Each bright room at Hotel Casa 69 features a fan, a fridge, a radio-alarm clock and a safe. The private bathrooms include a shower. I had a lovely stay at Hotel Casa 69! The staff were all kind and always greeted with a smile, which made the atmosphere feel warm and welcoming. Special thanks to Justin for being especially helpful and friendly during my stay, and also to Winston and the rest of the team, you’re all amazing! I also really enjoyed the breakfast each morning, it was a great way to start the day and I loved experiencing a typical Costa Rican breakfast 😊 Thank you for the great hospitality. I’d definitely stay here again! —Bryan

Set in Platanillo, less than 1 km from Nauyaca Waterfalls and 18 km from Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary, Luxury Apartments Nauyaca by Paradiselodge offers spacious air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi. The property features pool and garden views. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service. Sometimes people can’t be bothered to write reviews , however having such a wonderful stay with the fantastic staff and owners we feel obligated to try to put into words what a truly magnificent time we had at the Paradise Lodge Apartments. What a fantastic place and it all started each day with a wonderful breakfast. First a plate of fresh fruit picked right from the property, then a choice of omelet , scrambled eggs, sunny side up, or simple toast and jam made to order with a delicious side of rice and beans, fresh avocado, queso frito, and bacon. plus orange juice and delicious Costa Rican Coffee. From the moment we arrived the hospitality was excellent, taking our bags from the car to our super clean and spacious room and making sure we had everything we needed. The apartments are in side of a gated property which will give you a strong sense of security and safety, with ample parking very close to the rooms. The property is aptly named as it is truly a slice of paradise. From the little porch outside the rooms to the beautiful grounds and swimming pool every detail is spectacularly maintained. We wish we were able to spend more time on the property which I am sure we will do next time as we had some business to attend to on this trip so we weren’t able to enjoy the property as much as we would of liked. We did however find the time to explore the beautiful property including the shorter of the trails that go around the property. We just cant say enough about the fantastic time we had at this location. If your going to this area of Costa Rica stay at Paradise Lodge…. You wont regret it….

Providing a terrace with mountain views, this villa also provides guests with a flat-screen TV, a well-equipped kitchen with a microwave, a fridge and kitchenware, as well as 1 bathroom with a hot tub and free toiletries. The accommodation offers a fireplace. The view from the lodge is pretty spectacular, especially after dark when the stars come out. I'm hard pressed to remember anything like it from a sleeping quarter. It feels magical lying in bed and seeing this. There are flowers all around the place and you can have great walks in nature. We were 3 adults and a toddler. The size was perfect for us and you can even enjoy the view from the jacuzzi. The propriators were really friendly and flexible. Highly recommend.
