“Outstanding view from the most classy and stylish guest house ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

There are no words to describe this amazing combination of scenery-location and personalized, top class service. For sure the owners do it out of hobby, because this involvement is rarely seen in the hotel business. The Hacienda is a collection of antiquities of spanish style & French province style, full of travel, cooking and house & gardening books EVERYwhere. Although Turrialba is a place with great interest from volcano/activities point of view, it is just enough to relax on the beautiful veranda and gardens to enjoy life.
Only minor disadvantage, this place is not very suitable for young kids (they may find it boring), but by booking a tour in the area, this can be overcome.
Final hint - The hammingbirds are ALIVE and singing !Enjoy !

Room Tip: Bere and Jicotea have an excellent front view to the lake.

“WOW”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 29, 2012

WOW, this is a great place to visit. You arrive with the car and you find nothing so special. You enter it and first of all they make you feel welcome from the bottom of their hart.
Few steps further you experience a fantastic view into the valley. Comfortable interiors and a very friendly service again. The coffee and sandwich served by the owner himself free of Charge.
In the evening the most romantic dinner on a terrace that beat just about everything. ( don’t go for the food ), it’s good but that is not what it is all about.

If God intense to reward me for something, he will send me to Hacienda Tayutic

“An adventurous place to go”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

A great place to visit if you like all the adrenaline sports combined with quiet and relaxing stay during your free time in the hotel, they have the most exciting activities to do like white water rafting, canyoning or rappelling, ziplining, horseback riding, volcano hiking and so much more that you will want to stay quite more time than what you thought!!!..and then the hotel has just the most comfortable and quiet areas to rest after all those challenging activities that you enjoyed earlier in the day. The excellent staff brought us everything we needed and was always there for us!! The food in the hotel had amazing flavor and was really a costarrican typical style made by local women!! Thanks to all the wonderful people from Hacienda Tayutic for the great time we had in our stay there!!!

“Beautiful views in the clouds”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

This was a unique experience in a magnificent setting. Our room was off the main dining area and had a balcony over looking the valley, the same view as from the dining room. It was beautiful to wake up each morning and look out. This is a very tranquil place with no TVs. You can hear everything outside your room, and there are no blackout shades so expect to rise early, but it is a very relaxing environment. The staff is very nice and helpful with planning trips, etc. The food was excellent and we had all meals there. It was excellent Costa Rican fare. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed all the meals. It has a bed and breakfast feel as you eat with the other guests. Wine with dinner was price reasonably. The tour of the grounds was also excellent and the tour guide was very knowledgable as were the other workers. Overall, it was a great experience and a beautiful setting.

Room Tip: The rooms are all different. If you want a great view, choose a room in the main building. They ha...

“A must stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 9, 2012 via mobile

We stayed for two nights in the side 
house. The room was rather large with a very clean and generous bath room. As the rooms are not totally closed we were able to hear our neighbors in the morning or other people walking around the house.

We had all our meals within the hotel. They provided very tasty Costa Rican  local food. The only drawback is, that there is no menu to choose from and usually there is only one main dish for everybody. But the kitchen had no problems providing alternatives to us (Just ask).

We totally can recommend the tour through the hacienda where you'll learn how coffee, sugar-cane and macadamia are processed. You can taste everything and afterwards there's a lovely lunch.

On the last evening the owner of the hotel joined us at our dessert and told us his family story and the history of the hacienda.

As we had to leave early the owner himself took care that we got some coffee and a breakfast to go in the morning.

So, we can totally recommend this place. The only minor cons are the limited choice of dishes and the only spanish speaking waitresses.
