Agréable
Pros:

Le service et la qualité du restaurant Nekajui étaient exceptionnels.
Ma tante qui vit au Costa Rica n’a jamais mangé un repas local de cette qualité.

Cons:

Le prix des articles du gift shop : SCANDALEUX !!!
Une paire de chaussettes enfant à $35 alors que la même paire est à $15 à Tamarindo où les prix sont déjà élevés.
C’est une honte !

Également la piscine est assez moyenne : la couleur est trouble et l’odeur très forte et désagréable (sûrement du produit désinfectant) 😖

Relajante pero sin comer bien
Pros:

El entorno tan mágico y el silencio que hay. Se puede descansar plácidamente y a la vez hacer muchas actividades como caminar y luego refrescarse en los ríos.

Cons:

El restaurante Hacienda para los almuerzos y cenas. Lo platillos son muy caros y no tienen buen sabor. Es la segunda vez que voy y tuve la misma mala experiencia con la comida. Comida sin sabor y muy cara

The best Rincon location!
Pros:

Comfortable hotel room, right in the middle of all Rincon sights (everything is just a 5-10 drive or walk away). Free access to hot springs, waterfalls and natural pools which really makes the room price very acceptable. Extensive breakfast buffet. Two restaurants to choose from (either bigger and busier restaurant that also offers buffet, or smaller and cosier restaurant with Costa Rican regional dishes). Nice pool with jacuzzi.

Cons:

Nothing in particular

Goede prijs- / kwaliteit verhouding
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel en dito ontvangst.

Hotel ligt midden een groot natuurgebied en je kan veel activiteiten ondernemen of hiken.

Wij zijn wezen “tuben” overigens wat een aanrader is, echter het is wel heel druk

Er is een zwembad aanwezig

Het natuurgebied, Rincon del Vieja, is overigens niet gratis en je moet online tickets kopen

Hou er rekening mee dat al het avondeten glutenvrij is

Cons:

Kamers kunnen wel wat vernieuwing ontvangen en bedden zijn hard (maar dat is persoonlijk)
