Wonderful staff, they were very kind, attentive and accommodating. The location was great and there was lots to do. We ate at the restaurant all 3 evenings we were there and loved the food. They even cooked the fish my son in law and grandson caught that day. It was the best fish dinner I have ever eaten. Taco Tuesday was great Mexican food with lots of variety, we liked it all! The pool is nice as was the hot tub which was the perfect size for the whole family and then some. The beach is beautiful with a hot spring near where the boats are launched. It was very convenient for my family to book a fishing trip and broad the boat at the resort beach. We enjoyed using the paddle board and the scuba mask.

Overall, it was great and I talked to my family about booking rooms again next year and inviting more of the family to spend the week at your resort with us. However, the beds were very uncomfortable and my son in law had a lot of stiffness and pain in his back so did not sleep very well. Sorry to say that because of the bed, he prefers to stay a a different resort that has a better, more comfortable bed next year.

We loved the location, the cleanliness, and the hot tub.

The property could use a little updating, but it is clean and convenient. We will definitely stay here again .

The property is a hidden gem. Located right on the beach. The garden is beautiful and the pool area is well maintained

I would love to see mini refrigerators in the rooms. Also, our room was for two but we were only given a coffee set up for one and only one wash cloth at check in. I had to ask after room was made up for two wash cloths not replaced and never did get the extra coffee cup requested. Just a small criticism to help housekeeping do better at little details for better service.

Elizabeth was great at the front desk, the food was absolutely delicious. We paid to upgrade to a renovated room and found them nicer than what we orginally had reserved. I recommend paying for the premium room.

There are almost no outlets in the room to plug in your devices, there are none near the bed fyi. The black out curtains do not cover the windows entirely Wifi in the room is $5 a day but works extremely well

The opposite of Cabo in the very best way! So relaxing. The location is phenomenal. So are the natural hot springs on the resort, which flow into the ocean, which is otherwise cool in winter. We loved that the same family has always owned the resort, and that they still seem to love hospitality, as they are amazingly hospitable. There were some great special meals and music as well. American expats who live in the region flock to this place for the hot springs and warm beach, and they are very interesting to talk to.

Some might say the decor could use a refresh...as the resort still has a Seventies vibe...but mid-century modern is in these days, so we didn't mind.

We love the kind staff, delicious food & great accommodations at Buena Vista. We feel like family when we arrive and are always sad to leave. Not a huge tourist trap resort... is a small wonderful place.

We had a beautiful renovated room (we called ahead to confirm). It was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The beach was phenomenal. The food was extraordinarily good.

Like others have said it’s in need of updating in general to be perfect— it has character and good vibes.

The staff was extremely accommodating especially Axel. He personally set up an alternate fishing trip and shuttle to San Jose when the weather did not permit us to fish out of Buena Vista. The facilities and rooms were comfortable. That being said, I will surely visit again.

The bathroom in the room was very small!

I loved the setting- not too close to town but close enough to get there easily by car.

I was traveling with my 84 year old mother who has a hard time walking. The property is set on a steep hill with lots and lots of steps. Moving safely from our room to the restaurant or to the beach was not easy for her.

Loved the pools, outdoor fire, restaurant, palapa bar, pool decks and atmosphere. Loved the beach that was right in front. Great staff. Good prices.

The shower was luke warm and the power went off for a while. The mineral pool was good but it didn't look exceptionally clean.
