This was our 3rd and final destination for our 8 day trip to Costa Rica! We stayed 3 nights in this cool homey 2 storey. The yard was incredible, we seen monkeys and a sloth right in the yard! Ron was the perfect mix of socable and giving us space. The gazebo was wonderful with lighting, a ceiling fan and great hamocks! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen provided us with almost everything we needed! The beach was right across the street and had beautiful sunsets, very few people, and amazing crashing waves!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Slice of Paradise! Comfortable, very clean and safe. Ron and Giselle have created a lovely spot a one minute walk from the beach in Matapalo. They were very kind and were there if we needed anything but also gave us our space and privacy. Our bed was extremely comfortable and there was ample room for a big family in the Bungalow as well as a separate apartment for even more accommodation. Having lived in the area for over 25 years, Ron is a wealth of local knowledge and information. The beach out front is a true tropical paradise with very few people. Beautiful sunsets every evening were only matched by the wild life that came by daily, including monkeys and macaws. Looking forward to staying here again! Thanks Ron and Giselle!

My husband and I stayed at Slice of Paradise for five nights and loved every minute. The bungalow is located behind the hosts’ home and is completely separate and private. On the first floor there’s a full kitchen with everything you need (including a drip coffee maker, microwave, toaster, blender, and air fryer), a living room with a couch, a chair, and a daybed; a half bath; and a large closet with beach chairs and boogie boards. Upstairs is a full bath with a huge shower, a very large bedroom with two king beds, and a balcony that looks toward the mountains. Steps from the front door is a gazebo with comfortable chairs and hammocks and a powerful ceiling fan. The neighborhood monkeys and dogs come to visit frequently. The beach is a three-minute walk from the front door if you walk slowly. At its very most crowded there might be a dozen people there, but we often had it all to ourselves. The water was very warm. The neighborhood is very quiet. If you’re looking for activity, Dominical is a ten-minute drive away. Lots of tours and adventures are available within a short drive. In sum, this is a fantastic property for a relaxing vacation. Ron and Giselle are great hosts—-always available for questions but providing plenty of privacy.

My family of 5 had a fantastic stay. We used both bungalows, although the bigger bungalow (that I am reviewing here) was plenty big enough for the 5 of us. Air conditioning was excellent in the bedroom upstairs and the living and kitchen area downstairs, which mattered to me! Staying in this home really felt like staying in the jungle, with plenty of wildlife from the lizards that join you, to the monekeys that came by and even ate from my family’s hands! Ron and his wife Giselle were very kind and considerate hosts, and live next door on the same plot so they are always on hand. Ron was able to recommend a fantastic wildlife tour where we saw monkeys, crocodiles, even an ocelot! And recommended many other activities. He is well connected in the area. We loved that the location felt ‘local’, and the restaurants were excellent around nearby, and the beach was only 50 yards away, and very very quiet. Great stay - thanks!
