Reviews of El Paraiso Azul

The location was just perfect. The rooms are fantastic and have great views, there were sloths and multiple packs of monkeys living on the hillside outback, the food at their kitchen was exceptional, and the staff were both very outgoing and kind and incredibly accommodating.

The only complaint that I have is that the water pressure in the shower was inconsistent, but otherwise it was a fantastic stay, especially for the price.

Incredible views, with the sound of crickets and songbirds floating on the breeze.

Water pressure low. Bed could have been softer.

Beautiful garden, great view, extremely nice host

Fantastic position, friendly helpful host, very relaxed, good breakfast, stunning views. Host very knowledgeable about local fauna and flora. Saw sloths, monkeys, macaws, toucans agoutis from the poolside.

Some traffic noise but what can you do.

The owner is absolutely lovely. She is an excellent resource for getting to know the area. The hotel is lovely with the best view!

The breakfast was simple, fresh, and delicious. The location is unbeatable for a nature lover.

The view, the pool, very quiet...ine night was too short. Nice breakfast also. Mes Elly is very nice 👌

Didn't stay long enough.

What made the stay particularly memorable was my interactions with the owner, who also runs the hotel on a daily basis. She has much experience with the area and was a great info. source besides being very pleasant to talk with. The location was great for me: 1) excellent view of the ocean/river, 2) a 5 minute drive down to the beach just below the hotel for sunsets and some authentic Tico vibes; food was good too at the beach shacks, 3) my room had a good breeze through it and that with a ceiling fan kept it cool for sleeping. Note: the beach for sunsets is not a swimming beach since it is also the mouth of the river (crocodiles). But there is a beach across the river that is quite nice. You pay a Tico a few bucks to take you there and back. The hotel is located close to some great attractions: Mangrove Tour in Sierpe (must do if you want to see animals) and there are tours to Corcovado available (by boat). Restaurants in the area are quite good too.

There was some road noise from the big trucks in morning but it didn't bother me.

Warm shower, nice room, friendly owner. Pool was amazing and the view lovely. Good price-quality.

Breakfast was very basic and not enough to fill us up.

Great pool. Small, but perfect temperature with a fabulous view.

There is a surprising amount of noise from the highway at night. Light sleepers should bring earplugs(although you won’t hear the monkeys in the morning?

Beautiful view

Loud noise from road

Beautiful view of the ocean, fresh homemade breakfast, clean comfortable room, hot shower, great pool, woke up with Howler Monkeys, Sloth in the yard, nice Garden with lots of hummingbirds. This place has everything you come to Costa Rica to see. We will be back. All at a very affordable price.

view from the pool area. Owner helpful

Breakfast not available

Views are incredible, breakfasts were wonderful. It's probably rustic compared to most places in the states, so make sure the expectations match the region. Ellie and Manuela were wonderful, great sources of local info and just wonderful people overall. The hosts are a major highlight of this hotel

-The friendly owner with her sister and their hospitality. Thank you 😊 -The location with the amazing view 😍 -The breakfast 😋

-The short part of the road up to the hotel is very stony and 4x4 is recommended.

Lovely quiet and elevated location, parking and great breakfast

Road up is tough, just people to be aware

Nice hotel with beautiful view. The owen is a nice woman. Nice breakfast. Parking free in front of the entrance. Wifi works fine.

Lovely location and pool. Great views

A little difficult to get there by bus, it can be done with a 15 minute walk up hill.

Beautiful view. Very clean. Well kept.

Surprised there was no air conditioning.
