Best hotel experience

5 stars – Best Hotel Experience in Costa Rica! I’ve stayed at a few different hotels in Costa Rica, but Vista Canyon Inn stands out as the absolute best. From the moment I arrived, the experience was smooth, relaxing, and incredibly welcoming. The staff was so accommodating—always friendly and ready to help with anything I needed. The atmosphere was peaceful and perfect for unwinding, whether by the pool or just enjoying the beautiful surroundings. I truly had a wonderful experience and can’t recommend this place enough. I’ll definitely be coming back! Also the most amazing views!

The property itself is very cleaned with beautiful garden, great view of the canyon and great staff. The street leading to the hotel has several empty lots full of trash. It is not advisable to walk at night. The hotel has no dining. There is a restaurant on the main road not too far from the hotel, but the menu is very limited and the food is average. This place is good for one or 2 nights.

Outstanding, relaxing & excellent

Everything was outstanding. The room was immaculate and I loved the paintings on the walls. Breakfast was delicious with a Costa Rican flair. I went swimming in the outdoor pool which was warm and so inviting. The outdoor dining room allowed me time to take in the view of the canyon as well as the birds. Everyone was very friendly and even the owners were very hospitable. I highly recommend the Vista Canyon Inn over any traditional hotel if you want a relaxed inviting place to stay.

Small boutique-like inn, located in a neighborhood. The staff were wonderful, breakfast very good. Pool is small, water warm. Rooms are nothing fancy, air conditioning units are noisy so bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Owner lives on the property, not super engaging, just wants to play retired. 😊. Paola was very helpful, a gem of an employee. Outdoor seating is nice, overall a nice stay.
