Just want to say how amazing the staff is here! Ray-diculous is awesome, made us feel at home and had fun with us! Wilberth is an amazing chef! He is very loving and fun to flirt with "Mi grande culo", it was our joke together! Costa Rica is the most beautiful place ever and Dominical is tourist friendly and fun! I will come back in a heart beat just for the staff. I cannot thank them enough for making everyone's vacation great. Ray has great resources to do fun things. He knows Dominical well! I will never forget this place and the people. Thank you for life long memories and amazing time. Thank you for making Jenny and Rich's wedding unforgettable. Go zip lining, Manuel Antonio, Horse back riding and the Village in Dominical.

Absolutely amazing! Top to bottom our stay here at the villas couldn't have been more magical. The views of the ocean and the occasional wildlife kept us on our toes. We can't thank the chefs enough! Wilberth, Enrique, David, Diego were so kind and caring! Ray - You are a wonderful person! We are so grateful that you were able to pick up the pieces and create our dream wedding! It was so beautiful! Playa Linda is highly recommended for future visitors! It's really hard to sat goodbye but we'll meet again someday! Please give out my email address to any future couple who are looking to get married here! Costa Rica is truly "Pura Vida" The villas are 5 stars, definitely the most beautiful place we've stayed in Costa Rica! Rick, it was a pleasure meeting you! Good luck building your dream home up top! Thank you to Ana as well! Much love, Jenny and Rick Schossow!

"Over a year ago we first visited Paradise Breezes as we searched for the perfect locale for our daughter's wedding. We immediately fell in love with the villa (Buena Vista), as well as the surrounding areas. When choosing lodging, especially in luxury settings such as this, the photos can be misleading. The polish of professional photographers can cover a multitude of sins. This was not the case of Paradise Breezes. Pictures cannot capture the sweeping beauty of the view from the many balconies over looking the Pacific. The interior was spacious and impeccably furnished. The architecture was gorgeous as well sturdy, it withstood the 6.3 earthquake we experienced. In addition to the incredible building, the staff was second to none. Friendly and helpful, they were able to accommodate any request. The location was close to Domincal. These are the reasons that we decided have our daughter's wedding ceremony on the grounds at Paradise Breezes. A special mention must be made for Ray, the concierge. He was the best we have encountered in our travels. He coordinated staff for various parts of the wedding week. From chefs, manicurists & a masseuse for the Bridal party to landscapers to completely transform an empty, overgrown lot into the perfect site for a rain forest wedding, including a ranchito, an alter and pews, guardrails, and even a 20 foot palm tree with coconuts. Thank you to all of the Paradise Breezes staff for making the event perfect." /

Our entire crew of 9 had a real blast. We explored the caves, swam in the ocean, drank plenty of margaritas and bottles of wine. The highlight of the trip was emailed to everyone in the known world about Julie's bedazzled "Big V". Do, Den, Billy, Nuni, Wes, Spencer, Anthony, "Aunt Julie", Professor John and LI. /

Dear guest book, Paradise Breezes is just like a dream come true! This place deserves really its name and this house is even more fabulous than we thought. We spent an amazing time here and we are relaxed again. We have taken probably the greatest pictures that mother earth can show and everything was rounded up by the perfect service of our Ray!!! It was the most fantastic time in our life, and Ray you're simply the best!

We had a fabulous week at Paradise breezes. The horse trip was fantastic; the boat to Isla del Caño was adventurous. We saw whales and Ray and the folks at Paradise Breezes were great. We'd love to come back and recommend this place to everyone.

Pura Vida! Thank you so much to the management and staff at Brisas del Paraiso for an incredible two weeks. From the views to the scuba diving to the white water rafting to sipping wine in the hot tub, this has been one of the most amazing family vacations we have ever taken. Ray was definitely the host with the most and Wilberth and Michael are incredible chefs. We definitely recommend the tuna! Hopefully we will see you all again someday! PS - Ray, thanks for cueing the sloth! Muchisimas gracias!

