Dépaysant
C’est tres dépaysant, le seul point négatif est le chemin pour s’y rendre car c’est un chemin très accidenté, mais typique pour le costa rica, mais rendu sur place ca vaut la peine car il y a plein d’activités sur place, c’est tres intéressant

Buena Vista del Rincon offered a stunning escape nestled amongst the mountains. The highlight, without a doubt, was the incredible thermal pools. Taking a dip in the natural hot springs at the base of the volcano was pure bliss. The rooms themselves were spotless and comfortable. Keep in mind that the rooms don't have air conditioning, only ceiling fans; for March it was OK for my family. For the adventurous traveler, Buena Vista del Rincon offered a decent selection of activities. Definitely if you're a foreigner, try the cultural tour. The nature trails were well-maintained, and the horseback riding was a great way to explore the surrounding area. We also enjoyed tubing down the long slide, a refreshing way to spend a hot afternoon. However, there were a few areas where Buena Vista del Rincon could improve. The breakfast buffet, while adequate, was fairly standard and lacked any real wow factor. The trek down to the thermal pools, though scenic in its own right, was quite dusty and could be inconvenient because, according to the hotel, the only way to get to the pools is by tractor-drawn open carriage and by reservation only. Additionally, while the ecoadventure options were enjoyable, they weren't quite as extensive or unique compared to what other hotels. Overall, Buena Vista del Rincon is a nice place to reconnect with nature. However, if you're looking for truly exceptional ecoadventures and better meals, you might want to consider exploring other options in the area

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.

It was nice having eco-adventure activities right at the hotel (zip lining, horseback riding, etc.). The hot springs were also nice and relaxing (not fantastic to have to get pulled behind a tractor on the roughest road ever to get to the hot springs from the hotel but it was okay). The rooms were clean but no A/C. The prices at the restaurants were reasonable.

I stayed for a couple of nights at the beginning of my trip. The resort is nice, and the surroundings are beautiful. The staff is friendly and everyone always has a smile on their face. Special thanks to Daniel who guided my horseback trip to the waterfalls. Great experience! If you are looking for a quiet retreat, make sure you don't get a room by the pool. It was really loud until evening, which made it hard to relax and enjoy a nap after travelling for a long time. I would also recommend to confirm your taxi an hour before departure, as mine was never ordered and I missed the bus I was hoping to catch at a certain time. It happens. Not a big deal. Just good to know. All in all a nice stay!
