I will add my two cents to the chorus of folks who were disappointed in this hotel. My husband and I stayed there one night -- glad it wasn't more. For $80, our room had no AC, no clock, no TV. It was a long walk between our room and the front desk and the restaurant -- up and down... more

I stayed here with my husband and three teenage sons during July. We were drawn in by the adventure package they offered and the nicely designed website but found the estate to be less than desirable. It's very remote, so much so that you really have to eat on property for meals and the food was terrible. We did the... more

My friend and i corresponded with someone who "booked" our transportation from Liberia to the hacienda and our tours. it turns out we were communicating with someone in the corporate office and they didn't relay any of our plans. We had no transportation set up and ended up taking a taxi to the hacienda. the price was the same, but... more

The Hacienda Guachipelin hotel is located on a working cattle ranch and although it appears to be a charming little hotel, I had a pretty horrible experience. The hotel is near the town of Curubande, about a half hour drive up a bumpy dirt road. When my sister and I arrived, we were pretty pleased, the rooms were nice, the... more

We stayed for 2 nights / 3 days at Guachipelin. A great base for day trips in Rincon de la Vieja National park. The volcano, waterfalls, geothermal activity and forest were all amazing. The Hacienda Guachipelin is a very big property and you can do lots of exploring with a walking distance of the ranch. There is a map available... more

A disappointment in many ways. The staff spoke very little English and seemed very slow to take care of things. It was very hot here, and there was no a/c. the room was fairly nice, but it contained a queen bed and a sofa bed. That would have been OK, except that there was no bedding for the sofa bed... more

An amazing getaway! My husband and I spent 3 nights here during our CR vacation. The room was simple and clean, the food was very good (I still dream of their beans and rice and fresh fruit), the service was kind and helpful (many spoke some English and those that didn't suffered through my Spanglish), and there were endless things... more

A friend and I stayed at Hacienda Guachipelin so that we could be close to Rincon de la Vieja National Park. The Park lived up to our expectations- the hikes were beautiful and had lots of unexpected terrain changes within one walk. Unfortunately we were not able to hike to the crater because there was too much wind and fog... more

My sister and I booked a one night stay at Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin on July 18, 07. To reach this hotel, I strongly recommend renting a 4 X 4 to get you there. We relied on taxi's and ended up spending $80 on transportation to and from the Libera Airport. The problem is that it's on such a bumpy and... more

Had a super experience with this all inclusive package. We stayed two nights, went horse back riding, to the mud/hot springs, hiked in the national park Rincon De La Vieja, tubing down the Rio Negro, and a zip line trip through the canopy. The buffet has lots of fresh fruits and good vegetable dishes. For me, it was too bland... more