What a tremendously fun time we've had here! The house is beautiful and Ray, Wilberth and the rest of the staff are warm and exceptionally professional. We couldn't have asked for a more delightful way to spend the week. We had fun and challenging days going horseback riding, zip lining and diving and then came back to the pampering of Paradise Breezes and a wonderful meal cooked by Wilberth. Who could ask for anything more? Thanks a million. Len, Marlene, Jerry, Marilyn, Bob, Becky, John and Connie.

Pura Vida! Outstanding property and staff. We had a wonderful time. The wildlife, the beaches and the friendly people were all the best we could have hoped for. Everything was perfect! The rain didn't even damp our spirits. Great house, great service! Playa Ventanas was so cool! Also loved the restaurant that you can catch your own fish and they cook it for you fresh and delicious. Beautiful waterfalls at the fish place too. Loved the monkeys at Manuel Antonio National Park. They ate our snacks, took stuff right out our packs!!! Fabulous trip!

Recommended: Car with good suspension and A/C, Thai food in Dominical (Coconut Spice) a little different, a little jewelry shopping at the vendors in Playa Dominical, Wilberth's Tuna Wasabi and papaya chicken and do not skip the sweet potatoes and walk up whole drive way for Iguana spotting. Thanks to Paradise Breezes - great memories

Paradise Breezes "Wow" What an absolutely spectacular place. Beautiful stunning views, many toucans and even some pizotes. What a beautiful place you have here Rick. We love Costa Rica and all it has to offer. Great beaches, restaurants, mountains and more. The zip lining at Baru is a very exciting adventure, and totally unforgettable. We don't want to go home, and will miss the sunny warm weather by the pool & hot tub. Hopefully the roads will be paved next time, and there will be a next time!

Wow! What a great place! We had a fantastic time! Ray took care of everything for us including helping us host a party. The chef Wilberth was amazing. We enjoyed every bite and every drink. Now it's time to move on, but will be back for sure! Thanks for everything. P.S. We don't recommend running up and down the hill unless you're a "loco".

We planned a family reunion aboard a windjammer, however 2 days prior to sailing the trip was cancelled - STRANDED! Rick replied ot our S.O.S. and we landed in Paradise (Breezes that is). Our family was able to enjoy each other and all the wonderful things around us. The tucans, monkeys and humming birds were a few of our greatest pleasures as well, as the view, sunsets and hot tub after a day of surfing or horseback riding!
Buena Vista became our home for one week thanks to Cesar and all the staff who works so hard and are so friendly and helpful. As for Rick... You are the MAN!
Thank you and God bless you (The kids said that!)
Our ship never sailed. Last minute plans we hailed. Thanks to Rick for returning our call, we had the most memorable week of all!

We arrived in a driving rainstorm to San José. Our flight was cancelled to Quepos so we took a taxi over the mountain. After a 4 hour journey, we picked up our car in Quepos and made the adventurous trek to Paradise Breezes. It was wonderful to arrive at this beautiful Oasis! Rick had the kitchen fully stocked! We awoke the next morning to a beautiful sunrise and beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. We spent sometime in Dominical everyday and got to know the local scene. We took a zip line tour of the rain forest and saw many beautiful animals. Friends in Dominical took us to a beach just south of Dominical where the waves have beat a beautiful and magical cave out of the mountain. We also hiked to a gorgeous waterfall and took mudbaths! We have enjoyed bautiful sunsets and all of the wonderful amenities of this secluded paradise in the forest. Thanks for enhancing this fantastic experience to Costa Rica. We appreciate Cesar and Rick for being awesome hosts. See you next time!

There is only one problem with Casa Buena Vista. The pictures in the website do not reflect just how beautiful this house is and how spectacular a view the house has of the ocean. This is a firve star accomodation. I would, without any hesitation recommend staying here to anyone. Beyond that, the staff is very attentive, friendly and helpful. You will not be disappointed. I look forward to a return visit
