Great place to visit for a weekend. Well maintained and the on-site restaurants had great variety. The waterfalls/ hot springs and all of the adventure tours were the star of the show.

6/10 Good

This property was good for location and access to national park nearby. Food was delicious, pool area was relaxing and enjoyable. Felt more commercialized. Room was clean. Felt dated, there was a big gap under door so we laid a towel there to limit bugs/lizards, very few outlets in room, mostly cold showers. Tubing experience was great. Would suggest bringing lots of snacks if traveling with kids. Would not stay again.

6/10 Good

This would be a great stop for a luxury stay over a few days but wasn't worth the cost or distance for a single night stay. The sites of interest are spread out over quite a distance and it's not practical to fit in a visit to more than one of them between check-in and Costa Rica's early sundown. The rooms themselves are nice but not special, the cost/value proposition is really about what sites/activities are included and how easy they make it to book tours on the Hacienda grounds. The food was great but a meal of typical "casados" (the most economical option) ran our family of four $100 CAD. The grounds are beautiful and I would recommend the hacienda to those looking for an all-inclusive, but not a short stay.
