We booked this hotel for a short drive from Liberia, on our first day. The road is decent, but not a quick, simple drive. The property is near the Rincon de la Vieja National Park, although you must drive a little to get to the park. Hotel staff were knowledgeable about the park’s features and what was open on different days. We loved how remote and peaceful this hotel feels. Definitely use Waze to find your way to, from, and around the park. Sadly, we wasted valuable time getting lost, missing what we wanted to see.
Backside and entrance to most buildings of about 5 units.
A room with a view - balconies all come with pretty hammocks.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Property was in good shape and had a nice walking trail on property. We would rated this property much higher, but we stayed in room 506. This was the noisiest hotel room we have EVER stayed in. It is typically very windy in this part of Costa Rica and this unit was the upstairs unit with a tin roof. We thought the whole building was going to come down when the wind blew. I'm a sound sleeper but even I had a very fitful night's sleep while here. Yes, the road up to the lodge is attrocious but we sort of expected that based on previous reviews. Just expect to add a lot of extra time to estimates of time to get there. The restaurant was fine and service was good. Just fix the roof!

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.

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.
