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.
