stay exceptional. They were responsive, kind, and full of helpful knowledge about the area. This is the kind of place where you could easily spend an entire week without ever leaving and still feel completely immersed in the beauty around you. Without a doubt, one of the most unique and expansive homes we’ve ever stayed in—simply amazing!

Raquel’s place was perfect for our stay in La Fortuna. The space was comfortable and had all the amenities we could have asked for. The property was beautiful. We enjoyed watching the monkeys and sloth in the back yard. The pool was perfect to cool off and relax after a day of hiking. The added bonus of breakfast at Ruth’s house went above and beyond our expectations! Raquel was very responsive to any questions we had. I would definitely stay again!

Raquel’s place was perfect for our large family of 10! The kids loved the pool, the couch was a great size for all of us, and the kitchen had more than enough dishes etc for what we needed. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful and we very much enjoyed the breakfast at the host’s home 😊

If you ever find yourself planning a trip to Costa Rica in La Fortuna look no further for a place to stay. It was my 30th , Raquel and Joshua did an amazing job at making it feel really special. The house was beautiful, the location even better, and we even had our own little jungle in the back to explore. Any questions or concerns we had were answered promptly. Recommendations were amazing as well. Our favorite part though was our sloth friend Lupita who we got lucky enough to spot but if you’re lucky you’ll get visited by the cutest ground supervisors named Candy and Pulga! Over all our stay was nothing less than amazing. We can’t wait to come back. Pura Vida !

Thank you for choosing us for this beautiful occasion. We look forward to seeing you 💚🌿🙂☺️Pura vida!

We were a group of 13 and this place was perfect. Raquel and Joshua were so responsive to all our questions. The house was incredible. We felt right in the jungle and saw spider monkeys from the kitchen. The pool was a great attraction. We would love to come back.

The house was amazing. We all had our own space and the house had everything we needed. Breakfast was wonderful with Raquel’s mom.

This was our favorite stay of the trip. The home is huge, spotless, and incredibly well set up for large groups, with plenty of plates, glassware, and kitchen equipment. You can tell real thought went into making sure guests have everything they need. The setting is stunning. I loved walking the trail into the forest and having coffee each morning fully surrounded by nature. It felt private and peaceful. The pool was exceptionally clean, and I’m picky about pools. AC in every bedroom and in shared spaces kept everyone comfortable. We really enjoyed that each bedroom is its own area of the house, and easy for everyone to have their own space. Our daughter loved the provided toys and small chair on the back porch, and the little perrito who visited became her best friend. We loved it so much we canceled other plans just to spend more time here. We’ll definitely be back.

The Green Paradise House was just that…Paradise! It was extremely spacious with TONS of beds! The property was beautiful and very private. We had our own piece of the jungle out back with a little walking trail. We searched for sloths every day but unfortunately didn’t see any. We did see one monkey though! The kitchen was fully stocked, including some complementary coffee:). The house had all the amenities that we needed (including AC in every room, which is hard to find). The hosts, Raquel and Joshua, were extremely communicative and very response to any questions we had. We felt extremely welcomed, as Joshua met us in person and gave us a tour of the house. They even graciously invited us to Raquel’s family’s home for breakfast one day, which was very kind. We felt like we got to experience a true part of Costa Rica that we wouldn’t have otherwise had seen. I would 100% recommend this house to any larger group!

Everything was beautiful. The stay and the crew were excellent. Would definitely stay there again. Pura vida!

This is a very unique and spacious home with the most gorgeous surroundings.  Raquel and Joshua were amazing hosts and always responded quickly. They gave us great recommendations and even bought us a birthday cake for my friend's birthday!! Joshua helped set up massages at the house as well. The pool is huge, the A/C works great, wonderful water pressure in the showers, comfortable beds and the views and scenery can't be beat. It's about a 20 minute drive to La Fortuna where there are many great restaurants. Some might like to be closer to town but I thought the location was perfect for the privacy and views. Thanks for an amazing stay!!

