    “When I read other reviews, thought they must be exaggerated or fake, but this place really is everything others say. Absolutely beautiful property. Warm, friendly caring staff. Loved the private flight experience to and from SJO. Waterfall hike tour. A little more challenging than we were first led to expect, but we made it, LOVED it! Casitas beautiful. Huge! Spa and fitness and pools all excellent, big, new. Only minor criticisms: Fitness centre equipment a little limited. No leg machines. Food is overall very good, but some dishes a little underwhelming. Breakfasts excellent. In-room dining, so-so. Understandably food is pricey, as to be expected for the stature of the property. We spent an average of $170 US per adult per day for meals. We don’t drink much. Adds up.”

    “We loved our stay here! It was the perfect vacation to ring in the new year. We highly recommend taking a private plane to the resort. Hacienda AltaGracia is the perfect combination of relaxation and activity. We loved the horseback rides, the ultralight flight, hiking and relaxing by the gorgeous infinity pool. The resort grounds are gorgeous. The food is great. The breakfast is top notch. The staff is top notch. We will be back! ”

    “Overall amazing, its a bit expensive for the area for sure. Also not much to do in the area, off of the property, unless you want to drive for an hour or more. STUNNING Location”

    “You can be as busy or chilled out as you want to be. The location is fabulous and the resort is perfection. Beautiful spa with large indoor salt water pool. The food was great and the staff were very attentive. I highly recommend flying from San Jose to San Isidro del General. Traffic around San Jose is a nightmare.”
