Delicious breakfast. The fruit juice was the BEST we had in Costa Rica which says a lot since it’s all divine. The location is in a tiny town really far away from the entrance to the park but we asked for a fun recommendation for a hike and went with a local guide to a treasure. We loved being up Rincon a bit away from it all. The accommodations were awesome.

Location was beautiful, grounds, staff, steam and thermal amazing.

Beautiful with great hot springs

Privacy and nature at your fingertips.

The location and quiet atmosphere at night.

Warm, attentive and kind service-- Karla made us delicious meals, and even held our baby so we could eat! They were totally accommodating to the dietary needs of our group, and we had the whole place to ourselves. It's a beautiful setting, and the decorations inside of the lodge are so cute. A peaceful and relaxing stay. Def recommend 4x4 to access everything you want to see in the surrounding area. Prepare for the 20km of dirt roads to arrive, take your time, Tico style, and you'll arrive just find. Christian is very helpful too, totally recommend the tours, you'll see beautiful things that you wouldn't otherwise- we went to the thermal waters and it was amazing, a beautiful oasis in the jungle all to ourselves- on a weekend!!! If you're trying to go to the national park it is a bit far, the attractions in that area are the waters and the large variety of waterfalls. For mountain excursions you'll need a guide.

The staff were spectacular, willing to go the extra mile to help. The rooms were spacious. The bathroom had a make up mirror and a big stall for the shower. The best part for me was the balcony with two rocking chairs and a hammock that could have been built for two.

The room was very nice. The restaurants are good. The resort has many activities that are all inclusive with your stay. We loved the hot springs and the waterfalls. Wish we had more time for other activities. The breakfast buffet was wonderful.

The room was REALLY hot, and the only form of AC was this tiny manual one that just blew lukewarm air so that wasn’t fun. The shower drain also didn’t drain and after a 5 minute shower, all of the water was flooding over, but I mentioned this to Andre and he said he’d fix it. Plus I was only there for one night so it wasn’t a big deal. Here’s where my very poor rating comes from: Upon arrival, I asked if it was ok if I paid for the room on departure and they said it was ok. I wanted to check out this waterfall about 20 min by car from the lodge, and then go straight to the airport after. Since there were no Ubers around the area (it’s pretty isolated) Andre offered to drive me to the waterfall and then come back and pick me up and take me to the airport. I thought this was such a kind gesture since he did not say anything about it costing money. I probably should have known, but we had all good chats and got to know each other so I thought he was just offering. I packed up all my things and headed to the living room to pay when Andre said they ONLY accept cash. I had been paying with card my whole trip and only had like $7 in colones so I told him I would need to go to an ATM. He drove me there, and my card kept getting rejected most likely due to me being in another country. I told him this and asked if he had Venmo or PayPal or Zelle or anything to do a bank transfer. He said no, but my flight was soon so we continued to drive to the airport. He then asked his sister if she had PayPal and she said yes, so I thought ok perfect I’ll just PayPal her. I didn’t have any wifi to get a connection to PayPal and so Andre used his hotspot from his phone but my app continuously said it couldn’t log in. Only then did he tell me that the full amount was going to be 100 dollars. My room was only $42 so I was confused about that price and then he said he was charging me for the ride. I thought that it was so sneaky for him to spring that on me on the way to (continued)
