We absolutely loved our stay here and wish we had added at least one more night. The activities available on the property are wonderful and it is the best breakfast we had while in Costa Rica.

8/10 Very good

The property is well kept, clean, and comfortable. The staff was excellent. The waterfals and hot springs were very enjoyable. My only complaint is that the mattresses are very hard, otherwise, we had a very nice stay and would highly suggest it.

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel Guachipelin is an incredible place. The hotel grounds are absolutely beautiful and so well taken care of. The views from the hotel were amazing. We enjoyed hiking the grounds to see the waterfall that is on the property. We also enjoyed our guided hike of Las Pailas which we booked through the hotel. The staff was so professional, organized, and kind. We wished we had spent more time here.

the waterfalls, volcano, ponds and trails really do make this stay so beautiful and unforgettable! So much to see and do during the day! The staff is absolutely amazing and super accommodating!
Reagan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The trails are real singletrack mountain biking trails. We went out for 3 hours and barely covered a quarter of the terrain. The waterfalls on the grounds are amazing. The variety of birds was amazing! It's best to have a car here because the best waterfall and the hot springs are a drive away. And the breakfast buffet was phenomenal: omelets made to order, pastries, fresh orange juice, fesh fruit, yogurt, granola, and hot food like fried plantains, stewed chicken, roasted yams etc. And everything is gluten-free - celiac heaven :-)