What a gem of a place! We saw a family of howling monkeys, a sloth, iguanas, and a variety of insects and birds! The pictures don’t do it justice for how immersed in the trees you are, and you can walk down to a stream. The provided breakfast was a lovely experience, and having someone to contact for any and all questions does give you some peace of mind when you’re in a new place. The place is huge, giving each bedroom their own privacy (including a bathroom in each!). This was super ideal for a large group with multiple families. I would highly recommend anyone stay here!

It’s an excellent property with all the facilities. The host and the con host are super friendly and helpful. We felt like home and enjoyed. Highly recommended to stay here. Shan ( Melbourne)

This is an place we would return to! Raquel & Joshua were amazing. Joshua was there to greet us & help us with Early arrival. We had a place to put our luggage safely while they prepared the home for our check in.  The home had plenty of space & was very comfortable for the 8 of us staying there.  We were on a family trip.  The kitchen was large & had plenty of appliances for food prep.  All the rooms were a good size & plenty of bathrooms as well.  The grounds were fun to walk around on. We saw Poison dart frogs to monkeys.  It was neat to take the path over to their overlook area & cross the little bridge. Some of us even enjoyed the pool while we were there.  It was a very private & quiet area.  Raquels parents live nearby and welcomed us with a wonderful Costa Rican breakfast before we left.  They really care about their guests feeling comfortable and happy and making sure they have a true Costa Rican experience.  We would go back just so we could visit with them again!

Seems bienvenidos siempre que gusten ☺️nos alegra tanto que disfrutaran . Pura vida !

Raquel's home was a wonderful place for our family to stay.  We were able to enjoy wildlife right in the backyard, sloths, iguanas, and a howler monkey family.  Try and arrive during daylight so that you are able to appreciate the beauty of where you have landed.

The house is big and beautiful, with lovely wildlife abound outdoors. They did a great job with this space! Great for larger and multlifamily travel groups

Josh and Raquel's were very responsive in anything we asked about the place, places of interest and restaurants!

The house was more than beautiful and super spacious. It is perfect for a family vacation with children. There is a crib, high chair and plenty of toys to entertain them. The pool was quite lovely as well as the rest of the property. Raquel was very easy to communicate with and even gave us homemade tamales. The best part were the two sloths that lived in the trees behind the kitchen! The house is about a 15 minute drive to La Fortuna making it easy to do all the activities you want. We had a lovely van action and would highly recommend staying here

The house was spotless. Big house with lots of room, everything was great and the kitchen was stocked with all necessary utensils and appliances. The breakfast that they offered at Racquel's father's place was icing on the cake. Both Racquel and Joshua were very proactive and provided great recommendations. We had a great time. Highly recommended.

It was really nice house and owner is very helpful and always responsive on time

Joshua offered concierge services to us, and just answered all our questions for anything we planned ourselves - including what to wear. It was really an amazing house. We did not get a chance to use the pool, but we did use the little covered platform in the woods to do some yoga and forest watching. I was glad I had an SUV to get into the long driveway.

The house is beautiful  and very comfortable. The kitchen is large and well appointed. The landscaping is exquisite and the pool is beautiful and large.  Raquel and her co-host, Joshua were very responsive and ready with suggestions.  I will happily stay at Green Paradise again.

We loved staying at Raquel’s house — it’s truly a nature lover’s dream! Her backyard feels like a magical sanctuary filled with wildlife. In the mornings, we saw howler monkeys, and on the third day, we finally spotted the sloth, which only comes down on sunny days. On our last day, we even saw a pair of toucans! At night, we ventured into the forest for a bit of exploration, which was such a fun experience. Raquel’s mom kindly invited us for breakfast, which turned out to be a memorable highlight. She showed us their beautiful farm with pineapple and cocoa trees. My favorite part was watching the leaf-cutting ants march in long lines, each carrying tiny pieces of leaves — such a fascinating sight!

