Our stay at El Parayso was just that...PARADISE! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Communication was seamless from the moment we booked and Michael greeted us upon arrival and gave us the lay of the land (we rented a car and there was ample parking in the driveway). The guest house was immaculate and so tastefully decorated - it had an upscale beachy/ tropical vibe. It was fully stocked with everything you'd need (extra linens, toiletries, cookware, spices, condiments, etc). One random thing I really appreciated was the lighting throughout the space - different types and levels of brightness dispersed all over and it gets great natural light too. The grounds and pool were SPECTACULAR. The landscaping and decor was more beautiful and elaborate than what I've seen at some resorts. It was so peaceful and relaxing to just tan, swim, and veg out in your own little paradise. We were very close to grocery stores, restaurants, etc (5 min drive) and about 10-15 from the beach. We also took walks around the neighborhood most mornings and the area is very quiet - the residents we encountered were friendly as well. We can't wait to return! Thanks again Michael!!
