I was there when they opened the hotel. Nowadays it's like salef catering appartments, bu the place is great to stay a few days to relax and be surrounded by real nature. It's in a reasonable driving distacne from Manuel Antonio and the great beaches. It's also a paradise for trekking around the jungle.

Great place. It's all abaout nature.

The only reason why my review is not a 5-star one is because of the hotel's location. There's a log dirt road to get from Parrita to the hotel.

Aside from that, everything was great inside the hotel. You're welcomed by friendly staff, room was clean with A/C, the restaurant in te hotel is a bit pricey but it is delicious. I needed a special dessert for the first night and called them a couple of days before my arrival and they were able to set it up.

You can walk long distances with trails that will lead you to a waterfall. Different animals in the reserve to see.

If you love nature, this is a nice place to stay!

Nice hotels with animals, waterfalls and walk trails

The drive from Jaco beach to Hotel Paraiso was an adventure. We were very thankful it was not the rainy season.
The young woman at the reception was adorable, her English was as bad as my Spanish but we did pretty well communicating that we were there for a hike and lunch.
She suggested we only do the short 1 hours tour not the waterfall so that we would be back in time for lunch.
The trail was overgrown and not hiking friendly. Think of Romancing the Stone movie and the trek through the jungle - a machete would have come in handy.
The animal sanctuary was tired - we can only  hope the animals were well cared for.
There were more butterflies outside than in the conservatory.
The lunch was 3 courses for $18.00 - the food was average.
Service was excellent, the mango juice served with lunch was amazing.
The place looked tired and needs some loving.

Needs a little TLC

As the latest review is from last year I felt like writing about this hotel. It is a special place to stay for a couple of nights. 
We booked this hotel because most other hotels in the area of Manuel Antonio were fully booked. It takes approximately 1,5 hour drive to Quepos to enter Manuel Antionio National Parc. The hotel has a animal shelter and is surrounded by the beautiful rainforest. You can do a mini hike through the rainforest around the hotel, which is great! You see lots of animals, captured for their recovery. (Cayman, sloth, monkeys and they have a butterfly garden too).
The rooms/cabins are spacious but a bit outdated. 
As the place is very isolated -it takes a 45 minute drive on a dirt road before reaching the hotel- they serve a (3 course) plain dinner for 15 dollar. Breakfast is included.

The service could be much better. We got very poor information at our arrival. We had to find out ourself breakfast time, what the hotel is doing for the anmials. We didn't get any information about tours they offer, etc. Quite essential information I would say.
Don't expect a cool jump in the pool. The pool wasn't cleaned for ages and looked very dirty. 
It's a beautiful place but they can definitely make more out of it when they give more genuine attention to their guests. Nevertheless I reccommended the place if you feel like being surrounded by nature. 

Fascinating place but it could be much better 

Beware of your stay at the Hotel Paraiso Carlisa, it is in the middle of no mans land with the Boa snakes running free as well as the flying ants in your room. When you inform the management, their solution is to sweep the room and go for a walk, just for them to return again and again. The animals are suppose to be in rehab, however they are not and never released back to their home place no matter what condition they are in as well as not being feed with the right food. If you like a since of adventure this maybe the place for you being that it is out in the middle of no man's land. There is a very small waterfall about 3km tall, that is a short hike form the main road. They do have horses however they are in extremely poor condition and you cannot ride any of them. They do have a spa which they never have anyone to work it. 
The menu is lacking in so many ways and you are obligated to eat whatever they have to serve for the day.  This is no paradise, honeymoon or even a family place, if you stay more than a night, it is to long.
