I got stuck at the Liberia airport and all the smaller hotels around were booked. Thank goodness the airport had Internet and I found this little gem. I got a cab which cost about $65 American and headed out there. Had a nice comfy little cottage but don’t expect a western chain hotel experience it’s more like going to summer camp. But it was super adventurous and fun. The people were warm and hospitable, and it was wonderful to be so close to nature. Next time I’ll consider this place and enjoy more of the adventure amenities like zip lining and horseback riding. I really did enjoy the mud bath and the natural geothermal pools they had. There also was a very lively pool with some bartenders who were making some outstanding cocktails. I got this virgin passionfruit drink that was just outstanding.

This was a cool spot. Beds are great, bathroom was very dated and toilet had some issues with the water flushing properly but we just jiggled the handle each time and eventually it worked. There was a large group there likely a wedding, so we did the buffet which was just average, then found out it was $27 a plate! The restaurant has better food with better prices. Spa isn’t much of a spa so much as it’s just some plunge pools. Could be so much more. Cool experience but little pricey for what you get.

Very close to the airport and our vacation needs. The breakfast is a traditional meal (beans, fruit, pancake rice, plantain), the lunch/supper area has a variety of selections enough for our 9 day stay. We were disappointed that there are no longer spa staff for any spa services and breakfast is only until 9am. We also lost power to our cabin 2-3 times during our stay. Also please note when you book a “cabin” they have semi cabins that share a thin wall (like a townhouse) which we were not expecting. Staff go above and beyond to help. We loved that there was lack of people and that there were activities on-site. Recommendation for the site, please add “do not disturb” signs to cabins so staff don’t walk-in on guests :)

Nice stay near Rincon de la Vieja

We enjoyed our stay! It was comfortable, rustic and basic needs were met. Nothing fancy. Restaurant was yummy. Free breakfast was good typical Costa Rican food. Many activities available. Spa service, mud baths, horseback riding, rock climbing all available. Nice poolside bar.

We loved staying at Canon de La Vieja Lodge for our first few nights in Costa Rica. It was a short distance from the airport and close to the National Park. Lots to explore in the area. The property had many activities to enjoy. Even though the property is popular with tour groups we never felt it was crowded and always found quiet areas to enjoy by ourselves. We greatly appreciated the hot water pools down by the river as well as the main pool with it's swim up bar. Highly recommend this Lodge. Keep in mind it has an eco lodge vibe. There are many animals as well as insects.

Admittedly, we discovered this lodge because our flight from the Liberia airport was unexpectedly cancelled. We had spent a long, awful day at the airport and it was rather late when I booked through Expedia. (The airline had no accommodations planned for travelers. Ufff). I was SO relieved that the staff were willing to stay open late to receive us. They even asked the restaurant staff to stay late so we could all get something to eat before bed. The natural surroundings and nature are beautiful. The breakfast was a perfect Tico breakfast with gallo pinto and huevos. I am so grateful to have had a safe, clean cabin with air-conditioning in which to stay. Would highly recommend!

The property was a very typical Costa Rican Lodge. Beautiful location along a very nice river, off the beaten track away from loud city noise. The convenience of offering rafting, tubing, zip lining rappelling, spa service etc all in one place is very nice. It is reasonably priced for activities and the restaurant is very good. A nice buffet breakfast is included. Nice swim up bar and pool are. Service was prompt. As I stated earlier, the lodge was typical and can use a little updating. It had old school louvered windows and half of them had broken handles to open and close them which made it difficult for the A/C to be of optimum performance. Our entrance door dragged a little on the floor about halfway open, but a little lifting and it opened fully. If would be nice to have a mini fridge in the rooms. Hot water worked well! Overall, I really liked the place though. Staff was very friendly and the grounds were very pretty. I will be back with the kids next time to enjoy the activities offered.

Our stay at Canon de la Vieja was...weird. The reception desk did check us in efficiently and shared some pertinent details about the property. But what staff failed to share was also rather important, e.g. where our room was (they showed us on the map but then we were left on our own to figure out a rather circuitous arrangement of cabins) and how to unlock the surprisingly tricky (and backwards!) lock on the cabin door. It was only our luck that there was a staff member outside the cabin next to us who let us in - didn't say a word, by the way, just opened it and left. We then entered a very simple, underwhelming room inclusive of many, many bugs and paper thin walls. Lastly, as we entered the restaurant for dinner we were ushered in to a different place and then left awkwardly standing next to a pool bar. We were not greeted and were left to our assumptions. Eventually, our server was lovely and the food was, well it was ok. This was our last stop on our trip through Costa Rica and my husband and I were only staying one night to be closer to the airport in Liberia for our next morning flight out. Let's just say that I'm glad we weren't planning on staying any longer. I would've been more accepting of the rustic facilities if there had been a little more hospitality involved.

This is a nice place close to Liberia airport. We've stayed here twice. We wish the cabins had a refrigerator, and a microwave. Sadly, the last morning, while sitting on the front porch, we were attacked by a swarm of black wasps, very painful -not sure if the hotel controls them or not. Overall, we like this place and may stay again next year.

We stayed at this resort by chance for one night due to starting our vacation early because of winter weather in the states. I prefer more authentic Costa Rican hotels/resorts vs a chain hotel close to the airport. While the taxi ride was more expensive, I felt it was worth it. It seemed secluded, was quiet, the rooms were extremely clean, there were thermal pools as well as a nice pool area and the included breakfast was definitely a plus! The drinks were delicious and reasonably priced! We had the pleasure of talking with Julian, who was a joy. I always love to learn about different cultures and people from other countries. Would highly recommend this place if you're considering this area. I would love to go back and spend a little more time in this area. My only suggestion is to add a golf cart or something to take people and their luggages to their room. We were at the very back of the resort and it was a bit of a walk with our luggage. All in all a great stay!
