Staff was very friendly and generous. The room and the common areas were clean. The pool is very nice. Our trip in costa rica was mostly activities and hikings. We decided to stay at Rinconcito lodge for a relaxing day by the pool, reading, taking casual naps and drinking. And we weren’t disappointed. We would definitely visit again.

Found this place when looking for a hotel between La fortuna and Tamarindo . Then found the hot springs near by as well because of this . The hotel was easy to check into and they even let us check in sooner so we could enjoy hot springs and not worry about our belongings. We got the breakfast which was great.The rooms were clean and comfortable and staff was very friendly . We did have dinner here as well as its good only choice in the area besides the resort at the hot springs . Food was great plenty of choices however the drinks were pretty weak and watered down. Beware the roads in and out of this area have not been maintained and lots holes so give yourself time and take it easy . Was nice to have suv for this reason just to have the clearance . I would still however recommend this property.

We had an amazing time at this tranquil lodge. The entire staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Walter guided us on horseback through a scenic trail on the property and shared his passion for the surrounding flora and fauna. It was truly an unforgettable experience.

This seems like a cool place. But…there is very limited options for food. I had to eat the same thing every day because they were out of everything. Also the tours weren’t really available..or if they were I had to go with a guide who doesn’t speak English. It wasn’t the cleanest either- spiders in the room, ants in the bed and smelled musty and dank. Pretty place tho. I’m sure it’s better during the busy season.

Our stay at Ronconcito
We stayed in 5 different all around Guanacaste and this was without a doubt our favorite place. David, the host was amazing. He provided us with detailed information about Rincon National Park. The dining staff were also excellent. Grounds were beautifully maintained and the horticulturalist on-site told us all about the plantings. They even have cotton trees!

The property is remote and very peaceful. Thw accommodations are simple but clean and spacious. We loved our time there. The restaurant has a small, simple menu that is the same for all mals but the food is fresh and very tasty. Staff are excellent. The property is very well maintained. Lots to see and do in the property and great access to excursions in the vicinity. Helpful and accommodating staff. Very reasonably priced for their food and excursions. We would definitely return.

Nice but ask about if you need 4x4 before booking
This hotel was comfortable, clean and the food in the restaurant was good. Unfortunately, nobody mentioned needing 4x4 to get up to our room. It was fine for us when the road was dry but after it rained and was muddy we couldn't make it up and had to hike it up. Also we were woken at 530am when our neighbour was on a phone call for almost 2 hours. Walls are thin as we could him in the shower too. All of the staff was friendly minus the receptionist who made us feel uncomfortable and really tried to push tours on us. So we didn't hate it and the rooms were nice minus the loud neighbour wake up call and not having enough towels for us and no phone to call to ask for more without walking down the steep hill.

This lodge is ok for someone who likes quiet. Although cold in the morning and nights. You would not want to sit on your balcony at night. There is no kitchenette or coffee machine in the rooms so you are forced to eat at their restaurant. There is a small town reachable by car but the roads are atrosious. The staff was nice, but it was not what was expected.

Staff were quite friendly and accommodating despite our arrival late at night. They said they would leave a key for us in reception, but in the end they were awake and helped us to the room. The walk to our cabin was slightly steep, so if you have a disability I would suggest advising them in advance so they can give you a nearer room. We had specified two queens in the reservation but we were given one king. We did not bother to correct it since our arrival was so late at night, but I suspect they would have been happy to change rooms. Great path on the property for a short hike and view of the volcano. A friendly resident dog showed me all the trails :) Later, I brought my 70 year-old father and it took him about 40 minutes round trip.

This property is a hidden gem in a private forest area near Miravalles Volcano. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, the rooms are standard but comfortable, a little dark inside. It is quiet and peaceful. My kids loved the hammock, which is available for each room. Food is fresh and delicious and, as we have come to know, Costa Rican hospitality is second to none.

Great atmosphere and fantastic food. Staff was amazingly friendly and very accommodating. Pool was refreshing but could use some fixing up. Rooms were spacious and clean with great WiFi connection, but the beds were rather uncomfortable. The views from our room and the great food made up for anything lacking.
