This was a beautiful and very peaceful property. The foliage, vegetation, hummingbirds, and butterflies were extraordinary. Rooms were comfortable and just what you'd expect at an ecolodge. Adventures were top notch. It was enjoyable hiking to the hot springs and waterfalls. We had a blast on the horseback tour and white water tubing adventures.

Very convenient with lots of activities to do. Super safe and clean. Also close to national park and La Leona (by car). Included activities are cool. Tubing is the best everdone anywhere! (Not included but worth it) A bit lack of intimacy as neighbours are very close and you can ear them talk in their room. Food is good but a bit expensive and no other choice around.

A fantastic place to spend a night, we wish we had stayed for two or three to spend more time exploring. The staff are incredibly helpful and there is so much to explore on foot, by bike/horseback, and by car. We had an amazing trip with our kids and hope to come back again soon!

The hotel was close to many different activities such as hikes to waterfalls, national park, eco adventures, etc. The buffet was very tasty along with the other dinner meals we had. Rooms were a little out dated and the walls were thin, but nonetheless a nice presentation. Pillows were a little thick and the bed was decent.

We enjoyed our stay at Hacienda Guachipellin. It was a great value for the price and had wonderful amenities. We thought the staff was a little inattentive and the restaurant was bland at best. The tours were a blast but a little disorganized. Definitely do the tubing which was super fun.

Amazing resort! It offers many different activities from horseback riding and hiking to waterfalls to hot springs and spa treatments. The environment is like an upscale ranch, rooms are spacious and ofter garden patio area and views of the surrounding forest, with many birds fluttering around. Nice big breakfast buffet, lots of seating and dining options.
