"The location is great in very quite place few minutes from Quepos caos, surrounded by vegetation and wild sounds. The owners Mary and Rudolf are absolutely nice they are always available to support you and to have speeches if you like but also fully respectful of your privacy. The room is simple with a large bathroom, very clean in spite to the fact that you are in a rural environment. You can relax outside on the external area reading or checking email (by WiFi hotspotted on 4G), listening the natural sounds of sourraundin forest. Suggest if you like, as my self, escape from the Quepos frenesia but without be so far. At 3 minutes driving is Lourdes a small village with shop (recharge of local phone available), restaurant, ice cream shop."

Great place for relaxing, not far from Quepos

I just wanted to review A little paradise B&B for other travelers in case they are interested. 

First, full disclosure - I made a reservation through Booking.com and did NOT end up staying there after arriving to the property. I opted to leave after seeing the place in person and here is why...

Know that the owners are super sweet. They were so nice and wanted to accommodate the best they could, but due to reasons I will explain they couldn't. 

It is important to know that I was traveling with my mother and my 3 year old son. We requested a room with two double beds. Prior to arriving we spent 4 nights, 3 days at the Arneal Observatory Lodge in La Fortuna. The AOL was located on the mountain and fairly isolated from town and the access road was about 10km of very rough road. 

With that said, after driving five hours from La Fortuna to Quepo, we really wanted to stay closer to the action. The road leading to the B&B was similar to what we had just experienced in La Fortuna. Unpaved, dirt and stone. It was roughly 9kms to the B&B. 

The coordinates provided didn't quite get us to the B&B, but I tried going a little further and saw a little sign pointing in the direction of travel stating it was 600 m. 

After driving on a rough road, we went up a hill and came to a wooden gate, which required you to get out and open yourself. You then drive down more unpaved road until you reach their property. 

Again, the owners were so sweet. The property is actually quite interesting and lovely. The building was two levels and very open. The "ocean view" room with two double beds was a bit misleading. There is no ocean anywhere near the property. The property is VERY isolated and would require a very bumpy ride every time you came and left. 

The room was small, but it would have been okay for just me. They offered to give us both available rooms - one on the bottom floor and one on the second floor, but that wasn't really going to work. 

Additionally, the bathroom is shared and on the second floor, so be aware of that if you have a tendency to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. 

The owners slept on a bed in a corner on the second floor, which was surrounded by curtains. 

On the property were three dogs (all adorable!), a cat and chickens. Monkeys were all over and it was wonderful to see them in the trees. 

I didn't inquire about the meals, but I know from the Booking site they charge extra for breakfast and dinner. I'm sure they would provide space if you brought your own food. 

I do feel they were overpriced given the location and amenities. I'm sure other B&B's and hostels would be more reasonably priced, in a better location. 

If you are coming to Quepos to get away from civilization then this place is for you! If you want to be near the activities, including the national park, beach and restaurants, then I would reconsider. 

Oh, even though the location is remote, I was concerned about security. I'm sure it wasn't intended, but the owners did mention the property had been burglarized and that even the dog was a little shaken up by it! 

So because of everything written above, my family opted to go into Quepos and stay. We ended up at Costa Verde, which was way more expensive, but well worth it and the views were truly ocean views!
