Buena Vista Lodge is located in Guanacaste Province above Canas Dulces. It is adjacent to Rincon de la Vieja National Park but there is no direct access from the Lodge or the road leading to the lodge. The elevation offers welcome relief from the heat of the lowlands of Guanacaste and the rough drive up to the lodge offers some... more

we stayed here during the height of the rainy season. lots of rain every afternoon. plenty of activities to keep busy. food is typico but above average quality and top notch wait staff. the rooms are straight forward w/o amenities but clean and well maintained. (would have liked a coffee maker) nothing negative about this resort quality lodge, they do... more

My wife and I stayed here for two nights in February 2006 while we were on a Costa Rica adventure tour. The setting is stunning, with views of the Rincon de la Vieja mountains in one direction and the Guanecaste lowlands and Pacific Ocean in the other. The property is huge, and a good chunk of it is a working... more

We just returned from Costa Rica just a few days ago and stayed at the lodge for two nights. It was a nice, clean lodge, with decent food. The food they serve is more "mess hall" style, where there is no menu and you are served whatever they decide to prepare. The food was good, though, so I can't complain,... more

Every member of our group participated in the canopy tour - the one that starts just up the hill from the water slide and ends somewhat near the... more

In all fairness, I cannot say much about this hotel itself. My husband and I stopped here one day during a visit to Costa Rica. The drive to the lodge was quite difficult in our little rented car. The lodge is very rustic and was not at all "close" to the Rincon del la Vieja National Park as we had... more

We stumbled across this place in a guidebook, and decided to give it a shot after deciding that $200/night was too much for the Hotel Bouquin down the road. We got 3 cabins with 1 queen and 1 twin bed in each, for $38/night. Quite a deal! However, all the new cabins were booked, so we were in the older... more
