Spacious & clean accommodations, great hosts, excellent transportation to and from airport, beautiful view, great common area on the beach. I don’t think I’ve ever had a more relaxing vacation, and I met some really wonderful people. I’d move in if I could and hope to return. Stop to get groceries on the way, bring water shoes and enjoy!

Staying at Rita and Sonny’s was exactly what we were looking for!! We loved our accommodations and the location. It was beautiful and quiet. We loved walking up and down the beach everyday. There was nice snorkeling right down the beach and beautiful birds and wildlife all around. We would totally stay there again and bring some friends next time!!

We had a great stay. Sonny and Rita were great and helped us with any requests we had. The location was relaxing and beautiful. We are already planning our next trip!

Rita and Sonny are great hosts. Our cabina was perfect. We will return.

Sonny and Rita took very good care of us. The view is fantastic and the rooms are nice. We want to come back!

Once you leave Paraiso the roads are dirt. The route is not marked but Sonny's directions are excellent. Time your travel so that you arrive during daylight hours - we didn't, and found the experience anxiety-inducing. The property is exactly as depicted in the photos. Six units in a concrete structure, each supplied with the basics but little else. This is not a resort, more of a no-frills beachcomber existence. If this is what you're looking for, Sonny and Rita's is a great spot to enjoy. We stayed for two weeks and were quite content the entire time. There are two sodas (informal family operated restaurants} adjacent, and several more commercial establishments within a 10 minute drive. Also within 10 minutes are three small grocery stores for provisioning. The beach is rocky but beautiful. Relax and soak up the sun!

If you want to enjoy the real Costa Rica, I highly recommend Rita & Sonny’s cabinas. First, they are amazing hosts, friendly, informative and just cool. This place is wonderful, laid back, not touristy at all. Beach in the front and jungle in the back, we saw birds, iguana, lemur, we bashed open coconuts and made pina coladas with the fresh milk. You can stroll the beach north with lots of sand or head south and explore the volcanic rock reefs. There is food across the road and 100 meters up the sand, or you can drive or get a ride to some great food less than two miles away. We shared evenings around the fire pit with other guests and made new friends. The sunsets are incredible. This is no resort, it is a comfortable, simple place with kitchen facilities where you can relax. Buy some groceries on the way in and enjoy the real pura vida life.

Sonny and Rita are the kindest and most most welcoming hosts you could ask for. They went above and beyond to make me feel at home and included over the holidays. The cabina was immaculate and it was most appreciated that the fridge was stocked with water and cervaza after travelling all day. The other guests were friendly and engaging and Sonny recommended some excellent ways to spend my time and even got me in touch with someone to take me to the airport from here. I would love to come back one day!

We were roaming the countryside looking for Paraiso (Waze) where we were warmly welcomed. The entire month passes to fast. We were included in so much, Sonny and Rita are very good hosts. They know so many people so we were welcomed by friends and neighbors. It is truly Costa Rican in amenities, but that’s what we came to Costa Rica for. I highly recommend it for anyone with a sense of curiosity. If you want all the amenities of home you’ll be disappointed. I you go I guarantee you will go away enriched emotionally, spiritually with a renewed sense of love and tolerance for different customs, lifestyles, and people. What are you waiting for?

Beautiful place to stay, right on the beach! You fall asleep and wake up listening to the ocean! AMAZING!
