Abundant Adventures

This was the first day of our trip. Food and staff were great! Exciting and fun activities on the property. We particularly enjoyed the jungle water slide. I wish we were there another day to take advantage of the all-activity pass.

Great Place / Terrible Food

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

A mediocre place surrounded by majestic nature

This hotel is located in such a beautiful location. We saw many birds within the property than we had seen in all the paid tours elsewhere on our entire trip. However, I'm not sure if the view is worth the price paid. Because there is nothing in terms of comfort to demand this price. The hotel is located quite far from everything so you have no other choice than to purchase all the meals here in the hotel. That adds up to the already higher price for the accommodation. You have to reserve at the restaurant for dinner but there is no phone in the room, you have to walk to the restaurant to make a reservation. The breakfast hours are the shortest duration I've ever experienced in a hotel; from 630 AM to 830 AM. Since you are in the middle of nowhere if you slept in you have no other choice than to wait until lunch and pay for it. After reading all about venomous creatures in Costa Rica the structure of the cabins doesn't give any comfort. The wooden cabins has small gaps in between the wooden slaps and it's quite unsettling to think about all the possible invasions. This is worth if the price is in the range of a motel. Because that's what the property offers. A motel in a beautiful place. The staff at the restaurants are polite and friendly.

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.
