The property is well kept, clean, and comfortable. The staff was excellent. The waterfals and hot springs were very enjoyable. My only complaint is that the mattresses are very hard, otherwise, we had a very nice stay and would highly suggest it.

This was the final leg of our trip to Northern West Costa Rica. It was nice to settle down at Hacienda Guachepelin knowing we could just stay put for a bit. The Hotel is right next to the entry to Ricón de la Vieja National Park. It is on extensive grounds and has beautiful views and many activities including tubing, horseback riding, zip-lining, hiking and relaxing in hot springs and waterfalls. We took an easy guided horse back ride to La Oropendola Waterfall which is an impressive 25 meters. We also visited the hot springs, but were less impressed, the pools were somewhat murky and too hot for the day so we did not stay long. We took a short hike to additional waterfalls near the hot springs, which was nice. Breakfast was included in our stay which was good and appreciated. We also had dinner at the main restaurant which was fine. Our hotel room was basic but very comfortable.

The trails are real singletrack mountain biking trails. We went out for 3 hours and barely covered a quarter of the terrain. The waterfalls on the grounds are amazing. The variety of birds was amazing! It's best to have a car here because the best waterfall and the hot springs are a drive away. And the breakfast buffet was phenomenal: omelets made to order, pastries, fresh orange juice, fesh fruit, yogurt, granola, and hot food like fried plantains, stewed chicken, roasted yams etc. And everything is gluten-free - celiac heaven :-)

Hotel Guachipelin is an incredible place. The hotel grounds are absolutely beautiful and so well taken care of. The views from the hotel were amazing. We enjoyed hiking the grounds to see the waterfall that is on the property. We also enjoyed our guided hike of Las Pailas which we booked through the hotel. The staff was so professional, organized, and kind. We wished we had spent more time here.

Beautiful huge property, modern clean rooms, good restaurants and fantastic activities (we did canyoning, rafting, canopying: this is actually thru a river canyon, incredibly beautiful, hot baths). The highest quality activities we have experienced on our many trips. Also close to national park Rincon de la Vieja, for great hiking. Can't say enough good things.
