This property is just amazing. This was my second time renting this place and will likely rent again in the future. It feels private and secure while surrounded by nature and overall peace. The pool is amazing for both kids and grown ups, the house is beautiful and the rooms are private. Every afternoon you can see lapas flying by and I n the morning you can see lots of birds around. There is a short trail that is the perfect way to start the day. Great property overall!

The accommodation is very nice, very private and surrounded by nature. The granddaughters enjoyed the pool very much. The only problem we noticed was the noise from the trucks on the road.

Absolutely in love with our stay!. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how spacious, and well taken care of the property was. The layout was ideal for our family, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The outdoor space was a breath taking show stopper—beautiful views, the kids had a blast in the pool, and there was plenty of seating for everyone to enjoy meals, morning coffee, or sunset conversations together. It genuinely felt like our own private resort. What really set this stay apart was how effortless everything felt. Traveling with a large family can sometimes be chaotic, but this home made it easy to relax, connect, and truly enjoy our vacation. I got to enjoy my coffee every morning with a view, kids got to play in the pool, grandparents got to escape the heat by relaxing inside when needed. It was perfect all the way around. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone planning a group or family trip. It exceeded our expectations

We had a lovely week with the family! A wonderful place! The house caretaker, Juan, was very attentive and brought us mangos and coconuts for everyone. Everyone loved the pool! A great place for bird watching! Not far from things to do! We felt safe! Diana responded promptly to our requests. We recommend this magical place.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this villa in Carara, Costa Rica. This is actually our second time choosing this home, and it truly feels like a place we can keep coming back to. The house is stunning — beautifully designed, surrounded by breathtaking nature, and offering that perfect mix of luxury and tranquility that Costa Rica is known for. What makes this villa especially valuable for us is how safe and comfortable it is for children. Traveling with kids in Costa Rica can be challenging when it comes to finding a truly secure and family-friendly home — but this place delivers. We felt at ease the entire time, which is incredibly important for our family. Everything was thoughtfully maintained, clean, and well-organized. You can really feel the care that goes into this property. Costa Rica is an incredibly beautiful destination, and finding a home like this makes the experience even more special. We highly recommend this villa and are already looking forward to coming back

We stayed at Paradiso for a week with family and friends to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday. We all had such a wonderful time. The property is beautifully maintained and we had daily sightings of scarlet macaws flying overhead and so many different species of birds that visited the fruit trees on the property. The pool was a hit with the kids as well as the adults. The house is conveniently located right off of a highway but it still felt private since it is located atop a hill. The ground keeper, Juan was always available if we had any issues. There were power outages and water pump issues but they were taken care of almost immediately. The drive to Jaco or beaches can take a while depending on the traffic so make sure to give yourselves a plenty of time before headed out to a scheduled excursion. All in all, we were looking for a peaceful and restful vacation and Paradiso definitely delivered. We hired chef Bruno based on Diana's recommendation and he did not disappoint. :)