A great place, I highly recommend it, beautiful, super clean, super spacious, whoever reads this review will see, I did not hesitate or look any further, you will not find a place like this to share with family or friends, it is excellent to share, meet, walk or rest. The host took very good care of us and the excellent manager was there to help us with everything. I really think I will return 👍👌💯

Un lugar estupendo, la cerda lo recomiendo al mil por ciento, hermoso, súper limpio, súper amplio, quien lea esta reseña le indicó, no lo dudé ni busque más, no va a encontrar un lugar como este para compartir con familia o amigos, es excelente para compartir, conocer, pasear o descansar el anfitrión nos atendió muy bien y administrador excelente estuvo para ayudarnos en todo la verdad pienso volver 👍👌💯

Raquel’s place was absolutely gorgeous! The house was very modern and well decorated. We loved the beautiful greeting and welcome gift hamper they provided! They were also really accommodating with early check in and late check out

This was the best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had! The house was spacious, beautifully decorated, spotless, and had great AC. The backyard felt like our own private rainforest with a trail. We saw a sloth, colorful birds, and howler monkeys! The hosts were beyond amazing. They welcomed us with a snack box, quickly sent someone to fix a noisy AC within 10 minutes, and were quick to share recommendations/answer any questions we had. They let us pick some rambutan from their tree (Raquel’s father even brought a ladder to help when we were having trouble) and Joshua gifted us a huge ripe soursop from his garden when he heard we couldn’t find any at the market. They even invited us for breakfast at her parents’ home, which we sadly couldn’t fit into our busy schedule. Candi and Pulgito, Raquel’s parents’ sweet chihuahuas, kept us company throughout our stay and were so well-behaved. Everything about this stay was warm, thoughtful, and unforgettable. We would absolutely stay here again!

We had a fantastic week at Raquel's beautiful home. We had 9 family members and had plenty of room.Raquel and Joshua were very responsive and informative on things to do in La Fortuna...We will definitely be back. Pure Vide...

This place hit the mark. Private and secluded. We saw monkeys and felt like we were part of La Fortuna. We travel with our family of seven and the inside was as comfortable as it gets. About 15 min from all excursions and things to do. Definite recommend.

Had a great weekend with our family of 9. Really enjoyed our stay at Raquel’s! Thank you!

Incredible stay at Green Paradise. Check in to check out and everything in between was amazing. Raquel was always so responsive to questions. She wants to make sure your stay is comfortable. At first, I was concerned if the A/C could keep the house cool and temperature comfortable. But after the units were on for a short while, they cooled the entire place down and at times was chilly. Raquel went above and beyond to make sure it was cool enough for our stay.  Little conveniences also made our stay even more comfortable, like ice machine that works from refrigerator and cold water chilled in the refrigerator and welcome snacks when we arrived. The homemade breakfast we had at Raquel’s parents, a short walk down from Green Paradise, was icing on the cake. So kind and the hospitality was fantastic. Her dad even walked over to show us the sloth in the tree. Would absolutely recommend the house and would stay there again. It was a short 12-15 minute to center of town. We felt safe and the

My stay at this house was excellent. The place is very cozy, clean and well-equipped, perfect for resting and enjoying peacefully. The area is safe and surrounded by nature, which made the experience even more relaxing. In addition, the service was very friendly and everything was in order from the first moment. I would definitely come back!

Mi estadía en esta casa fue excelente. El lugar es muy acogedor, limpio y bien equipado, perfecto para descansar y disfrutar con tranquilidad. La zona es segura y rodeada de naturaleza, lo que hizo la experiencia aún más relajante. Además, la atención fue muy amable y todo estuvo en orden desde el primer momento. ¡Definitivamente volvería!

