Buena Vista del Rincón Eco Adventure Park Hotel & Spa

Room was high-quality, spotless, The food was amazing especially the buffet, The four-wheel ride to the Hot Springs was super fun because we got to see monkeys and the Hot Springs were awesome especially the steam room and hot pool. Fun to see herds of horses go by being driven by the real Cowboys, awesome to see toucans, coatis, and lots of other wildlife. Also love the authentic pottery making demonstration. it was a wonderful adventure we will never forget

Bon endroit où résider pour deux jours à la fin du voyage pour profiter des bains thermaux et de dé déposer.

This Lodge was a wonderful experience, with lots of great activities to do every day. My only complaint was that everything closed very early and the road going into the resort desperately needs to be paved!

Loved the day pass option for all the activities.

The team at the property were ALL excellent - thank you. The property is accessed via an unmade road which was hard work for our small hire car - but because it was a hire car it made it through. The facilities are good. I tried the canopy walk, river slide, zip line and hot springs, all of which were very good. The evening meals we had were of a high standard, especially considering that all the food has to be transported a long way. The breakfast was good ( but didn’t live up to the standard of the evening meals). We were in a hacienda and the walls are very thin. We had a great two days and would highly recommend the facility.

What we like most about this property is it has many services and natural settings nearby , such as horse riding , spas, volcano mud bath, hotspring pools, hiking trails , waterfalls . But some foods are not as expected , such as chicken meat is tough and chips are a bit hard . Overall, it is a very good hotel to recommend

Buena Vista del Rincón Eco Adventure Park, Hotel & Spa was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, everyone was so warm and welcoming. We enjoyed soaking in the relaxing hot springs, enjoying a beautiful horseback ride through the property, and learning so much during the cultural tour. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Our room was spacious, modern, and comfortable, definitely a pleasant surprise in the middle of such lush nature. My only observation: while they provide you with a room key, the floor-to-ceiling window and sliding door didn’t seem too interested in locking. So technically, the key is more of a decorative souvenir! Aside from that little quirk, I absolutely loved my stay and would come back. It’s a perfect mix of adventure, culture, and relaxation, highly recommended for anyone visiting Costa Rica!

The area around the hotel is amazing, the room was clean, and staff were helpful. We had so much fun doing the activities like hiking, horseback riding, and hot springs. The included breakfast is awesome and the outdoor restaurant where you can watch the sun set was great! The only downside was the pool. It clearly needed more filtration and maybe a check on chemical levels. There was algae growing in it and lots of bird poop in it. I know it is outdoors, but so are other pools we’ve been too, and they have not had this issue.

The meals were fantastic. The rooms were spacious and clean. The sauna and hot tubs were awesome! Loved the tree top bridges! Carlos made our trip to Rincon awesome. He had fantastic suggestions and made us feel very welcome everyday!

The pool was much smaller than it appears on the website. When we arrived the hot tub was drained and the pool bar closed, so not a great first impression. However, the Mirador restaurant has an amazing view and a delicious menu. We enjoyed the hot springs although it was a bumpy 20 min tractor ride away. Slide was fun for my son. Breakfast was excellent.

The road to the property included onger bumpy rocky roads than other hotels in the area. The hot springs included are 3km away from the reception area. You need to ride a tractor on the rocky dusty road for half hour to get there and there are limited schedules. The taxi transportation is double of what Uber would charge; you cannot get any regular taxi from the hotel since it is very remote. The restaurants are expensive but not good food. The linens got big MOLD spots and are very rough. The lake view room is more like a pond view room. Most importantly, there is nothing else you can do in the area besides their overcharged activities. If you come between Jan and March, expect no sleep at night because of the wind blowing storm like noises.

From the location to the comfort and cleanliness, everything was top notch

This place was so disgusting bugs in the bed not clean front desk kept trying to charge us for every little thing. Contacted Expedia canceled our reservation and went to another hotel. Upon arrival the locals around there live in a lot of poverty and have underage workers.

We had a nice stay. Very friendly staff. Pool chairs were really dirty and pool was very shallow everywhere. Property buildings etc need update.

Buena Vista del Rincon is an excellent place to experience various Costa Rica experiences in single place. It is located in the gorgeous place with great scenery around, and a lot of wildlife - we've seen various beautiful birds, a few kinds of monkeys, agouti, coati, iguanas, etc. The place offer's day pass which includes all the activities for a single price - I'd strongly suggest using it. We stayed just 2 nights, but managed to squeeze in all the activities. It would be easier if we stayed 3 nights though. The whole place is very well managed and runs as an efficient machine - everything goes on time, and crew makes sure to keep all the requests met. The food in breakfast and lunch buffet is Ok (not the gourmet options, but sufficiently alright). The place is clean and well maintained.

