We saw toucans, parrots, hummingbirds, white-faced monkeys climbing and jumping through trees almost daily, a variety of butterflies, even a sloth, without having to leave the pool area! The property and grounds are beautiful.

Our second stay at El Pariso was great. We love location, privacy and staff. Manuel makes sure you have everything you need and property is pristine. Yarelis cooked twice for us, yum! Highly recommend.
Rene S.
After 8 years we came back to El Paraiso for the 2nd time this year ! If you are looking for a place to relax, away from the crowds - this is it ! This is in particular why we made it a second time and it might not have been our last visit.
J D.
El Paraiso is a stunning home with even more stunning views! Exactly like the pictures. We loved our short visit, wished it were a little longer.....next time. You will require a 4x4 as the incline & roads from the pristine main highway are steep.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at El Pasaito. The house is very spacious, with a large kitchen inside and another outside. The views of the hills and forest are spectacular and there are balconies a plenty at the house to view the ocean/sunset from. Manuel is the local caretaker who is there daily to make sure that everything is okay, that the pool is clean, etc. He cleared some trails through the forest where we saw dozens of species of birds (toucans, parrots, tanagers, and warblers galore) in addition to salamanders, monkeys, poison dart frogs, and green tree frogs! We were sad to leave and can't recommend this place enough! Only 20 minutes from great beaches with hardly a soul on them, and Manuel Antonio National Park and Quepos are not too far away.

This was indeed paradise. Every detail of this amazing property was aesthetically pleasing. There must have been 50 hand-painted rocks scattered throughout the property. The décor was filled with Costa Rican art objects. The pool was lovely and the lounge chair pads with terry covers were great. We saw Toucans every day. The kitchen was the most fully stocked of any VRBO we've ever rented. Finally we slept on lovely sheets and relatively comfortable beds! The property manager was helpful. The only drawback was not having comfortable furniture. The two "sofas" were nice window-type seats, and for five days, they weren't comfortable for reading and hanging out. Regardless, I would give this property a 5-star rating.

We arrived Christmas Day (2016) to what can only be described as peaceful paradise. The driveway (a four wheel drive is preferred - which we had) access makes it even that much more charming as you navigate a gravel road through lush rainforest up to top of mountain.
The property and house are amazing. The house was immaculate and Manuel met us as we drove up. What a kind soulful spirit he is. My two college age daughters enjoyed the pool and we totally embraced the Pura Vida lifestyle by using the outdoor grill/pavilion (a Costa Rican way of life) the whole time we were there.
Teresa arranged for local chef (yvelis) to cook for us and it was a fantastic meal.
Thanks to all for a great experience.
Bob S.
Everything was perfect! The views, the house, the property care taker Manuel were all just perfect. This is a place to stay that all will immediately enjoy and wish they had more time to stay. I will forever remember the beauty of this incredible home!
Daniel G.
El Parisio truly is paradise. Exceptional property in a great location. Close to Manuel Antonio and Marino Ballena National Parks. 10 minutes to Playa Matapolo and Playa Linda beaches. Manuel, the property manager and concierge is the best. We have already scheduled for next year.

Beautiful!!!
Beautifully decorated home,
manicured lawn, which could be considered a botanical garden
elevated above the surrounding terrain with a view of the Pacific Ocean
Pictures here are inadequate.
Jeff D.
This was a fantastic home and property. Plenty of wildlife around to see. In fact after we went on several tours in the area, we saw more animals at the house! Manuel the caretaker was very nice, and helpful and kept everything very clean. Yarelis made us a great costa rican dinner! Very peaceful setting!
Maggie M.
We arrived late, after dark at El Paraiso and we were met by Manuel who had been available by text and cell to coordinate our arrival. He helped with our baggage and showed us all features of the house. He told us to call him with any questions or problems. We immediately noticed that the house and property were in meticulous condition. The kitchen is spacious and the best equipped of any kitchen in my rental experience. All utensils and appliance were spotlessly clean and organized. We like to cook and everything was available --excellent pots, blenders small and large, whisks, spatulas, good quality chef's knives and very nice quality glasses and plates and a dishwasher and washer dryer all with appropriate detergents! The MaxiPali grocery is 15 min away and has everything that you will need. You can stop there on the highway on your way to the house before arrival. We also bought delicious fresh tuna at the seafood stand in the market in Quepos. We can not say how much we appreciate your sharing your lovely home and property with us. Manuel and Yarelis take great pride in their work and are so helpful in every respect. We hope to return sooner than later.

