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! 🫶🫶

The grounds and pool at Rita’s were beautiful and Adi is a fantastic host! He helped us book quads for our stay, and was quick to respond & resolve any issues or questions. Not having a/c in the main area of the house was uncomfortable and one of the showers didn’t have hot water, but otherwise we greatly enjoyed our stay and would stay again in a heartbeat!

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!

Can’t say enough about how great our stay was at this home. Very convenient location that is easily accessible to Santa Teresa, beaches and ATV trails in the jungle. Marina with fresh seafood right down the road. The property is absolutely beautiful with a resident iguana, flowers, butterflies, hummingbirds and incredible ocean views and sunsets. Howler monkeys all around. We can’t wait to return!!

As others have said the pictures don’t do this place justice. The views are stunning!! Waking up every morning with a view of the Pacific ocean and howler monkeys is a dream come true!! Access to the property is much easier than others we have stayed at. The road is well maintained but steep at points. We had a 4x4 but maybe not needed at all times of the year. The house itself is well stocked for cooking and very clean. The gardens are the best I’ve seen in my travels this far :) Yoga in the mornings coordinated by Pacific Azure was just what we need. Would stay again!
