Real Costa Rica without roughing it!
Review Submitted: July 23, 2011
Date of Stay: July 2011
We stayed Casa Paraíso for 8 days with 2 moms and 3 kids. We loved the location as it was only 1 1/2 hours from San Jose so with three kids the traveling was easy. I was worried the area would not have that tropical lush feel I have experienced in more remote parts of the county but the property and Tarcoles was so beautiful and exceeding my expectations. . We also visited during the raining season which I loved as we must have lived on that patio day and night experiences the wonderful rain and sunshine come and go. I loved the house for the large wrap around patio which gave us the breeze of the ocean we needed while hanging out by the pool. The house was supplied with everything we needed to get buy without buying anything except groceries to keep the kids happy.
Patri and her team, Ramon and Frankie were great. All the info on the review before us we will ditto. They gave us fresh coconut juice, mangos, papayas and limons straight from our yard daily. The kids loved the frogs coming out in the evening which seems to happen in most areas we stayed at during our travels. Dogs, cats, lizards, crabs (one in our pool one morning), goats, horses, exotic birds... We saw them daily. We also chose this area as we like to be able to walk to a village with the kids and hang out at the local tienda or restaurant. Tarcoles was perfect for this. We also had the areas best fish coop which people drove from Jaco to shop at, at the end of our street which is across from the ocean. Thank you Patricia and all for making our stay in Costa Rica something we and the kids will remember forever.

We at Casa de Paraiso cannot thank you enough for the WONDERFUL review. You were such great families that were open to experience the true Costa Rican experience. Many choose to spend their time in CR in gated communities but you chose to expose your children to the "real" CR and I am sure they will treasure that experience. You are Mothers who teach by example and I truly applaude & thank you! We sincerely hope to see you back here again and you will not come as strangers, you will come as our "amigas."
Until we meet again, su amigos en CR, Patri, Ramon, Frankie y su mascotas, Lizzi, Courage, & Sammi.
