Beautiful property- stayed 3 nights at a dome tent with my 7 year old- it was very modern and well equipped. Staff are great and we enjoyed the zip lining and horseback rides while at the ranch. All were extremely convenient to book during our stay- available on an hours notice. Food was excellent and traditional and the ladies in the kitchen working at the ranch were amazing. If you are looking to do a horse back ride and zip line in Costa Rica I would highly recommend staying night or so and doing the activities while enjoying the property. It’s a better day than booking a tour from the coast if you have a car IMO, simply because you have more time to enjoy nature and generally more private zip lining and horseback riding so you could accomplish more. Our stay was mid March 2025. Activity prices were reasonable as was the stay.

A quiet place to stay

Something to bear in mind about Vida Aventura ranch is that it is remote. A lovely place to stay if you want to go horse-riding, or want to get away from it all. Once the sun goes down and the restaurant closes, there isn’t anything else nearby.

Beautiful place, would highly recommend

We stayed 2 nights in the amazing dome room ! It is spacious and well furnished and has everything you need ! The view is brearhtaking with beautiful sunset in the evening ! Big property that offers some acitivities (zipline, horse riding and small hike) ; you will be welcomed by the owner that will do everything to make your stay even better. Place is quite isolated, so they propose dîner and breakfast that really worth it and quite cheap for quality !

I took the rating from expedia of 9.8 at face value , what a mistake. Hard to get to, no TV, no restaurant after 7, breakfast was served without asking what we wanted, and then told what we had to pay , all in all a terrible experience . should have had a rating of 3 or 4 at best

If you are looking to decompress, enjoy the natural beauty of a massive estate, and breath clean air - this place is the best!!! Jorge, the owner is a veteran of the tourism industry and is extremely knowledgeable about geography, history, pretty much everything Tico. The property has a few pools, a hiking trail, a water slide, horseback riding, zip lining, a jacuzzi, and more. Bring a yoga mat and a bathing suit.

Vida Aventura Ranch was wonderful! It’s set back in beautiful rolling hills with a view of a volcano. I booked the last night of our trip there, before flying out of Liberia. After staying for the night, I wish that I booked more time. They have horse back riding, zip lining, many trails, pools (including a water slide), and delicious food. It is quiet, private, and relaxing. The staff are great. I would love to come back for a longer stay!

Wonderful family stay

We had a great time staying the the Vida Aventura Ranch. Jorge was so welcoming and had great communication before our stay. I would recommend a 4x4 getting to the ranch but it is totally worth the drive out to be in the true heart of Costa Rica. My kiddos loved the pool with a slide and I enjoyed the jacuzzi. The beds were the most comfortable we have stayed in during our 4 locations in CR. I got my dates mixed up and thought we had an extra night, so we left the apartment a little late but Jorge was very accommodating. Then we had to deal with a flat tire and he was very understanding and even brought us out fresh papaya juice. I was so grateful for his patience. Would highly recommend for families to stay in the large apartment with a full kitchen and a large bathroom. We had a wonderful time and it started our stay in CR perfectly. Pure vida

Le propriétaire est très accueillant. Il a bien pris soin de nous et nous a conseillé pour la suite de notre voyage. L'endroit est propre et les installations rendent le séjour agréable. Nous avons apprécié l'option de repas pour le souper et le déjeuner. Le seul point négatif est la route pour s'y rendre qui est cahoteuse et la distance pour les activités telles que le parc et les spas.
