This place is awesome. We scored some cheap tix from DC to Liberia but only had the 3 days of Memorial weekend for our visit. We needed some place close to the airport and totally hit the jackpot by choosing Hacienda Guachipelin. The hotel is easy to find and a pretty straight drive from the airport.

Our trip was in late May of 2012, we had an amazing trip. We stayed for three nights, our first room did not have hot water, but once we went to the reception they were very quick to put us in a even better room. The only issue I had with the room was that the bed was too hard... More

This was recommended by rich coast diving and we had a great day. We took our 6 year old as well, and he joined all activities. The guides are very helpful with the kids so the rest of the family had a great time as well. We did the canopy, horse back riding, with a tube down the river plus... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Most staff members knew enough English to get by, and were super friendly. Rooms were clean, grounds were nicely kept with many blooming flowers and fruit trees. The Adventure Tours office is right across the street, so very convenient to book activities. There are a few dogs on the premise - very friendly and... More

I booked the room at Hacienda Guachapelin because we wanted to take the Guanacastetours.com day trip to Granada, Nicaragua and this was one of the non-coastal hotels where the tour would pick up guests. It was a great pit-stop between Tenorio Natl Park and the coast. The Hacienda was VERY clean and well decorated, but the beds were rock-hard and... More

This review is for the full day adventure package. Everything was awesome, except I would recommend bringing jeans for the horseback ride! Ouch! The tubing and zipline was very fun. We were lucky and only had 7 people on our zipline tour and 4 on our horseback ride! It rained very hard during our ziplining but that just made us... More

This was my families third visit to Hacienda Guachipelin. Rooms were clean, staff was very helpful, pool is small but nice. We took atvantage of the national park, saw many monkeys, hiked to two waterfalls, and took a mud bath. The food at the hotel is good, but expensive for what they offer.

My favorite place that I stayed in Costa Rica! I would absolutely recommend staying here! They have adventures, relaxation, great food, beautiful scenery, and wonderfully friendly staff. Considering the price we paid, we couldn't have done any better. I wish we had stayed longer to fully explore all that the hacienda offered. There are so many things that we didn't... More
