Wonderful staff, they were very kind, attentive and accommodating. The location was great and there was lots to do. We ate at the restaurant all 3 evenings we were there and loved the food. They even cooked the fish my son in law and grandson caught that day. It was the best fish dinner I have ever eaten. Taco Tuesday was great Mexican food with lots of variety, we liked it all! The pool is nice as was the hot tub which was the perfect size for the whole family and then some. The beach is beautiful with a hot spring near where the boats are launched. It was very convenient for my family to book a fishing trip and broad the boat at the resort beach. We enjoyed using the paddle board and the scuba mask.

Overall, it was great and I talked to my family about booking rooms again next year and inviting more of the family to spend the week at your resort with us. However, the beds were very uncomfortable and my son in law had a lot of stiffness and pain in his back so did not sleep very well. Sorry to say that because of the bed, he prefers to stay a a different resort that has a better, more comfortable bed next year.

Nice little resort with great atmosphere. Nothing around but all is there. On a beautiful white sandy beach . Jacuzzi. Hot swimming pool with a bar in the middle. Games for free. Ping pong. Pool. Iron. And more. Good food at restaurant on site with some evenings with a singer. Possible massages onsite. And snorkeling, diving, fishing excursions may be booked from the hotel. Rooms are a bit old but clean and confortable. Little private patio Is fun too ! Shower with hot water and good flow.

Wifi is very slow so if you need to book further hotels , don’t count on it, you’ll time out before ending your air bnb or other reservations.

We loved the location, the cleanliness, and the hot tub.

The property could use a little updating, but it is clean and convenient. We will definitely stay here again .

The property is a hidden gem. Located right on the beach. The garden is beautiful and the pool area is well maintained

I would love to see mini refrigerators in the rooms. Also, our room was for two but we were only given a coffee set up for one and only one wash cloth at check in. I had to ask after room was made up for two wash cloths not replaced and never did get the extra coffee cup requested. Just a small criticism to help housekeeping do better at little details for better service.

Located right on the beach. Lovely landscaping with lots of flowers and fountains. Enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and above average restaurant food. Ask about morning yoga class. This is an older resort with lots of character.

We had reserved the least expensive room on Booking.com. It was dark, away from pool area and not very inviting. For $25 more a day, we were near the pool and the room was much nicer. Would encourage you to pay a little more for a lot more

The opposite of Cabo in the very best way! So relaxing. The location is phenomenal. So are the natural hot springs on the resort, which flow into the ocean, which is otherwise cool in winter. We loved that the same family has always owned the resort, and that they still seem to love hospitality, as they are amazingly hospitable. There were some great special meals and music as well. American expats who live in the region flock to this place for the hot springs and warm beach, and they are very interesting to talk to.

Some might say the decor could use a refresh...as the resort still has a Seventies vibe...but mid-century modern is in these days, so we didn't mind.

Elizabeth was great at the front desk, the food was absolutely delicious. We paid to upgrade to a renovated room and found them nicer than what we orginally had reserved. I recommend paying for the premium room.

There are almost no outlets in the room to plug in your devices, there are none near the bed fyi. The black out curtains do not cover the windows entirely Wifi in the room is $5 a day but works extremely well

We love the kind staff, delicious food & great accommodations at Buena Vista. We feel like family when we arrive and are always sad to leave. Not a huge tourist trap resort... is a small wonderful place.

We had a beautiful renovated room (we called ahead to confirm). It was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The beach was phenomenal. The food was extraordinarily good.

Like others have said it’s in need of updating in general to be perfect— it has character and good vibes.

The staff was extremely accommodating especially Axel. He personally set up an alternate fishing trip and shuttle to San Jose when the weather did not permit us to fish out of Buena Vista. The facilities and rooms were comfortable. That being said, I will surely visit again.

The bathroom in the room was very small!
