If you lived in "paradise" would you know you were living in someplace special?

If you lived in “paradise” swaying palm trees, warm clear water, amazing sunsets and white sandy beaches etc, would you feel or know you were in “paradise” as seen by many? If you live I so-called paradise everyday would you see it as special? If you moved to this paradise how long would it take after you arrived for the luster to fade and it becomes just the beach, your usual back yard etc? Do people who live in an island “paradise” would their paradise be a bustling metropolis?
