We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Paradise Lodge! From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel incredibly welcome – warm, attentive, and always ready to help with recommendations or anything we might need. The location is truly breathtaking: surrounded by lush jungle, yet perfectly situated as a base for exploring nearby waterfalls, heading to the beach, or enjoying a surf day in Dominical. On top of that, it’s the perfect starting point for unforgettable adventures. The hosts can help organize whale watching tours, diving trips, or visits to national parks. They also know the hidden spots where you can see sloths and other wildlife – away from the crowds and mass tourism. The apartments are spotless, beautifully maintained, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The highlight for us was the stunning pool with its peaceful atmosphere, as well as the private jungle trail on the property. Walking along the path felt magical – with the chance to spot wildlife and a small stream with a charming waterfall waiting at the end. Paradise Lodge is the perfect mix of comfort, nature, and hospitality. We left feeling refreshed and inspired, and we would recommend it without hesitation to anyone visiting this part of Costa Rica.

The villa was impeccably clean, spacious, and adorned with a stylish, modern boho design that made it feel like a luxury retreat. Waking up to breathtaking views of the ocean was an absolute highlight of our stay. The property even had a private waterfall, which added a magical touch to the entire experience. Sitting by the waterfall and enjoying the serene sounds of nature was incredibly relaxing. The hosts were exceptionally welcoming and always available for any questions or needs. The overall design of the property was both chic and comfortable, with attention to detail evident in every corner. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and amazing hospitality.
