I got stuck at the Liberia airport and all the smaller hotels around were booked. Thank goodness the airport had Internet and I found this little gem. I got a cab which cost about $65 American and headed out there. Had a nice comfy little cottage but don’t expect a western chain hotel experience it’s more like going to summer camp. But it was super adventurous and fun. The people were warm and hospitable, and it was wonderful to be so close to nature. Next time I’ll consider this place and enjoy more of the adventure amenities like zip lining and horseback riding. I really did enjoy the mud bath and the natural geothermal pools they had. There also was a very lively pool with some bartenders who were making some outstanding cocktails. I got this virgin passionfruit drink that was just outstanding.

This is a nice place close to Liberia airport. We've stayed here twice. We wish the cabins had a refrigerator, and a microwave. Sadly, the last morning, while sitting on the front porch, we were attacked by a swarm of black wasps, very painful -not sure if the hotel controls them or not. Overall, we like this place and may stay again next year.

We stayed at this resort by chance for one night due to starting our vacation early because of winter weather in the states. I prefer more authentic Costa Rican hotels/resorts vs a chain hotel close to the airport. While the taxi ride was more expensive, I felt it was worth it. It seemed secluded, was quiet, the rooms were extremely clean, there were thermal pools as well as a nice pool area and the included breakfast was definitely a plus! The drinks were delicious and reasonably priced! We had the pleasure of talking with Julian, who was a joy. I always love to learn about different cultures and people from other countries. Would highly recommend this place if you're considering this area. I would love to go back and spend a little more time in this area. My only suggestion is to add a golf cart or something to take people and their luggages to their room. We were at the very back of the resort and it was a bit of a walk with our luggage. All in all a great stay!

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!

Our stay at Canon de la Vieja was...weird.
The reception desk did check us in efficiently and shared some pertinent details about the property. But what staff failed to share was also rather important, e.g. where our room was (they showed us on the map but then we were left on our own to figure out a rather circuitous arrangement of cabins) and how to unlock the surprisingly tricky (and backwards!) lock on the cabin door. It was only our luck that there was a staff member outside the cabin next to us who let us in - didn't say a word, by the way, just opened it and left. We then entered a very simple, underwhelming room inclusive of many, many bugs and paper thin walls.
Lastly, as we entered the restaurant for dinner we were ushered in to a different place and then left awkwardly standing next to a pool bar. We were not greeted and were left to our assumptions. Eventually, our server was lovely and the food was, well it was ok.
This was our last stop on our trip through Costa Rica and my husband and I were only staying one night to be closer to the airport in Liberia for our next morning flight out. Let's just say that I'm glad we weren't planning on staying any longer.
I would've been more accepting of the rustic facilities if there had been a little more hospitality involved.

The property was a very typical Costa Rican Lodge. Beautiful location along a very nice river, off the beaten track away from loud city noise. The convenience of offering rafting, tubing, zip lining rappelling, spa service etc all in one place is very nice. It is reasonably priced for activities and the restaurant is very good. A nice buffet breakfast is included. Nice swim up bar and pool are. Service was prompt.

As I stated earlier, the lodge was typical and can use a little updating. It had old school louvered windows and half of them had broken handles to open and close them which made it difficult for the A/C to be of optimum performance. Our entrance door dragged a little on the floor about halfway open, but a little lifting and it opened fully. If would be nice to have a mini fridge in the rooms. Hot water worked well! Overall, I really liked the place though. Staff was very friendly and the grounds were very pretty. I will be back with the kids next time to enjoy the activities offered.

At first I thought it had a bit of a weird vibe, because it clearly caters to big groups, but this was actually a bonus because the groups don’t stick around during the day, which means we had the pool area all to ourselves. The pool area was really nice. The restaurant had a pretty basic menu, and the food was ok, not great, but well priced. Rooms were also basic, but clean and met all our needs. We stayed three nights and did the La Leona Waterfall tour in Curubande and walked at the Rincon de la Vieja National Park. With a car, the lodge was well located for this. Also very close to Liberia and the airport, but still felt rural, out of the way, quiet. The grounds were also nice, treed. Zip lining at the lodge looked fun.

With two different flight departure times for our group of four adults and four kids, this beautiful property was the perfect spot close (30 minutes) to the airport. The Costa Rican lodge-type cabins, thermal soaking pools, swimming hole, pool, and breakfast buffet made it an extra treat for the kids rather than a boring hotel overnight.

The property was in a great location, rooms comfortable, and food and staff at restaurant was excellent.

The bad part is the front desk staff are very shady. They accept cash or credit card. We even called and asked to be sure, But on arrival the guy wanted us to pay cash. We said we’ll pay with the card since it’s accepted, but he protested profusely, and said he would knock off $20 if we paid cash but he refused to give a receipt until we checked out.

So we did, 2 days later when we were ready to check out, the lady at the front desk accused us of not paying and was very RUDE!!!!


Later we went back to finish the check out. The guy was there again and said the women was crazy and he said we are ok. But still refusing to give a receipt. Finally he agreed, but the rest said we still owed the money. He wrote on it , canceled. I said thats not enough and finally got a correct receipt with $0 balance. Extremely frustrating and crooked.

