Pacific Paradise Resort

We stayed at Pacific Paradise Resort as part of a group tour through Costa Rica. While it wasn’t our favorite accommodation of the trip, it certainly had its good points and provided a decent place to rest after a long travel day. The rooms were clean, spacious, and set in a lush, green environment that gave a nice tropical feel. However, one downside was the lack of a refrigerator in the room. If you wanted one, you had to pay a significant extra fee and share a small kitchenette with the neighboring room—not ideal, especially if you expected some basic private amenities. That said, the staff kindly offered to store drinks at the bar for guests, which was a helpful workaround. The pool area is large and inviting—great for a refreshing swim—but unfortunately there were too few loungers available, and several were either broken or uncomfortable. It made relaxing by the pool a bit less appealing. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and welcoming, always ready to help. Breakfast and dinner were both nicely prepared and served with care. The breakfast buffet had a decent variety, and the evening meals were flavorful and satisfying. All in all, Pacific Paradise offers a peaceful, green setting and a good level of basic comfort. With a few upgrades—like improved poolside furniture and more flexible room amenities—it could really stand out. Not a bad stay at all, and with the warm hospitality, it still managed to leave a generally pleasant impression.

Het hotel heeft een leuke uitstraling. Met een zwembad. Er was een restaurant bij het hotel omdat het nogal een eindje bujten het dorp ligt. In ieder geval niet op loopafstand en langs een drukke weg. Het restaurant sluit alleen al om 20.00 uur en dan valt er niets meer te drinken dus ben je verplicht naar je kamer te gaan. Er zit ook geen zitje buiten bij de kamer dus dan is het verplicht wachten tot je naar bed gaat. Dat was voor ons een groot minpunt. De kamer was wel super schoon. Het personeel enorm vriendelijk. Ik was ziek en ze hebben er echt alles gedaan om me beter te laten voelen. Ze kwamen regelmatig even polsen hoe het ging. Dus dat is echt weer een groot pluspunt. De kamers zijn wel heel gehoorlijk.
