Tree House for Adults

Once we arrived at this property we were very excited to stay here. The house itself is quite unique and had a fantastic view of the jungle below. The porch overlooking the jungle was a great place to relax and watch nature. We saw toucans, humming birds, butterflies, and fireflies in the tree tops at night. There were also some giant dragonflies, and we saw an agouti, twice feeding on the jungle floor below. It is about 10 minutes from Dominical. It is also close to Parque Nacional Marino Ballena. Anja was very helpful and nice. She helped us book a mangrove tour when we arrived. We were able to see some sloths, monkeys and other wildlife on this tour. We would stay here on future visits. Look for Paradise Lodge when going to this location, It is on their property behind a large green fence.
