Only stayed for one night but is was a great experience. The staff was wonderful, the breakfast was amazing. We arrived lat at night and the staff was kind enough to open the bar area and prepare us some fresh fruit, I still remember how good it was. Don't forget to hike the Rincon de la Vieja park.

I liked this hotel and would definitey recommend it. Its at the base of the Rincón de la Vieja Volcano and the grounds are really pretty. There are hammocks outside each hotel room, so at the end of the day I sat and read. The hotel has a free shuttle to the hot springs, which are free to hotel guests,... More

The locals and staff were very friendly and helpful, most spoken broken English. The adventure tour was phenomenal! I love how it was coordinated, safe & action packed! Two members of the staff really stood out to us, the Bartender Jorge & a student Biologist named Cesar. Jorge was very friendly, welcoming, interactive & had a great memory, as he... More

Husband and I travelled with our 2 grown daughters, and shared 2 rooms in January 2012. I was not offered an option for this date, as I am late in posting this review, so chose January 2013.

Cesar was very knowledgeable about the frogs,snakes and other reptiles. Freddy and the other two guides on the sip lines were great. The lunch was also very good. Tubing down the river was great fun. Didn't stay there so I really can't rate the rooms.

Hacienda Guachipelin is a very nice place, the gardens and surroundings are pretty. We stayed in a deluxe room and enjoyed it very much. The only negative point is that the restaurant doesn´t have a very good value for money, so I don´t recommend eating there. The hot springs and waterfalls are very nice.
