Lamentable mais il n’y pas de concurrence

Le personnel avenant

Le reste est un concept hacienda bas de gamme les salles de bains sont limites acceptables Le système local de gros propriétaires créant des péages sur les routes pour les hôtels concurrents y compris les accès aux sites de type parc nationaux est totalement intolérable et limite mafieux.

Traumhaftes, ruhiges Ambiente

Es war ein traumhaftes Ambiente Mitten im Nirgendwo. Das Personal war extrem freundlich. Das Essen super (und grosse Portionen). Das Frühstück war perfekt und der Pool erfrischend. Die Betten bequem und sogar heisses Wasser zum Duschen. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen.

Günstige Bungalows mit toller Aussicht, Wasserfall & heißen Quellen

Die Anlage ist wunderschön und besonders in den Bungalows ist es toll mit Blick auf den See aufzuwachen. Die Zimmer sind groß und sauber. Das Personal ist super freundlich und höflich. Vor allem Adrian von der Rezeption ist total hilfsbereit, nett und spricht gutes Englisch! Ein Highlight ist zudem der private Wanderweg mit Wasserfall & heißer Quelle zum Baden! In der Gegend muss sonst für jeden kleinen Wasserfall gezahlt werden; für heiße Quellen sowieso. Bei der Rincon de la Vieja Lodge ist dies Inklusive! Die Wanderung sind hin und zurück insgesamt ca. 8km. Um zu der heißen Quellen zu kommen muss man den Schildern Richtung Azufales folgen.

Was für uns in Ordnung war, da wir darauf eingestellt waren, aber was andere negativ finden könnten: - WLAN nur im Restaurant & Pool Bereich - keine Shuttle oder Uber Möglichkeit und Fahrräder sind relativ teuer (aber verhandelbar) - wenige Gerichte auf der Speisekarte, aber es ist selbst als Vegetarier was zu finden - da die Hütten aus Holz sind hört man den Wind, Tiere und was drum herum passiert und natürlich sind auch mal Insekten oder Spinnen hier und da

Rustic, quiet, inviting, charming, and almost comfortable enough to stay more than two nights.

Really special remote feel, like you're somewhere special. Very close to Rio Negro hot springs experience, and only 5 mins back to the big nearby resort with all the other activities. This place is much quieter, and seems to attract experienced travelers without kids. I loved the setting with the pond and horses. Had dinner there two nights, and the food was excellent and very affordable.

There is not one comfortable chair on property. All hard wood "torture" chairs. I could have stayed and read by the pond for three days if they just put Adirondack chairs on the cabin porch. I'm sure their local hand painted furniture is more authentic, but you can't sit for more than 20 mins. I love the rustic look, but a lot of the wood decking is rotting and falling apart, to the point of almost dangerous. Careful where you walk. I stayed in a cabin, which is really cute, but missing some window panes and the wood siding allows for lots (I mean lots) of wind to blow through the cabin all night. It was VERY windy there every night, and it just howls through the cabin all night. No sleep at all. I would return and stay in a motel room instead of the cabins.

Superb

We loved the spacious log cabin feel to our bungalow. Although the hotel room was very basic (no fridge, safe or coffee machine) it was very clean and comfortable. The setting is lovely overlooking a small lagoon and fields with horses. Very short drive to the Rincon de Vieja entrance and minutes away from Rio Negro hot springs.

Wifi available in restaurant area but not in bungalow. Some written info on highlights of the area and the trail on hotel property would have been helpful. For example, you cannot pay by credit card at the Rio Negro hot springs so have to drive to the Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin.

Great location next to Rincon de la Vieja Pailas Section. My stay was brief but the staff was great and accommodated my late arrival!

