Hotel Hacienda Guachipelín

Hacienda Guachipelin sits in the sunny Guanacaste region at the foot of the active Rincón de la Vieja volcano, surrounded by a dry tropical forest and scenic landscapes. The hotel is an authentic, traditional cattle ranch and an eco-adventure resort, where rustic charm meets comfort and unforgettable encounters with nature.

The hotel offers 81 rooms across various categories, all equipped with modern amenities such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a small terrace with views of the surrounding landscape.

Hacienda Guachipelin also offers several inviting places to eat, giving you plenty of opportunities to enjoy both local specialities and international dishes during your stay. In the hotel’s main restaurant, La Hacienda, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in a relaxed setting with a focus on Costa Rican flavours. You can also visit Rincon del Café by the pool area, where coffee, snacks, and light bites are available throughout the day.

In the evening, you can enjoy an atmospheric dinner at Nekajui Garden, which sits within the hotel’s lush gardens and creates a truly special setting. In addition, the Canopy Bar & Terrace is the ideal spot to unwind with a drink or a light bite after a day full of adventures.

The hotel has its own activity centre where, for an extra charge, you can book thrilling experiences such as zip-lining over rivers and gorges, canyoning with abseiling and climbing, mountain biking, horse riding, white-water tubing on the Rio Negro, and hikes to waterfalls. You can also treat yourself to natural hot springs and mud baths shaped by the area’s volcanic activity.
Hacienda Guachipelin is therefore a popular spot for day-trippers, thanks to the wealth of activities in the area.

That said, the hotel is also a wonderful place to unwind. Relax by the outdoor pool or, for an additional fee, make use of the spa facilities with mud wraps and wellness experiences such as yoga and mindfulness sessions in the heart of the forest.

Its location close to the National Park also offers excellent opportunities to spot birdlife, monkeys, and other wildlife – even along the trails around the hotel.

Hacienda Guachipelin places a strong emphasis on sustainability and is certified at an elite level under Costa Rica’s Certification for Sustainable Tourism (CST) programme. The hotel is actively involved in conservation, reforestation, and preserving the area’s biodiversity. It also prioritises responsible operations with energy-saving solutions, waste sorting, and the use of local produce from its own grounds and neighbouring suppliers. At the same time, the hotel supports the local community through partnerships with local businesses and social initiatives.
