CRParaiso is a gem for nature lovers. The property contains several trails, ponds, groves, while offering a mature forest and open areas. It is full of birds and lends itself to their observation by the most passionate enthusiasts. The main house offers all the comfort and respite desired. Bret is easily reachable and always willing to answer questions and provide sound advice. Not to be missed if you go to the very beautiful region of Nuevo Arenal.

A very comfortable villa situated in a beautiful rain forest. Bret the owner is very reachable and helpful. We recently stayed there for one week and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Being a rainforest it tends to have its fair share of rain but the payback is everywhere is green and fresh with lots of flowers and colour The only downside was the road in, it really is in need of a grader. We didn't have a 4 wheel drive and it really is a must if the road isn't improved. Otherwise an amazing stay

My family with grown children stayed on this very private property for three nights as part of our longer Costa Rican vacation. Unfortunately it was cloudy and rainy most of our stay so we chose to go offsite for activities. There was plenty of room for all of us and we did go on a few walks but the 3 miles of hiking trails were not clearly marked and we could not find them on the map. There were few towels for 3 days and the beds were not comfortable. We would suggest an out door light for safety. We returned to the house every evening in pitch dark. It was concerning to all of us that two dogs were tied up during our stay and barked frequently over night.

The property was beautiful like stated. Brett and his crew Marvin, Jason and Brandon made it so much fun. We did the zip lining with them and it was awesome. The only downside is the public road to the property is rough and definitely recommend a 4x4 vehicle. Overall it was a great experience with relaxing beautiful views.

Absolutely wonderful. The private estate was full of jungle and wildlife, although humid the July temperatures were low 80’s during the day and mid 60’s at night, and our host Bret was awesome.

This was the highlight of our trip! Amazing host and absolutely incredible propriety. Plenty of space for everyone. We all thoroughly enjoyed the property with all its spectacular views, birds, flowers, and animals. We walked everyday, plus we took advantage of many of the guided activities: zip lining, night hike, horseback riding, bird watching. The house was completely private, with a large back porch for relaxing and enjoying meals together. We would have loved to have stayed much longer!
