Magical Experience - This was such a magical day!! I was met with some of the most genuine and friendliest people I have ever met. I loved learning about the history with Jose and Sandra, they were so sweet and I enjoyed trying all the sweet treats with them! The hot springs and the waterfall were so rejuvenating and I had such a peaceful time as I was the only one down there for most of the day! Fonzo and the rest of the staff were so accommodating and welcoming!! I seriously cannot recommend this experience more and will definitely be returning in the future!! I cannot wait to come back!!! Thank you all for such a beautiful and magical day!! ❤️

Absolutely phenomenal! - The day my daughter, her best friend, best friend's mom, and I spent as Vandara was the highlight of our 5 days in Costa Rica. We signed up for the Nature pass and had such an incredibly relaxing time. The hot springs pools were beautiful, we had fun with the mud treatment and rinsing off in the river, the hike was gorgeous, we saw a toucan and so many monkeys, and our lunch was DELICIOUS. The best part, though, was the cultural experience. Jose 's love of his country came through so beautifully, and we enjoyed learning so much about Costa Rica's rich agriculture, history, culture, and the issues it faces today. We met the majestic Carmelo (the cutest 2,000 pound ox I have ever met), and I will never look at (or taste) a cup of coffee the same way again! Perhaps people who leave negative reviews are expecting everywhere they go to be like Disney World. This is a nature preserve where every little thing can't be controlled and made perfect. The most important things--such as the cleanliness of the facilities, kindness of staff, quality of food, and the freedom to explore--met and sometimes even exceeded our expectations. Don't miss Vandara when you visit the magical land of Costa Rica!

Amazing day trip on Costa Rica! - A great day long adventure! The zip line guides, with Rodrigo leading were professional and made sure everyone was safe and having a good time. The lunch was excellent. The staff couldn't have been nicer. The hot springs were amazing! Overall, well worth spending a day there!

Relaxing - It was relaxing but there was too much down time. It would have been nice if there was a massage, etc included. Something additional would have nice.

Líes!!! - The pictures they showed us at the RIU PALACE of this place looked so beautiful. When we arrived there we were very disappointed!!! Waterfall had very little water, hot springs and mud bath were just ok. The tour guides, the bartender and all the staff were very amazing!! The lunch that was provided was delicious!
