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.

The kitchenette comes with a toaster, a fridge and a stovetop and there is a private bathroom with a hair dryer and free toiletries. The property has an outdoor dining area. We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Paradise Lodge! From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel incredibly welcome – warm, attentive, and always ready to help with recommendations or anything we might need. The location is truly breathtaking: surrounded by lush jungle, yet perfectly situated as a base for exploring nearby waterfalls, heading to the beach, or enjoying a surf day in Dominical. On top of that, it’s the perfect starting point for unforgettable adventures. The hosts can help organize whale watching tours, diving trips, or visits to national parks. They also know the hidden spots where you can see sloths and other wildlife – away from the crowds and mass tourism. The apartments are spotless, beautifully maintained, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The highlight for us was the stunning pool with its peaceful atmosphere, as well as the private jungle trail on the property. Walking along the path felt magical – with the chance to spot wildlife and a small stream with a charming waterfall waiting at the end. Paradise Lodge is the perfect mix of comfort, nature, and hospitality. We left feeling refreshed and inspired, and we would recommend it without hesitation to anyone visiting this part of Costa Rica.

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. Very clean. Great hiking trails for those of us that wanted to go. Jacuzzi bath for those that didn't. Comfortable bed and couch. We had all we needed for cookware to cook for a group of 10. We didn't realize we couldn't use a credit card up there but Gravin came to the rescue and so we were able to get the food we needed at the little store there. Gravin was so accommodating and a great host! We can't wait to come back.

The 1-bedroom apartment features a living room with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a fully equipped kitchen with an oven and a microwave, and 1 bathroom with a hair dryer. Towels and bed linen are available in the apartment. It felt very private with the sound of the river and the other properties being quite far. It offers some great trails up the river, the house had some great views by itself, and we were even lucky enough to catch a Quetzal on their lookout point. Best value for the zone imo.
