What an amazing place. One where you see local wildlife flourish! Macau, toucan, monkeys, squirrels, etc.. The view from the pool is breathtaking. Definitely recommend this place to anyone.

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.

La estancia es muy bonita, muy privada y rodeada de naturaleza, la piscina la disfrutaron mucho las nietas. El único problema que le vimos es el ruido de los camiones en la carretera

This Airbnb is very beautiful, just as shown in the photos. It has beautiful views, and we found the house to be impeccable. The instructions they gave us for everything were very clear and everything was very organized. We hope to come back soon! Thank you very much

Este Airbnb es muy bello, justo como en las fotos. Tiene vistas hermosas y la casa la encontramos impecable. Las instrucciones que nos dieron para todo estuvieron muy claras y todo muy organizado. Esperamos volver pronto! Muchas gracias

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

Una casa espectacular por donde la quieran ver

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.

Nous avons passé une très belle semaine en famille!  Un endroit merveilleux!  Le gardien de la maison Juan était très attentionné et nous a apporté des mangues et des noix de coco pour tout le monde. La piscine a été appréciée de tous! Un bon endroit pour observer les oiseaux! Pas loin des activités! On se sentait en sécurité! Diana a répondu rapidement à nos demandes. Nous recommandons cet endroit magique.

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. :)

It's beautiful, cozy, family-friendly, and quiet. We really liked it!

El es precioso, acogedor, familiar y tranquilo, nos gusto mucho!

Great accommodation, very spacious and very well equipped. The location is also very good.

Super logement très grand et très complet. l'emplacement est très bon également

My friends and I stayed her for our bachelorette. We were a group of 6 and had plenty of space to relax and hang out. The views are incredible and looked like a screensaver. The AC in each room were great and kept everything really cool.

We loved everything about this place, the house is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and with very comfortable beds, AC in all the rooms and common areas, the kitchen is spacious and with everything you need, the place was impeccable when we arrived. The pool is another highlight, from which you can see the sunset, the surroundings of the house are also beautiful, we liked being able to go out and walk around the property in the mornings. Diana and Natalie were always attentive to make our stay pleasant, Don Juan, the property manager, was also extremely kind, he helped us a lot on a couple of occasions, always with a great disposition. I definitely recommend this place, my family and I had a great time.

Nos encantó todo sobre éste lugar, la casa es preciosa, las habitaciones amplias y con camas muy confortables, AC en todas las habitaciones y zonas comunes, la cocina espaciosa y con todo lo necesario, el lugar estaba impecable cuando llegamos. La piscina es otro de los puntos altos, desde la cuál se puede apreciar el atardecer, los alrededores de la casa son tambien hermosos, nos gustó poder salir a recorrer la propiedad caminando por las mañanas. Diana y Natalie estuvieron siempre atentas para que nuestra estadía fuera agradable, don Juan el encargado de la propiedad también fue sumamente amable, nos ayudó muchísimo en un par de ocasiones siempre con una gran disposición. Recomiendo sin lugar a dudas éste lugar, mí familia y yo la pasamos súper bien.

The house was as shown in the photos and Diana was available the whole time.

La casa era tal cual como en las fotos y Diana estuvo pendiente todo el rato.

Diana's villa is a true paradise. The pictures of the courtyard don't do the beauty of the place justice. The interior is comfortable, well air-conditioned and clean. The kitchen is not very well equipped, but that's the only negative thing. In addition, at the slightest problem, Diana responds extremely quickly and Juan, the caretaker of the premises, offers exceptional personalized service. We stayed 10 days and would have liked to have stayed 10 more days. Thank you for hosting us, we will definitely be back!

La villa de Diana est un véritable paradis. Les photos de la cours ne rendent pas justice à la beauté du lieu. L’intérieur est confortable, bien climatisé et propre. La cuisine n’est pas très bien équipé, mais c’est la seule chose négative. De plus, au moindre problème, Diana répond extrêmement rapidement et Juan, le gardien des lieux, offre un service personnalisé exceptionnel. Nous sommes restés 10 jours et nous aurions aimé rester 10 jours supplémentaires. Merci pour votre accueil, nous reviendrons assurément!

