Adventure Park & Hotel Vista Golfo

We have just spent 6 days at this hotel, and this was our second visit. If you are looking for the opportunity to connect with nature, this is the perfect spot. Their location is on the side of a mountain that overlooks the Nicoya peninsula and gulf, and offers great views of the sunset everyday, at an altitude of 700 meters. The resort is owned and operated by a German family. They are the most gracious hosts you can find, and they have a great team helping them run the hotel. They are extremely helpful and always willing to accommodate your requests. Facilities are not fancy, but they are comfortable, kept in good condition and their location is perfect for many different kinds of outdoor activities. During this last visit, we did the waterfalls tour which includes doing 25 different cable runs (canopy zip lines) and going over 11 waterfalls. A truly unique experience. The layout of the cables is perfect, going right through the forest. The longest run in this tour is about 400 meters. Another activity we did during our visit was the Superman flight. Also, a great experience. You fly over a forested area and in-between trees on a cable that is about 900 meters long. Highly recommended. The resort offers several other options for outdoor activities which you can customize to your liking, and the hotel team is also very helpful in organizing other tours outside of the resort, like a visit to the local beaches or a tour to Tortuga island or to a Cloud Forest located in one of the local preserves. Overall, this is a great place if you want to spend time in touch with nature and if you enjoy doing outdoor activities.

Beautiful setting but needs maintenance Beautiful views, great birding and you can sit outside and watch the beautiful sunset from the deck. Need bug spray if you sit out in the evening for long. Lots of hot water and good pressure in the shower. No fridge in the room and just generally a bit run down. Lots of dead bugs in both ceiling lights and the room smells musty. Beds were quite comfortable and air conditioning worked well. It is 12km after you turn off the main road. The road is paved but extremely curvy with many potholes but awesome views.

I have traveled for 40 years and I have to say this was the worst room I have ever stayed in. It smelled like strong mold the minute you walked in, the bed was folded in half and left for a very long time because the was a very deep in-dent across the whole mattress. You could not sleep in it. The shower head was attached to the wall with a nail and a zip tie on the side of the shower, unbelievable! I can't make this stuff up. The manager came to the room because the TV didn't work, he couldn't fix it, we showed him the mattress and he just said "hummm I guess we need a new mattress" They never offered to discount the room, reimburse the room, nothing. If I could give them a -0 I would. Look somewhere else!!

Needs renovation

It is up a steep hill to get to the hotel. The view from lobby/restaurant is beautiful! The room is yes dated and a little small but it was fine. The internet was spotty which was the only downfall when it rained a lot. Food was good