Would highly recommend the Green Paradise Volcano View House.  It was very well stocked and maintained.  Raquel and Joshua were very responsive to all of our inquiries. Lots of wildlife as well, the was a sloth in the banana tree right behind the house. The hosted breakfast was amazing too. Definitely need an SUV for the unpaved 300 meter road from the paved road to the house and not a car, but with an SUV it was just fine. I would stay here again anytime.

One of the most beautiful Airbnbs I've ever been to, it's the perfect mix of forest + comfort. The house has a very original style and decoration, it is super well equipped. The setting is so beautiful that you could spend the whole day there. We also appreciate the cordiality of inviting us all to breakfast, watching many birds.

De los Airbnb más bonitos que he estado , es la mezcla de bosque + comodidad perfecta. La casa tiene un estilo y decoración muy original , está súper bien equipada . El entorno es tan precioso que podrías pasar el día entero allí. Además agradecemos la cordialidad de invitarnos a todos a desayunar viendo muchos pajaritos.

What a fabulous home! Beautiful and large spaces. And your backyard is the rain forest with two types of monkeys (howlers are loud and fun!). So many beautiful birds, blue Jean frogs, and even Lukita the sloth high in the trees. We were invited for a typical Tico breakfast and the hospitality was above and beyond. The bridge flooded and Joshua met us to make sure we found the property in the downpour. He and Racquel were always available for great advice about activities and to answer questions.

Estimado Frank muchas gracias por su visita fue un gusto hospedarlos, es muy importante aclarar para los lectores que el puente que menciona es el de la carretera pública a 6KM de distancia de nuestra propiedad no tienes nada que ver con nuestra ubicación y que Joshua les brindó asistencia para guiarlos por otra ruta para llegar al a nuestros ciudad.

We had an amazing stay at Raquel’s place! Joshua, the concierge, was super friendly and responsive—he even let us check in early after our flight, which was much appreciated. The house was just as pictured—beautiful, clean, and felt really homey. We loved relaxing by the pool and having working A/C in every room was a lifesaver in the heat. One of the coolest parts was spotting wildlife right on the property—sloths, iguanas, and even Pulgito, the sweet little Chihuahua who kept us company throughout our stay. The kitchen and outdoor space were perfect for winding down after our daily adventures. A huge highlight was our last morning when Raquel’s parents invited all 10 of us to an authentic homemade Costa Rican breakfast—it was incredibly generous and absolutely delicious. The only thing to note is that the property isn’t actually in La Fortuna as the map suggests—it’s about a 13-minute drive outside of town. But honestly, the beauty and hospitality made it more than worth it!

Great place to stay and have great family time. Wildlife and trail just behind the house

Our experience at Raquel’s home couldn’t have been better. The place was beautiful, as was the location, scenery and wildlife. Joshua was beyond helpful with everything we needed and more. We felt fully immersed in the culture. We had breakfast at her parents just down the road and they treated us like family. We could not have enjoyed ourselves more and cannot say anything but wonderful things about everyone we encountered during our stay. We would 100% recommend one of their beautiful homes and will stay with them again when we make it back to Costa Rica. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all for making our time in La Fortuna so special. We wish we didn’t have to leave. Until next time…

Raquel’s Green Paradise was perfect for our family of 7. We enjoyed our stay there. Her parents had us one morning for a lovely breakfast. Joshua was wonderful with his recommendations and answered any questions I had. I would stay here again 100%.

BOOK IT!!!!  This house is the most amazing place we’ve ever stayed.  It is gorgeous and unique and full of charm.  The people that own it and run it live nearby and are wonderful, welcoming, and helpful.  Book activities thru the host who is a concierge and can get a discount.  (We LOVED our tours, especially waterfall rappelling with Maquique!!). The location is perfect.  There is a stream and beautiful jungle surroundings and sloths like to hangout in the trees in front of the huge kitchen windows.  Paradise!

Our family of 11 had the most wonderful stay here! We loved being in the breath-taking rain forest and having our own private grounds and pool. The house was spacious, clean and comfortable. Thank you for a beautiful experience in Costa Rica!

