See the New Costa Rican Hotel for ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ and Find Out Another Cast Member!

Almost “Paradise”!
Bachelor Nation fans have been anxiously awaiting the highly anticipated Season 10 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
The show is heading to Costa Rica for the first time and will be premiering on Monday, July 7, at 8 p.m. on ABC and streaming later on Hulu.
Jesse Palmer will be returning as our beloved host and Wells Adams is being joined by Hannah Brown as a fellow bartender.
Now, Entertainment Weekly shared photos of the gorgeous hotel where our beloved show will be taking place this year.
“BIP’s” new home is the Azura Beach Resort in Costa Rica and it’s completely different from “BIP” in Mexico.
On Season 10, cast members will each have their own room fully equipped with air conditioning and their very own private pool.

New showrunner Scott Teti spoke to the outlet about the location, saying, “The hotel is more upscale and has a sexy chicness to it that feels more elevated than the traditional kind of Paradise world that we’ve been in.”
He went on, saying, “The cast can literally open the doors to their rooms and swim out into the pool under bridges, and then up to a beautiful bar that is touching the beach. It has amazing views. The beach itself is private and unique. There’s a beautiful island right off it with a bunch of fishing boats that surround it every day, with a quaint little town right next door, but not a ton of foot traffic. It feels remote and upscale and sexy at the same time.”
Scott also teased a special “VIP Suite” that will be available to cast members on special occasions when they want some private time with their love interest.
He said, “The VIP suite is a two-story private getaway with an amazing setup that exudes Paradise. It’s got a private pool on the top floor and a jacuzzi on the second floor with a full-on kitchen. It’s got huge balconies and elite views.”

And Scott shared that it’s not just the hotel that’s getting a new look.
“Everything about the style of the show, we’re trying to elevate,” he shared. “From new cameras and lenses to frame rates to the way it's shot — we’re trying to implement an upgraded, sexy style across the board.”
Additionally, EW revealed another confirmed cast member in “Paradise” — Kat Izzo from Season 27 of “The Bachelor.”
Kat joins Zoe McGrady, Hakeem Moulton, Jonathon Johnson, Leslie Fhima, and Gary Levingston as confirmed cast.
We can’t wait! Counting down the days until July 7. See you on the beach!
