Aguas Claras Hotels from S$59

"We had an amazing time at Buena Vista Eco lodge. We stayed in the cabins and it was such a clean and cute accommodation. The buffet breakfast was excellent, we couldn’t have asked for more. We ate at both the Jaguar and the Mirador restaurant, the Jaguar had a wider selection and the food was delicious, while the Mirador is lighter fare but with stunning views of the country side and sunset. We did the zipline, the horse riding tour, the bird tour and the night tour. The zipline and horse riding was amazing, I would do it again in a heartbeat. The bird and night tours are lovely, but you have to be realistic in what you may or may not see. The staff in every location: the front desk, all restaurants, the nightour and bird tour guide, and the horseback riding guides are incredible, helpful, friendly, and they make it such a great experience. Be sure to set aside a day for the thermal pools, at first we didn’t realize how immense it was, but definitely worth it! "

"Roger and Rosie were exceptional hosts. The property is beautful and the breakfasts are amazing. A wonderful escape - we will be back."

"Amazing dinner and breakfast (with freshly baked bread no less!). Great views and just minutes away from the National Park. Couldn't recommend this little gem enough. "

"Food was incredible and fresh. Entire experience was great - wish we could have stayed longer. Lots of bird and wildlife activity, "

"Our stay at Agutipaca Bungalows was nothing short of amazing, and I only wish we had booked more time there. We had a one night stay on our last night before heading to the airport. The grounds are beautiful with fresh fruit trees an beautiful gardens. Check in was great. Amazing local coffee. Manuel took us on a lovely walk around the propane on the trails and he is such a great person who is clearly educated and passionate about all the different types of plants and trees growing there. It was fun and educational. The room was beautiful and decorated with such nice, handmade blankets and pillows, stunning paintings and fresh cut flowers. To top it off… they surprised us by delivering a fresh hot, delicious breakfast very early on our departure day. Highly recommend and want to come back one day. Incredible hospitality and beautiful place to stay."

"The food is very fresh and they take great pride in quality ingredients in their food and drinks. Each is a masterpiece both is taste and presentation! The staff are all amazing and the property is very clean, except for the pools which gather leaves from the trees above, but I appreciate it’s impossible to avoid. The tubing and zipline are a must try offered on the property and the guided walk and yoga beautiful experience. The thermal river is unbelievably beautiful and warm like a hot tub and clear to the bottom. You have to experience it to believe it. Lots of walking and steps but all worth it! Nothing but relaxation and beauty at this resort. The rooms are very functional and private and it was amazing seeing monkeys and birds everywhere. I would stay here again!"

"Nice location. It was ideal to stay here while visiting with family in the area. Fresh breakfast served (at add'l cost). "

"Nice small property with buildings spread around. Rooms 1-4 are in one building, but the rest looked individual. Clean, comfortable room. Bench outside on porch for seating. Dinner and breakfast were good with lots of options, and good beer selection for a small place. Very convenient to National park entrance for blue river hike."

"This would be a great stop for a luxury stay over a few days but wasn't worth the cost or distance for a single night stay. The sites of interest are spread out over quite a distance and it's not practical to fit in a visit to more than one of them between check-in and Costa Rica's early sundown. The rooms themselves are nice but not special, the cost/value proposition is really about what sites/activities are included and how easy they make it to book tours on the Hacienda grounds. The food was great but a meal of typical "casados" (the most economical option) ran our family of four $100 CAD. The grounds are beautiful and I would recommend the hacienda to those looking for an all-inclusive, but not a short stay."