This place was even more amazing than the pictures we had the best time from check in to check out. We definitely hope to come back soon! This house is absolutely amazing and you feel so taken care of. The breakfast was such an amazing touch and we love seeing the sloth as well as all of the lizards and other amazing animals and the walking trail was awesome!

This was by far the coolest Airbnb I've ever stayed at! The pictures are accurate, but they don't fully capture how cool the vibe of the property is. We saw sloths multiple days right outside the back door! The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the kitchen is huge and modern and has everything you need to cook full meals, and outside the back door is your own private rain forest with a nature walk included. The AC was cold & the pool was huge and very nice to use after a day of exploring. The security system added to the feeling of safety. You'll want a vehicle as it's about a 15 min drive into La Fortuna, but that was no problem for our group. Raquel's parents even cooked us a traditional Costa Rican breakfast at their property next door one morning! Will absolutely book this property again on our next trip to Costa Rica!

This was our second time staying at Raquel’s place . It was two families and it was perfect for us . All the rooms are spaced apart so you don’t feel crammed at all. The house is super clean and has so many toys and entertainment if you have little kids. Raquel’s mom made us breakfast And was so lovely ! We saw sloths in the backyard and their family dog candy who lives next door is a so sweet! My kids wanted to keep her . Can’t wait to stay at this place again soon .

Great place with a great host! Our group really enjoyed our stay there, the house has everything you might need and is also nicely located to enjoy privacy/nature whilst not being far from the restaurants and tours of La Fortuna. Special shoutout to Raquel’s dad as well who, along with her mum, invited us for breakfast on our first morning but then also took us for a walk around. I would strongly recommend.

This place was AMAZING. My family and I came here to celebrate my mom’s 50th birthday and we had such a great time. Joshua and Raquel are very quick at responding and give great recommendations. The house was beautiful and we got to see monkeys in the yard. Everybody felt right at home and very safe, it was so hard to leave. We will definitely be returning in the future. Thanks again to the best hospitality. ❤️

This is one of the best place we stayed as a group (9 of our close friends)..Great place,all instructions walk through done by the host Joshua,Spacious,Quiet and all amenities including washer/dryer in place.We come back again and We highly recommend this place for anyone coming to La fortuna.Must stay.

Beautiful home with all the amenities! Josh and Raquel were prompt with communication from the moment we booked. Recommendations and information about the area was provided with ease. The home was clean, thoughtfully decorated, and fully stocked. Plenty of linens, comfortable beds, and each room was spacious. There was a welcome basket of local goodies upon arrival along with waters for our stay. One of the mornings, Raquel's parents invited us to their home for a home cooked costa rican breakfast! It was delicious. The property wasn't located far from downtown but far enough away to allow us to enjoy the serene and beautiful nature around us. If we come back to La Fortuna, we would book here each and every time!!

We had a wonderful stay at Green Paradise Arenal. The house is spacious, with A/C in every room, and Raquel provided everything we could possibly want or need. She and Eddier were so welcoming and kind. The property has a beautiful pool and the patio overlooks a forest full of birds, butterflies, howler monkeys and sloths. We were very sad to leave.

Raquel’s place was so much more than we had hoped for. It exceeded all of our expectations and more. We were traveling as three families with a total of 13 people and her home was private, beautiful and felt like home when we arrived. Raquel and Joshua were super quick to respond when needed and Raquel’s dad lives on the property and will help if needed yet they provide ultimate privacy for your stay. The property worked well for three families plenty of dishes and living room space, large pool etc. we enjoyed three meals at Ruth’s table and each one was delicious, convenient and we enjoyed the homey feel. Monkeys in the back yard, sloths outside the kitchen windows, wonderful songs from the rainforest and you feel very enveloped in nature however we had no issues with pests in the house. I would highly recommend a stay at Raquel’s beautiful home. We even had a team of seven spa support come to give us facials and massage at a great price.