It's a great place! Lots of nature, private! The place is Top

I loved everything, beautiful, I would only put the lights on the terrace, one of the bulbs barely lights up but spectacular

Me encantó todo precioso solo pondría las luces en la terraza uno los bombillos casi no alumbran pero espectacular

This was a beautiful home accommodation we’re fantastic for myself and my large group! The views were amazing and the access to nature and in house feel was just the best! Diana was very responsive throughout my stay and the grounds keeper was also extremely helpful! Such a gem of a place!

What a fantastic weekend getaway! I absolutely loved my stay at this house. The place was even more beautiful than the photos. It was clear that the owners put a lot of thought into every detail the decor was lovely and the space was so comfortable and inviting. I truly felt at home and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable trip. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

The place is super nice, clean and had everything we needed

El lugar es súper bonito, limpio y tenía todo lo que necesitábamos

The property is perfect, the house is nice and modern, it is surrounded by nature and amenities such as the tennis court and the trail are great additions. The pool is great and we love that we could see limpets constantly flying over us. I would definitely come back, I loved my stay!

La propiedad es perfecta, la casa es linda y moderna, está rodeada de naturaleza y las amenidades como la cancha de tenis y el sendero son grandes adiciones. La piscina es genial y amamos que pudimos ver lapas volando constantemente sobre nosotros. Definitivamente volvería, amé mi estancia!

My girls group and I stayed here while in Costa Rica celebrating my birthday, the house was absolutely beautiful when we arrived, actually the pictures were great but on arrival in person, the house was stunning, the views of the pool area overlooking the mountain terrain were to die for. bedrooms were clean and well sized, bathrooms were lovely, the house had alot of space throughout. Juan the Caretaker was very nice and helpful, he made us feel right at home. I absolutely loved the gated community and the fact that each person is verified prior to entry. The property is well maintained and we enjoyed our morning walk around the spacious yard. Diana and Natalie were very helpful, their recommendations of driver and adventure park, restaurants and shops were on point. I highly recommend this house without reservation and looking forward to my next stay.

Wonderful big house with amazing pool close to Carara National Park and the Tarcoles river. We loved the pool and amazing view. Fully equiped kitchen and comfi beds. We had an issue with a leaking AC which was fixed the moment we reported it. Wonderful stay

A very large box with all the amenities. A quiet and private place to spend a few days with the family. The house is very spacious and the maintenance staff are very friendly and helpful. A place I would definitely go back to with my family.

Una caja muy grande con todas las comodidades. Un lugar tranquilo y privado para pasar unos dias en familia. La casa es muy amplia y el personal de mantenimiento es muy amable y servicial. Un lugar al que volveria sin duda con mi familia.

Absolutely amazing! The house and view were gorgeous! I highly recommend

Excellent communication from Diana and also from Juan Carlos, very attentive. The place is incredibly good. The pool is very nice and the view from it is stunning. Recommended for families

Excelente comunicación por parte de Diana y tambien de Juan Carlos, muy atentos. El lugar increíblemente bien. La piscina muy bonita y la vista desde ella es impresionante. Recomendado para familias

The place is beautiful and overall everything was great, very good cleaning, comfortable beds, perfect location. The only thing is that the internet is not good. But after that, everything was perfect

El lugar es hermoso y en general todo estuvo muy bien, muy buena limpieza, camas cómodas, ubicación perfecta. Lo único es que el internet no es bueno. Pero después de ahí todo estuvo perfecto

Amazing place, no complaints the views are amazing and host replies as soon as possible felt right at home.

The villa is magical. It sits on top of a hill which offers amazing views. Definitely going to be coming back!

Beautiful place to rest with the family, comfortable, spacious, quiet and safe!

Precioso lugar para descansar en familia, cómodo, espacioso, tranquilo y seguro!

Diana‘s Carara house was a great stay… beautiful home, well maintained, fully stocked kitchen!  Juan Carlos (grounds keeper) was great… even chopped some coconuts for us!  The back covered patio and rancho were awesome and gave a ton more living space… outside! Very close to Jaco and Orotina for beach and dining options.  We would definitely stay again!

