“Wow - More than I could have imagined” This was the best family vacation we have ever had. While I was being pampered with Spa Services at the house (a facial and body scrub with homemade organic products), the kids were riding horseback and my husband was sitting by the pool. We loved it.

“Our Stay at Lattice House was magical, the view breathtaking, th” Lattice House is a dream home in a beautiful setting with a perfect view. Waking each morning to drink delicious Costa Rican coffee on the side deck with my binoculars and bird book, visited by Toucans, kites, woodpeckers, and more, is an experience I will cherish. The delicious food, cooked by alexandra and Farina was among the best we have ever enjoyed, and ana's graciousness and attentiveness to our every need made the week unforgettable. Thank you to all for a wonderful family vacation.

“Room with a View” This place offers a spectacular view of the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. It is perfect for short stays (Kate & I spent 4 nights). Don't try to use the washer/dryer without the handbook or some command of Spanish, but do take part in 'Taco Tuesday' at the San Clemente Bar & Grill in Dominical Village. Jane & Ryan have a treasure in their caretaker, Edwin. While we don't often return to places we visit (after all, there are so many places to see) we would make an exception for this 'laid back' paradise... and 'Taco Tuesday'. Cheers, steve o

“Everything you expect” My wife and I recently stayed at Casa de Cinema for 10 nights. It was awesome!! We chose the rainy season to avoid the tourists and were not disappointed. If you're looking for the nightlife and normal touristy locations that you can walk to, then this is not the place for you. However, if it's secluded nature with modern convenience you're after, then this is exactly what you're looking for! About the house: It's a great space with a nice open living/dining area that opens on to a huge porch overlooking the pool. We spent most of our time on the porch enjoying the cool nights and listening to nature. Two separate bedrooms each with their own bath was nice. With just the two of us, we used one as a dressing room and we each had our own bathroom. The power drops out for a second or two maybe twice a day, but that's the nature of Costa Rican living. It really didn't get in the way of anything. The pool has plants surrounding it for privacy and blocks the view of the ocean, but you can just walk up the stairs to the cinema (huge covered patio) and have your morning coffee with a view. About the area: The house is a few (6) kilometers from Dominical up a mountain road. The road is not paved, but gets graded twice a year so it's easy to drive. We drove it in both dry conditions and heavy rain and had no problems. There are lots of howler monkeys in the area that move around daily. They hung out in the trees about 150ft from the house on several mornings! Awesome!! Also, there's a great waterfall and swimming hole only 30 feet from the road up. Great hidden spot! About the hosts: Toby and his wife Kim were great! They live in a house up the hill and were extremely nice and accommodating to anything we needed. The microwave went out and 3 hours after we notified them, it was replaced. Toby's a musician and has a little recording studio at the cinema. Kim is an artist and has her studio up the hill from their house. Summary: This is a fantastic place to stay!!

“An absolute incredible and beautiful oasis!” Villa Los aires was such a wonderful experience! The staff was very helpful and friendly. The grounds were impeccable, and the accommodations were beyond my expectations. This was such an incredible experience, and one that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Costa Rica. The rooms were very comfortable, and I absolutely enjoyed the hikes on the grounds to the waterfalls. Wow!

“Highly Reccomend!!!” My cousin and I stayed for just over three weeks at Dave and Deb's place this past summer. The studio/accommodations are absolutely beautiful and you are provided with everything you need. The view from the balcony is stunning and the beach and the waterfall (which was my favorite place by the way!) are easily within walking distance. This was one of the best vacations I've ever been on. Dave and Deb are very hospitable and make you feel right at home. So much so that I feel like we walked away with lifelong friends. Dominical is a lovely little town, the locals are friendly and hospitable and there is great surfing. There are also some fun running trails all over the jungle or you can go on a breathtaking beach run. :) We were very happy and satisfied with our stay and would recommend this to any of our friends or family in a heartbeat.

“Best of Both Worlds...Mountain and Beach” Bob and Bea were wonderful hosts starting with showing us the way at 9:30 at night and then giving us 2 bags of groceries because we didn't stop on our way. 4x4 rental is no joke, but we enjoyed the off roading adventure. Pool and house were wonderful and spacious...I swam laps every day and our son was in starting at 6am. Two of the days we didn't leave the house at all because the views and poolside chairs will draw you in. One night we turned all the lights off in the house and laid out in the lawn chairs and looked at the stars. Download a star chart app...so beautiful with no light pollution. Take all the tours Bob recommends and eat at The Dome in Uvita. Bea's dogs and critters kept us company. I would highly recommend this house and Dominical. This was our first trip and we will be back!

