A fantastic place to spend a night, we wish we had stayed for two or three to spend more time exploring. The staff are incredibly helpful and there is so much to explore on foot, by bike/horseback, and by car. We had an amazing trip with our kids and hope to come back again soon!

Matthew, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

This was a beautiful and very peaceful property. The foliage, vegetation, hummingbirds, and butterflies were extraordinary. Rooms were comfortable and just what you'd expect at an ecolodge. Adventures were top notch. It was enjoyable hiking to the hot springs and waterfalls. We had a blast on the horseback tour and white water tubing adventures.
Stephen, 2-night trip

Amazing resort! It offers many different activities from horseback riding and hiking to waterfalls to hot springs and spa treatments. The environment is like an upscale ranch, rooms are spacious and ofter garden patio area and views of the surrounding forest, with many birds fluttering around. Nice big breakfast buffet, lots of seating and dining options.

Maria, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Amazing trip into the Costa Rican experience, super close to Liberia airport, great staff, great activities, wonderful time
Freddy, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel was close to many different activities such as hikes to waterfalls, national park, eco adventures, etc. The buffet was very tasty along with the other dinner meals we had. Rooms were a little out dated and the walls were thin, but nonetheless a nice presentation. Pillows were a little thick and the bed was decent.
lisa, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very convenient with lots of activities to do. Super safe and clean. Also close to national park and La Leona (by car). Included activities are cool. Tubing is the best everdone anywhere! (Not included but worth it) A bit lack of intimacy as neighbours are very close and you can ear them talk in their room. Food is good but a bit expensive and no other choice around.
Maxime, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

We enjoyed our stay at Hacienda Guachipellin. It was a great value for the price and had wonderful amenities. We thought the staff was a little inattentive and the restaurant was bland at best. The tours were a blast but a little disorganized. Definitely do the tubing which was super fun.
Rakhi, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A beautiful spot in Rincon de la vieja. We only really did the hot springs and some waterfall walls, but had we been there longer I know we would have done everything else too.
Jeff, 2-night trip

Great experience. We made a lot of great memories here. If we ever come back to Costa Rica we will book here again.
Garry, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Stayed here for 2 nights and did the All day Adventure. Very much like staying at a Motel, room was not very nice, so in that case it was way overpriced.
