Wow! What a surprise! Wonderfully manicured lawns and ultra clean private casitas. Given the remote nature of this property, I was expecting more rustic accommodations. The grounds were gorgeous set in the mountains - and the whole property was much bigger than I anticipated. Perfect for an outdoor adventure. The thermal pool area was so fun. Start with slathering mud all over you, let it dry as you walk around well appointed paths full of things to see - natural boiling water and mud coming up from the ground and a nature path that runs along the river. Shower off and then sit in the natural hot springs. The sauna is a rustic wooden hut built over one of the natural boiling water springs. Incredible! The smell of sulfur and the sound of boiling water underneath you remind you constantly of where you are at. The pool is beautiful with comfortable lounge chairs, a breathtaking view, and swim up bar. The adventure doesn't stop at the thermal pools. We did the ziplining and horse back riding 2-in-1 combo package. It was awesome! The horses took you to beautiful waterfalls with stunning views of Rincon de la Vieja. The\ horses then dropped you off at the zipline area. The first of 10 ziplines is over a 100-ft gorge. Not for the faint of heart! I wasn't going to do it, but the guides made it easy and went with me on my first several lines. The tour was well worth every dime! At night, the only restaurant on the grounds was formal, but delicious. If you are in the Liberia area and like adventure, this is a must. We heard stories of the drive there, and yes, it's a little bumpy and dusty, but it was just fine. We were there during peak season, and there weren't many people there. The focus is truly on nature, as there is NO nightlife. A true outdoor get-away!