We loved seeing the sloths in the back yard.

Amazing stay. - AC worked well in all the rooms and the public areas - the house was VERY clean - kitchen stocked with lots of glasses, plates, etc and basic cooking necessities - patio was a VIBE - Looking directly to the forest behind the house. Saw a lot of animals there - check in/check out happened very smoothly - visiting dogs were a big hit - communication was so efficient - location was about 15 minutes from downtown. If not renting a car, I’d suggest asking the host to call you a taxi so they can explain the location to the driver since it’s a little tricky. Absolute amazing stay. Highly recommend

Our stay at Racquel's Airbnb was truly the best of the best !! The property is even more beautiful in person, and Racquel and her team went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. Communication was superb, making everything seamless and stress free. The traditional Costa Rican breakfast was delicious, and we loved the treat. The location is a paradise for nature lovers, with lots of animals around. The kids were thrilled to spot sloths right in the backyard—no need for a separate tour! The property is conveniently close to shops and hot springs, adding to the overall experience. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. You won’t regret it, and we can't wait to return !!

The property was fantastic. There was loads of space including a huge kitchen. The first morning there were two sloths on a tree 10 feet from one of the kitchen windows. On our last day, two macaws swooped in and landed in a tree next to the pool. During our stay, our hosts were extremely responsive regarding any questions. The location is actually 15 minutes from La Fortuna, but there mini-markets and a small bakery within a five minute drive. We highly recommend this house and the hosts.

Do yourself a favor and book this house, you won’t regret it! The house was clean and spacious, the pool was perfect for kids, the grounds were beautiful with tons of plants and animals to see, and both Raquel and Joshua were always fast to respond. Breakfast was hosted by Raquel’s boyfriend and father for us, it was delicious. Her father showed us around the property and where the sloths hang out, we saw the mom and a baby sloth almost daily outside of the kitchen windows and tons of different birds. We did miss out on Ruth cooking for us as she was on vacation but Raquel gave us plenty of recommendations for food and even brought us delicious arroz con pollo one day! Joshua set up our transfers whenever we needed one. Raquel had her family help babysit our daughters for a few hours and they took such good care of them. We loved it there!

Pura vida :) muy felices de que disfrutaran . ☺️los esperamos cuando gusten !

Consider yourself blessed to stay here! Green Paradise was perfect home for our 9 family members, especially for our almost 2 year old grandson! We made full use of the pool and collection of toys and baby equipment. Secluded enough to feel like our own private rainforest and just 15 minutes to La Fortuna for restaurants and shopping. The Sloth's Territory was just 10 minutes away~ highly recommend the early morning tour to see sloths and incredible birds. Raquel and Joshua made it their priority that all our needs before and during our stay were taken care of. Joshua helped arrange our transfer from SJO and later to Quepos. They both offered ideas for restaurants and activities. Raquel and her lovely family hosted a welcome breakfast our first morning. She also helped arrange to bring Chef Arturo and his team from Casa Paniagua to prepare two incredible delicious meals in the comfort of this home! Highly recommend this. Nothing better after a full day of touring.

Me alegro que te gustara tu estancia . Pura vida :)

This was a wonderful find, so relaxing and quiet, clean and comfortable. Fantastic location that's close to all the attractions but away from the hustle and bustle of town, so very peaceful. The view out of the kitchen and dining area is second to none. From this view, we got to see sloths and monkeys a couple of times. Thanks to Joshua and Raquel for everything. Joshua was so very helpful with any questions we had and his recommendations about the area were perfect. Raquel and her family are some of the nicest people that you will ever meet, we felt like family right away!! Definitely would recommend to anyone coming to the La Fortuna area. 5 stars all around.

