We loved staying at Canon de La Vieja Lodge for our first few nights in Costa Rica. It was a short distance from the airport and close to the National Park. Lots to explore in the area. The property had many activities to enjoy. Even though the property is popular with tour groups we never felt it was crowded and always found quiet areas to enjoy by ourselves. We greatly appreciated the hot water pools down by the river as well as the main pool with it's swim up bar. Highly recommend this Lodge. Keep in mind it has an eco lodge vibe. There are many animals as well as insects.

Great place to stay close to Liberia airport on your last night. Rustic feel with nice pool and soaking tubs overlooking the River. Ziplining was fun too!! Would stay again! Justin from Montreal.

Admittedly, we discovered this lodge because our flight from the Liberia airport was unexpectedly cancelled. We had spent a long, awful day at the airport and it was rather late when I booked through Expedia. (The airline had no accommodations planned for travelers. Ufff). I was SO relieved that the staff were willing to stay open late to receive us. They even asked the restaurant staff to stay late so we could all get something to eat before bed. The natural surroundings and nature are beautiful. The breakfast was a perfect Tico breakfast with gallo pinto and huevos. I am so grateful to have had a safe, clean cabin with air-conditioning in which to stay. Would highly recommend!

Service and food at restaurant was great. Accommodations and grounds not worth the $97. Just better than an hostel

This is a really lovely full service resort with many adventure options, spas, pool, bar and restaurant. No need to leave! The staff were very friendly and helpful. I look forward to returning. The only thing a bit difficult is getting to and from the LIR airport. Thank you!

This property felt a bit more like a hostel than we expected. It was very isolated, more so than we expected. It was drivable to the adventures we had planned for the day.

Nature and bugs are inseparable. Still, the red ants crawling on the walls of the room were a little uncomfortable. The service was great though.

Disappointing experience. Aged facilities, no amenities, bathroom in poor condition. The river side thermal pools, sustainability elements and the breakfast were the reason I am not leaving a 1 star review. Left after just one night and forfeited hundreds of dollars for my remaining reservation.

Great accommodation, 1/2 h from Liberia Airport by taxi. We had 2 rooms in one separate cottage in the middle of dry forest. We didn’t see for years such a beautiful Sky at night with so many starts. Clean air. Good breakfast. Great package for activities. Very accommodating front desk with each and every request. Overall- very good Expirience.

4/10

The scenery was amazing it was great to go into the Hot Springs and see all of the trees and the greenery around it. The only part that I did not like was that we had poop in our beds and in our sheets. We also had to fight termites and ants through the night

No hot water to shower for 2 days! Called the front desk on the 1st night they said housekeeping is off duty. Next day we were out all day for our adventures and when we returned still no hot water. 1st night dinner at their restaurant the whole lodge lost power for few hours. We ate dinner in the dark, it was kind of adventurous. Dinner was ok.

At first I thought it had a bit of a weird vibe, because it clearly caters to big groups, but this was actually a bonus because the groups don’t stick around during the day, which means we had the pool area all to ourselves. The pool area was really nice. The restaurant had a pretty basic menu, and the food was ok, not great, but well priced. Rooms were also basic, but clean and met all our needs. We stayed three nights and did the La Leona Waterfall tour in Curubande and walked at the Rincon de la Vieja National Park. With a car, the lodge was well located for this. Also very close to Liberia and the airport, but still felt rural, out of the way, quiet. The grounds were also nice, treed. Zip lining at the lodge looked fun.

This has an eco lodge feel to it, so don’t expect anything fancy. However, we enjoyed our stay and had fun doing the activities. The grounds are very pretty and there is a lot of nature all around. The staff was just okay. Not as outgoing or friendly as we have found other places and the communication wasn’t great. For example, we never did figure out how to use the mud baths because no one was available to help us. But, overall, it was a fun place to stay with my kids and I’m glad we went.

10/10

The property was a very typical Costa Rican Lodge. Beautiful location along a very nice river, off the beaten track away from loud city noise. The convenience of offering rafting, tubing, zip lining rappelling, spa service etc all in one place is very nice. It is reasonably priced for activities and the restaurant is very good. A nice buffet breakfast is included. Nice swim up bar and pool are. Service was prompt. As I stated earlier, the lodge was typical and can use a little updating. It had old school louvered windows and half of them had broken handles to open and close them which made it difficult for the A/C to be of optimum performance. Our entrance door dragged a little on the floor about halfway open, but a little lifting and it opened fully. If would be nice to have a mini fridge in the rooms. Hot water worked well! Overall, I really liked the place though. Staff was very friendly and the grounds were very pretty. I will be back with the kids next time to enjoy the activities offered.

The hot springs are not the hottest, maybe 100F. The breakfast was just basic. The food was just basic. The bed was hard, and with springs. The water pressure was not hard. The receptionist was not friendly. You cannot get into the room until checkin. The double charged me for my room, still waiting on a credit. Owner needs to be more involved. Coffee was disgusting, and the milk taste like powder milk. Smoothies didn't have real fruit.
