“We had a WONDERFUL time at La Paloma, and in fact, we all agreed it was the best part of our trip.” Susan Spivak

"Our room seemed like something out of a dream. We loved sleeping to the sound of the surf and my son adored the little gekkos that came out in the evening to catch the bugs on his window. It was amazing to wake up one morning to find monkeys in the trees! We spent another morning on our deck watching a red-lored parrot eating his breakfast. We had such incredible experiences at La Paloma. The lodge is truly a jewel and we look forward to the day when we come again. Thank you, thank you!" -Bill Gay, Lori Inano and Christopher Gay

"Our stay with you was certainly the highpoint of our 10 day Costa Rican experience. To be met with fresh fruit, bread, jams, juice and clean water laid out with linen napkins seemed like total opulence in the middle of the jungle. My kids said, "Mom, this is awesome." We enjoyed your kayaks and local hiking and especially your food and service. An evening in your beautiful pool was a treat we all looked forward to. My older daughter and I both availed ourselves of your exceptional masseuse. That massage out on the deck as the sun set was the BEST I have ever had. All in all this was an unforgettable lifetime experience for our family. "- The Croskreys- Chris, Kari and Jerry & Lindy and Jaime Sarte
