Unbelievable value and top quality. Modern room with all amenities super friendly and helpful staff. Owner, manager, and assistant manager couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. They booked all my tours and arranged pickup in San Jose. I highly recommend it! Can’t wait to return.

The perfect vacation spot in Costa Rica… Thank you for a great week. You’ll be seeing me again shortly!

Super clean rooms with high ceilings and nicely equipped kitchen.  Monkeys, macaws and more sighted while enjoying morning coffee on our private balcony.  Short public bus ride to Manuel Antonio park and the public beach.  Jim snd his staff were wonderful - willing to answer all our questions and to help when we got overwhelmed with  trip planning logistics.  Would go back in a heartbeat!

clean, spacious and welcoming

This hotel lives up to it's name, it was definitely paradise to us.  Our corner room was excellent, had balconies on 2 sides, on which I spent a lot of time sloth-spotting! (unsuccessful). At least we did have a visit from the monkeys one day, running around on the roof and in the trees. Was also very well equipped in the kitchen area so we managed to have breakfast at the hotel every day.
Ideal location, Manuel Antonio was more compact than it appeared on the map, quite walkable to the beach but also the local bus was very frequent and cheap.
If I am ever lucky enough to re-visit Costa Rica I would stay here again for sure.  Thank you so much to the extremely helpful staff and friendly manager.

Perfect!

Everything was perfect! clean and large apartment, very comfortable bed! kitchen well equipped! staff was very nice and helpful! but the best thing was the animals you could see from our balcony! I had the best time!! truly a peace of paradise! unforgettable! highly recommend! I really hope to return one day!

beyond ours expectations

This place is one of the best we've stayed at in all of Costa Rica. Been travelling for 4 weeks now. Big room, huge bed, kitchen, fridge, eating place and padio. Outside our windiw we had a baby sloth, 2 scarlet macraws and a bunch of other birds and enlarged guinea pigs (dont know their name). Nice host and close to the public bus that takes you to Manuel Antonio along with supermarked really close by. 
Would def. stay again !

A piece of paradise

My husband and I had a week long stay at this beautiful hotel in Costa Rica.
The people running it are very helpful and made our stay one to remember! The kitchen was great, plenty of space, clean and very safe.
Highly recommend it.

Beautiful and affordable !

After searching the internet for quiet some time for a nice place to stay in Manuel Antonio (or Quepos), we came across this place - which is LITERALLY A PEACE OF PARADISE.

It is super close to:
• The BUS stop (not trivial)
• A large supermarket
• Nice restaurants and cafe's

And last but not least - the rooms are super nice, well equiped and spacious.

Therefore, if you visit Manuel Antonio and seek to go to the park and the amazing beach, I definitely recommend this place.

Note: some guys at the reception do not speak English at all, use Google Translate in order to communicate (or even better - learn Spanish!)

Probably the best value for money in Manuel Antonio

I stayed at Peace of Paradise for a total of 9 days over 2 stays. I had such an amazing time I didn't want to leave! Everything was great from the staff being wonderful, accommodations being cozy and clean and the apartment having everything and more one could need not to mention the coffee and fresh picked fruit left for me. The location was perfectly situated very close to a market and bus stop to the beach/ park, but set just a bit back from the busier main road. From my balcony I saw monkeys almost daily, breathtaking macaws and toucans. Jim & Carlos were wonderful and made sure I was very comfortable throughout my entire stay, Carlos even went into the very dense garden at night (with who knows what crawling on him) to help me get my phone after I accidentally dropped it- thank you again!! The kitchen was very well equipped so I was able to prepare my own meals some days, it was also a very short walk to some GREAT local eats (thanks to Jim's local recommendations)! I loved my stay so much I would like to return for a month next time! I really could not have been any happier, thank you so much again for a lovely stay!

Such an amazing stay!!

