We had the perfect stay with our family. The house is very nice, and the outside is even better. A perfect hidden paradise. We didn’t feel crowded, there are so many areas where to hang out.
The property was stunning. We had everything we needed to cook breakfasts before heading out for the day. The rooms were well appointed with comfy beds. The backyard pool is beautiful with plenty of seating for a large group. We communicated with the host several times and he was always very quick to respond and helpful. If in the area, we would definitely stay here again.
Location is great. Without traffic, it's about 15 minutes to San Jose airport. Property is in a gated community and has its own security gate. Jeff was helpful. My only reason for a 4 out of 5 is that the pictures of the property are a work of art. The property is nice and you'll enjoy it but it's not quite as nice as the pictures depict.
Accommodated us, prompt replies, pool and jacuzzi were uncovered so debris in jacuzzi. A few tv channels to watch with English language. Home would easily cost over 700 a night if it was in the US. Beautiful and spacious home, with up to date amenities.

We enjoyed the local vibe in the area, was quiet and safe. The property was great and we enjoyed our time there. Thank you for everything.
This is such a beautiful home. We truly enjoyed our stay. We had some visitors from all kinds of creatures! Host responded very fast and checked on us the whole time.
This house was great for our 2 night stay after exploring other regions of Costa Rica before we flew home. The host was super communicable and the house was just as described. We enjoyed our relaxing stay!
The property was lovely, well taken care of and any concerns property manager / owner addressed right away. Very relaxing property, with enough privacy for individuals in my group.
Lovely private home in gated community so felt very safe. Great communication with owner. There are 3 bedrooms with queen beds, in the description it does show one room with 2 singles, not the case, but we made do! Great restaurant, Casa Mia close by I would recommend for dinner.
Our family had a wonderful time at this property. The house was a great size for our family (including our 3 teenage kids). The backyard and pool felt like a mini resort. I enjoyed that there were multiple large tables and furniture where everyone could sit comfortably. We felt very safe and relaxed throughout our stay. We would highly recommend this property.
We stayed at this home for two nights to be closer to the airport before flying out of San José, and it was just what we needed. The property manager was fantastic—very responsive and communicative every step of the way. The location was ideal, only about 20–25 minutes from the airport, which made travel day so much easier.We really enjoyed the pool and the lush, tropical grounds—it was a peaceful and relaxing spot to unwind. The house itself worked well for our short stay. If I had to offer any suggestions, it would be to consider a few updates to the home and provide some additional bedding, especially if you plan to use the air conditioning at night.That said, the property served its purpose perfectly, and we would definitely stay again!
My group really enjoyed our stay here! It is a very impressive and expansive property with lots of great amenities. Jeffery was very responsive when I had questions during my stay
Unfortunately didn't check in until late due to getting a little lost. Was able to take a quick dip in the beautiful pool before thunderstorm rolled in and went to bed early for our flight. Woke to birds singing and left. So didn't get to enjoy the lovely yard and pool as much as I wanted.
We really enjoyed this home. Plenty of indoor space for a family of 7 with lots of bathrooms. The most outstanding part is an amazing backyard area with a gorgeous pool. Very safe and secure as well. 15-20 minutes from San Jose airport.
Beautiful property amazing landscape, the pictures that you see online is just what you get when you stay here. The home has a resort appeal if you are just wanting to relax and enjoy the beautiful pool and the outdoor kitchen with a view of the hills and mountains around you. Nice to take morning walks in the neighborhood after a good yoga stretch and warm up.
Stayed at Hidden Paradise 2 nights at the end of our trip. Home as described. Easy check in/responsive host. Even had sleeper sofa that was comfy. Beautiful backyard area with pool/fruit trees/numerous lounge areas/dining table/nice grill.
My family of six stayed in this home for 10 days, and it was a wonderful experience. The house was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate all of us, and the neighborhood was both quiet and safe. The home was well-equipped with everything we needed. Jeff, our host, even left sugar and coffee for us—by the way, the coffee was excellent!Communication with Jeff was smooth and easy. He was warm, welcoming, and readily provided helpful information and recommendations throughout our stay. We truly felt at home and would gladly recommend his property time and time again.One tip for future guests: if you're arriving at night, as we did, consider coordinating with Jeff in advance to see if grocery shopping can be done and delivered prior to your arrival. Many stores in the area close early, and you may want to have some essentials like drinking water on hand when you get in.
We needed a place to stay near the San Jose airport at the end of our trip and this property was excellent. It was easy to find, well maintained and has a beautiful back yard. We enjoyed the pool and also the quick walk to the bar at the corner, which was one of the less expensive dinners we had in Costa Rica, but was really good. Our family of 7 was accommodated well and we enjoyed our stay. Jefferey was great with communication and keeping us informed. This is a great option for a place near San Jose.
