I stayed here for 2 nights with an OAT tour group. I really liked the ambiance of the grounds and the bungalows - very organic and natural. It was nice to see the horses and the view from the Sunset Bar was well-worth the walk (uphill going but downhill coming back - which was very fortuitous as the drinks were... More

when we first arrived, I said to myself, "uh-oh", because it had the feel and look of an aging summer camp. but then slowly, buena vista lodge started to grow on us. first, with cocktail hour at the sunset bar, then with a very decent buffet organic dinner. then the next day was amazing - a 400 meter waterslide through...

We didn't stay over night here but instead spent the day on the ziplines, horseback down to the spa, and the waterside. The slide is not for the faint of heart...very exciting. Zip lines were fun and the staff running it was incredible. Awesome way to spend the day.

We spent four days here and were very pleased. The setting and staff were lovely. The location is somewhat remote and once you are there you don't feel like driving off anywhere else. But there was plenty to do: zip line, hot springs w/ mud bath , horseback riding, water slide, pool, some walking trails, and of course the evening... More

We were with a tour, so choice of lodging was picked for us. This place was fun. A short walk on a paved path gets you up a hill to the sunset bar. Very well named. You can sit, sip a drink of your choice, and watch the sun set over the pacific. You can only get a glimpse of... More

We stayed a few days at this place and experienced things beyond our imagination. A tour we booked was supposed to bring us by hoseback to the 3 waterfalls and further to the hotsprings and mudbad. However, by the third waterfall my wife slipped on the short walking trail and broke her right leg on several places. From that moment... More

Great to stay here instead of making a day trip. Quiet and beautiful sunset. They say Sat and Sun are quiet. I wish they had some sort of package-deal with the slide and zip-lining or discounts if you were staying. Also wish that they could have given us a cot so that our family of 5 (three young kids) could... More

We had a great time at Buena Vista Lodge. We had a large group with 4 adults and 8 kids as young as 18mos. It was an easy way to sample a number of activities in one place. It was great to have options of how to experience the sites; horseback for older kids and tractor for younger, zipline for... More
