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 house is very cosy with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and a decent bathroom with shower. The surroundings are magnificent with beautiful spots around every corner on the numerous paths that go all over the well maintained property with forest, rivers, ponds, gardens and orchards. I enjoyed the swimming pond with crystal clear water at a perfect temperature. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. Sitting on the patio and looking at the hummingbirds, toucans and lots of other birds and animals (I saw an anteater walking by) with no other sounds to be heard than nature really made me feel like being in paradise.

The property is gorgeous. We stayed in the Casita and it was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The staff was friendly and helpful. From the patio we could observe various plants and animals. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.

Nice and secluded.

We loved the Blue Butterfly Cottage. Every morning at dawn I looked forward to seeing Keel-billed Toucans, Red-lores Parrots and many more exotic birds right from our front porch!! If sleeping more than two, Bret needs to get new sofa sleeper. Impossible mattress on current one!!

We stayed in this little casita for 5 days and really enjoyed it.It is a beautiful, very comfortable cabin set in a well maintained, huge, gorgeous garden with a variety of flowers and birds. Sit on the patio and watch the fire flies at night or have your coffee in the morning and watch the beautiful birds!We were lucky to see the monkeys in the trees as well.There is a swimming pound on the property where you can relax and enjoy nature.The casita is conveniently close to town for your shopping with the feel of being away in the jungle. The road to it is a little bumpy but, for us, this added to the charm for the feel of staying in a jungle setting. I did not want to stay in Costa Rica on the main roads.This was our first time in Costa Rica and Bret was very helpful with advises and tips. The property manager lived right down the road and there is a phone in the cabin. We were able to call him with any questions we had. If we go back on that side of Costa Rica, we will certainly stay there again. There is also a bigger house on the property if we ever go back with family.

If you want a clean,cosy,quiet place to come and just chill or watch hummingbird,birds, butterflys, fireflys as well as monkeys this is the place to come. Did my exercises on front deck every morning and it was a pleasure with all the wildlife around. Brett has a huge acreage with roads and paths to hike around as well as two ponds, one of which you can swim in.
