The service was very personal and they staff were so sweet! They made us feel very welcome and the excursions were our favorite part

There were a couple bugs in our room but they can’t control that! Just bring bug spray

This place was amazing! Super quiet and close to the entrace of the nacional park (25min). Amazing view from the balcony to the forest and the best part was the confy hammock outside :) Super clean and great shower with hot water. We also hal delicious meals at their restaurant.

Everything was perfect!

We are looking forward to returning to Rinconcito Lodge! The whole place is comfortable, we liked our junior mountain suite very much, the staff friendly and helpful, food is very good with an easy-going schedule so we only ate two meals a day, perfect for us. The nesting colony of montezuma oropendola birds at the entrance is amazing! Westayed 4 nights And I’m glad we did. This allowed us to rest one day, then took the combo tour on our second day - Horseback ride into the Santa Maria part of the park, wonderful fun and private uncrowded zip line tour with our guides Jose and Ronald, and continued further into the park on horse guided by Terencio who took us deeper into the park eventually on foot to the warm springs river and waited very patiently while we had lunch there and enjoyed the warm waters. he even helped us with the mud. our third day we drove ourselves into the Pailas sector of the park and did our own hiking tour. Rinconcito is a peaceful place with no pressure. as far as we can tell the rooms are all very nice with a range of qualities from smaller rooms close together to the more separate mountain suites that we stayed in. oh a great trail on the property to a waterfall we swam under too.

We don’t have anything to complain about with the place. No problems. Visitors from North America should understand this is not an American style resort. Instead it is a Tico local style lodge located close to the park in the beautiful forest on the borders of the volcano area. It’s run by warm local people.

The bed was comfortable and they had air conditioning

There wasn't actually a view (which I specifically upgraded to get.) It was blocked by trees. No wifi in your rooms. Food wasn't very good but was very expensive.

Nice Garden with many birds. Room was nice and bad was comfy.

After a very long day of driving and hiking in the park — all I wanted to do was take a nice hot shower. I got into it and turned the hot water in to find it was cold. I began to soap up assuming it would heat up— it never did. I couldn’t leave the shower now as I full of soap! I went to the receptionist and told her what happened. Turns out the breaker was off do they turned it on and so my partner was able to have a hot shower. I complained about this bc for close to $100 a night— the minimum is having a hot shower. The manager did not care one bit. They offered me nothing to compensate: not a free breakfast, dinner, a partial discount — nothing. They simply don’t give a damn about their clients. That there were bugs on the sheets as well. That night I had a terrible meal at dinner of beef steak which was half gristle and fat — totally inedible. Would not recommend for the high price!

location! aghhh

Rinconcito Lodge is located at the Rincon de la Vieja National Park more to the Santa Maria entrance the the La Parieta. Just be aware of it, you need to drive ca. 30 min to get there. The lodge itself is situated in a nice area, there are beautiful walking paths with great views to the volcanos that belong to the premises. The room was basic but very spacious and clean, each room has a nice hammock outside. Breakfast and dinner were simple but good. All in all this is a good place to stay for one or two nights.

Nothing to complain about. Just be aware that you need a car to get around.

Good location to explore the area. Clean rooms, well furnished. Hot water!! Restaurant food overall was good, choose the meal option to have soup, main course and natural juice drink included for $11. Appeared to cater well for the big groups that arrived. Nice swimming pool and grounds. Nice to have a couple of drink options in the mini bar, with prices similar to the restaurant. Take plenty of insect repellant, you are in a rain forest. It’s incredibly windy so ear plugs will help you sleep. Staff in the restaurant were generally good.

Lots of staff seem new, struggled to answer basic questions and provide information. We asked whether the juice with dinner could be switched for a local beer (same price), and were told yes. But were later charged for it. No activities offered, just given a map to take ourselves to the national park. Yet lots of reviews mention tours, zip lining etc Breakfast could have been better for the price. No cereals, no preserves for the toast, limited fresh fruit (even seasonal). Lodge wasn’t cheap for Costa Rica, when you take into account what you got. But there are limited places to stay in the area and this was better value than most. We paid $113 incl tax for “superior” room (2 double beds). Mosquito screen in our room had big gap around the edge. Plus the door onto the terrace didn’t lock. Worrying with easy access from neighbouring terraces. We stayed for 2 nights and anticipated more bottled water to be supplied on the second day, but it wasn’t. Menu didn’t have lots of choice, but plenty for 2 or 3 nights. No coffee maker or kettle in the room. Not great sound proofing in the rooms, though this was mostly drowned out by the wind.
