"Incredibly good private rooms for a hostel and great value compared to the other town centre alternatives. For us, it felt like a hotel as we were keeping ourselves to ourselves at the beginning of the trip. Selina noted it was our honeymoon and decorated the bed with flowers which was really appreciated the night before transferring to Tortuguero. We also stayed two days in a premium room prior to staying at Tabacon for one night and returning back. The previous Selina booking was via another...

"The pictures does this place more justice than actually being here. This place is more for people on a solo trip. It gives more college free spirit vibe than friends and family. They give you a free shuttle service to one of the hot springs in la Fortuna which is a big thing out there. When we went to check out one of the staff was popping an older man’s pimples off his back and just waved us off. So we found that very unsanitary and the water was not hot, so we had to take a cold shower. "

"The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful, however, it was often difficult to find anyone, even during posted office hours. The beds were very uncomfortable; the bathroom was VERY small; hot water in the shower was unreliable; the bathroom smelled (we think from the sink); there was a small step down just inside the entrance and another into the bathroom that were potential tripping hazards; we were told coffee was available in the kitchen from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., but the door was locked...

"Great hostel in the heart of La Fortuna, situated 40 metres from Selina Hostel and 2 minutes from the bus terminal, main plaza and supermarkets. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped and the entire ambience of the place is calming and cozy. WiFi was great too. Note though that the 9 bed dorm consists of triple bunks."

"Alexandra is an amazing host. She was very accommodating, warm and helpful. She even brought us bread and pinto gallo in the morning. LIttle Paradise is well situated and all the major sights (La Fortuna, Arenal Volcano, Monteverde) are at most an hour drive away. The property is scenic and vast, with a beautiful view of the lake. Alexandra has big plans for the future too - a restaurant, spa and more. My travel buddy and I agree that we would have been happy to stay 2 weeks at Little Paradise -...

"Be sure to calibrate your expectations: this is not a luxury apartment. It was, however, an excellent value. While the building wasn't new, the room was well-kept. We were able to find parking each night on the street in front, but had to relocate the car closer one night. The owner is helpful and friendly, and the included breakfast of fruit, eggs, and gallo pinto was solid (especially at this price point). "

"Comfortable, fun house with an absolutely incredible view of the forest. The porches are perfect rain or shine and the extended yard down the trail is great for observing birds and butterflies. Felt immersed in the countryside. Close enough to town that going out is relatively quick and easy. Road into the house was in good shape."
