Summary: Carol and Jessica made our stay wonderful! Breakfast was great and they were very accommodating. The house fit our group of 9 well. Getting there was a little intimidating for the first time but once we figured the area out it was a breeze.

Summary: Carol and Jim are very caring hosts. Carol cooked fantastic, authentic Costa Rican breakfasts. Jim had coffee ready to go every morning. Carol was able to get us a discounted price at The Springs thermal pools, which we would recommend. They provide light housekeeping daily and are always available for questions and advice about the local area. We found the kitchen well equipped. While we were not able to river fish on their property, she was able to arrange for our group of four to try tilapia fishing at their neighbours pond and that was a great experience! We did walk down the well maintained trail to the river and enjoyed some wading in the river surrounded by rain forest. The air conditioning is only in the two bedrooms. It was not working properly in the loft bedroom, so the couple staying in that room found it quite warm and humid to sleep. Overall, a lovely stay in the jungle!

Summary: Carol and Jim are outstanding hosts. They care about their guests. Breakfast was very nice. The property was advertised to sleep 10 and we were a party of 9, it was a bit tight. Believe it is really good for 6 or family with small children. Off the beaten path and a good drive to what we wanted to do while in the Arenal area. Price was very good for high season but plan to be driving a lot to get to recreational areas. Waze isn't as good here as google maps but you will need one or the other to navigate.

Summary: Overall a great stay, good house for the value, especially compared to other available options. Host was very easy to communicate with, and also helped us plan some tours and got us discounts. The town of Jicarito is a little bit further from La Fortuna than we anticipated (40 mins-1 hour to various popular attractions), but the drive is very pretty. Hot water a bit difficult to use and inconsistent. Fresh breakfast each morning was great!

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at Jessica’s home in near La Fortuna. Jessica, Carol, and Jim were wonderful hosts that went out of their way to make our stay special. Carol communicated constantly prior and during the stay and offered help and useful advice with tours and activities. The daily breakfast exceeded expectations with different Costa Rican treats every day. The home itself was well equipped and comfortable with sufficient independent spaces for our family. Overall, a great stay for our family!! Thank you Jessica, Carol, and Jim!!

Summary: Carol, Jim, and Jessica were so great to work with. The house was clean and maintained regularly throughout our stay. More than a week before arriving, Carol reached out and offered help with scheduling activities. She was so helpful (and patient) in getting experiences scheduled for us with great companies and clustered by area. We never would have known how to get that done on our own. The location is secluded and felt very safe. They served an amazing breakfast (All local dishes) every morning and even accommodated early morning leave times. Can’t go wrong staying with Paradise BB
