5/5 Excellent

"We strongly recommend this property for families looking to experience a bit of forest resort life in Costa Rica. Regarding the hotel itself, the bathroom was excellent - strong water pressure and high-quality toiletries. The staff were very responsive; they immediately fixed the wifi after we let them know it wasn't working and delivered blankets after reception hours. Breakfast was outstanding with a buffet of hot, cold, sweet, and savory options (there was also an omelette bar). There was a fridge but no microwave (we booked a superior room). This resort shines in its waterfalls and thermal springs. The trails to the waterfalls were impeccably maintained with attendants on hand to keep an eye on cars, take family pictures, and monitor belongings if you would like to take a dip. The thermal pools (10 pools, volcanic mud, 2 cold showers) were outstanding; there are towels and lockers available at the trailhead and attendants watching over your belongings at the actual pools. The locker rooms to change into swimsuits were well-maintained and appointed. You can book all kinds of activities at reception, but we found the included ones to be sufficient."

Bel endroit pour séjourner

"Villa avec des employés très engagés à assurer notre bien-être. Belle vue pour le coucher du soleil. La piscine, mud bath et les thermales sont très bien entretenus. Point négatif : le transport vers les chambres se fait en véhicule à moteur, ce qui est tout à fait compréhensible étant donné l’éloignement des chambres par rapport à la réception, au restaurant et à la piscine. Cependant, d’un point de vue environnemental, ce n’est pas idéal. L’équipe devrait envisager de se doter d’une flotte de véhicules électriques."

Great service

"Outstanding client service. Nice and calm place for hiding away from noisy city. Amazing landscape. Recomended definitly. Excelente servicio de Adrián en la recepción, Claudio y el Chef Oscar se esmeran en satisfacer siempre en la cocina. Un excelente lugar para huir del bullicio, en un paisaje magnífico en las faldas cercanas del magnífico Volcán Rincón de la Vieja. Recomendados. "

"Rinconcito is remote. Costa Rica’s roads are horrible. But once you get to Rinconcito, you’re in a stunningly beautiful area. The staff were great, the room was perfect, the food options were good and tasted great. We wish we had scheduled more time there so that we could have explored the property itself. In the full day, we had there, we had Rinconcito’s guide, Walter, take us to both sections of Rincón de la Vieja, which was AWESOME."

Nice and comfortable rooms. Great food. Fantastic service. Ideal location. Thanks to Joel and team for a wonderful stay."

"We stayed in the dome tent and it was amazing! We had a beautiful view when we woke up in the morning. There were showers and a mini fridge available too. The food at the ranch is amazing! The cook is wonderful. The jacuzi, pool, and animals were also a great add on to a wonderful stay!"
