Buenavista accommodation from NZ$181

A surprising beautiful resort and very quiet. Meals were very good. Grounds were well kept. Highly recommend.

Relaxing, hot tub was great. Home away from crowds, but close to beaches. if you have a car, restaurants and groceries close enough too. You can rent side x side in Los Barriles about a 5-8 minute drive. Waterfalls and hotsprings within 40 minute drive. 4 wheel drive vehicles or side x side best for waterfall and hotspings outings.

We rang in the new year at the Casa de las Sonrisas. I also turned 50 here. It was the best house and setting that we could have asked for!! It was perfect for our group of 9. The location was great – very secluded away from tourists and commotion. We had the best time. The hot tub and pool were amazing and well used by the group. The rooms were spacious and had very comfortable beds. Relaxing was so easy here. We were able to see whales from the balconies!!Being right on the beach was so fun. We went exploring and the guys took the kayaks out each morning. There are so many places to sit and relax throughout the house. Everywhere you sat you had a fabulous view and could hear the waves. The kitchen was a dream. We made many meals there with ease.The host was easy to chat with and very responsive to questions. The man that helped us during our stay made us feel at home and was extremely helpful. All in all, I would highly recommend staying here. I dream of a day we can return!!The only thing that I would note is that the roads are only dirt getting there once you turn off the main road. We had small SUVs and didn’t have any trouble. But I just wanted to note it for anyone renting cars.
