We stayed here on our way back to San Jose from the Osa. We just wanted a place to stay for the night, but had such a great experience we ended up staying for 3 days. The manager/owner told me that they had just finished extensive renovations. We stayed in the Monkey room and everything in it was new which... more

Flew in to Quepos with some friends and spent 7 days in and around Costa Paraiso and Dominical. This place is a hidden gem. The ocean is 50 feet in front of you and about 2 kms of beach about 600 feet to the left (no surfing though that is about 5 mins drive south if you are a noob... more

We spent four days at Costa Paraiso and just loved the tranquil simplicity of this 5 unit paradise that is contrasted by a rugged, explosive coastline. Situated just steps away from the crashing waves, a short three minute walk took us to the beautiful Dominicalitos beach. Jennifer, the resident “do it all”, was very pleasant and helpful with any request... more

After much research, I chose this location (over Coconut Grove; just 2 mins further south on same beach) because I specfically wanted to be near the water and have an uninterrupted view of the ocean from my room. In that respect, our room (called Toucan Nest) delivered the goods. However, I was somewhat dissatisfied with my experience at this hotel... more

The location is priceless which makes the rate at Costa Paraiso a bargain. Dominical is remote enough to keep the big crowds away, but large enough to have plenty of restaurants, a few of which are truly excellent. But 'progress' is coming. Even the last 40 kilometers of dirt road and one lane bridges are disappearing. The staff at Costa... more

If you're looking for a simple, cabina style place with the Pacific ocean just outside, this is the place. My husband and I stayed here 10 days and found it very relaxing. The setting is beautiful, with birds, iguanas, and tropical plants. There is a deserted beach just south where we walked each morning. This is NOT a fancy resort,... more

My stay at Costa Paraiso was an unbelievable experience. I think more than anything it was the people that run the beautiful place made me feel such at home. They were always there if you needed them. Always had great recommendations of awesome adventures to take during the day. Or just to kick back at Costa Paraiso for the day... more

My wife and I spent most of a week at Costa Paraiso last year, and I guess I was too relaxed - it took me until now to write this review! We loved this place, but anyone who goes needs to make sure they understand what type of place this is. Costa Paraiso is everything that everyone says. It is... more

Listening to the waves 24 hours a day and smelling the flowers throughout the property is incredibly relaxing. We arrived after traveling through Peru and feeling run-down from all the hiking and non-stop action. What a perfect place to unwind! You can lounge by the pool, in a hammock or take a 2 min walk to the sandy beach. Restaurants... more