Beautiful place located in the middle of beautiful nature, clean, comfortable rooms and the hot springs are a wonderful place.

Beautiful green spaces and eco-education content. Strong wifi in an area that is pretty much without it. Not fancy by any means, but solid food and drink with loads of trails yo explore, and very close to the Rincon de la Vieja park and volcano. Would have tried the pool but it was full of toads when we visited in the evening!

This is like staying at a cabin over summer break when you were a kid. All you need and clean just not like a hotel or resort room. I did not mind but my husband would have liked more comforts. I loved the whole resort, and experience would definitely come back. Food was amazing and the most beautiful sunset I think I have ever seen. People were friendly and helpful, activities were all so much fun. It was off the beaten path. Not super close to anything. Plan on staying here for activities.

It was nice having eco-adventure activities right at the hotel (zip lining, horseback riding, etc.). The hot springs were also nice and relaxing (not fantastic to have to get pulled behind a tractor on the roughest road ever to get to the hot springs from the hotel but it was okay). The rooms were clean but no A/C. The prices at the restaurants were reasonable.

The resort was absolutely amazing. Perfect in every way. I just wish they had listed better that most the rooms do not have A/C.

I’d like to be as transparent as possible in hopes to help someone else. If you have aa disability, don’t book here, if you have a problem walking far distances, it’s not for you. No AC in the rooms, very low water pressure. The rooms were hot and stuffy, with little circulation. Breakfast was included but very limited. They say it’s over at 830 and at 805 they are cleaning up. The staff at bfast serving wasn’t very friendly either. This property is very far from anything so keep that in mind when booking because transportation is more because of the distance away. Basically book here if you don’t plan to leave. Dining is over at 8pm with no other options so imagine not being able to eat. Hot water is iffy, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Kimberly in the front was pleasant to speak to. I recommend this hotel 55 maybe. No bueno. Also, when I asked a question abt room assignment the answer was you booked on Expedia.

I stayed for a couple of nights at the beginning of my trip. The resort is nice, and the surroundings are beautiful. The staff is friendly and everyone always has a smile on their face. Special thanks to Daniel who guided my horseback trip to the waterfalls. Great experience! If you are looking for a quiet retreat, make sure you don't get a room by the pool. It was really loud until evening, which made it hard to relax and enjoy a nap after travelling for a long time. I would also recommend to confirm your taxi an hour before departure, as mine was never ordered and I missed the bus I was hoping to catch at a certain time. It happens. Not a big deal. Just good to know. All in all a nice stay!

La chambre est grande, les lits confortables , très bon petit déjeuner, beau grand site ecterieur, bonnes piscines thermales, personnel aimable.

No towel rack or toilet paper holder in bathroom.

I absolutely loved the place until we realized there wasn’t AC in the cabins.

Lovely property with great activities. Just know there is no AC so you have to sleep with the windows open. The Jaguar restaurant was delicious.

Great staff that are quite helpful. Especially Malcom went above and beyond by paying attentioj to details.

The hanging bridges were wonderful and if you take a guided tour, ask for Ruth!

Staff were so lovely and welcoming. The activities at the resort were good, we booked a package from their website as we only wanted to do some of the activities and the package they offer at the resort is all of them for $120. They allowed us to split up our activities over two days so we did most of them one day and the hanging bridges before we checked out the next. There aren’t many options for food around the resort and I feel more than 2 nights unless you are driving to do an activity elsewhere would have been too much. But for 2 nights it was perfect. Great way to start our Costa Rican vacation.

Possibly worst check in ever. Questions were answered with “check our website.”

Amazing sunset views and food. Awesome excursion options and prices!!! Jose David was an amazing tour guide!!!

El servicio en Recepción es muy poco profesional, la comida le falta mucho.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel. Everything was awesome. The grounds were beautiful, the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. We did the Eco Adventure tour, 12 incredible things in one day, it was exhausting, but we loved every minute of it.

The meals were fantastic. The rooms were spacious and clean. The sauna and hot tubs were awesome! Loved the tree top bridges! Carlos made our trip to Rincon awesome. He had fantastic suggestions and made us feel very welcome everyday!

They never answered the phone once. We’ve been calls for days

The location is really breathtaking. It is low season so only one restaurant was open for meals (but be sure to check out the views at susnset). The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. Our kids loved the waterslide (Tsunami speed). The views of the Volcano were wow! And the thermal springs in the afternoon (accompanied by a number of monkies above were just what the docter ordered).

