Everything was very nice and great. The only thing I did not like was the bed was too hard for my liking other than that. It was a very nice trip. The staff was very nice and pleasant. The restaurant had good food and the bar had cold beer. I would probably return in the future.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Everything was very convenient as the beach is literally across the street. There is a bar overlooking the beach. The only night that we ate there the food was really good. Would go again!!!!!!
We stayed at Paraiso Beach Hotel for a total of 4 nights in Feb/24 in both the family rooms, and the 2-person rooms The rooms are very comfortable. Hot water, and air conditioning....ahhh The little "huts" you see in the pictures are duplexes with two of the 2-person rooms side-by-side. The family rooms are also comfortable, and have 4 family rooms side-by-side in a building. The family room would be tight with four adults + luggage. One of the beds we came across during our stay we found a little hard, but a request of a different mattress cover fixed that. The rates are better if you book directly on their website. The gals in the office are fantastic. Shout out to Angie. The staff in the restaurant were a little quiet, and difficult to get to know. We found all of the food in the restaurant really good, and reasonably priced (compared to Arenas). The free breakfast was welcomed. During my initial research I thought the resort was a bit of a walk to the beach but that is not the case. You can see the water from the resort. Beach loungers are readily available, and the rolling waves on that side of the island are fun to swim in. There is a nice breeze on that side of the island. Big beach towels can be signed out at the office, and we were told they will cost $10 if they are not returned. We were able to store our luggage in the office while we took a 2-night trip to Little Corn and returned to Paraiso. The only downside of the resort is that they "contract" with a fellow by the name of Frank for golf cart, scooter rental, and fishing excursions. Unfortunately he is not dependable at all, and I would try to avoid any business dealings with him. Big Corn was our favourite island between the two. Unfortunately we did not find stellar snorkelling on either island. Taxi 0009 was our go-to-guy for taxi rides. Great guy by the name of Marlin. Call him on whatsapp 8639-6776, and tell him the "Fab Four" recommended him. He set-up a fishing trip for you too. The taxi we flagged at the airport charged us for luggage, so confirm first! Avoid Pepe! We visited Arenas once for lunch, and the floating bar. If you are looking for an AI, pricier, more commercialized feel, then Arenas would probably be better suited to you, but know that it is very still on that side of the island, with no breeze whatsoever. Paraiso has more of a small family-oriented vibe. We would return to Paraiso.
I have stayed at this property on previous trips and the staff was friendly, location was good. This trip however I need to take off a night due to a delayed flight. I called the booking company and the said that they will need to contact the property. I called the property and explained and was told it can only be done in an app. I explain that the app was trying to call them to correct and the manager refused to understand and said no changes can be made. I had been warned by locals about doing business with him and now I know why. Very disappointed
Fantastic place to stay and enjoy the island. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, A/C is positioned in an angle that cools the room and won’t be hitting your face like most hotels, this is a plus. Grounds are well maintained and palm trees are plentiful creating a cozy and inviting garden with a truly island feeling. Food is spectacular, specially sea food is quite remarkable, my recommendation; Fish ceviche Peruvian style, you won’t be disappointed.
A white sand beach is just in front of hotel, water is crystal clear and turquoise with a mild surf.
Ton and Joanne are fantastic in running Paraíso Beach Hotel, greeting guests, and welcoming guests with open arms, ensuring guest satisfaction. My family and I, had the opportunity to stay for a few days enjoying our time in the island. We wished to extend our stay but rooms were booked solid.
We left Paraíso Beach Hotel feeling we had made new friends with Ton and his wife Joanne. We are planning to return in the near future with our kids to enjoy this special place.
Ton thank you for making our stay so memorable.