“Villa Cristal was amazing!” We stayed at Villa Cristal for a week and it was gorgeous and the property was beautiful! Emanuel was wonderful! He booked all of our excursions and had directions for us and had our own private cell phone to call him if we needed anything! We enjoyed every excursion we went on. This place is wonderful and I would go back in a heartbeat! And, I would trust Emanuel and Esteban with my vacation again!

“Truly Phenomenal and Unparalleled Beauty !!!” Cecile and I arrived very late in the night and it was great to have outstanding directions from Dave and Deb on how to get from San Jose to Dominical...they really do want you to have an excellent time and not to worry about anything but what to do next and where to eat. Heading back from the beach or rainforest hike it is just heaven to take a dip in the pool and sit out on the patio and just watch the waves roll in. It is amazing that if you look out the front door you can see up to the mountains and see the clouds roll in when it is about to rain and out the back you can see the beach...both a mountain and beach view. Make sure that when you hear a bark at the front door that you let in a wonderful female copper-colored dog which we named "Penny". She comes in and wants a cool drink of water, hangs out a bit, and then goes right back out the door...very adorable...she did not like my cooking but she may like yours. Seriously folks, if you are looking for an excellent value for the money that is centrally located where you can go 40 mins one way and be in Manual antonio, Jaco, or Quepos...or spend 1 hour beach hopping all the way down to Golfito, you need to stay here. We had such a wonderful time getting away from all the kids and work and reconnecting as a couple...recharged our batteries that we are coming back with some of our family members in December for Christmas in Costa Rica at Costa del Mar !!!

“Ocean views and beautiful accommodations!” This is a beautiful place to stay! The living space is bright, cheerful, clean, and roomy. The views of the ocean are stunning, and the patio/deck area is a perfect way to enjoy sunrise and/or sunset. The owner is more than accommodating -- if you request, the owner will create optional itineraries for you based on your interests. Wonderful restaurants and beaches nearby. Fabulous!

“Originally came to Paradise Breezes in 2012, returned in 2013 an” This was a family vacation and we had an excellent time. In 2012 my wife and I went and we raved about what a good time we had. In 2013 my family wanted to go and they too were not disappointed. The property is immaculately maintained and the staff is wonderful. Emanuel- the concierge made sure all of our needs were met and more. We had Chef Wilberth cook for us everyday and I highly recommend at least having him make at least one meal. We mostly relaxed, but we did take a tour to Manuel antonio National Park. I do not remember our guide's name but he was amazing! He was able to spot insects and animals in seemingly nondescript lush vegetation. Lastly, we had massages from and they were so relaxing. Paradise Breezes is a great property. I have stayed two of the Villas (Cristal & Buena Vista) and both were fantastic. My only complaint is the internet speed is very slow, which is not a huge deal because we came to relax.

“A Little Piece of Heaven on Earth!!” We could not have been more happy with this Villa! The views were spectacular and we felt very much at home! The private pool was absolutely awesome and we spent many afternoons just relaxing! Storm and Amy were exceptional hosts' and we were welcomed with a lovely basket of wine, coffee and fruit, a very nice touch! Amy personally greeted us shortly after our arrival and was available if we needed anything. Amy and Storm arranged all of our excursions and they were fabulous! I highly recommend all of the excursions and restaurants they suggest. They left a very detailed and helpful list of things to do, places to go and directions to local grocery stores, etc! I would HGHLY recommend this Villa and Storm and Amy to my nearest and dearest and we hope to be back next year! PURA VIDA!!!

“Private, comfortable home with relaxing views and great pool!” Casa Bonita is an amazing home away from home! The pictures truly don't do it justice. The house is very spacious and comfortable, the grounds are beautiful, and the pool is huge! We had three generations enjoying Casa Bonita, and it was fun and relaxing for all. Walking distance to a beautiful wide beach with great surf, and a view of the Pacific that I could stare at forever. The location was perfect for us: away from the tourists, but very close to great food...we ate in a different restaurant every night, and we're still talking about how delicious the food was. Casa Bonita is an easy drive to Manuel antonio National Park (a must see!), and an easy drive the opposite direction to the best zip-line tour I can imagine (Osa Canopy tour). We felt close to everything, without being in the center of it all...great privacy, and our concierge Romulo was outstanding! He's very attentive, and has excellent advice on everything you'll want to know. His advice really made our zip-line tour and Manuel antonio NP adventures the best they could be. We also enjoyed the wildlife at Casa Bonita: iguanas and toucans abound! You are in the jungle here, so there are some insects, but nothing bothersome in the house. The a/C in the bedrooms was very comfortable at night, but there's usually a nice ocean breeze as well. If you want to enjoy the real Costa Rica, and have an exceptionally wonderful and comfortable home base, Casa Bonita is the place to be.
