The property was amazing having all of the amenities on campus. There was an oversight on the VIP access so we didn’t have the full experience.

This place was amazing!! We did all of the waterfall hikes, and they were a highlight of the trip. This was our favorite lodging of the 3 places we stayed during our 11 days in Costa Rica. The trails are well maintained and we’re all doable for our 5 year old daughter. The hot springs are also beautiful and so relaxing. The Canopy bar was our favorite restaurant. All of the staff members were very kind and helpful. We want to go back soon! If you want to visit Rincon De La Vieja, you must stay here!

If you want a nice quiet relaxing vacation this is it. The place is a little rustic but you barely spend any time in your room. The hiking trails are amazing. The hot springs and water falls are to die for. Remember you will be staying in the mountains so bugs and wild life are everywhere. I would definitely make a stay here again!!!! Breakfast which is included was amazing everyday.

We loved the fact that we had access to the whole waterfalls hikes and hot springs.
We loved the breakfast.
Dinner was ok didn’t like the fact that you had to reserve.
We ate at the bar a couple of times, but choices were limited.
We didn’t want to venture to town at night.
I loved the birds and nature all around us.
We would have preferred more privacy between our cabins.
We couldn’t really sit out in the front or the back without seeing our neighbors come and go.
But those were minor details, we really enjoyed this beautiful heaven on earth.