Diana's place is amazing. The house is large, spacious and offers all the amenities. The pool area and the ranch are beautiful, you can't ask for anything more for a comfortable and quiet stay. Clearly it is a place to return to again and again.

El alojamiento de Díana está increíble. La casa es grande, espaciosa y ofrece todas las comodidades. El área de la piscina y el rancho son bellísimas , no se puede pedir nada más para una estancia cómoda y tranquila. Claramente es un lugar para regresar una y otra vez.

The house is beautiful, just as seen in the photos. Very private and with everything you need to enjoy.

La casa es preciosa, tal y como se ve en las fotos. Muy privado y con todo lo necesario para disfrutar.

I would like to refer to the house as an incredible experience in a quiet, beautiful and very well designed property to enjoy a family vacation, the pool and jacuzzi were spectacular, enjoying the sunsets next to the edge of the infinity pool was something to remember, the house perfectly furnished, comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. Perfect place to disconnect and relax. I highly recommend it, and thanks to the hosts who made their home our home

Quisiera referirme a la casa como una experiencia increible en una propiedad tranquila ,hermosa y muy bien diseñada para disfrutar de unas vacaciones en familia, la piscina y el jacuzzi espectaculares ,disfrutar los atardeceres junto al borde de la piscina infinita fue algo para recordar, la casa perfectamente amueblada,camas cómodas y baños limpios . Lugar perfecto para desconectarse y relajarse lo recomiendo muchísimo,y gracias a las anfitrionas que hicieron su casa nuestra casa

Everything was great except the grill, only part of it works

Muy bien todo salvo la parrilla solo le funciona una parte

Excellent house, super large, spacious, with incredible views and very quiet. As soon as you enter the property, you feel the peace and how incredible the place is. Excellent to share with the whole family, everyone can have their space and at the same time be able to spend time together. The kitchen had everything and was super easy to use. The pool is large and clean. It has many spaces that can be used, the tennis court, being able to go out into nature. The BBQ area is spacious and has everything you need. It really is an amazing house.

Excelente casa, super grande, espaciosa, con vistas increibles y con mucha tranquilidad. Desde que uno entra a la propiedad, se siente la paz y lo increible que es el lugar. Excelente para compartir con toda la familia, cada uno puede tener su espacio y al mismo tiempo poder pasar juntos. La cocina tenia todo y super facil de usar. La piscina grande y limpia. Tiene muchos espacios que se pueden usar, la cancha de tenis, poder ir a la naturaleza. El area de BBQ espaciosa y con todo lo que se necesita. La verdad es una casa increible.

The outdoor patio / pool area at the house was unmatched. So many areas to hang out and connect with family. The wooden tables were gorgeous and the decor was not skimped on like many rental properties. One of our favorite parts was using the grill and eating meals in the patio where there was always a slight breeze coming through. The birds right on the property were impressive. We saw macaws and toucans right from the backyard.

Beautiful house, very comfortable rooms, large pool. Everything is great.

Hermosa casa, cuartos muy comodos, piscina grande. Todo muy bien.

The property itself was very clean and peaceful with breathtaking views, walking path, surrounded by nature... views, sounds, butterflies, bugs, and wildlife. It was secluded yet close to local restaurants with delicious food and within 30 minutes of the beach and amazing tours and activities. The pool overlooking pure nature with pristine sunset views over the canopy was divine. I appreciate that the host was very responsive and recommended different local tours and activities and helped us set them up...ziplining, horseback riding, day cruise to Tortuga island with snorkeling, and going to a private beach with white sand and mellow waves. Our overall stay was nothing short of magical and the host and the property added to that. My family would love to stay here again. The outside paths and pool were cleaned daily as bugs and debris would collect. But the on site property maintenance guy always kept it clean and was helpful in getting coconuts and hard to reach fruits for us.

