We took our family of 5 (three children, ages 10, 11 and 17) to Paradise Breezes for spring break. Our trip was wonderful, and our experience with this property and the staff was fantastic! The property is safe, secure, private and clean. Frankly, the pictures don't do it justice. The house is great and very comfortable; it's was more than large enough for the five of us. The kitchen had everything we needed, the bathrooms were large, and the outdoor space was great. We spent most afternoons and evenings playing games or reading on the large back patio, taking breaks to swim in the pool (which the staff cleaned daily). The views of the ocean were excellent, and we were able to see plenty of wildlife (birds including toucans in the afternoon, lizards a plenty, etc.) from the patio.
Emanuel was a great help to us. He scheduled all of our excursions (rafting, horseback riding, zip lining, National Park tour) and was always available for questions by phone (always answered immediately). He provided good advice with respect to restaurants, beaches and just general information. He was always there when we needed him, yet not intrusive at all. Perfect.
I highly recommend this property. You definitely need a car, and it is a drive from San Jose (3+ hours), but once you get there it's worth every minute. It's a very short drive to Dominical and Playa Dominicalito, and only about 20 minutes or so south of Quepos. We had no problem getting around, and it was nice to feel like we were alone in the middle of the jungle when we returned to the house.
I'd say this is great for adults or families with kids. Plenty to do nearby, and you won't find a better host than Emanuel.
Thanks again, Emanuel!

Family that Escaped a Cold Chicago Winter!
