Awesome place and great stay. My wife and I just stayed here for our last night before our flight the next day, and we are very happy we did. The room was very nice and the property as a whole was beautiful. Of the four different places we stayed at during our trip, this was one of the more comfortable beds we had. Breakfast was delicious as well. Ken and Alejandra were so welcoming and kind, and they assisted us in some of the logistics we had. Our driver who took us to the airport was awesome too. Again, great place and highly recommend staying here!

Alejandra and Ken were excellent hosts. My mom and me kicked of our Costa Rican vacation at the lovely Finca Paraiso retreat near San Jose. Beautiful vista, stunning flowers, homemade delicious breakfast as well as super comfy beds. We even got an upgrade and had our private sauna:) All our wishes e.g massage, doing laundry and a bottle of prosecco were handled by Alejandra efficiently and without hesitation. We could have not asked for a better start to our mother-daughter adventure. Once again muchas gracias Alejandra y Ken. All the best for you guys

From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were completely captivated—it felt like entering another world. Finca Paraiso is pure paradise, nestled in stunning natural surroundings—hydrangeas, orange trees, avocado trees, coffee plants, and more—with a peaceful atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. Ken and Alejandra are amazing hosts. You can tell they pour their hearts into this place, and having them personally take care of everything made us feel so welcome—like part of the family. It’s that kind of warmth and hospitality that makes all the difference. The location is also perfect. It’s just an hour from the airport, so you don’t waste time on long drives. The village is completely safe, and getting around is super easy with Uber—you can hop in a car and be at a great restaurant in no time. Out of all the places we’ve stayed in Costa Rica, this one is hands-down our favorite. We’ll definitely be coming back! If you’re looking for a place that feels like home but also like an escape, Finca Paraiso is it.
