Flor de Paraiso was the perfect relaxing oasis for our 21 night stay in Costa Rica. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped, we loved the sliding windows for indoor/outdoor living, and the (incredibly well maintained) pool was great to cool off in and hangout by.
The location is superb as well, as the walk to Montezuma Beach is only about 15min. We’ve seen both spider and capuchin monkeys regularly on the walk!

Gerardo and his family were so welcoming and helpful with any questions or needs. A highlight of our stay was sharing a test meal with Gerardo and Iliana as they were preparing for the opening of the new restaurant on site!

The pool is so nice to be able to take a dip in in the heat of the day or before bed, and the air conditioning in the bedrooms worked perfectly.
The kitchen is big and we'll equipped, and the Howler monkeys even came by for a few visits.