We were looking for a place close to the Liberia airport that still felt like Costa Rica for our last night because we had an early flight the next morning. This hotel was a lovely option. It was pretty rustic after our time in an all inclusive at the beach but it was clean and tidy and it felt like a little cabin in the jungle! The pool, poolbar, river and hot springs were great. It was the rainy season and we were only 2 tables at dinner, so we had the place to ourselves! The property is pretty big and we did not see 1/2 of it but the check in was pretty early and we got time to see the parts we wanted. Spa was closed. Covid has cancelled their mud baths and massages for a while longer. Dinner was good. Service was great. It is about 25 mins from airport, out in one of the national parks near Liberia. It was very quiet and out of the way. Felt more 'Costa Rica' than a Hyatt across the road from the Airport, but it depends on what you are looking for, right?

This was my third time staying here. I love to stay here the day I fly into LIR (or the day before I fly out). It is quiet (even with a tour bus filled with guests!! Filling up the place) and clean and gives me a necessary tranquility in these traveling days that allows me to transition from the hustle and bustle of traveling to the pace of a PuraVida life and back again in a gentle way. (The first time I stayed here, the brochure in the room was helpful to me in understanding the history and how to show respect for this country and it’s people). The Colorado River calls to me and is so well preserved and displayed here. You don’t want to miss it! There are many options for activities, good food and enjoying the natural beauty of Costa Rica as well so you can get a last minute kayak, spa or zip line in before heading to the airport which is only 20 minutes away. Love, love love 💗 this place and the people who keep it working. I was sad to see the one Restaurant by the river was closed this time. The Guanacaste tables and chairs are majestic and the views are amazing. This space would make a great place for a special reception or family reunión event.

It's a nice quiet place, the Howler Monkeys woke us up a couple mornings, but it was pretty cool. We had the crystal clear pool to ourselves and the Hot Springs and river swimming was a lot of fun. Really affordable, at first I was disappointed we couldn't get reservation at Adventure Park down the road, but if I had to do it all over again, I would stay at the Canon, kids and wife loved it

It was a basic room that was very clean. The property itself was very beautiful, and the meals were fresh and delicious. I could not have asked for a better visit, everything was wonderful.

Hotel is rustic with duplex one floor cabins. Air conditioning does not work in all rooms, we had two rooms, one worked the other did not. Bathrooms were tiled, fixture old and mineral-blocked. Ant and spiders abundant in bath. Towels were hard. Beds were hard and old, furniture was cheap and old, windows and shelves were dusty, blinds were broken. Lighting was dim and bugs in room as well as geckos. Breakfast was ok but Gallo pinto was bland. Pancakes were small and only two. Coffee was good but they only had low-fat milk. Restaurant for breakfast was covered open-air and overlooked beautiful canyon/river/forest. At 10 am zip liners scream by. Grounds were beautiful but needed more weeding and ground cover (a little dusty). Large trees provide shade and birds/butterflies. Swimming pool beautiful. Lunch and dinner menu in pool restaurant was very limited and food was just ok. No free bottled water, no in-room refrigerator. Felt a little better than camping, my mother wouldn’t be happy here.

Can’t wait to come back here! This place exceeded our expectations. We loved the jungle bungalow-type rooms, and your stay includes access to the pool (love the waterfalls into it!), the hot and cool spring pools at the spa along the river, delicious breakfast, and there’s a hanging bridge over the river to explore. There are many additional adventure options you can pay in addition for. We just left and stayed here beginning of May. It rained hard at night but we enjoyed the hot spring while it rained. Cañon de la Viejas is magical!

Rustic lodge in the jungle

The lodge is in a great location located on a beautiful river and they offer many options for fun. The staff are super nice and quick to respond to your needs. The location is in the national park, I would highly recommend for families as they offer so much to keep the kiddos busy. I would recommend a rental car, it is a $60 taxi from the airport one way. We stayed two nights which was the perfect amount of time to enjoy the lodge.

Wonderful stay! Park-like grounds much more extensive than we expected and the staff and guides all very kind and solicitous. Our detached bungalow was totally private, I think much better than attached \"duplex\" style ones, but all are charming, even if simple and a bit rustic. Everything tiled, strong AC, only trickle of hot water but it was hot enough that we didn't bother to ask to have it looked at. They let us split the combo tour over 2 days which was a big plus - tubing and zip lining both excellent with good guides and not rushed at all. the rappel/climb very short (one pitch and guide hurried the climb up) but still cool. \"Spa\" mud treatment kind of worthless as other reviews said. Restaurant surprisingly good, very tasty fish and ceviche. Best of all was seeing howler monkeys on the property. Overall a great value and amazing to find such a different world only 20 minutes from Liberia. Highly recommend.

Beautiful area! Perfect place to spend time with family, bring your energy to do lots of exercices. You can bike swin in the pool or in the river and do other water sports.
The windows do not have mosquito screens. So bring repelent.

Beautiful pool and river area, room to spread out. Had to book time for breakfast and they wouldn’t serve me after that time.

The pool area was very nice and the property is full of Howler Monkeys and all sorts of birds. We had plumbing issues and A/C issues and the electricity went out one evening. The facilities are pretty run down. It is in a good location, easy drive to Liberia for dining and about an hour to the Nicaragua border... lots of hiking and beaching in between.

Awesome place

Beautiful place! Great food! Comfortable and safe! Staff are social distancing and wearing masks. We were treated amazing and would highly recommend it here. Close to Liberia but far enough to need a car. Great onsite activities too.

The property was clean and well kept. The pool was beautiful. Staff was friendly. No refrigerator in the room which was our only complaint.
Food was good in the restaurant. Great Place!

Although a bit out of the way, relative to the Liberia airport, the property offers outstanding and varied recreational opportunities. I regard it as an excellent value considering a breakfast buffet is included. Staff were friendly and accommodating, going so far as to remember my name.
Some of the damaged roadway and sidewalks inside the resort are in need of repair.
