Nice Hotel in the Forest

This is a nice hotel with a horse ranch for horse riding trips in the Rincon de la Vieja National Park. It is also near a canopy ride. The hotel is somewhat overpriced but after all a decent deal. The area around the hotel is decent for hiking and has a hot spring nearby.

There is a waterfall near the hotel. One can get there after a 30 minute hike. One can swim in the waterfall and jump from the rock.

wonderful adventure place

This is one of the most memorable places we stayed in Costa Rica. The $80 adventure pass is the best deal for this kind of stuff. They have the most interesting adventure program of all we had in Costa Rica. Tubing down a crazy turbulent river is nothing like you would experience anywhere else. Hotel rooms are large and comfortable. Very quiet though you can hear the sound of a geothermal electric station several miles away. The road was in a reasonable condition so SUV was not required (we had a regular car and did just fine). Totally safe parking at the hotel, the hot springs and at the National Park 5 km away. The buffet restaurant for $18 or so is worth it. Lots of Northern EU tourists when we were there in late Nov.

Arrive to the hotel at lunch-time and buy 1-day $80 adventure pass and split it between the afternoon and the morning of the next day.
