We arrived to the gated entrance well after night fall, and I wish that we had arrived during the daylight. The grounds are amazingly beautiful and well maintained. The service was impeccable. We were greated very warmly by the front desk staff amd quickly whisked away to our private entranced room. Immediately upon entering the room all of the worries... More

This was by far the most amazing stay we've stayed at touring CostaRica. Service is brilliant. Rooms are so clean!! Shower was hot and had great water pressure. Upon check in we are given chilled moist towels that were lightly scented w tropical flowers. Then fresh squeezed juice. Humming birds were outside our patio. I cannot say enough good things... More

We stayed here for 3 nights last week. The room was large and had a king bed and a queen bed. Both beds were very low, but I thought very comfortable. Just a change after staying at Peace Lodge where we needed step stools to get up into the bed :) There was a small closet by front door, with... More

Our room had an indoor waterfall shower! (There is a regular shower also). We were able to book this hotel at a moderate price. Given the complimentary parking, complimentary breakfast, security, well maintained and gorgeous property, and mini-hot springs we felt it was very worthwhile. This hotel served as an excellent base of operations to see Arenal, LaFortuna, Tabacon, and... More

First I have to say that my entire experience may have been different if my room included a fridge. If you get a junior suite you don't get a fridge or minibar. I guess in the larger room you get a kitchenette with a fridge.  My wife and stayed here while on our honeymoon in Costa Rica. It was our... More

Our time in La Fortuna was a tale of 2 halves. I'll start by focusing on specifically the hotel and then I'll give some general information about our time in La Fortuna. We were pleased upon first arriving at Hotel Mountain Paradise. The view of the volcano from the back patio was breathtaking but it should be said that almost... More

We really loved the Mountain Paradise Hotel. I read several reviews before leaving and some made me nervous. This is the thing, you are in the jungle so you will see bugs, bats, birds and amazing animals. If this is not your style I suggest you travel elsewhere. Costa Rica is all about exploring. The Mountain Paradise is no flares,... More

This hotel was wonderful. The service was great, the hot pool was great, the mini pool in front of our room with the view of the volcano was great. The grounds are so peaceful and lush with flowers and birds, it was so relaxing and wonderful to be here! More

Stayed here last year, during the rainy season, but it was still fantastic. It was gorgeous and sunny most of the day, and would downpour occasionally, but was usually back to sunshine in an hour or two! The hotel was stunning, the gardens surrounding all the hotel rooms were so lush and pretty. I loved how the hotel rooms were... More
