Hacienda Las Vainillas Boutique Hotel

Pros: Great property with great owners, exceptional experience

Pros: We recently had the pleasure of staying at hacienda las vainillas, and I must say, the standards of cleanliness and attention to detail were truly exceptional. Every corner of the hotel was immaculately maintained, creating an atmosphere of absolute perfection. While we greatly appreciate the care and professionalism that went into every aspect of the stay, I did find that the environment, though flawless, felt a little too controlled and structured for my personal taste. It almost lacked the warm spontaneity that makes a place feel vibrant and alive. That said, for those who value impeccable order, pristine surroundings, and a peaceful, predictably serene experience, Hacienda will undoubtedly exceed expectations.

I loved it. Everything was cool.

Pros: A new small property just with 5 rooms. Very familiar, the owners and the personal are super kind. Good rooms, beautiful nature, tasty food. The best place to have a rest after an adventureful trip to Costa Rica.

Surrounded by nature, energizing, excellent owners

Pros: The Hacienda is in a magical place - one can feel the positive energy there already when entering the estate. It is tastefully designed, spacious rooms. Excellent views towards the mountains. Home made meals. Beautiful garden - the best chance to spot hummingbirds. We visited the vanilla farm with the owner. We also did some of the hikes in the property - pristine nature , waterfalls , no other tourists. We loved it all!

Cons: We had to live … we stayed for 3 nights, but we’d happily stayed 5 . It is a great place to recharge and feel close to nature

We LOVED our stay here

Pros: his place is truly heaven on earth. We loved our stay so much! The owners are extremely caring, attentive to every detail, and very welcoming. The property is beautiful—photos don’t do it justice. We saw so many birds, frogs, and even enjoyed the company of their wonderful dog, Perita. We also did the vanilla tour and absolutely loved it! We learned so much about how vanilla is grown and the different types available. Our stay was fantastic, and the food was the best we had in Costa Rica—absolutely delicious. Initially, I had some hesitations because the hotel seemed to be located in the middle of nowhere, but don’t let that stop you. We actually enjoyed the drive to the hotel. The road is a bit bumpy, but that just added to the adventure, and we loved it!

It's a gem of a place. Highly recommended!

Pros: Breakfast and dinner were fresh and delicious. Every detail, from architecture to hospitality is beautifully arranged. You're nestled in the mountains and the views are wonderful. The pool is excellent. We loved the fascinating tour of the vanilla plantation and the strenuous but totally rewarding walk to the waterfall.

Cons: Please be aware that arriving from the Pacific coast, you'll need 4 wheel drive to reach the Hacienda for the last several miles.

Magical. Beautiful setting with magnificent views

Pros: Magical. Beautiful setting with magnificent views. The owners went out of their way to make sure we felt at home and showed us around this amazing hotel they had built. We only stayed a night but with more time you can explore the many trails and waterfalls on their estate. The road to the hotel was unmade but that was no problem, just slow.

Beautiful stay that really rounded off our trip along the pacific coast - worth a detour!

Pros: Beautiful beautiful hotel that invites guests to submerse in the beautiful jungle of costa rica and enjoy stunning views of the hills. I can highly recommend this for couples, singles as well as families. Our host was key in making our experience so beautiful.

Cons: No mosquito nets around the beds, which ended up being ok as there aren't many mosquitos but this might be something that may be added. I personally expected a little bit more of the culinary experience but this didn't stop us from having the best time.

Pros: A truly magical experience to stay at Hacienda Las Vainillas! Extremely peaceful, amazing views and wonderful rooms and facilities. Frederique and Phillippe are very kind hosts, cooking wonderful meals and arranging trips into the forest to swim in waterfalls on their land. On my top 3 list of best accommodation experiences during 30 years of travelling.

Cons: Nothing could have been better! The only \

It is a wonderful place! Calm,absolutely quiet just nature sounds,very beautiful, breathtaking view!

Pros: This place is like a paradise on the top of the mountain! We enjoyed beautiful view of the rain forest while recovering from the hustle and bustle of life! The building is well build and rooms have high quality furniture. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious. Sparkling clean. Frederique serves exceptional food of various cuisines along with delicious french deserts!!! Frederique and Phillipe are amazing hosts. Tour of the property was exiting and educational. We observed how vanilla, cocoa, coffee are cultivated. We were impressed by the large variety of rare orchids. In the forest you can swim under a waterfall. We had great time bird watching just from the terrace. We will definitely try to visit again!
