What organizers say

Appealing to everyone

Our challenge was finding a venue that would appeal to everyone different ages, different appetites for adventure while still bringing them together as a group. Hacienda Guachipelín delivered. The staff understood what we needed and made planning so much easier for our team.

Wonderful experience

Planning our incentive event at Hacienda Guachipelín was a wonderful experience. Our guests loved the adventures, and the evening of traditional Costa Rican dancing, local food, and live marimba music brought everyone together. It was the part of the trip they kept talking about.

– Carrie Nov 2025

Everything I wanted

I looked at venues across Guanacaste, but Hacienda Guachipelín brought together everything I wanted for our incentive group: adventure, nature, and the authentic character of a Costa Rican hacienda. The highlight was sharing gin and tonics at sunset at the lookout. Our guests simply loved it.
