This is a remote location, with limited Wi-Fi, but it was fantastic. Plenty of adventures during the day, and service is friendly and informative. Carlos was brilliant at El Mirador, and gave us plenty of useful tips for the rest of our stay in CR.

Exceptional location with a commanding view of the Costa Rican West Coast and Pacific Ocean. Stunning sunsets from the restaurant and bar at the top of the hill. Wonderful selection of activities in and around the property, with trips to the hot springs, horseback riding, water slide, cultural demos, etc. Only shortfalls might be road access (it is very rough) and lack of a store for snacks or other necessities.

Buena Vista del Rincon is an excellent place to experience various Costa Rica experiences in single place. It is located in the gorgeous place with great scenery around, and a lot of wildlife - we've seen various beautiful birds, a few kinds of monkeys, agouti, coati, iguanas, etc. The place offer's day pass which includes all the activities for a single price - I'd strongly suggest using it. We stayed just 2 nights, but managed to squeeze in all the activities. It would be easier if we stayed 3 nights though. The whole place is very well managed and runs as an efficient machine - everything goes on time, and crew makes sure to keep all the requests met. The food in breakfast and lunch buffet is Ok (not the gourmet options, but sufficiently alright). The place is clean and well maintained.

The pool was much smaller than it appears on the website. When we arrived the hot tub was drained and the pool bar closed, so not a great first impression. However, the Mirador restaurant has an amazing view and a delicious menu. We enjoyed the hot springs although it was a bumpy 20 min tractor ride away. Slide was fun for my son. Breakfast was excellent.

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
