Hacienda Santa Maria Hotels

"Breakfast every morning was excellent. The staff was always very helpful and it’s a great location if you want to explore the beaches or Central Liberia."

"Great place to visit for a weekend. Well maintained and the on-site restaurants had great variety. The waterfalls/ hot springs and all of the adventure tours were the star of the show."

"This no frills hotel is located inside a city block difficult to see from the street. A/C was nice! It was all I needed for an afternoon/evening in town before an early morning flight with lots of restaurant options nearby and a grocery store & pharmacy a few blocks away. An Uber was there 1 minute after request at 4;30am."

"Great stop for an early morning flight. Pool is gorgeous with a waterslide! Yummy dinner—left too early to have breakfast. Front desk arranged a cab for us. Looks a little rough on the outside but it’s a true oasis! Def recommend "

"Hotel works for how much it charges and good for overnight stay near the airport. Very convenient. "

"It is hard to express truly how exceptional this place is. What makes it so special is the incredible customer service that all staff on the ranch provided. The owner, Jorge, is a constant presence who continually went out of his way to ensure that my family of 4 with two children (ages 8 and 11) maximized our experience. We were able to chat with him several times. In those talks, we learned about Costa Rica in general as well as the more local region surrounding the ranch. He provided suggestions for places to eat while in Monteverde which turned out to be 10/10. Given the remote area, it is best to eat breakfast and lunch at the ranch. The food is prepared specifically for you. Jorge will message you asking what you would like from the menu and it is made with care from the wonderful staff that work there, who are locals from the surrounding small towns. One of them even took the time to make a large grass cricket as a souvenir. The ranch includes an extensive trail network for hiking or running which have numerous great lookouts overlooking the rolling hills of the area and volcanoes in the distant. Also there is a swimming pool with a very fun - and fast - water slide. The hot tub and numerous hammocks were also well utilized. Our family utilized the horseback riding that the ranch offers which was a fantastic experience. The horses are well looked after and are essentially free range across the vast ranch, sometimes walking up to your door. 10/10 location! "

"Everything was great… the rooms, food, pool, property and the staff were so friendly and helpful. This is a beautiful resort… a hidden gem for sure"

"This property is huge and beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice. Way better in person "

"Friendly staff, clean hotel in a quiet location. Short drive from town if you want some liveliness or stay on premises for a tranquil oasis"
