Our recent stay at was overall enjoyable. The accommodations were comfortable, although it's important to note that there's no air conditioning in the rooms, which can make them hot and humid during the day.  Dining experiences varied during our stay. Dinner at Jaguar was decent but unremarkable, while meals at El Mirador were a good, complemented by stunning views. Breakfast and lunch at La Montana were consistently very good. The pool area was well-maintained, although we were disappointed to find the poolside bar closed during our visit. One of the highlights of our trip was visiting the nearby National Park, a 1 hour and 20-minute drive to the entrance of Las Pailas. Despite the journey, the natural beauty and experiences within the park made it completely worthwhile. As part of our stay package, we had access to Pacaya Thermal Springs, a 20-minute tractor ride away. The early morning visit was serene, with the entire spa area to ourselves—a treat enjoyed by both us and the kids. We also explored the Higuerones Hanging Bridges, where 10 out of 16 bridges were open. Despite this, the experience was great, offering memorable views. We went at the end of the afternoon and at sunrise.  In conclusion,  our stay was pleasant overall, staff very nice, room were clean and highlighted by memorable excursions to nearby natural attractions.

The variety of activities on the property is amazing. Suprprise was size of the surrounding land with trails you can spend hours walking and number of animals to observe. Squirrel monkeys, toucans, motmots etc. We went to the hot springs, hanging bridges and, of course mirador bar and restaurant. Not only reception staff is nice and helpfull. Cheap next day laundry.

You can hear everything from the next room. The cabinas could use some improvement especially when it comes to this. There is not much where to eat despite the announced number of restaurants. In reality, if you are travelling in couple, you have only 2 options where to have dinner.

What a great experience we had at Buena Vista! We were there for three days and enjoyed the scenery, the people, and the cultural education. Right outside our room, we could do birdwatching, and saw some precious agoutis and monkeys. We even got to see three toucans, vividly sharing their colors. We bought the Eco Day Pass, which included the water slides, zip lining, horseback riding, hot springs, and the education about sugar, coffee, and clay pottery production. About an hour drive from Liberia airport, this was a great way to start our trip to Costa Rica before we hit the touristy Tamarindo! Thanks especially to David, our tour guide, who did a fantastic job of describing the animal, trees, and history along our excursions. Be careful of the cute little birds at breakfast. They are ready to swarm if you eat outside! 😂Machos Gustos!

It all met our expectations! I would say that extra care and attention should be had for little ones - the zip lining, horseback riding, and water slides can be a little dangerous.

The location is just marvellous, and the Spa deserves a very high ranking for its natural beauty. Tip: enjoy the sunset from the Mirador restaurant with cocktail & snacks!

The reception staff might be not the best I've encontered so far in a costarican hotel. I understand you can't smile to everybody and be sales-proactive, but several people of my group, checking in, felt like they were unwelcome customers - with no reason, apparently. Pity, but it's just a suggestion for the direction - it didn't ruin my stay, of course.

The huge hotel area offers many possibilities to relax and enjoy the nature. The air is nice and cool, especially during the night. The sunset view from the restaurant was stunning. The buffet breakfast was rearry good. The spa was why we came and we enjoyed it.

The walls od the hacienda rooms are thin, you can hear the neighbours a bit too well. At our second day we ran out of hot water in the shower.

Staff were super nice and friendly. The slide is so fun. Spa was incredible (go in the early timeslot and it’s so peaceful!). Gorgeous sunsets and scenery. Lots of animals. This would be a great place to take children.

The rooms are quite basic (no fridge, no aircon). The walls are so thin you can hear everything your neighbors are saying, unfortunately we had a loud child next door who kept screaming. The food isn’t great and quite expensive and there is nowhere nearby to go for food.

EVERYTHING! This was an impulsive Booking.com click. My husband and I spent 3 days there and it's heaven on Earth our 50 year old bodies feel great after our Massage at the hot springs our nights being treated Gracious by WILLIAM at the sunset restaurant. The service was A+ the food was fresh and delicious at all their places even at the springs.

I should have researched more, and I should have been more prepared, they were on their game I wasn't on mine.

The buffet style breakfast had a good selection of fresh fruit , breads and assorted hot food. The coffee, the dark roast, was excellent. The servers were friendly and happy to help.

We were very happy with every aspect of our visit. Even though we were only there for one night we are already planning another visit but next time for a longer stay. One suggestion, cushions for the exterior porch chairs would be nice.

The breakfast is good, tipicol Costa Rican with fresh made omelette. The property is large with good paved walking paths. Lots of activities, horse back riding, water slide, zip lining, and hanging bridges. The hot springs are included with the stay. Seen lots of birds, butterflys and coatis. There are two restaurants. El Mirador has a great view to watch the sunset. And really good pizzas.

If you don't have a rental car, then the only way to get there is by taxi or the resort will book a ride. About one hour from Liberia.

I loved the gardens surrounding the property, the horses roaming and the gorgeous view. I also loved the options of things to do with children, farm and hot springs! The room was great and the beds were comfortable.

The service and food at the sunset restaurant was not very good, although it had a beautiful view. Better for drinks and sunset.
