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 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!
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.
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.
This was way better than we expected. The pictures barely do the propert justice. Super great house with immaculate yard and pool, extra seating outside and outdoor kitchen facility. Only with I could have stayed longer! The owner was very helpful and responsive. Highest recommendation from myself and my friends who came with ne.
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.
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
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.
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.
Beautiful home and great place to stay. Jeffrey was absolutely amazing to talk with and answer my questions. First time in Costa Rica and would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful back yard! 20 min to airport! Hidden paradise indeed!
This is a great property super close to the airport. The backyard pool area has everything you need to hang out and enjoy friends and family.
Beds are comfortable and has awesome wood accents throughout. Highly recommend!

Beautiful paradise for sure! Lovely property- beautiful landscaping with several areas on the property to enjoy. Plenty of room inside the house with very comfortable air conditioning.
A wonderful place to stay if you want to relax. The house is everything the website shows. The only drawback is distance to restaurants and to the grocery store. Our overall stay was great!

The reviews I had read before booking this property were ALL true! This property is amazing! The pool is very beautiful and very clean. The owner of the property always communicated with us. The little fruit stand close by, on the main road, has fresh and great fruit selections. People are very friendly and kind.
It was a very nice and convenient place to stay. The owners welcomed us at the property after we checked in and explained things about the house that they felt were important. It was a good choice for us
There is a good neighborhood bar and grill a few doors down. Very convenient
