The bathroom large, the tub filled quickly. Water pressure was good. Hot water was hot and available. Shower gel and soap provided smelled amazing. Don’t love that you can’t park next to the casita, but also that did make for nice walking grounds in the morning. Lots of beautiful trees and flowers. WiFi was not great. Kitchen was nice to have, but nothing to make food hot so??? More like a wet bar. GREAT view of the volcano, close to the local free hot springs entrance, didn’t visit the pool but looked nice and was steaming at night. Breakfast was perfect, beautiful place to start the day. Super quiet at night, the bed was incredible, comfortable and king size which is hard to find. Gets pretty slippery on the patio in the rain. We brought our pup and she approved also. Nice place overall, romantic.

The staff was courteous and helpful, the breakfast and pool was great, the rooms were nice. The only suggestion I have is to maybe add seating to the rooms. I am an early riser, and it would have been nice to have a place to sit and read or drink coffee waiting for the rest of the group to get up!

The property is beautiful and you feel like you’re in a lush rainforest. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. We ate breakfast at the restaurant each morning and it was very nice - local dishes, fresh fruit and an omelette station. The hotel is located near hot springs, shopping and restaurants, but also sets out far enough that it is quiet and peaceful. We had 2 adults and 2 teenage boys in our group. We all agree that this was a great stay and we will definitely return.

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…
