Paraiso Volcano Lodge

We love this place. Gorge and his family were so nice and kind. We highly recommended.

Owner: friendly& will help get transportation setup to the property. If you don't have a car, I strongly advise you not to stay here. It isn't walkable & if you aren't on the route to LIR,roads are terrible. Property landscaping is pretty.I had asked if we could see the coffee plantation via messaging and he told us we could see production, however after checking in at 3:30p, he just pointed to where the beans were growing & told me which way to go in the pathway to get to them. Room: clean, but very basic.There were 4 of us& it had exactly 4 towels. No washcloths or hand towels. We asked for 1 more towel in the morning & he said there were no more. No air conditioning, so it's hot & humid. I asked for an extra fan& he brought one quickly. Beds are very hard (I think very firm memory foam mattress) & have half sized pillows. Bathroom door had a lock on the outside which seemed odd, you could actually place a pad lock on it to lock someone in. Maybe this is common in Costa Rica? Absolutely nothing to do w/ kids& no food on the grounds, no bottled or filtered water. He said there was a restraunt 400 meters down the street, but it was pouring rain all evening &we had no car, so we couldn't go eat.For breakfast, you do not get a choice: SMALL bowl of fresh fruit, 1 scrambled egg, about 1/4 cup rice/beans, small slice of avocado (maybe half of a 1/4 avocado), 1 piece of cheese, a few thin plaintain slices. It's cooked fresh& quickly. Good coffee. Cash payment required at checkin
