We staid one night to visit the Poas vulcano and ended up regretting not staying longer. The cozy bungalows are surrounded by a little paradise of a garden, attracting numerous tropical birds. Despite us staying only one night, Nadine put super much effort into making us feel comfortable, from helping us with accessibility issues, to the dinner and breakfast service, or providing us with recommendations for activities. She and her friend were so kind and accommodating and we had a great time!

“A very good accommodation close to the airport, though access within the property a bit challenging”
The owner was super nice, friendly and helpful Breakfast was excellent, more generous than the average Costa Rican hotel breakfast The setting of the property is very nice, with lots of greenery.

“Great layover from the airport ! Wonderful introduction to Costa Rica!”
Beautiful lodges in the most gorgeous jungle gardens ! Such friendly hosts . We stayed with our children for 2 nights after a very long flight . We had two lodges , very comfortable beds and spotless ! Lovely hammock to sit out in the garden ! We were picked up from the airport very late at night and still had a lovely meal made for us ! Breakfast the next morning was wonderful! The views and the plants were amazing the best introduction to Costa Rica ! Myriam was super helpful giving recommendations of places to eat and see ! We stayed 2 nights to get over our journey before beginning our Costa Rica road trip and it was the perfect place !

We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Costa Rica than our stay at Nadine’s Paradise! Despite our flight delay, Nadine kindly picked us up at midnight, and we woke up to breathtaking scenery with exotic birds all around. Even the heavy rain couldn’t dampen the beauty of this place. Nadine is a warm and thoughtful host who goes out of her way to make her guests feel welcome. We’re already hoping to book our last night here on our way back to the airport. Such a special place—merci beaucoup, Nadine! 💚

Very friendly owner, very helpful and accommodating.. The property is a lovely oasis of flowers, birds and trees so close to San Jose. Super handy for the airport : easy access, no need to go into SJ, and Nadine can arrange car rental from the property. Food shops an easy taxi ride away for eating in although Nadine also has a set dinner available if needed. Would return without hesitation

“Relaxing garden of paradise”
What a fantastic place. Unfortunately we only stayed one night on the last day of our trip as it is only 20 mins drive from the airport. However it is such a paradise, in the middle of a fairly developed area, that we wish we could have stayed longer. The cabin is wonderful and the gardens exceptional. An obvious work of care and love. All the little extra touches make it really enjoyable. Luckily we did have time on our final day to spend the afternon relaxing in the garden, swinging in the hammock on our balcony and generally chilling to reflect on a great holiday and prepare for the arduous journey home. Bed was really comfortable. Shower very good and the sink had a plug - the only time in 18 nights (and 5 locations) this was true. Room had fridge and safe plus tea/coffee making. Balcony area was great too with chirs, table, lounger. Perfect for what we wanted on our last day. But if you are looking to explore it's an excellent base for the main attractions of the area such as La Paz and Volca Poas (which we did visit a couple of weeks earlier from a different location). There was a large shower when we arrived and umbrellas are provided in that instance and there is even an umbrella stand outside the cabin - not much overlloked here. Only thing I can't comment on is facilities nearby such as shops, restaurants as we ate in with supplies we tok with us from previous location. The owner is a lovely lady who has a real passion for the place. Also excellent breakfast provided in lovely conservatory area.

“Excellent!”
Wake up in paradise! After a long flight this place was the remedy, beautiful gardens, fenced in so the kids can run around and explore. Fantastic breakfast. Close to the airport but feels like you are in the middle of nowhere!
