Отель El Paraiso Azul, Охоаль, Коста-Рика

Incredible views, with the sound of crickets and songbirds floating on the breeze.

The owner is absolutely lovely. She is an excellent resource for getting to know the area. The hotel is lovely with the best view!

What made the stay particularly memorable was my interactions with the owner, who also runs the hotel on a daily basis. She has much experience with the area and was a great info. source besides being very pleasant to talk with. The location was great for me: 1) excellent view of the ocean/river, 2) a 5 minute drive down to the beach just below the hotel for sunsets and some authentic Tico vibes; food was good too at the beach shacks, 3) my room had a good breeze through it and that with a ceiling fan kept it cool for sleeping. Note: the beach for sunsets is not a swimming beach since it is also the mouth of the river (crocodiles). But there is a beach across the river that is quite nice. You pay a Tico a few bucks to take you there and back. The hotel is located close to some great attractions: Mangrove Tour in Sierpe (must do if you want to see animals) and there are tours to Corcovado available (by boat). Restaurants in the area are quite good too.

Great pool. Small, but perfect temperature with a fabulous view.

Beautiful view of the ocean, fresh homemade breakfast, clean comfortable room, hot shower, great pool, woke up with Howler Monkeys, Sloth in the yard, nice Garden with lots of hummingbirds. This place has everything you come to Costa Rica to see. We will be back. All at a very affordable price.
