"Five senior women set off on an all-girls adventure and it did not disappoint. Patrick and the "sunset team" were terrific, from the fabulous daily breakfasts to the top notch excursions that were recommended. The only negative thing I would mention is that the house could be challenging for those with disabilities, as you had to step up or down to get from room to room and there was no railing on the stairway up to the second floor. Having said that, we had no issues because we were very...

"The property is absolutely stunning! There is wildlife galore on the property and you feel like you’re in the middle of the rainforest. We had perfect weather and it was a little cooler but, if it wasn’t, the lack of air conditioning may have been rough! Love love loved this place and so did the whole group. 10/10 would recommend."

"We had a great experience at this property and wish we could have stayed longer. The view is fantastic and the home is everything you would hope for in a short term rental while on vacation. The food recommendations and ideas that they offer are on point. Please note that you'll certainly have to drive 45 - 75 minutes for most activities in and around the Fortuna area. We didn't mind as it offered a great opportunity to see a part of the country that we might not have seen otherwise. We felt...

"If you are looking for a property in Nuevo Arenal this size and in this price range...look no further. This property is AMAZING! My family of 7 was visiting the area and we were initially staying at another property in the Nuevo Arenal region, Bella Verde. There were multiple issues with this property and we need to leave emergently. I contacted Justin who was very prompt in replying to my plea and quickly had Ave Paraiso cleaned and even allowed us to check in early. Because of him and his...

The rental property is beautiful and and host is super easy to communicate with. We are very pleased with our decision to book. There were a few stray cats our daughter enjoyed tending to. We drove to the hot springs and on the way stopped for breakfast at a wonderful restaurant and store with an overlook. The small local town had several restaurants and a...

"We went for my wife's 40th birthday with multiple families with kids. It was a perfect venue and stay that was closer to the Liberia airport vs Fortuna. We had Tucans on the property, parrots, and plenty of beautiful birds. There is enough distance from each of the villas that gave you some privacy, but close enough to also feel together easily. One issue you can run into in being in the jungle is bugs, but there were no mosquitos or any issues at all staying here, definitely nothing in the...

"Our stay at Casa Karon was for 3 nights, sandwiched between our visit to Papagayo and then closer to the coast near San Jose. Seeing Toucans and small parrots and sitting on the bench on the deck overlooking the forest in the morning was my favorite. The pool and hottub were amazing, and it really is cooler there than other parts of Costa Rica. Michael was a wealth of knowledge and fun to talk to. The grounds were immaculately kept given the environment and the flora was amazing. We definitely...

"This place was the perfect past leg of our stay! A little more secluded and peaceful than Fortuna. I higly recommend. With just a couple notes. The portable AC unit isn’t really suffient to cool the house during the day. That being said, if you’re venturing out for day adventures this is perfect! Also, with the area being more secluded, food options are limited especially after dark. The pizza place up the road is great though! So is Gingerbread."

"Bret and his crew were awesome people, friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The property is wonderful, we hiked it almost everyday following the many trails and finding plateaus with amazing views of Lake Arenal. Sitting on the patio having a favourite beverage, we listened to howler monkeys, saw white faced monkeys, and many species of birds including parrots and toucans. Overall we had a wonderful vacation and would highly recommend a stay at CRParaiso."

The owner of this property is very sweet. The area is loud, close to the road and constantly hearing traffic. The cabin type room has a large portable fan which was great. Shower works well.

"My favorite property in Costa Rica! Will exceed all your expectations. Room and bed were extremely comfortable. Lots of amenities. Breakfast was personal and incredibly amazing. So nice to watch the birds every morning. Great deck to sit, swing and relax. Host helped with recommending and booking local attractions. If I’m ever back I will make sure to stay again!"