We loved Diana's place, the o ly negative thing I could say was the master bedrooms  mini split was throwing a code and randomly not cooling. The mini split in the first room has a condensation pump in the bedroom and it's pretty loud. I wish there was a ice maker. The front entry door was a pain.  Sometimes our GPS had a hard time getting us back to theAIRBNB.The no flushing toilet paper became a hassle with the heat and humidity. Besides those things the property was absolutely beautiful and we loved the wildlife there. We seen so much on the property including  monkeys in the distant , scorpions, tarantulas, frogs,  lizards etc. My fav part was the macaws flying over the property every morning. One thing I learned about Costa Rica is everything closes early so I personally wouldn't stay in one location for the whole duration of a trip. I'd hotel hop to take advantage of the time there instead. every day we had to drive 2/3 hours 1way for activity's. Yes we would recommend.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear about the AC issue. If you had let us know during your stay, we would have gladly looked into it right away to ensure your comfort. Regarding the toilet paper rule, it is outlined in our house rules to prevent any plumbing issues and ensure the smooth operation of the facilities.  We strive to ensure our guests have a comfortable experience, and we appreciate your input.

I enjoyed the outside space a lot.  It was great to get in the pool with my grandson and swim to the edge and view the mountains.  There were a lot of tucans that flew over head.  We also enjoyed the tennis courts.

Our experience here was beautiful and magical!  The comfortable house was the perfect size for our family of 7, and could have accommodated more.  The grounds are luxury resort quality, with a huge outdoor living space.  There was plenty of seating/lounging on the huge covered patio, plenty of places for us to sit, eat, and play games outdoors, even when it was raining.  There are lots of fruit trees, and we couldn't believe how huge the mango trees were!  Juan even climbed one to shake out some ripe ones for us!  Seeing the scarlet macaws fly by every morning, and then returning in the evening to the jungle below was magical. We could hear the howler monkeys from the jungle below, too.  We really enjoyed the kiskadees and the orange chinned parakeets,  and the songs of many more.  The location in Carara was great--lots to see and do within 30 minutes drive.  The Soda just across and down the street a short distance was very convenient, and our meals were fantastic.

Very nice place, excellent to enjoy with friends, family to relax. The house has all the necessary utensils, Diana is very kind, we will definitely return to this place!

Muy lindo el lugar, excelente para disfrutar con los amigos, la familia para relajarse. La casa tiene todo los utensilios necesarios, diana es muy amable, definitivamente volveremos a este lugar!

We have traveled to CR 4 times now. We had a total of 9 people, and the accommodations were incredible. This may be the best place that we’ve stayed anywhere! The house was perfectly furnished, comfortable beds, AC cool in the bedrooms, clean and amazing pool, lots of kitchen supplies, good internet, beautiful surroundings, and so picturesque! It was hard to believe we had it all to ourselves. Easily accessible and off the main highway to everything. It took us 1 1/2 hours to Manuel Antonio, 30 minutes to Jaco, and 1 1/2 hours to San Jose. Best place to stay and an amazing location to experience several things CR has to offer!

Excellent corner to enjoy with family and friends, quality of amenities

Excelente rincón para disfrutar en familia y con amigos, calidad de amenidades

A very nice place and very comfortable.,, we hope to return soon

It is a place  to be in touch with nature, to dream, share with others and with yourself.

Es un lugar  para estar en contacto con la naturaleza, para soñar, compartir con otros y consigo mismo.

This place is simply beautiful. It has absolutely everything you need to feel at home, super clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. Our favorite part was the pool and all the bird species we saw throughout our stay, including lapas. Diana and her team were always attentive and willing to help us with whatever we needed. It's the perfect place to disconnect without losing the comforts, super recommended.

Este lugar es sencillamente hermoso. Tiene absolutamente todo lo necesario para sentirte como en casa, súper limpio, cómodo y con muy buen gusto en la decoración. Nuestra parte favorita fue la piscina y todas las especies de aves que vimos a lo largo de nuestra estadía, incluyendo lapas. Diana y su equipo fue siempre atento y anuente a ayudarnos en lo que necesitáramos. Es el lugar perfecto para desconectarse sin perder las comodidades, súper recomendado.

