Family Hotels & Resorts in Guayabo from NZ$84

"This hotel is in need of a great deal of rehab! The whole place is pretty shabby and the rooms are not equipped well for technology or electrical needs. The outlets are falling out of the walls and there are very few and none in the bathrooms. The bathrooms are very old and in need of total rehab as well. The pool areas are nice but no towels are provided, the pool chairs are not in good condition and many of them are full of bird poop. The breakfast served was decent. The restaurant service and food was good. The one highlight and very positive was the front desk staff and particularly "Rosey" she was very helpful in getting us transportation to the National Park and to the airport. She was so nice and great smile! I would not recommend this hotel."

"We were promised boxed breakfast for the early departure and never got it. Our room for 4 people had 1 cup, 2 glasses and 3 towels total."

"The food is very fresh and they take great pride in quality ingredients in their food and drinks. Each is a masterpiece both is taste and presentation! The staff are all amazing and the property is very clean, except for the pools which gather leaves from the trees above, but I appreciate it’s impossible to avoid. The tubing and zipline are a must try offered on the property and the guided walk and yoga beautiful experience. The thermal river is unbelievably beautiful and warm like a hot tub and clear to the bottom. You have to experience it to believe it. Lots of walking and steps but all worth it! Nothing but relaxation and beauty at this resort. The rooms are very functional and private and it was amazing seeing monkeys and birds everywhere. I would stay here again!"

"This place was solid. Food, staff and activities are all perfect for the family. Please note: the food is expensive. The least expensive options are down at the hot springs. "

"This would be a great stop for a luxury stay over a few days but wasn't worth the cost or distance for a single night stay. The sites of interest are spread out over quite a distance and it's not practical to fit in a visit to more than one of them between check-in and Costa Rica's early sundown. The rooms themselves are nice but not special, the cost/value proposition is really about what sites/activities are included and how easy they make it to book tours on the Hacienda grounds. The food was great but a meal of typical "casados" (the most economical option) ran our family of four $100 CAD. The grounds are beautiful and I would recommend the hacienda to those looking for an all-inclusive, but not a short stay."

"We had a comfy night's stay at Las Espuelas! Good beds, solid shower, tasty breakfast, easy parking, and the folks working were incredibly friendly and helpful. "

"Beautiful resort, friendly staff, amazing activities- we even saw a sloth on the property! We had a wonderful time!"

"The pool at Borinquen is surrounded by trees and is set kind of in a valley and in the afternoons between 3-5 you could start to see the branches moving on the trees and all of a sudden, you would start to see monkeys swinging from branch to branch. Mama monkeys carrying their baby monkeys, monkeys "fighting", eating, just going about their day. It was absolutely amazing. That was when the spider monkeys came out. If the howler monkeys were there you would hear them coming up the valley around that time and then start seeing them, but they weren't as obvious visually. Either way it was an experience and was so magical. Our teenage kids said it was their best vacation ever. We loved it at Borinquen. Their zipline tour was also very fun! All around a great stay! Worth every penny. FYI - very remote and limited on food so just a few days/nights is a perfect amount of time spent there. "

" A long and bumpy ride up to the lodge. As soon as you check in they force you to pay for breakfast as you are disoriented and tired from the ride. You are told you are not allowed to decide in the morning if you are even hungry. Paid for two for breakfast. In the morning only one could eat breakfast because the other was sick. Asked for a refund for the one, two weeks later never received it compensation. Also Couldn’t even open my balcony door because the outside smell of sewage. Paper thin walls where you could hear everything next door…Too bad as place has potential. "
