The complex had everything we needed to adventure out so isn’t need to drive anywhere. The staff were really nice. My daughter was bitten by some sort on insect in the room and paramedic was there within 5 minutes to tend to her. He was such a kind knowledgeable man. We were really grateful that he was there. We literally WhatsApp reception and he was there so quickly. There is security everywhere on the complex and we felt safe at all times. They had the best waterfall lagoon we have seen so far in Costa Rica. The hot springs were amazing too.

Hacienda Guachipelin is nestled within Rincon de la Vieja National Park, offering convenient access to hikes featuring stunning waterfalls, volcanic activity, and abundant wildlife. We encountered multiple species of monkeys and birds during our trail explorations. On the hotel grounds, we spotted numerous hummingbirds, owls, and even an iguana right by the hammock outside our room. At night, the stars were remarkably clear. The adventure tour operated by the property included activities such as horseback riding, white water tubing, and ziplining. Notably, the bathroom soaps are specially crafted for Hacienda Guachipelin, with delightful scents like coconut, ylang-ylang, and green apple. The hotel restaurants serve exceptionally good food accompanied by attentive staff. The breakfast buffet offers a variety of fresh tropical fruits, scrambled eggs, pancakes, and local dishes such as chorizo, beans and rice, and fried cheese. Additionally, there are numerous restaurants and shopping opportunities a few miles away in Liberia.

Enjoyed our three nights. Room was very comfortable, spacious with great views over the garden. Breakfast selection was excellent, though very busy with service for tea/coffe/juice slow at times as this wasn't part of buffet and was served at table. Evening food good with reasonable prices, but timing for restaurant bookings not flexible, either too early or late. Canopy bar much better as no reservation required and nicer surroundings. Very disappointed with Thermal Springs, crowded with tours and large loud groups. Hotel pool was much enjoyed and beautiful gardens with lots of birds and wildlife.

Excellent place for many adventures! Hotsprings were fabulous as well as the Waterfalls. One could do as much or as little as one wanted. Well marked paths and informed staff. Excellent breakfast with many choices. Left my tablet in our room and was informed by the front desk they would keep it for me, great service!

We enjoyed our stay here. The staff was really friendly and welcoming and there is a ton of stuff to explore in the area. You charge everything to your room, so it's nice not to have to carry money with you. Breakfast was a buffet, lunch with the adventure pass is a buffet, and you have several options for dinner - including a buffet. My kiddo loves a buffet and I enjoyed getting to try lots of different Costa Rican dishes. We saw and heard a ton of birds from our room and were able to walk to some of the natural attractions. We did the tour with horseback riding, river tubing, lunch, ziplining, and hotsprings. It was all good, but the ziplining felt kind of rushed.

The rooms are large, clean and well-appointed. The grounds are well-kept, and the staff is helpful. Customer service was excellent. Breakfast buffet was great. It was also nice to have the Hot Springs on site, even though this required a drive to get there and access. Additionally it was lovely to be able to visit the waterfalls right on site, and to access Rincon de la Vieja National Park very easily without leaving the property.

Everything was great! Staff were the best! Rooms were standard hotel styel but clean and comfortable with a local flare. Activities right on sight lots of access to amazing spots. Be in mature in minutes. Food options really great with an amazing buffet! Horses are well cared for which is important to me when I do trail rides. That was a plus.

We loved the location and the free access as hotel guests to several Waterfalls and the hot springs. That alone made the stay worthwhile. The breakfast was also exceptional as a buffet. It's nice to have several restaurants on site and there are so many things to do nearby. I definitely would stay at this hotel next time. The pool was also very nice.

We just did the free activities (multiple waterfalls, hotsprings as well as Vieja national park) and were blown away by the value of those experiences and there's an impressive range of other experiences and tours available for anyone seeking a fairly active holiday. All through the day, we felt surrounded beauty of the hotel gardens, range of landscapes (rainforest, drier volcanic formations), and birdwatching. The breakfast is buffet style where you can request a fried egg at the grill; many sweet/savory, Costa Rican/American, healthy/more indulgent options.

We loved how well thought out the property is. There is a lot to see and experience and while it’s all on site, it is spread out. So you have the convenience of everything in proximity but it’s not on top of each other. Also there is a sense of authenticity about the place. The culture is very much felt and celebrated. The staff was amazing. So hard working and delightful. The rooms were comfortable and the hammocks and seating areas outside were so relaxing. We loved all the activities and hikes and the close proximity to the Liberia airport.