Great vacation the p’ace is amazing tbe view the pool the bedrooms everything was just fantastic Thank you to Diana who help me book activities got my family

We loved every minute of our stay in Diana’s house. It is beautiful, spacious and well-designed for a family or multiple guests. The pool was delightful, the grounds were gorgeous and the caretaker was wonderful- making sure the pool was clean and ready each morning. There are lots of restaurants and activities in the area - great location! I highly recommend this property to others! Thanks Diana for a delightful stay!

This place was very clean host was very helpful and easy to communicate with very beautiful place

We stayed two couples for 1 week.  Great villa, well situated, easy access and beautiful view and pool. Responsive hosts. We would happily rent again.

My family and I had the most amazing time. The house was spotless. The laundry room was an added bonus so we could do some laundry. There was so much room for us all. The grounds keeper was very friendly and worked so hard keeping the pool area and yard well maintained. Natalie and Diana responded very quickly to all our questions. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back in future!

This is a wonderful property for those who are looking for relax,  the place has astonishing views, my family and I really enjoy staying here

An exceptional experience! This house is simply beautiful, far outweighing our expectations. The team was extremely friendly and the communication was impeccable at all times. Photos fail to capture the true beauty and comfort of this place. I 100% recommend this property! We can't wait to come back soon and enjoy this wonderful experience again.

¡Una experiencia excepcional! Esta casa es simplemente preciosa, superando con creces nuestras expectativas. El equipo fue extremadamente amable y la comunicación fue impecable en todo momento. Las fotos no logran capturar la verdadera belleza y comodidad de este lugar. ¡Recomiendo al 100% esta propiedad! Estamos ansiosos por volver pronto y disfrutar nuevamente de esta maravillosa experiencia.

Perfect House! Very Beautiful view, clean house ! Very friendly owner, get respond very fast ! I highly recommend this beautiful home , I come back to this home again! Thank you 🙏🏻

The grounds keeper made the entire stay. without him and his incredible dedication to maintaining the grounds, the house would not be what it is today. The property management group responds within an hour usually of receiving messages. we did have issues with the home like an AC unit stopped working in a bedroom and the front door handle snapped when we used it. They did get it fixed quickly. The washer and dryer are in desperate need of being replaced and are located in another pavilion so it's an outside walk. The grounds are nice if you leave the walking trail, but it is very hilly so not easily accessible. We found the home to be fairly small, the grounds are what make this property the most appealing. We were not aware until arriving that you cannot flush toilet paper..we did not have that issue at other locations through Costa Rica so it was a surprise and adjustment. It would be nice to have had a playset or high chair available for the kids.

We're glad that you enjoyed our well maintained grounds. Juan, our dedicated caretaker, truly takes pride in ensuring the beauty of our gardens. We're surprised by your mention of the portable crib and our policy on flushing toilet paper. We had a portable crib set up in the main bedroom before your arrival. We strive to communicate our guidelines clearly in our house rules, which are available to guests before booking. The instruction about not flushing t.p. is detailed in our profile. In CR, sensitive plumbing is common, we provide lidded trash cans in each bathroom to maintain our septic system.

This place is stunning! Private, close to beaches and many local restaurants and  souvenirs shops that are very affordable! Diana was an amazing host and answered all my questions and concerns! Would love to come here again!

Diana was AMAZING! She was super helpful and super responsive from start to finish. She sent recommendations on excursions helped us with every thing we asked and responded very fast! If we needed help people were on site and were there within minutes to fix it. She helped us with transport to and from the airport and he also transported us to excursions and around the island whenever we needed...Brian was AMAZING!! Super thankful for him. She also recommended a private chef at the house Chef Pablo and his food was amazing!!  The property is clean and in a gated space so very safe. We got to see some pretty cool wildlife in the backyard as well. We appreciate and loved our stay! Me and my 5 friends had a great stay! Thanks for everything Diana! The space is very kid friendly as well cute little kid chairs on the patio btw!

Amazing stay! Pictures don’t do it justice.

We loved the place, super clean and well equipped!!!

Nos encantó el lugar, súper limpio y bien equipado!!!

We have stayed in the area multiple times and this was a great convenient location that we highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit Costa Rica

Everything is excellent, the only thing is that check-out is very early.

