This was a cool spot. Beds are great, bathroom was very dated and toilet had some issues with the water flushing properly but we just jiggled the handle each time and eventually it worked. There was a large group there likely a wedding, so we did the buffet which was just average, then found out it was $27 a plate! The restaurant has better food with better prices. Spa isn’t much of a spa so much as it’s just some plunge pools. Could be so much more. Cool experience but little pricey for what you get.

Very close to the airport and our vacation needs. The breakfast is a traditional meal (beans, fruit, pancake rice, plantain), the lunch/supper area has a variety of selections enough for our 9 day stay. We were disappointed that there are no longer spa staff for any spa services and breakfast is only until 9am. We also lost power to our cabin 2-3 times during our stay. Also please note when you book a “cabin” they have semi cabins that share a thin wall (like a townhouse) which we were not expecting. Staff go above and beyond to help. We loved that there was lack of people and that there were activities on-site. Recommendation for the site, please add “do not disturb” signs to cabins so staff don’t walk-in on guests :)

We loved staying at Canon de La Vieja Lodge for our first few nights in Costa Rica. It was a short distance from the airport and close to the National Park. Lots to explore in the area. The property had many activities to enjoy. Even though the property is popular with tour groups we never felt it was crowded and always found quiet areas to enjoy by ourselves. We greatly appreciated the hot water pools down by the river as well as the main pool with it's swim up bar. Highly recommend this Lodge. Keep in mind it has an eco lodge vibe. There are many animals as well as insects.

Admittedly, we discovered this lodge because our flight from the Liberia airport was unexpectedly cancelled. We had spent a long, awful day at the airport and it was rather late when I booked through Expedia. (The airline had no accommodations planned for travelers. Ufff). I was SO relieved that the staff were willing to stay open late to receive us. They even asked the restaurant staff to stay late so we could all get something to eat before bed. The natural surroundings and nature are beautiful. The breakfast was a perfect Tico breakfast with gallo pinto and huevos. I am so grateful to have had a safe, clean cabin with air-conditioning in which to stay. Would highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay! It was comfortable, rustic and basic needs were met. Nothing fancy. Restaurant was yummy. Free breakfast was good typical Costa Rican food. Many activities available. Spa service, mud baths, horseback riding, rock climbing all available. Nice poolside bar.

Disappointing.

Disappointing experience. Aged facilities, no amenities, bathroom in poor condition. The river side thermal pools, sustainability elements and the breakfast were the reason I am not leaving a 1 star review. Left after just one night and forfeited hundreds of dollars for my remaining reservation.
