Accommodated us, prompt replies, pool and jacuzzi were uncovered so debris in jacuzzi. A few tv channels to watch with English language. Home would easily cost over 700 a night if it was in the US. Beautiful and spacious home, with up to date amenities.
The property was stunning. We had everything we needed to cook breakfasts before heading out for the day. The rooms were well appointed with comfy beds. The backyard pool is beautiful with plenty of seating for a large group. We communicated with the host several times and he was always very quick to respond and helpful. If in the area, we would definitely stay here again.
Jeff was extremely proactive in dealing with a few issues with the house and we really appreciated he and Patriciaâs quick responses. The house boasts one of the most beautifully landscaped backyards Iâve ever seen. The pool was a joy. Very safe. Very comfortable. Highly recommended.
My family of six stayed in this home for 10 days, and it was a wonderful experience. The house was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate all of us, and the neighborhood was both quiet and safe. The home was well-equipped with everything we needed. Jeff, our host, even left sugar and coffee for usâby the way, the coffee was excellent!Communication with Jeff was smooth and easy. He was warm, welcoming, and readily provided helpful information and recommendations throughout our stay. We truly felt at home and would gladly recommend his property time and time again.One tip for future guests: if you're arriving at night, as we did, consider coordinating with Jeff in advance to see if grocery shopping can be done and delivered prior to your arrival. Many stores in the area close early, and you may want to have some essentials like drinking water on hand when you get in.
Our family stayed here for a week in June, and while we loved the pool and location, we also noticed the home needs some TLC and general repairs throughout (patio doors don't fully shut/lock, toilet seats that don't fit and move when using, cracked window, broken tiles and pans that have teflon peeling off to name a few). Despite needing repairs, we loved swimming each day, close proximity to the wildlife refuge and cute neighboring towns like Sarchi and eating at Casa Mia a few minutes down the road. The owner Jeff was also easy to get in contact with and quick to respond to questions.Also, important to note, the jacuzzi is not a hot one (this is the case with many in Costa Rica, but I didn't know until I arrived) and if you want to use the laundry you will need to pay a fee for the cleaning ladies to do it for you.All in all, it's a cool spot to stay, and with a little maintenance could be an excellent place to stay.
We arrived after a red-eye flight and although we only stayed the day and one night it was an amazing place. The home is beautiful, rooms comfortable and kids enjoyed the play area. The pool and waterfall were so relaxing and enjoyable. We wished we could have stayed longer. I would recommend this home to anyone, but for a family it could t have been better! Contacting the Jeff, the host , was easy on WhatsApp. He was receptive and replied quickly. We truly enjoyed our time.
We were only here overnight but the grounds are beautiful with large mango trees in the back. Nice pool and hot tub with cabana area. There were no food options open early so pack snacks to eat if you are staying for a while until you can get to a store or restaurant. You would need a driver or car. Ubereats might be an option but again nothing seemed to be open before 10am. My kids loved the play nook in the house.
This is such a beautiful home. We truly enjoyed our stay. We had some visitors from all kinds of creatures! Host responded very fast and checked on us the whole time.
Unfortunately didn't check in until late due to getting a little lost. Was able to take a quick dip in the beautiful pool before thunderstorm rolled in and went to bed early for our flight. Woke to birds singing and left. So didn't get to enjoy the lovely yard and pool as much as I wanted.
This was the perfect space for us to enjoy our last night in Costa Rica. Jeffery was great and his home is beautiful! Would definitely recommend this property.
The property was lovely, well taken care of and any concerns property manager / owner addressed right away. Very relaxing property, with enough privacy for individuals in my group.
Lovely private home in gated community so felt very safe. Great communication with owner. There are 3 bedrooms with queen beds, in the description it does show one room with 2 singles, not the case, but we made do! Great restaurant, Casa Mia close by I would recommend for dinner.
Hidden Paradise is a peaceful oasis. A large, roomy residence and safe enough to have all the doors and windows open to benefit from the lvely breeze. No air conditioner needed. The kitchen on the dark side but opening the garage door somewhat brightens the day. Kitchen utensils, glass wear could us a bit of TLC. The garden a true oasis to spend the day in.
This house was great for our 2 night stay after exploring other regions of Costa Rica before we flew home. The host was super communicable and the house was just as described. We enjoyed our relaxing stay!
I bought my beautiful home 7 years ago, we are Canadian/Tica and speak english/spanish fluently and will be here to welcome you to our property on arrival. We very familiar with Costa Rica and can offer lots of advice and are happy to help and are all ways at your service.
