Great place to go with family or friends
Posted Jun 23, 2017
Pros: The combination of narure, peace and so much outdoor activities to do, all in one place!!!
Cons: The bar maybe.... it is good but is not really a bar, is more of a lounge to hear some music and a drink
Location: Not much nearby.... mean outside the Hotel, but if you are willing to drive for an hour, you can go to beaches or some other places and enjoy
If looking for a nice quiet place that combines peace with a bunch of different outdoors activities, then this hotel is the place to go!!! They make everything as easy and friendly and comfortable to you as possible, it is expensive to eat there every day, but the menu worth it, if you rent a car, you can easily go to places outside the hotel, it will take you an hour or so to get to the beaches, but everything is well indicated by signs on the road and even if you stop and ask for directions, everyone will help you fin your way, the hotel es very safe, clean and have almost everything you need to make your stay as nice and active as possible, you should try the "one day adventure pass" it's great!!!

Nice Place to Stay
Posted Jun 7, 2017
Pros: All.
Location: The Rincon de la Vieja National Park is a 10-minute drive. There are Hot Springs and a LOT of things to do.
It is a great place to stay at. It was very very nice and it was not expensive at all. Very recommended.

Excellent and better than expected
Posted May 23, 2017Staff go out of their way to help. Everyone greets you and makes eye contact, the buffet changed and was fresh every day, from their own livestock and produce. The tours were well organized and fun

Good compromize between a rough local place and a too fancy resort for westerners only and without any soul

Not what I was looking for!
Posted Apr 11, 2017Hotel conditions were not very good.
Looks old and low quality materials for the facilities and also the beds and covers. The room didn't have a TV.
The hotel smell bad because of the farm that is almost in the middle of the hotel.
The restaurant is nice but expensive, breakfasts was very good.
Location is not bad, all the attractions are not in the hotel so you have to go in your car or bus.
The staff was good.
Need to improve Hotel conditions and infrastructure!

Adventure Hotel
Posted Mar 7, 2017
Pros: So much to do
Cons: Nothing
Location: Everything you need is there!
So many things to do at Hacienda Guachipelin and not enough time to do them. Zipping, horseback riding, white water tubing, hiking, hot springs and Ricon Volcano park. We have been to this hotel 3 times and every time had a great adventure. Everything is always great.

Nice hotel
Posted Mar 3, 2017
Pros: location
fun for kids
The hotel is fairly easy to find if driving yourselves. Check in was fine. The rooms are spread out quite a bit so it was hard to find our room initially. We ended up being close to the stables which wasn't terrible but the cows were kinda loud in the morning until they were milked/fed. We noticed the window was open after the 1st morning so once that was closed it was a little quieter the next day. The only bad thing about the hotel was the bugs. They can't do anything about it but we did get bit while eating and at the pool. Overall it was a good hotel and I would stay here again. Just know it is away from anything other then the park and the adventure tours that they have on site. We did both the Rincon de le Viejo park hiking and the adventure pass and they were all fun. Recommend those as well.

Thank you for your review. Yes the property is close to Rincon de la Vieja volcano national park and that it's 22 KM from town, but not that far from the beach, which is 55 KM away. About the bugs, this happens on windy days only, since they are pushed from the forest around the volcano, so don't expect them always. We hope that you can visit Guachipelin in the near future. Pura Vida !!!
