    Nothing to dislike but the roads aren’t great. But that gives you quiet and isolation. It’s worth it

    Rincón Verde was possibly one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever stayed in. The gardens that surround the cabins are beautiful and full of birds. Everyday you are woken by the song of dozens of birds and you fall asleep to the calls of the frogs. It’s a little bit of paradise. The hosts, Victor and Lizabet are wonderfully welcoming and the breakfasts are delicious. The cabins are quiet, comfortable and spotlessly clean.

    Very friendly staff. The property is very beautiful, away from the touristy area so you get to relax. And you get to see plenty of animals, birds mostly, passing by. You can also try out the chocolate they produce!

    be aware you cannot pay with card and there is no restaurant for dinner (however the hosts are very helpful advising you for a restaurant and preparing a small snack).

    There were no tea and coffee making facilities but this did not detract from my stay.

    This is a fantastic location to stay at, very peaceful set in beautiful grounds that are well maintained. The flora and fauna are second to none of like myself you are into birdwatching and photography this is a must stay location. The hosts are very friendly and extremely helpful.

    Beds not the most comfortable.

    This is the most fabulous place to stay. We visited 6 years ago and loved it, didn't disappoint on the second occasion.Victor and his wife are such good hosts,. The place is out of the way but worth the drive. Its so beautiful and peaceful and a great place to chill. The accommodation is good. We ate there on the two nights and lovely food and service.

    Cold water in the shower. The road on one side leading to the hotel is definitely a 4x4 road (as noted by the hotel a 4x4 is recommended)

    Friendly staff (although no English was very patient with our lack of Spanish), quiet location, cute room with everything required.

    great location in middle of nature; very clean cabins in a beautiful garden with ponds in front; lots of birds and frogs on daily display. Victor, the host is very helpful and friendly, his wife cooks very good dinners upon request so you don't have to look for restaurants in the evening. Victor is even building a small swimming pool to even improve the premises. Upon Victors suggestion we visited Canu Negra, a beautiful nature resort with lagune with an incredible amount of birds and gators. Also close to the Volcano with its fantastic waterfall

    Googlemaps sends you on truly the worst roads possible - but our host was able to direct us to the super easy road that goes directly to the main road into Bijagua. This is not a problem with the sweet cabinas or the owner, it's a problem with relying on Googlemaps, so offering driving directions that can be printed before we arrive would be handy.

    We absolutely loved the quiet setting with the three private cabinas edging the four ponds. The birdlife was wonderful to wake up to and to end the day with. Our hosts were friendly and the shared space was just perfect for breakfast and dinner.

    A wifi booster would be good so that the signal reaches the cabins, other than that I have nothing negative to say.

    The property is beautifully kept and the surroundings are peaceful. Many species of birds, including toucans, can be spotted on the grounds, as well as iguanas. Sra. Lizbeth cooks delicious food, and the breakfast was hearty enough to keep us sustained for our 7 km hike through Parque Nacional Volcan Tenorio! Sr. Victor is a gracious host and a good source of knowledge about the area (if you speak Spanish). The cabins are comfortable and are equipped with a little fridge, which is a nice touch. NOTE: do not use Google Maps directions to reach the property, it will take you on a teeth-clenching, potentially rental car destroying ride over a very bumpy, rocky road. Instead, keep going north on Highway 6 after Bijagua, past the gas station and turn right after the El Mirador restaurant. This road is smooth and well graded all the way to Rincon Verde.

    Others have mentioned the road. it didn’t bother me at all but I drove a 4WD. if you drive in from Bijagua it’s just a normal gravel road you can drive in any car. The road is only bad coming from Rio Celeste. So drive through Bijagua you’ll be totally fine. Its well worth the visit !

    The gardens and setting are just gorgeous. The cabins are rustic and private and peaceful. Perfect destination for something out of the ordinary.
