Hotel Rincon de la Vieja Lodge

Rooms were dated and dirty. Mattress was hard and there was no ceiling fan as shared on the listing. There was a fan on the wall, not ideal given lack of AC. The sink did not have hot water at all. The tile grout was horribly done in the whole room and bathroom. It just was not a pleasant experience. Wind howled all night long but we had to keep the windows opened because it was hot. Breakfast was good each morning. Staff was friendly. Grounds were great. Just need to update the rooms.

Amazing hotel. Amazing property. Adrian was extremely helpful. Gave great advice. The hike to the waterfall and hot springs was great. Food also fantastic.

Very helping and friendly staff, we enjoyed our stay. Very close to Rincon de la Vieja national park. Downsides: no wifi in the room and bad wall isolation.

Great location and spacious grounds but the place is a bit tired and shabby. Restaurant is OK but not great.

Staff was extremely kind and helpful. Great location to explore Rincon de la vieja with a lower budget. Rustic cottage may gain by having a little fridge. Be careful, area has a lot of ticks.

Our individual cabin was a quaint and quiet place to stay on expansive, landscaped grounds with a pool and pond. There was a trail behind the cabins, which eventually leads to a hot spring. We didn't have time to hike the whole trail but what we did was very nice. Fortunately, there was a restaurant on site, because there was no nearby shopping available. We would have enjoyed having some kitchen facilities in the cabins though. There was plenty of room for a small fridge, cooktop and sink. The lodge is near Rincon de la Vieja National Park so was a very convenient place for us to stay and the staff was helpful and friendly.

This is such a unique and wonderful place BUT not for everyone. Location is perfect if you are visiting Rincon de la vieja. We drove for 40 min on gravel roads with big holes to get here. Its in the middle of nowhere so make sure you have everything you need before you get here. There is one restaurant on site and one bar. Compared to the price of this lodge the restaurant is expensive and does not have a great selection but every one are super nice. We would use the restaurant to access internet since there is no internet in the rooms. This place is beautiful but its very basic. No AC the staff are all super accommodating and want you enjoy and have a great time.

My first impression this hotel was what a beautiful place. The gardens are well kept and the pool looked inviting. However, the word basic comes to mind when you enter your accommodation. There is old paint splashes on the floor. The curtains are flapping about because of the large gaps in the window frames and walls; it's very windy here. No mosquito nets, complimentary water or coffee. The bathroom reminds me of a run down camp site's latrine. The sink moves if you touch it. No toilet roll holder etc. The food in the restaurant is OK and the staff are very friendly and do their best to help. It's worth mentioning, if you don't have your own transport unless you are a walker you are isolated because there is nothing close by.

We stayed for two nights in the TUI Discovery Tour. We were very tired after a long journey and were extremely disappointed with our room which wasn't very clean. The staff were lovely and keen to please so moved us to a slightly cleaner room however all the rooms seem to be in a very poor state of repair and the whole place could do with a major refurbishment. Hot water is intermittent and strength of flow is dependent on where you are. The rooms do not have a safe, hairdryer, fridge, air conditioning or coffee making facilities. The whole area is very basic and as it has a pool I would rate it 2*. On the plus side the staff are very friendly and keen to do their best. Breakfast was adequate with a reasonable choice. The pool is small but adequate and there are walking trails accessible from the hotel.
