Recent Costa Rica vacation rental reviews

We absolutely loved our stay at Azul Paraíso 7B. The condo was brand new and felt truly luxurious. The space was amazing, and for our family of six it was absolutely perfect—comfortable, spacious, and beautifully designed. Our mornings and evenings were spent on the deck enjoying the incredible views and unforgettable sunsets. The pool was just right for relaxing after our morning beach time. We’ve stayed in several condos in this area, and this is definitely one we will return to. A special shout-out to Daniel, our concierge—he was incredibly responsive and super helpful with a few special requests we had, which made our stay even better. I not only highly recommend this property, but we will absolutely be back in the future. We felt safe in the gated complex as well. Don’t hesitate—book it. One important note: I strongly recommend having a car. It really makes the experience much better for getting to the beach, restaurants, and grocery store. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed. Truly a 5-star stay all around.

It was one of the best places I've been to, quiet location, clean, very comfortable, and at a very great price

Why vacation in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth. You'll find sloths napping in trees, dolphins leaping near your boat, and monkeys chattering in the canopy—all within a single day if you plan it right.

The beauty runs deeper than beaches and rainforests, though. It’s in how the country treats its environment, how it welcomes travelers, and how life seems to slow down just enough to notice more, savor longer, and breathe deeper.

With direct flights from North America, great infrastructure, and a wide variety of vacation types—from wild adrenalin to slow eco-luxury—it’s no wonder Costa Rica tops bucket lists around the world.
