We stayed two nights in Canyon de la Vieja lodge and we absolutely loved it ! The lodges are isolated in the middle of a great park with a river. It is mountain style lodges, all in wood, and it felt very authentic. The rooms are enjoyable and spacious, and the bathroom is big and nice. There is a lovely... More

The room was pretty basic with no room safe, but clean. The location just by the canyon is impressive. There are a lot of activities which we would have done with more time. The dining room staff are friendly, the food is good, the bar with swimming pool alongside is a great place for a drink on a hot day.

Rooms were dirty, with no phone, no tv or other amenities, not even shampoo. There is not a good view of anything,... More

Nice clean hotel close by the Ricon de la Vieja national park. There is a nice pool, and the rooms are quiet, clean and relaxing. However it is a big hotel, with lots of cabins, so if you are looking for a small friendly place with personalised service, this may not be ideal.

The hotel is good: nice room, nice pool (bit cold), the spa looks great (we didn't use it, so I don't if it is good) There are some activities, but it seemed too expensive for what it was. But the staff made it a poor experience: - At the reception, the lady at the desk just said what she had... More

We did the horseback riding, zipline, lunch, and tubing down the river. Great fun! Excellent staff to help you along the way. They are working on adding newer amenities and it is very gorgeous. Lunch was delicious. River rafting was fantastic! After all of it, you soak in a hot pool and can go get a massage if you'd like.... More

This hotel offers a lot of excursions like canopy, horse riding, rafting, ... The rooms are nice and have airco. The staff is very friendly. If you stay here, you certainly need to do the canopy tour. It is very nice.

Lots to do, Bungalows were clean and very rustic. there is lots do do there, we went horse back riding which was enjoyable. We were actually allowed to run the horses. Jimmy our guide was great.

Lovely bungalow with a porche to enjoy evenings. Great pool, friendly staff, good breakfast and dinner at reasonable price. Nice to jump into the river, to get a massage, or to rest lazy at the pool. Visit the Rincon de la Vieja national Park, but remind to pay with small bills, they don't accept bills of 50USD !