Todo excelente, lo único es que el check out es muy temprano.

Nos entristece saber que, a pesar de haber tenido una excelente estadía, nos haya calificado con 4 estrellas. Nos gustaría aclarar que la hora de check-out se estableció claramente al momento de la reserva y usted aceptó esta condición. Lamentamos cualquier inconveniente causado, pero es importante que cumplamos nuestros compromisos con otros huéspedes y aseguremos una limpieza adecuada para las llegadas posteriores.

The place was very nice, very big and all areas quite clean!

El lugar estaba muy lindo, muy grande y todas las áreas bastante limpias!

We had a fantastic stay and truly recommend it.   Was very peaceful with beautiful views.   Oscar and his wife were friendly and helpful.   Can’t wait to go back.

Diana was wonderful in communicating with us if we had a problem or questions she responded and fixed the problem within 15 minutes or less. Oscar that lives in the property is the gardener. He is wonderful. The only problem we had is that Oscar does not speak English and we do not speak Spanish. But very friendly and helpful. Place is beautiful and very relaxing. Perfect for family relax time.  Definitely would come back to the house if we ever go back. The only thing I would be upgrade is the washer and dryer and maybe new tennis balls.

This house was very nice and an incredible place to stay with an amazing view. Very close to lots of fun activities. I would love to stay here again.

We had a great time staying with Diana's house; the house was clean, the grounds beautiful and the place very peaceful. We spoke a lot with Oscar and his family, who take care of the maintenance of the place, and they shared some typical Costa Rican dishes with us. We were very sad to leave. There are many things to do in the surrounding area as well.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Diana; la maison était propre, le terrain magnifique et l’endroit très paisible. Nous avons beaucoup parlé avec Oscar et sa famille, qui s’occupent de l’entretien des lieux, et ils nous ont partagé des plats typiques du Costa Rica. Nous étions bien tristes de partir. Il y a beaucoup d’activités à faire dans les environs également.

We had an amazing time staying here! We were 8 adults and a 1 year old and we always felt like there was plenty of space to relax and enjoy. The location is a great jumping-off point for different local attractions, but not super walkable. We had 2 rental cars which made it easy to get around. Diana has a great guide to local attractions that she shares once you confirm your booking. She also booked things for us and shared all the information we needed to have an easy, stress-free vacation. She was always quick to respond and take care of whatever issues we had. I highly recommend the CostaCat 1 day tour of Tortuga Island, the Crocodile tour and a private cooked meal by Chef Pablo. The kitchen had bare essentials so if you're like us and prefer to cook some meals plan on bringing or buying any pantry staples. Oscar was more than happy to take any leftover food we had at the end of the week. Overall a super relaxing and fun vacation and we hope we can return!

Diana's place was incredible. It was the perfect fit for our family vacation of 8 people and we thoroughly enjoyed using all the amenities (including the pool and tennis court). All the bedrooms were spotless when we arrived and the bathrooms were especially clean. Not only is the place stunning throughout the day, but Oscar, was extremely kind to get us oranges to make orange juice, and tender coconut to drink. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone who decides to visit Costa Rica and the Garabito area. We will hopefully return soon!

Diana’s hacienda was beautiful, it was everything we wanted for a peaceful and private getaway but yet close to nearby towns and restaurants. She was an absolute doll in scheduling transportation and local experiences. We highly recommend this Airbnb, it’s just good to note that all windows and doors auto lock so it’s VERY easy to lock yourself out. Other than that, the perfect experience!

This house is simply amazing! It is now my new favorite house available on AirBnb and I hope to be back soon! Simply amazing stay with my family, thank you..!!!

We highly recommend this place!!! The picture do not do justice because the place is amazing. Diana was an amazing host!!! From the moment we booked the place, she went above and beyond giving us all great information and answering all of our questions right away. Oscar and Marisol are amazing, they made our stay extra special by going above and beyond and making us feel like we were right at home. Oscar every morning will greet us and made sure he got us fresh coconuts and will ask if we need anything else. Overall this was the best trip me and friends had and it was all thanks to Diana, Oscar and Marisol!!!!

