This was truly a unique experience. I was sad our schedule only allowed us to stay one night, as I would loved to stay several days. Our room had a private pool, huge shower, and was surrounded by lush greenery. The breakfast buffet was good and the town was gorgeous. The staff was very helpful. We did the night hike and saw several tropical frogs, a snake and a sloth. I highly recommend a stay there!!

Fantastic experience! We searched long to find a good accommodation for our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids @ age 11,8,5), but found it at Hotel Mountain Paradise. Upon arriving (June/rainy season) we received a surprise upgrade to the Presidential accommodation and so enjoyed the room. Spacious bungalow with 3 beds (2 kings, one queen), 2 bathrooms, small table space. All fantastic and felt nice that we didn’t have any direct neighbors or shared walls (ya know, with kids and all haha)… a lot like a mini air b&b… but with housekeeping. Grounds were beautifully maintained, breakfast offerings were consistent but delicious (felt like it was local fare), and pool area was fun for the kids and adults (swim up bar). We spent the majority of the days on adventure, but always felt comfortable returning to the room after a long day in the rainforest. All said, great location, quiet and quaint… really felt we got a great value for our experience in CR…

The cottages were well spaced apart with plants/shubbery providing added privacy. The showers provided full size hygiene products that were better quality than what we had brought which came in handy since you end up showering more than expected with all of the expeditions available. The only thing that would be an added bonus is if this property had a laundry facility for guests.

Each cottage is perfectly spaces away from one another and shrubbery around the cottages provides added privacy as well as opportunities to observe wildlife. All of the staff were friendly and personable.
