The hotel grounds are stunning with an array of colorful flowers, beautiful birds, and short paths that easily connect you to the buildings. The staff was friendly and helpful. I ate at the restaurant several times and each meal was delicious. All of this, plus convenient access to Parque Rincon de la Vieja!

We booked this hotel for a short drive from Liberia, on our first day. The road is decent, but not a quick, simple drive. The property is near the Rincon de la Vieja National Park, although you must drive a little to get to the park. Hotel staff were knowledgeable about the park’s features and what was open on different days. We loved how remote and peaceful this hotel feels. Definitely use Waze to find your way to, from, and around the park. Sadly, we wasted valuable time getting lost, missing what we wanted to see.
Backside and entrance to most buildings of about 5 units.
A room with a view - balconies all come with pretty hammocks.

Beautiful secluded property. Drive in requires patience with the road conditions, but isn’t bad. Restaurant on site is convenient because you don’t want to spend time driving in and out. Hiking on property was nice and the staff were very friendly!

Nice lodge, still partially under construction. We were disappointed that the tour credit we received with our hotels.com booking wasn’t accepted by the lodge, their reason being that we didn’t book the rooms through them but through hotels.com. 🤔🙃

Staff was very friendly and generous. The room and the common areas were clean. The pool is very nice. Our trip in costa rica was mostly activities and hikings. We decided to stay at Rinconcito lodge for a relaxing day by the pool, reading, taking casual naps and drinking. And we weren’t disappointed. We would definitely visit again.

We had to make an unplanned stopover close to airport. Glad we found this place. It is quite far from the LIR airport. Goes through 40 mins of wooded and uneven path. The lodge had pool and dining options. Close to the volcano and waterfall. There were several centipedes and insects around the property. We had to throw a few of them out from the rooms.