Excellent communication and Don Oscar was very kind, the house was super and very private... we had a great time.

Excelente comunicación y Don Oscar muy amable, la casa estaba super y muy privado... la pasamos muy bien.

The house is spectacular, with all the amenities, my family and I enjoyed it too much, the pool, the ranch and the tranquility of the place are unbeatable. The interaction and communication with Diana 100 out of 100. We hope to be back soon.

La casa es espectacula, con todas las comodidades, mi familia y yo disfrutamos demasiado, la piscina, el rancho y la tranquilidad del lugar son inmejorables. El trato y la comunicación con Diana 100 de 100. Esperamos volver pronto.

the house is the same as in the photos , perfect to go with the family. It is fully equipped. It has a ranch for barbecues. The internet is fast. The living room screen has Netflix , Amazon prime, Disney+    the pool and Jacuzzi. The best. We'll be back soon. Diana's treatment was 10

Excellent location, ideal for resting, relaxing and connecting with nature.

Excelente ubicación, ideal para descansar relajarse y conectar con la naturaleza.

This place is absolutely amazing! Diana is always available for any questions (restaurants, excursions, transportation, etc) the location was amazing but it’s about 30 minutes from everything so transportation really took a toll on us! But the home alone makes you feel like you don’t even need to leave! It’s so serene! Fresh fruits and coconuts yummmmm!

This house is breathtaking it's beautiful and perfect for a large group. This house is located in the middle of the jungle so yes there is insects and that should be expected. I don't let them bother me 🙂 lol I will definitely consider this house again if I return to Costa Rica.

My family and I stayed here for a month and I have to say that the best thing about this house is Diana and that's saying a lot because the house is amazing. Diana is hands down the best hostess we've ever come across. She's very knowledgeable, caring, and resourceful. The caretaker (Oscar) and his wife were also a gem because they ensured we were safe and took care of any concerns we may have had. They also did a great job anticipating our needs. The cleaning lady was also great and made sure the house stayed stocked. The house itself is amazing. Yes, there are bugs and small wildlife but if you go into it knowing they are there, then it won't be a big deal when you come across them. The pool and hot tub were great to take dips in. We enjoyed just sitting outdoors, especially in the rain. There is a nice path for walking/running that we used most days of the week. We also played on the tennis court a few times. The location is great because you are away from the hustle and bustle but can still drive to Jaco if you miss it. It's about a 30 minute drive and San Jose is about an hour away. Although there's at least one restaurant in short walking distance, I would highly recommend a car because you can drive to several restaurants within 5 minutes in either direction. We loved staying here and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we're in the area.

Pictures don’t do this place justice! Breathtaking views and comfortable sleeping arrangements. Diana was more that accommodating. She assisted with booking excursion,  a chef and answered any questions while we were there in a timely manner!

The place was great! Heads up we were an hour away from the airport and three hours away from volcanoes and hot springs ant atv riding. I would suggest doing half and half at this location and then the other side closer to volcanoes because that ride was brutal. Only thing we were super overwhelmed with was the amount of bugs in the house. We know we were in the middle of the nature but it was just a lot for our group of girls. Once we told Diana she got her groundskeeper to come and clear it out for us! She was super attentive to our needs especially when we locked ourselves out. Also helpful with getting us a personal chef. Her services were greatly appreciated and all and all we were happy with our stay and I would definitely recommend.

I have been to numerous Airbnb’s around the world and this was by far my best experience. The home was amazing, clean and felt extremely safe with property caretakers and completely fenced in. Oscar was amazing and very helpful, he even brought us fresh fruit in the morning! Diana was the best host, checked in with us regularly and helped us with our COVID testing to get back to the states. She made it so easy, the lab came to the home and did it for us the day before our flight back home. We spent the majority of our time by the pool, and the pictures do not due the property justice, it is beautiful! Location was great too, it was far enough away from everything so you feel like you are alone in the jungle but close enough to drive to all of the main activities and attractions. Based on the daily price and what you get, this is a 10/10. Thank you Diana for everything!

We loved our time in casa Diana. Great place

Spectacular house, with all the necessary amenities for a family vacation.
