Stayed here for 2 nights and did the All day Adventure. Very much like staying at a Motel, room was not very nice, so in that case it was way overpriced.

Our stay was great. The property is beautiful. Service friendly and helpful. One area of improvement would be the free shuttle - it needs to be updated. It was an old school bus and a very long bumpy ride to attractions. I did appreciate that the adventure centre could arrange for private cars but it costed additional $15usd to get to each place on the property or national park (then $15 usd back).

Charming, beautiful grounds, close to the volcano, waterfalls, hot springs, pretty pool area with volcano views. Drawbacks were that it was remote enough to make it hard to dine elsewhere and even though all of the food is grown and cooked on the grounds, we really liked some dishes and really didn’t prefer others.

This was the final leg of our trip to Northern West Costa Rica. It was nice to settle down at Hacienda Guachepelin knowing we could just stay put for a bit. The Hotel is right next to the entry to Ricón de la Vieja National Park. It is on extensive grounds and has beautiful views and many activities including tubing, horseback riding, zip-lining, hiking and relaxing in hot springs and waterfalls. We took an easy guided horse back ride to La Oropendola Waterfall which is an impressive 25 meters. We also visited the hot springs, but were less impressed, the pools were somewhat murky and too hot for the day so we did not stay long. We took a short hike to additional waterfalls near the hot springs, which was nice. Breakfast was included in our stay which was good and appreciated. We also had dinner at the main restaurant which was fine. Our hotel room was basic but very comfortable.

Birder's paradise

Ranch-lile setting on edge of Vincon de la Vieja park. Pool is small but nice - great view of volcano. Room with 2 king beds was huge and clean. Would have liked more towels. Air conditioning was powerful. Not supposed to out toilet paper in toilet. Saw a ton of awesome birds off our back porch. Unfortunately, the staff building was behind us so we had to listen to their tv/radio. Food was passable at best. Staff service at meals was ok. Before you book one of their adventure tours, ask for details. We thought wed signed up for a driving tour of local waterfalls. The guide didn't mention that we'd be crossing 3 rivers barefoot, or that we'd be walking 6 miles on rough terrain in 95 degree weather. And that is ending our tour quite early because we were exhausted. When we asked him about the rest of the tour, he grossly downplayed the distance/time remaining. This may be right up your alley - just be clear on the specifocs because their website description wasn't accurate in our case.

The trails are real singletrack mountain biking trails. We went out for 3 hours and barely covered a quarter of the terrain. The waterfalls on the grounds are amazing. The variety of birds was amazing! It's best to have a car here because the best waterfall and the hot springs are a drive away. And the breakfast buffet was phenomenal: omelets made to order, pastries, fresh orange juice, fesh fruit, yogurt, granola, and hot food like fried plantains, stewed chicken, roasted yams etc. And everything is gluten-free - celiac heaven :-)

The property is well kept, clean, and comfortable. The staff was excellent. The waterfals and hot springs were very enjoyable. My only complaint is that the mattresses are very hard, otherwise, we had a very nice stay and would highly suggest it.
