Wonderful property/house very close to the main road and beaches in the area but still has that secluded jungle feel foliage with several types of monkeys greeting you. No 4X4 needed to access the property. Great attentive and responsive host! Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

My friends and I planned our annual trip to Costa Rica this year, and all I can say is WOW—Rita Paradise and the entire team exceeded every expectation. I truly can’t express how much we appreciated everything they did for us. From start to finish, the communication was seamless. Every recommendation, activity, and detail was thoughtfully handled. I know I asked a lot of questions, but they never missed a beat—always responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in making our trip perfect. They coordinated everything for us, from ATVs and zip lining to arranging Chef Emilio and all of our transportation (pickups and drop-offs), which made the entire experience effortless. And the home itself… absolutely incredible. The location is pure peace—tucked into the jungle, surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful wildlife. Waking up to the sounds of nature, seeing monkeys and birds nearby, and just taking in the views made it feel like a true escape. I can’t wait to come back! 🫶🫶

Where to start.. Adi the host was the most friendly, helpful person you could ever meet. Lots of recommendations and organised taxi's and a fishing trip with a local fisherman which is a must do! we caught a tuna and had it for dinner, so delicious. The property is stunning, the pictures are true but in person the location and property is even more stunning! The sunsets from the pool area is the best location to watch, every evening our family sat and watched. The wildlife at this location is amazing, monkeys, lizards, humming birds and much more seen from the gardens. The kitchen was well equipped, the wifi was excellent, the bedrooms were spacious and clean, beds super comfy and the outside shower to the main bedroom was a big hit! The local bar at the bottom of the hill was great with live music, fire dancers most nights, the Italian next to this was delicious, the supermarket was well stocked and 5 mins from property. The main town is only only 5 minutes on an atv. love love love!

We had a fantastic stay in Malpaís. The house is private and tucked among the trees, and we had both floors for our group of family and friends. Every day we spotted howler and white-faced monkeys, as well as beautiful birds. We loved renting four-wheelers to explore new beaches and waterfalls every day. We walked to buy groceries and fresh local fish, and enjoy the wonderful Italian restaurant and the local brewery. The pool was incredibly relaxing with all you need to float the day away and we could easily walk to some beaches. Our host Ivana was amazing, helping us arrange everything from four-wheeler rentals to a magical bioluminescence experience. She helped us schedule anything we wanted to do, including a nearby zip line tour. Next time we stay, we might just take the shuttle from the airport (easy and safe) and rent the four wheelers the whole time! We went everywhere on them. Overall, it was a perfect, relaxing and unforgettable holiday stay that we’d highly recommend.

Perfect place for a family getaway. We were 10 guests, including two minor children, two college kids and one grand parent. Great location for all ages. It was quite easy to find, close to the beach and a lot of tourist options. The house was exactly as described and well equipped. On nights we didn't go out, we barbecued on the upstairs balcony or out by the pool. The air conditioning was top notch and quickly cooled off the place after a long day out exploring. Even though it is a popular tourist area, the neighborhood was always quiet and always felt safe. The real standout was the host, Adi. We regularly sent him messages requesting information or tips for the area and he always responded immediately with great ideas and suggestions. He set us up with a local fisherman who took us out and we caught 5 huge yellowfin tuna. Such an amazing experience and a great place to stay.

Our family had a lovely stay at Pacific Azure. Adi was super attentive and responsive and was available any time we needed anything. The house fully stocked, it's tucked away and very private and we felt very safe and comfortable the entire time. We had a baby and 2 small children with us and having the a split home was more than ideal with a lower unit serving as the quiet house and the upper unit as the play and hang space. The house is close to Mal Pais beach and very close to Santa Teresa. We would certainly stay here again.

My parents, siblings and our kids all stayed this past week and had an amazing time! The house was a perfect size for us all to sleep comfortably. Was so great that each couple had their own big bathroom. Kitchens were fully stocked enough for us to make a couple of our own meals. The balcony on the second floor was such a great place to have coffee and watch the butterflies and iguanas! In the early evening the monkeys came out to swing in the trees. We also got to see agoutis! The pool was heavenly! Adi, our host even arranged for us to have two masseuse come and give us massages under the outdoor patio! Adi was such a great host. Gave us plenty of privacy but was fast and responsive if we needed anything. The grounds were beautiful and the pics don’t do it justice. We all felt very safe the whole week. One night we even walked to the nearby brewery for dinner and walked back late with my 11 year old and never ever felt unsafe. Would definitely stay here again!

I can’t say enough great things about our stay here! Adi was incredible- he was there to help us check in and give us a tour and was extremely responsive to any questions we had throughout the stay. He set up transfers to and from the airport for us and ATV rentals that were there when we arrived at the house. The house was perfect for my 30th birthday celebration with friends! Close to the beach and a quick ATV ride to Santa Teresa to enjoy all the restaurants and bars. Loved that it was a little removed from the busy-ness of Santa Teresa- very peaceful and serene. The pool was beautiful and the entire property was just incredible. I can’t wait to come back and stay again! Highly highly recommend booking here!
