Facilities, there is a lot of things to do. Amazing hot springs.
Only the breakfast is included. And the restaurant options are quite pricey.

Les activités (les encadrants sont incroyables) ne pas rater le tubing et le canope tour!
Le lit trop dur, La chambre (trop vieillotte, salle de bain 😥) le prix et la promenade à cheval aucun intérêt pour des cavaliers confirmés (dommage car l’espace de jeu est grand!!)

We booked a family room here for one night here for our family of five with the intent to only visit the Ricon de la Vieja national park before heading to the coast. The family room (107) was very basic and a bit dated but it was clean, the beds comfortable and located near the reception; so it fit the bill nicely. We selected this resort for its proximity to the national park and were pleasantly surprised by the wide array of ‘free’ activités (included in the room fare) and additional pay-as-you-go activities. The waterfall trails and volcanic hot springs with ‘mud masks’ were very much appreciated by our clan. We were pleased to have arrived mid-afternoon and stayed through noon on checkout day to make the most of the activités. Opendola waterfall and swimming hole is a great stop. The staff were very friendly and efficient in checking us in, explaining the resort amenities and storing our luggage after checkout while we visited the national park.
The rooms were very basic and dated.

The property is beautiful and lots of things to do on the property. We only checked out 2 of them because the others requires a long hike and our kids don’t like to hike too long. Food was delicious
The road heading to the property was partially unpaved and bumpy. The WiFi went out for a few hours but I expect that is normal in Costa Rica

This was our first stop after arriving at Liberia - really easy to get to and fabulous warm welcome to Costa Rica. Only here one night but it was perfect for what we needed. The room was clean and comfortable, the site was great to wander round and breakfast buffet was decent.
We arrived in time to visit the hot springs before dinner in the restaurant and next morning walked round the national park to see the volcanic mud pots and plenty of wild life. Had a quick dip in one of the waterfalls (fabulous!), grabbed some nachos and snacks by the pool and set off on the next leg of our trip.

Great location and pool area with a nice cafe. Good restaurants and tours. Handy shuttle bus to the national park, waterfalls and the hot springs belonging to the hotel.
The WiFi was weak in our room.
3.5 / 5.0
how well maintained it was. everyone works very hard to keep everything clean, watered, flowering. staff were friendly and helpful. room was big. we loved the trails and walking to small waterfalls.
the shuttle taking us to the mud baths and hot springs drove us pretty far and made several stops to drop off stuff (no other customers were picked up and he spoke no English so we didn’t know what was happening). we arrived to our destination about 40 minutes later. the food at dinner was not good. we spent a lot of money and didn’t like it but you are very secluded in this spot if you don’t rent a car.

Pleasant reception; room (Suite 62) was ready, sizeable with a large separate bathroom with bath and shower. nice amenities.
Good main restaurant with buffet choices; specialty restaurant also good for dinner.
Great to be able to hike on the property to visit waterfalls etc. Also great hike in nearby Rincon de la Vieja National Park.
We went river tubing offsite arranged by their activity team - excellent! Thank you Santos and team!
Hot springs visit in the hotel van was an experience well worth doing!
Pleasant pool near reception with a little cafe attached.
Approach road could do with repairing potholes.

Staying here for us was all about access to the waterfalls and swimming spots, which are wonderful. So many to choose from and makes a stay here very worthwhile.
The room was also really quiet at night which was a great change!
The beds are hard and the food is terrible. Breakfast was ok but the rest of the food and coffee and smoothies at the cafe were really bad. Didn’t even drink the smoothie as tasted Ike toothpaste!
4.5 / 5.0
Great location and lots to do for couples and families. Breakfast was all homemade with handmade tortillas and fresh eggs and meat. We enjoyed the pool area and gazebos too.
Would have liked a dresser for my clothes.

The hotel and grounds are very clean and well maintained. The room was huge and clean, with two balconies, hammock chair and patio furniture, and a nice view of the mountains and forest. Beds were comfortable, safe was a decent size. The TV did not work for a brief spell and one morning there was no water, but that was fixed within 30 minutes of reporting it. The fancier of the two restaurants was overrated. Grounds, trails and pool were all lovely.
5.0 / 5.0
Amazing experience in nature! Beautiful hot springs also! Hacienda was lovely and showers and hammock were amazing.
Hacienda was amazing, and the front desk staff were friendly and helpful, but the restaurant experience was so-so. Food was ok, and service was fine for dinner, but our tomahawk steak was likely boiled/broiled before it was put on the grill and served to us (we could not eat it, it was that gross and we had previously had a tomahawk steak in Carillo that was amazing). In hindsight, should have listened to our server, who seemed to be dissuading us from ordering it.
