This was a fantastic rainforest retreat! We stayed for a week over Christmas. My teens loved that they had their own rooms. Amazing tours right on the property. We did horseback riding, zip lining, and a night tour. Our guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. There were plenty of trails that we hiked on our own.We’ve ventured out to Arenal to do the hanging bridges and a coffee and cocoa tour. One day we went to the Pura Vida Hot Springs. We found some amazing places to eat along the route. Brett was responsive and helpful and all the questions we had for him. I will especially miss the view on the patio with our morning coffee and evening family chats. We will all miss the resident kitty that was so sweet. I definitely recommend this place if you like being right in the middle of the rainforest. All around great experience!

Very few properties if any offers you what CRParaiso does. A very well kept house and so many acres of land that you can roam around. A true paradise for nature lovers and birdwatchers like us. Do not miss it.

Bret has an amazing property. If you enjoy nature and enjoy exploring on your own, you will love this place. We had the 66acres to ourselves and explored the grounds at our own leisure.