RELAXATION, COMFORT, NATURE, ADVENTURE and OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE! I can't say enough about this Costa Rican Paradise, "El Paraiso".
I was astonished by the amenities and comforts that this rental home provided. A few included washer and dryer, well maintained kitchen appliances/utensils, air conditioning, comfortable bedding and TV, these amenities were a nice retreat after enjoying the outside all day . The entire home was extremely CLEAN!
Relaxation was easily obtained by lounging both in and out of the pool, as well as an occasional nap, really places your mind at ease. Listening to the birds chirps all around, was a pleasant reminder that I was really in the jungle on a true vacation experience.
We took advantage of the housekeeping service as well as the chef. The authentic Costa Rican meal was DELICIOUS! (The additional cost was well worth it!)
Overall, I have not stopped sharing my experience and the comforts that made this vacation astonishing. I will rent again at this vacation home as soon as my time permits.

We stayed at El Paraiso villa for 5 days from Nov. 19 to Nov 24. The property was amazing inside and outside. We loved the pool area, BBQ and wet bars. Kitchen has everything we needed. Manuel was very helpful. We have ordered food couple times and it was very delicious.
Wayne T.
This was our third stay at El Paraiso and it seems to get better every Year. Close to superb quite beaches and great ocean views, Manuel and Yerelis were a great help as usual. Yerelis prepared a fantastic "Tico" dinner for us again. We will be making plans very soon for our next vacation. Thanks for perfection.
James W.
The property was a palace jewel located in a virgin forest dotted with wild life such as Toucan birds, monkeys and many more making for many hours of entertainment. All the rooms were large and appointments were of top quality. The grounds were well manicured, clean and spacious. In all a truly "once in a lifetime experience" !!!!!
Nick N.
This home sits on a beautiful hillside over looking the ocean on the horizon. The place is quiet, peaceful and beautifully kept and maintained. The caretaker "Manuel", is friendly, helpful and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay because we wanted a place to ourselves without all the "resort" music, activities and culture. Everyday ... 2 beautiful parrots visited us as well as toucans.
Alvaro S.

Wayne T.
The villa was spacious and perfect for our needs. The pictures shown on the property site, actually under portray the beauty and charm of the villa and surrounding landscape. Needless to say, our expectations were greatly exceeded. Karyn was very cooperative in providing any additional information and assistance we required prior to our booking. Manual and Karyn were most helpful during our stay and were readily available when required. If you are looking for total tranquility, privacy and a sense of seclusion, this is the place to be. The short easy drive to Quepos and Manuel Antonio park made this location the best of both worlds. The near by beach was fabulous. Great surf, sand and the feeling of having it all to yourself. We hope to return soon. Thanks for the wonderful experience.
Matthew N.
This was our favorite house that we stayed in on vacation. The layout and outdoor living areas allowed us to really take in the beautiful view. Thank you for letting us stay at your home.
Wayne T.
The tranquil locale is just perfect if you enjoy privacy and the feel of nature right on the edge of the jungle. The amenities and comfort of the villa are fantastic. Manuel, the local property manager, is immediately available for any assistance if required. We had Yeleris cook a Costa Rican dinner for us which was amazing.

