This hotel was a great - good value, it is close to the park, the restaurant was excellent, the property was beautiful, and the service was excellent. Moses at the front desk was very helpful, and the restaurant manager was extremely friendly and helpful figuring out how to obtain a replacement camera memory card.

Disappointed no coffee maker, Garden view was bushes infront of parking lot. Pool was nice, beautiful hiking trail. Very basic room.
Restuarant was ok. Same menu for lunch and dinner. And too far to drive anywhere else.

All good but no frills... excellent tenderloin with malbec in the restaurant. Great value for the price. Beware of birds over the parking as your car will be covered in no time! I was not warned about this by staff.

Hotel was very clean, good food options and the concierge arranged transportation back to the LIR airport for an early morning flight. The location is definitely remote but did have cell service and all facilities like pool, restaurant well maintained.

We had an amazing time at this tranquil lodge. The entire staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Walter guided us on horseback through a scenic trail on the property and shared his passion for the surrounding flora and fauna. It was truly an unforgettable experience.

Staff was very friendly and generous. The room and the common areas were clean. The pool is very nice. Our trip in costa rica was mostly activities and hikings. We decided to stay at Rinconcito lodge for a relaxing day by the pool, reading, taking casual naps and drinking. And we weren’t disappointed. We would definitely visit again.

Great value for this beautiful property. All the staffs are very friendly and helpful for hiking information. Only thing is that there is a blackout in late night for a few hours. Didn’t bother me much though.

Beautiful property with so much to do on the grounds. We were traveling with two infants and were able to do a few different lakes right from the resort. The pool was nice and the staff were wonderful. My only criticism is there is only one restaurant with the same menu every day and although it is a large selection on the menu, there really isn’t anywhere else to eat close by if you don’t have a car as this is a secluded location. If the restaurant did different theme nights or offered a different menu each night, it might make it a little bit more exciting to eat in the same place for multiple nights in a row.
