Our family vacations to Costa Rica every year, but travels to new towns every time. This is by far the best house we have experienced. The property is beautiful, just steps from the beach, and an easy walk to town! The staff was wonderful, maintained the property, and kept the house clean for us every day during our stay. Bernett (the property manager) was always quick to respond to our needs and book us transportation, excursions, or chefs. We highly recommend getting a massage by the beach (oh, so relaxing!). We loved the town of Santa Teresa - it is not quite as developed (especially the roads) for tourists as other towns we have visited, but it provides a more local experience that we enjoyed the most. We went during their rainy season and somehow got lucky to have sunny and warm days the entire trip. We would love to come back to Santa Teresa and see its growth in the next five years! Thank you to all Villa Paraiso's staff!