You need to ride a tractor on the rocky dusty road for half hour to get there and there are limited schedules.

Exceptional location with a commanding view of the Costa Rican West Coast and Pacific Ocean. Stunning sunsets from the restaurant and bar at the top of the hill. Wonderful selection of activities in and around the property, with trips to the hot springs, horseback riding, water slide, cultural demos, etc. Only shortfalls might be road access (it is very rough) and lack of a store for snacks or other necessities.

Very remote area

The property is stunning, a true gem in the rainy season. A highlight of our trip to Costa Rica.

Idealer Ausgang für Aktivitäten. Super!!!

We stayed here for easy access to Liberia airport and so glad we found it! Everything you need is on the property so we didn’t even leave. Restaurants, free breakfast, hot springs, entertainment for family. Rooms very comfortable. Every night we enjoyed amazing sunsets at bar/restaurant-definitely a highlight! Also saw lots of wildlife around property.

Beautiful green spaces and eco-education content. Strong wifi in an area that is pretty much without it. Not fancy by any means, but solid food and drink with loads of trails yo explore, and very close to the Rincon de la Vieja park and volcano. Would have tried the pool but it was full of toads when we visited in the evening!

Family trip to Rincon de la Vieja. We have to first say that the road that leads to Buena Vista is quite tricky at night. If you can manage to drive there in daylight, it’s much easier. As for the hotel, it’s pretty rustic but comfortable nonetheless. Waking up to the sound of birds is great. The food is good, especially the pizza at the mirador while watching the sunset. We did all the activities and they were really fun and exhilarating. We especially enjoyed the Ziplines, waterslide and Tarzan swing. Not for the faint at heart. Staff is very helpful and a special thanks to Oscar David, who helped make our activity day a memorable one. We also went hiking in the national park. The hike up to the falls is challenging and a lot of fun.

Les plus beaux coucher de soleil, au restaurant el mirador.

Le personnel est impeccable. Les activités sont super! Le menu et la qualité des repas sont excellent. Endroit parfait pour se reposer. Toutefois l’horaire des déjeuner est très limité de 6:30 à 8:30 donc il faut se lever tôt de toute façon il est très difficile de faire grasse matinée. Les chambres sont très mal isolés. Ont entend dès le lever du jour les oiseaux singes hurleurs, les véhicules et chevaux circuler sans parler des voisins de chambre qui parlent et donne l’impression d’être dans notre chambre. Sommes toutes c’est un bon endroit pour les familles avec enfants qui se lèvent tôt et se couchent à 8:00 car à 8:30 il n’y a plus rien d’ouvert et le site est désert.

Buena Vista del Rincon offered a stunning escape nestled amongst the mountains. The highlight, without a doubt, was the incredible thermal pools. Taking a dip in the natural hot springs at the base of the volcano was pure bliss. The rooms themselves were spotless and comfortable. Keep in mind that the rooms don't have air conditioning, only ceiling fans; for March it was OK for my family. For the adventurous traveler, Buena Vista del Rincon offered a decent selection of activities. Definitely if you're a foreigner, try the cultural tour. The nature trails were well-maintained, and the horseback riding was a great way to explore the surrounding area. We also enjoyed tubing down the long slide, a refreshing way to spend a hot afternoon. However, there were a few areas where Buena Vista del Rincon could improve. The breakfast buffet, while adequate, was fairly standard and lacked any real wow factor. The trek down to the thermal pools, though scenic in its own right, was quite dusty and could be inconvenient because, according to the hotel, the only way to get to the pools is by tractor-drawn open carriage and by reservation only. Additionally, while the ecoadventure options were enjoyable, they weren't quite as extensive or unique compared to what other hotels. Overall, Buena Vista del Rincon is a nice place to reconnect with nature. However, if you're looking for truly exceptional ecoadventures and better meals, you might want to consider exploring other options in the area

Buena Vista del Rincon Eco Adventure Park was amazing. It was a little difficult finding it because it is up a long, very bumpy road without many signs. Our room was very quiet and nice. The view from El Mirador was amazing and the drinks were delicious! We had dinner at El Jaguar. Our waiter, who was from California, was great! He went out of his way to make sure our meal was a wonderful experience! The wildlife around the inn was great too. I highly recommend Buena Vista!

We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere here and being surrounded by wildlife. The sunset view from the Mirador restaurant was stunning! The food was good and the staff were friendly. The included breakfast buffet was amazing.

That place is amazing but food are not good. We ate in the restaurant "El Mirador" and food was terrible. We have been there before and last time we got the same problem.

They need better food and more fresh fruit
