Had a wonderful stay, Alessandra was very attentive and provided fresh coconut water, and snacks! The location was in a beautiful location for those looking to escape ❤️
Alex the host is a wonderful person. Very friendly and makes you comfortable to stay . The property is beautiful. Nature all around . Clean and welcoming !
Host provided anything that was needed. Sandria was welcoming and friendly. Recommended great place for sunset. Was like staying in a tree house. Lovely view of the forest. Very quiet area. Private and secure.
Alexandra went out of her way to make me feel welcome. She made a fruit smoothie and coconut snack as a welcome treat. The Tico studio was very functional and fit the jungle environment.
The bed was very comfortable and with the sound of the rain I fell asleep quickly and awoke refreshed. Honestly the best sleep and rest if the trip.
Alexandra made empanadas and tea for breakfast. Totally unexpected as the description didn't indicate that breakfast was included.

Lovely host. Unfortunately no one was there when we attempted to check in on the first day and we stayed elsewhere as driving there at night was not safe. Our host had left her sister there to meet us but her sister left. We called 5x and did not get an answer.
Windows need exterior cleaning and screens installed so you can open them. Doors need spaces around them closed up as there were many insects coming in.
La mejor de las experiencias que he tenido referente a amabilidad, comodidad y trato, espero con ansias volver a Costa Rica para hospedarme otra vez en Happy Paradise lodge, muy linda persona, gracias por ser tan amble y ayudarme con las diferentes actividades para conocer y disfrutar un poco del hermoso país Costa Rica.