OMG a wonderful location. Beautiful home and grounds. AC and fans worked great. Very friendly host and family. We had such a great time. 15 minute drive to La Fortuna. We saw a couple of large iguanas hanging in trees. Bonus was being visited by sweet small dogs Candy and Pulguito.

Don’t look any further for the perfect place to stay in Costa Rica! You will not be disappointed with Raquel’s place. She and Joshua were perfect hosts. Extremely responsive (I’m talking responses within minutes!). They addressed all questions and/or issues so quickly. They were helpful with restaurant recommendations, provided a discount code for excursions, the house is private and beautifully decorated, the pool is clean, the local pups that came to visit were so sweet, the jungle surroundings provided a peaceful spot for coffee each morning. We saw monkeys and a sloth right from the back porch, and it is all just a quick 10 minute drive to the bustling downtown La Fortuna. Raquel’s mom and dad invited us over for a beautiful traditional CR breakfast on our first morning. (Shout out to Ruth.. she is such a beautiful person with a kind soul). I was so sad when we left.. Raquel’s house is 10 out of 10 PERFECT! Thank you for everything! We’ll see you again! Pura Vida 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

This house was simply amazing! The master bedroom was huge, with plenty of beds and towels for the spotless pool. The home was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean—we were in awe! The kitchen was extremely well-stocked, and the AC worked perfectly for the hot summer days. We loved the wildlife around the property, adding to the true Costa Rican experience. Though there are three other houses on the property, privacy was never an issue. The only time we saw anyone was during the fantastic breakfast served by Ruth! The location was perfect—just 10 minutes to La Fortuna and close to hot springs, sloth tours, zip-lining, and more. The chihuahuas that visited us every morning were a big hit with the kids, as was feeding the birds from the back patio. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would love to return!

Easily one of the most beautiful and best airbnbs I stayed in. AC through the whole house. Beautiful grounds with its own walking trail. Huge kitchen huge bedrooms. Beautiful pool. Will be back!

We enjoyed our stay at Raquel’s very much! The place was clean and kitchen was well stocked with appliances and dishes. We enjoyed the breakfast we were invited to at her parent’s house. The pool was great to hang out in on the warm afternoons. Even got to see the sloth several times that lives on the property! The walking path on the property also allowed us to do our own nature walk and see frogs and birds as well! Also enjoyed seeing and visiting with their friendly chihuahuas! Would definitely stay her again! Only 15min into La Fortuna

Beautiful house with more than enough space for any big family or friends reunions. I can tell you a lot about the place which we were very satisfied with it but the reason why we would comeback it’s the host’s mom and their hospitality. That family is full of love that we did not want to go any other place but spending time with them. Very grateful for their hospitality, they went above and beyond.  If you want to experience the PURA VIDA, visit them!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The pictures do not do it justice. The house is huge! We were a group of 5 adults and 4 kids and we never felt cramped. They have so much kids stuff which is so helpful like a high chair, kids plates, cups, silverware, toys, etc! The hosts invited us over for breakfast one morning which was so nice and so yummy. There are beautiful trails around the house to walk on plus a nice pool! I would absolutely stay here again!

Everything was excellent! Raquel very kind, she was always looking to give the best service . The house is beautiful, better than the photos , spacious , stylish and very clean . If you're looking to relax with all the amenities in the middle of nature, this is the place  . I recommend you to order breakfast, it was abundant and tasty , having breakfast overlooking the forest was the best , the experience was perfect , we will definitely return .

Todo fue excelente! Raquel muy amable, siempre estuvo pendiente de dar el mejor servicio . La casa es preciosa, es mejor que las fotos , espaciosa , elegante y muy limpia . Si buscan relajarse con todas las comodidades en medio de la naturaleza este es el lugar  . Les recomiendo pedir el desayuno, fue abundante y sabroso , desayunar con vista al bosque fue de lo mejor , la experiencia fue perfecta , definitivamente volveremos .

