Enlighten your senses in a lush rain forest of Costa Rica!

Paradise Lodge Bed and Breakfast is located in a charming Costa Rican village just 5 kilometers from the famous 20-million-year-old Venado caves (Cavernas de Venado). We welcome you to a quaint Tuscan-style villa perched on a rolling 3-acre hillside at the border of Costa Rica's verdant rain forest, where you may experience a rare blend of restful tranquility, exciting exploration, and unforgettable experiences. Costa Rica's breathtaking scenery and abundant wildlife are sure to stimulate your senses. Listen to the howler monkeys, frogs, iguanas, and butterflies as they chirp and hop around their natural habitat. You may easily do grocery shopping or grab convenient items within walking distance.

We serve a full Costa Rican breakfast every day, including farm fresh eggs and fruit, as well as basic cleaning, laundry, and shopping services on request. On-site river access for fishing and swimming, as well as comprehensive tour arrangements at the best prices to maximize your visit.

A huge open floor layout with a separate dining and living room. A fully equipped kitchen and a patio barbecue are available for dining in or picnicking outside.
The master suite's spaciousness, master bathtub, walk-in closet, and private patio provide home-like comfort. Two persons can be accommodated in a second bedroom with a queen-size bed and a half bath. There is also a queen-size day bed in an open area with curtains for privacy.

Tours can be arranged for all ages. We work with licensed tour guides to arrange adventure tours, hot springs, and excursions in and around the stunning Rio Celeste National Park and the city of La Fortuna. For an additional fee, transportation can also be arranged to and from the San Jose International Airport, or for convenient trips.

About the hosts: Carol and Jim are Americans living in the lush rainforest adjacent to Paradise Lodge Bed and Breakfast.
