Rivas Hotel Guide - Hotels with Spa in Rivas, San José Province

"Absolute treat! It was the highlight of my 2 weeks in Costa Rica. Watching the rainstorm from the comfort of my bed gave my jetlagged night a whole new definition. Loved it. And the spa was truly delightful...and I hardly use that word to describe things. :)"

"This is a lovely property. I had been there several years ago and loved it, but it's been refreshed and updated since then and is now even better. It's an eco-lodge with relatively plain but delightful, soulful rooms, a great restaurant, and. . utterly surrounded by nature at its best. Not pretentious, but quietly luxurious. "

"Amazing stay!"

"Beautiful setting. Nature. Nature tours. Wonderful experience."

"This was my absolute favorite place my kids and I visited in 12 days in Costa Rica total. The staff and grounds were phenomenal. We want to go back- not just to Costa Rica, but also specifically to this property that just… felt like home to the hearts."

"The location of the property is beautiful, set back from the road and elevated for a great view of the Pacific. We particularly enjoyed the Happy Hour each day at 5:00 to enjoy the fabulous sunsets. The pool, the colorful plants, the toucans, tanagers, orapendulas and numerous other birds added so much to our visit. The staff was so accommodating and friendly. Our 5 days spent at Cristal Ballena were top notch!"