This was one of the nicest homes we have ever stayed in! The house was large, homey and beautiful. We were greeted with a welcome basket of goodies. The yard was full of birds and wildlife and the pool was great! There was something for everyone! Our 5 year old granddaughter had toys provided, adults had hiking on the property, and we all enjoyed the big pool. The host was extremely friendly and helpful, providing us with great information about activities, restaurants, and shopping. They made us feel "right at home". 5 +++ stars!!

Excellent accommodations. Very spacious for family of 9. Kitchen was exceptional-well stocked and beautiful. Grounds were beautiful,  as was the pool. Highly recommend.

Wonderful stay! Would highly recommend. Great hosts! We loved the personally touches, Christmas tree, fun decor, great pool, friendly people. The breakfast at Ruth’s house was a highlight and the tamales! Loved the recommendations and help planning our experiences!

Beautiful home and grounds! Helpful and easy to work with. Would definitely book again.

The property is beautiful, safe, and impeccably clean, with a location that's conveniently close to everything. The forest trail behind the property was a true highlight for me—so much so that it alone makes me want to return for another visit.

Beautiful house! I  would definitely go back and would easily recommend. Seeing the sloths just behind the house in the morning was a huge bonus. A+++

We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place!

This house comes with concierge services that are absolutely amazing! Thank you Josue for all your help! The house itself saves you the sloth tour as in a walk outside the house you see sloths… huge space for everyone, unbelievably huge. Basically 4 standalone living units attached through a common living area and huge kitchen. Definitely recommend it with all my heart.

Raquel’s place was absolutely amazing with all the modern amenities. We were 12 ladies who travelled to celebrate my sister’s 60th birthday.  We arrived to a beautiful birthday cake, balloons and lots of other special touches. The home is spacious, well equipped and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with local spices & snacks. We were 12 and did not feel cramped and had plenty of room to spread out. The concierge, Joshua is a great addition to the home. The response rate from both Joshua and Raquel was minutes. The grounds are lush, green with amazing views. The family of sloths, the monkeys & variety of birds all add to the beauty of this home. Raquel & her parents are superb hosts. They even invited us to their home to enjoy an authentic Costa Rican breakfast. I did not give them more than a 5 star rating because of the limits imposed by Airbnb. We will absolutely return. Gracias Raquel!

The house is very large and convenient, every room has its own bathroom, the kitchen is fully equipped and the rooms have everything you need. Outside the house there is a beautiful river, the pool is very nice and big as well. Raquel was very nice and responsive, she also invited us to a great breakfast.

This was a perfect stop on our trip. We especially enjoyed the pool and beautiful nature around the house. Thank you!

Beautiful private place. Good distance away from the downtown.

Amazing home, looks even better in person! Joshua is a great help as concierge as well. He really helped us with everything. Raquel even came by and dropped off homemade tamales that were amazing! Overall wonderful experience from the home itself to the assistance of booking tours (communicating pickup from the airbnb with the excursion crew, promo codes). This airbnb gave everything and more!

It was a wonderful stay. The house and the property is massive, so there was plenty of space. Miss Raquel and Joshua were extremely responsive. They even hosted a breakfast for us on our first morning, which was a delightful touch. We would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely loved this place and the hosts are great. Would definitely go back

This house is amazing, the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. It is like having a resort all to yourself. Everything you need to enjoy yourself is there, it is beautiful inside and majestic outside. We saw sloths, monkeys, and hummingbirds right next to the beautiful covered patio. Every living space, the bedrooms, kitchen, and living room, all have air conditioning. The furniture is very comfortable, and the house is very, very spacious. The surrounding jungle has a trail from the house, that is beautifully landscaped, where you can see the best flora and fauna that Costa Rica has to offer. You could have the entire experience of La Fortuna without leaving this house. The large pool is amazing, and it is also surrounded by beautiful plants. If it was possible to give this house ten stars, I would. You will absolutely love this property. Lastly, the host was extremely responsive. We highly recommend this house!
