Slice Of Paradise is located on one of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in Costa Rica & its only a minute walk from the property. There is an abundance of wildlife for you to see on this beach. You will see monkeys that visit our property twice a day, in the early morning hours & about an hour before sunset every evening, you can always find a sloth or 2 hanging around in the trees on this beautiful jungle beach, & there are also scarlet macaw parrots, toucans, Lora green parrots, iguanas, and endless species of tropical birds for bird-watching on Playa Matapalo.

Our lush tropical flower gardens & grounds are a beauty to behold & we have many tropical fruit trees including several Mango trees, Cashew tree, tropical fruit Cas tree, Banana & Plantains, Central American Apple tree, numerous species of palm trees & more. If you would like to see Mother Nature at her finest Slice Of Paradise is the place for you. Playa Matapalo is like having your own private beach all to yourself. You can walk the beach for miles on this velvety sand beach and will never step on a rock & you will probably only see a few local Ticos (Costa Ricans) fishing with a hand line. If you go for a beach walk at low tide you won't have to worry about finding your way back because you can simple follow your own footsteps in the sand that will lead you back to Slice Of Paradise. The ocean water temperature at Playa Matapalo is very warm & stays around 78 to 85 degrees the whole year around.

Slice Of Paradise & Playa Matapalo is located on the South Central Pacific Coast only 25 miles south of Manuel Antonio National Park and10 miles North of the surfing village of Dominical. We are centrally located to all the best attractions, site seeing spots, & all the tours that Costa Rica has to offer. Any tour you would like to do is just a short drive from your bungalow, and we work directly with all the tour companies in the area & will book any tour you would like to do for no charge. You could never stay at Slice Of Paradise and have enough days to do all the things you would like to do or see, there is just too much beauty & wildlife to see on this beach and the surrounding area. There is a bar, restaurant & grocery store within walking distance from your bungalow on the beach road or you can walk for10 minutes on the beach to get an authentic typical Costa Rican breakfast, lunch, or dinner & do your grocery shopping all in one stop at A-Kachete Bar, Restaurant, & Super Mercado. Matapalo has several other good restaurants & markets for doing grocery shopping. For a gourmet meal you will want to check out The Matapalo Supper Club just a 10 minute walk on the beach road from your bungalow. If you are a fan of seafood you will not want to miss eating at The Langosta Feliz Restaurant (The Happy Lobster) for some of the freshest & best seafood in the area.

Be sure to catch the sunsets every evening on the beach. Playa Matapalo is known for its colorful sunsets, & you will be able to watch the sun disappear into the Pacific Ocean. Everyone congregates on the beach to watch the beautiful sunsets that we get every evening. They're a thing of beauty so don't forget to take your camera with you.

* Our rates for the 2 story beach bungalow start at $140.00 a night for 2 people & increase by $15.00 per night for each additional person over 2 people. (2 people = $140.00 a night, 3 people = $155.00 a night, 4 people = $170.00 a night. 5 people = $185.00 a night )

This was our 3rd and final destination for our 8 day trip to Costa Rica! We stayed 3 nights in this cool homey 2 storey. The yard was incredible, we seen monkeys and a sloth right in the yard! Ron was the perfect mix of socable and giving us space. The gazebo was wonderful with lighting, a ceiling fan and great hamocks! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen provided us with almost everything we needed! The beach was right across the street and had beautiful sunsets, very few people, and amazing crashing waves!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Slice of Paradise! Comfortable, very clean and safe. Ron and Giselle have created a lovely spot a one minute walk from the beach in Matapalo. They were very kind and were there if we needed anything but also gave us our space and privacy. Our bed was extremely comfortable and there was ample room for a big family in the Bungalow as well as a separate apartment for even more accommodation. Having lived in the area for over 25 years, Ron is a wealth of local knowledge and information. The beach out front is a true tropical paradise with very few people. Beautiful sunsets every evening were only matched by the wild life that came by daily, including monkeys and macaws. Looking forward to staying here again! Thanks Ron and Giselle!

My husband and I stayed at Slice of Paradise for five nights and loved every minute. The bungalow is located behind the hosts’ home and is completely separate and private. On the first floor there’s a full kitchen with everything you need (including a drip coffee maker, microwave, toaster, blender, and air fryer), a living room with a couch, a chair, and a daybed; a half bath; and a large closet with beach chairs and boogie boards. Upstairs is a full bath with a huge shower, a very large bedroom with two king beds, and a balcony that looks toward the mountains. Steps from the front door is a gazebo with comfortable chairs and hammocks and a powerful ceiling fan. The neighborhood monkeys and dogs come to visit frequently. The beach is a three-minute walk from the front door if you walk slowly. At its very most crowded there might be a dozen people there, but we often had it all to ourselves. The water was very warm. The neighborhood is very quiet. If you’re looking for activity, Dominical is a ten-minute drive away. Lots of tours and adventures are available within a short drive. In sum, this is a fantastic property for a relaxing vacation. Ron and Giselle are great hosts—-always available for questions but providing plenty of privacy.

My family of 5 had a fantastic stay. We used both bungalows, although the bigger bungalow (that I am reviewing here) was plenty big enough for the 5 of us. Air conditioning was excellent in the bedroom upstairs and the living and kitchen area downstairs, which mattered to me! Staying in this home really felt like staying in the jungle, with plenty of wildlife from the lizards that join you, to the monekeys that came by and even ate from my family’s hands! Ron and his wife Giselle were very kind and considerate hosts, and live next door on the same plot so they are always on hand. Ron was able to recommend a fantastic wildlife tour where we saw monkeys, crocodiles, even an ocelot! And recommended many other activities. He is well connected in the area. We loved that the location felt ‘local’, and the restaurants were excellent around nearby, and the beach was only 50 yards away, and very very quiet. Great stay - thanks!