I really enjoyed my stay at Peace of Paradise. I had read all the great reviews and I was not disappointed in the least. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the nature surrounding the hotel is really beautiful and lush. Jim the manager is fantastic, he was always willing to help with any advice and is just a really nice guy. Jim will make phone calls to help with tour bookings, or anything else that you really need to get done. The hotel itself is also in a very convenient location that is close to many restaurants, the local bus and the convenience market on the corder. Staying here was an excellent value.  Thank you Jim and team at Peace of Paradise.

Casual, Clean and a Great Value

First, the facts: 

Total stay: 15 Days
Season: "Green Season"
Accommodations: "The White Dove" suite

Ok... now the details...

Peace of Paradise is a wonderful little boutique hotel located just about 40 meters off the main drag in Manuel Antonio, a tiny town that cropped up around the world famous national park of the same name.

If you're looking for a large resort nestled on a quiet beach, then you should go stay in one, because Peace of Paradise offers something different... something better. This place offers (and delivers) a true Costa Rica experience with US-style creature comforts.

Amenities included in our "White Dove" suite were: Full Kitchen, AC, Cable TV/Internet, HOT WATER!, a king-size bed, 2 bathrooms and the decor was very comfortable and inviting. But honestly we spent most of our "in room" experience on the balcony watching the wildlife, which included: scarlet macaws, sloths, white-face monkeys, and capybaras. We could also hear howler monkeys and tree frogs. Again, this is right from our balcony!

The hotel is nestled in a kind of local neighborhood and because of that, you get to do some pretty incredible things... like buying 15 eggs off a local truck for $1.80, or three of the tastiest pineapples you've ever had for a buck.

Within a 3 minute walk down the street from the hotel is small bodega, a bakery, a pizza place and a local "soda" (small, tico restaurant) and we tried them all. Walk about 5 more minutes and you're near some of the best restaurants and views in Costa Rica.

Every time we would walk up and down the street, the neighbors who lived in the area would smile and seemed glad to see business returning to the area. 

So the location is ideal. It just is.

That said, now let me gush about the staff. Jim,  Cline, Jem, Carlos and Andrey made our trip spectacular. With Jim greeting us as we arrived, he showed us our place and was kind enough to even offer us an upgrade (which we accepted!) because of the longer-than-usual length of our stay. Jim was present for questions, let us ask anything and everything, and was even helpful with suggestions on restaurants and excursions. He even wrote us out a map of directions to head to find the various eateries he'd mentioned. Talk about above and beyond!!

A few days into our stay, Jim asked us if we'd like to have dinner with the staff and we accepted immediately. He knew our entire purpose in coming to the country was to consider it as a possible retirement destination and wanted to show us a little more of the area. What Jim couldn't have known was that that night we kind of came to the conclusion that Costa Rica was definitely where we would land.

Then there's Carlos and Andrey, the hard working crew of the place. When a guest had a tire emergency, the two of them lept into action and in a rainforest downpour, changed the tire for the guests right there in the street! When I wanted to try my hand and making a traditional Tico style dinner in our full kitchen, Andrey suggested a good place to buy the meat I wanted to use, and how to get there. 

We even would occasionally come back to our room with more fresh fruit in our kitchen, like limes, bananas and oranges.

I'm already almost 3,500 characters into this review and it feels like I've barely scratched the surface because of how completely amazing this stay was, but I need to add two more things...

The intention was to stay 19 or 20 days. My husband and I would both be there together for 10 days, then I would return to the US for work (he gets way more time off than I do) and he would stay for another 10 days to really explore the area some more. However, just four days after I got back, I wound up in the ER needing emergency gallbladder surgery and my husband quickly flew back to help. We communicated with the hotel that we had to check out early so they could, if possible, get some more renters in there asap. We had pre-paid for the stay and never expected any kind of refund. But once again, Peace of Paradise and their team surprised us when they credited us for the time not used.

This is an amazing place, made better by the people who run it and love it.

Stay here. If it's for a night, you'll love it. Stay longer if you can. You deserve it. They deserve it. It's so worth it.