Two comments for future travelers... 1) Be careful with late arrivals. I barely made it in because coming from Liberia, I needed to pass through the property of Hotel Hacienda, and I got there just as they were shutting down their gates around 6:30 or 7 PM. If I had been 10 minutes later, I would have needed to find another way to the hotel! 2) The property is located on a beautiful mountain slope, where there are often strong katabatic winds throughout the night. If you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs!

great place to stay before the park

very nice spot and garden, with well arranged bungalows like a small village around a small lake, very enjoyable

the rooms are ver simple and could be a bit more homey, but that’s still fine. the restaurant could have a bit more atmosphere, it’s a bit dark.

Feel at one with nature.

Stayed here without a car, it bck onto the RDLV national park and you can walk literally out of the gate and into the park, to waterfalls, hot springs etc. SO whilst location wise it is quite remote (particularly if no car... can't really walk to anywhere for food etc), it was great for what we wanted. Did 2 long (8 and 11 mile) walks from the lodge. The grounds are decent, very nice chilled atmosphere and very pretty sunsets to watch from your veranda. The pool is small but very inviting and looked nice and clean. Plenty of spots to chill with a cold beer around the grounds. There is a restaurant on site that does breakfast and dinner (maybe lunch? wasn't there during the day). The restaurant is OK, food is OK, don't expect great things. Very helpful and friendly staff, but felt a bit like it's the first time they have ever run a restaurant. Ran out of rum on our first night!!!!!!!! Cabins are BASIC but have a decent warm shower, a cupboard and the bed is fine. Ours had a double and 2 singles (we are just a couple) so actually had loads of space for us. Walls are timber and thin, earplugs useful just because of the frogs/crickets/monkeys/birds making a noise. No aircon in ours, but we had a fan that made a very annoying ticking noise. Nice veranda for chilling on. BRING GOOD INSECT REPELLANT - you are basically in the jungle.

As above, but basic rooms and restaurant food just OK.

amazing, secluded location for nature lovers

we loved our stay here and it was one the highlights of our 2 month Costa Rican adventure. it was better than we expected, with comfortable, spacious lodging (they upgraded our room for free) delicious food, and amazing hiking trails that lead to a private hot spring. the staff were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating.

it’s a bit out of the way so you would need a car or taxi to get around (or rent a bicycle there). the Wi-Fi also doesn’t really extend outside of the dining lodge, but that forced us to disconnect and ended up being a positive.

This was a wonderfully calm and tranquil place to stay.

This was a wonderfully calm and tranquil place to stay. I loved that it was quiet and off the beaten track. The breakfast was delicious and it was very handy to have a restaurant on site for basic meals at other times during the day. It was very hot when I stayed so the pool was wonderfully welcome for cooling off. Also very happy to have hot water available in the bathroom which was an unexpected bonus.

Beautiful hotel, amazing view on the lake and nice trail on property to a waterfall and hotsprings

The breakfast buffet was clean, but I didn't know that I could order eggs and toasts.

The wifi had a small range. I had to sit close to the reception in order to get a good signal.

Very serene, beautiful & quiet location.

The grounds of the accommodation are amazing, so many lovely areas to relax (by ponds, horses, swimming pool, hammock etc) It is about 3km to Rincon de la veija national park and Guachipelin adventure centre. The cabins are basic but spacious and light. I would definitely stay again and for longer next time!

The property is in an area that is hard to travel about from, if you have a car it’s easy. I was travelling solo with no car but I managed to get around by walking, lifts and help from reception. The cabins could do with a bit of a revamp in some peoples view but I like the rustic feel, if you’re looking for glam luxury this isn’t it, but if you’re looking for the most serene, peaceful accommodation where you feel your the only one there, this is it!

Wonderful relaxing time in a beautiful place!

This place is gorgeous! There whole property is a beautiful garden and the hiking trails were amazing. The manager Paulo was very helpful, he gave us a great explanation of the area when we got there and helped us arrange for our taxi to enter through the gate early in the morning to take us to the airport. The breakfast was great, very delicious and filling, the dinner was good and reasonably priced.

Nothing!

Ranch setting near walks.

Location is good for walks and the gardens are nice. Low cost and nice staff.

Could improve the food a bit.
