Beautiful property with so much to do on the grounds. We were traveling with two infants and were able to do a few different lakes right from the resort. The pool was nice and the staff were wonderful. My only criticism is there is only one restaurant with the same menu every day and although it is a large selection on the menu, there really isn’t anywhere else to eat close by if you don’t have a car as this is a secluded location. If the restaurant did different theme nights or offered a different menu each night, it might make it a little bit more exciting to eat in the same place for multiple nights in a row.

Bon rapport qualité prix. À découvrir.

Petit hôtel très sympathique. Le personnel est attentionné et le service est excellent. L’endroit est un peu reculé mais il ne manque rien. Les chambres sont propres, confortables et silencieuses. La nourriture est de qualité. Les petits déjeuners sont copieux mais un peu redondant. Endroit excellent pour visiter Rincon de la Vieja et ses environs. Beau petit sentier sur le site longeant un ruisseau. Vous serez entouré de nature. Nous y sommes restés 3 nuits.

Hotel was very clean, good food options and the concierge arranged transportation back to the LIR airport for an early morning flight. The location is definitely remote but did have cell service and all facilities like pool, restaurant well maintained.

Nice lodge, still partially under construction. We were disappointed that the tour credit we received with our hotels.com booking wasn’t accepted by the lodge, their reason being that we didn’t book the rooms through them but through hotels.com. 🤔🙃

We had to make an unplanned stopover close to airport. Glad we found this place. It is quite far from the LIR airport. Goes through 40 mins of wooded and uneven path. The lodge had pool and dining options. Close to the volcano and waterfall. There were several centipedes and insects around the property. We had to throw a few of them out from the rooms.

Rinconcito is remote. Costa Rica’s roads are horrible. But once you get to Rinconcito, you’re in a stunningly beautiful area. The staff were great, the room was perfect, the food options were good and tasted great. We wish we had scheduled more time there so that we could have explored the property itself. In the full day, we had there, we had Rinconcito’s guide, Walter, take us to both sections of Rincón de la Vieja, which was AWESOME.

Beautiful secluded property. Drive in requires patience with the road conditions, but isn’t bad. Restaurant on site is convenient because you don’t want to spend time driving in and out. Hiking on property was nice and the staff were very friendly!

Un petit paradis

Nous avons adoré le Rinconcito Lodge. Les déjeuners étaient fabuleux et le cocktail d’arrivée très apprécié. La route pour s’y rendre est cahoteuse mais vaut quand même le déplacement. La petite randonnée derrière le complexe, le partie près de la piscine et l’accueil des gens font en sorte que nous avons passé un merveilleux moment.

Great value for this beautiful property. All the staffs are very friendly and helpful for hiking information. Only thing is that there is a blackout in late night for a few hours. Didn’t bother me much though.

Staff was very friendly and generous. The room and the common areas were clean. The pool is very nice. Our trip in costa rica was mostly activities and hikings. We decided to stay at Rinconcito lodge for a relaxing day by the pool, reading, taking casual naps and drinking. And we weren’t disappointed. We would definitely visit again.
