Buena Vista Lodge was lovely! Cleanliness exceeded expectations, property very well marked so easy to navigate. Great pool for the kids and lots of options for activities. Plus really nice to have the hot springs included. Wish there was a way to include gratuities for the activities on the room charge as we didn't always have cash on us to tip at the moment of the activity (especially since we were already staying on site).

We have been to Rincon before -- Hacienda GUachapelin. That was a far superior place to Buena Vista Lodge. the food was mediocre, the hot springs were far away and there were terrible mosquitos and 45 mph wind storms for all 3 days. Staff there said these conditions are common at this time of year. We would not go back there.

Inconsistent quality of staff at Dining Room for dinner. All very nice, but varied level of competency.