Caitlin V.
We had a wonderful stay here and loved the way that the house is a little off the beaten track. The house is very comfortable and the pool very much appreciated. Manuel was there every day, looking after the property. The only slight disappointment was that we didn't see any animals actually on the property... no monkeys at breakfast! Overall though we had a wonderful stay and would strongly recommend. The local beaches are wonderful and no tourists.
William G.
I have nothing but good things to say about this place. My wife and I have used homeaway/VRBO all over the world and have found great properties. This is definitely among the best! The property was beautifully kept and all the amenities were laid out just where we needed them. We arrived slightly early, but the caretaker, Manuel, was gracious enough to interrupt what he was doing to meet us at El Paraiso and give us a tour and all the instructions we needed to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We had lunch plans that afternoon, but we quickly cancelled them when we realized that we would rather stay in and relax in the beautiful property. We stayed buy the pool all afternoon and enjoyed all the wonderful birds, and especially a beautiful toucan who serenaded us for about 30 minutes. We also enjoyed the visit of capuchin monkeys the next morning as we were getting ready to go to Manuel Antonio National Park. Overall a great experience and would recommend it highly. Note that you should have a 4x4 to access the property and we're glad to have gotten that instruction from Karen, the property manager, when we were making the arrangements.
Liping W.
We truly enjoyed the stay in this gorgeous mountain house. The rainforest plants, the bbq area and the pool. Manual provided excellent service. We'll recommend this property for friends that plan to visit the area.
Shannon R.
The property is amazing. It was our first trip to Costa Rica so I wasn't sure what to expect from the location in the Jungle or being out of town but it truly made our trip. Coming home every evening to this wonderful house and waking up eating breakfast by the pool made our trip. The house was incredibly clean, Manuel does an amazing job on the grounds and was extremely accommodating when we had to checkout at 11:30pm. So many animals stopped by including Monkeys, wild boars, Iguanas, Birds and butterflies.
Debra T.
We fell in love with this house the first time we stayed here. It was more expensive than some of the other options but well worth it. The pictures are exactly what the house looks like. It is impeccably maintained and cared for on a daily basis. The outside patio area is perfect for outside entertaining. Awesome gas grill. The two bedrooms are spacious and the beds are super comfortable. The kitchen has more stuff than my own kitchen at home. Sunsets, wildlife, ocean to the front and jungle in the back. I wish I could share pictures as well as words. Please stay here so you can appreciate Cost Rica.
Sue C.
El Paraiso is a very special spot made extra special by the care and attention you will receive from Manuel and Teresa.
The home is impeccable, the views are better than promised, and the monkeys and toucans are just outside your front door.
All that and one o the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen just a five-minute drive from the house -- Matapalo.
Thank you Teresa. Gracias Manuel. Our introduction to Costa Rica was all we imagined and more.
Debra T.
It was our very first time to Costa Rica and staying at El Pariaso made our experience even that much better! The house was beautiful, well cared for inside and out and had everything we needed. We especially loved how private and secure the house was with the gated entrance. The caretaker Immanuel was so kind and thoughtful. He gave us a tour of the grounds and the great views. He worked very hard to keep the grounds pristine.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Rent a 4 wheel drive, it will just make it that much easier to get around and up the long driveway.
Bring your spanish dictionary. You will get plenty of use out of it.
DRAW BACKS (Not enough to keep us from renting again, but wish we knew.)
There was no phone and no internet. We would have prepared better for that. The housekeeper offered hers which was very kind.
CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!!!!
Rene S.
We arrived on the 29th of Dec. 11 and stayed til Jan 8th of 2012. So we spent New Years Eve on the upper balcony of "El Paraiso".
Our arrival @ the property was a bit of a challenge due to our cell phones would not work so we could call Manuel (the housekeeper) for driving directions since it was already dark... So we had to ask @ a nearby bar and who would have thought that we had to drive right into the jungle ;-) ?
The whole stay was fantastic, great and absolutely enjoyable. We stayed 3 week total in Costa Rica and El Paraiso was the best by far ! The house is great, we especially enjoyed the bbq area the pool and the remoteness of the propoerty. A couple of feet past the driveway you are right in the jungle.
We saw all kinds of wildlife every day just around the house and I managed to shoot about 2000 pics...
Manuel and Yeraldis were great and very helpful, he even took me out fishing ! If we would return to Costa Rica... El Paraiso would be the 1st Adress
