10/10 Exceptional

The retreat is pristine. The thermal river is majestic. The facilities are exceptional. Highly recommend. However. Be advised that the last several miles of the road to the property is very poorly maintained. Although I will still give a 5 star rating, the mattresses are extremely firm, and on day 3 our room had a septic smell that never really went away. I also would not recommend the tubing excursion. It is, for lack of better words, lame... and expensive.

After 10 years of traveling, This is one of my favorite hotels in the world. So much so that I went back for another visit and would definitely love to visit again. The road to the property needs some maintenance though, otherwise the property itself is still in great condition. I just love the architecture of this property that immerses itself in nature.

Wow! Just wow! We will definitely be back! This place is inspiring. What a Gem! We had the pleasure of meeting Gabriel the founder and just in the brief encounter I understood why this place is so magical…. It starts with a vision and it becomes a mission! Staff were amazing and it was nice to see a team that worked together and did so happily. No one looked tired or overworked it felt like they felt were proud to work there, they were proud about working for a company that cares about their flora and fauna. We were fortunate to see the beginning of their garden project and are looking forward to returning to see it finalized. Our trip to Costa Rica is not over … and I am happy to report I feel re energized both physically and spiritually! Do not miss the opportunity to visit Rio Perdido Hotel!

Our stay at Rio Perdido in Costa Rica was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with warmth and hospitality. We chose this destination to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the United States, and it exceeded all our expectations. The resort offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking peace and tranquility. The thermal pools were a highlight, providing a unique and rejuvenating experience. Additionally, immersing ourselves in the rich Costa Rican culture added an extra layer of enjoyment to our stay. We indulged in relaxing massages at the spa and savored refreshing drinks at the bar, where Alex and the staff made us feel right at home. Special mention goes to MOD Monica, whose attentiveness and helpfulness enhanced our experience. Our transportation to the airport was made memorable by Esteban, whose positive energy was contagious. It's evident that owner Gabriel takes great pride in the property, fostering a sense of family among the staff. Rio Perdido's commitment to eco-friendliness is commendable, and the beauty of the surroundings is truly awe-inspiring. We left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, already planning our return to this paradise. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

One of the best hotel I’ve stayed at!
This was our first trip to Costa Rica, and we couldn’t have picked a better place for the type of vacation we wanted. My wife and I stayed at Rio Perdido in East Bungallow 18 for 7 days. During our stay, we did a lot of hiking, both on site and at near by national parks. If you want to enjoy your hike in nature, I strongly recommend bringing hiking shoes, water bottle or hydration pack and DEET 30 mosquito repellent. We also brought headlamps, which we were glad we did as they keep lighting to a minimum. Obviously, the thermal river is a must do. On-site, we also did the Zipline (amazing!) and got messages at the SPA. The food was very good, but we were glad we rented a car to explore off-site local food. Off-site we also did a day of white water rafting, which I strongly recommend. The only warning I can give is that the hotel is secluded, which is what attracted us, but getting to and out of the hotel is not convenient.

8/10 Very Good

The staff and service was impeccable. The spa experience was excellent. Marlene is the best nail technician ever. She gave my mom and I the best manicure and pedicure we have ever had. A few things that would greatly improve this hotel is better lighting in the rooms as it's difficult to see at night. Also, the black paint on the walls is very unattractive. A lighter brighter color would be so much better. The food menu could be more diverse and have more casual options. Overall ,our experience was still excellent and we hope to return. Thank you Rio Perdido.

10/10 Exceptional

I am a Mexican national residing in the US and travel two to three times per year, however, I have never encountered such good customer service. To say the staff was "excellent" at their work is an understatement. They make you feel at home, from the hostess, the concierge, the drivers, waiters, masseuse, bartender, etc. They go above and beyond. The place is a piece of paradise on earth. The only things to keep in mind when coming is that the hotel is remote, at least one hour from the Liberia airport depending on traffic. There is a lot to do at the facility, like tubing, hiking, hot springs, pool, massages. The hikes are strenuous, the hot springs are HOT, and the massages are amazing. The menu is the same throughout the week with the daily special plates, which are all delicious. They have an in-house chef and baker that can work with your requests, I had a cake made for my wife on her birthday and it was amazing. I have nothing but amazing things to say about the "tocó" people. Fell in love with this country!

The ultimate glamping experience of my life. The private mini house was amazing and super comfortable, quiet, clean.. couldn’t have asked for more on that. The river is close so you can access everything within walking. The hanging bridge was fabulous. We did the zip line and it was a must do experience, super fun and super safe. The men who operate it are meticulous about safety while also being fun and funny. The pools were nothing too fantastic but nice. Free breakfast was excellent. Would highly recommend.
