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.

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.

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.

Like your own little retreat
I wanted to give my Dad a nice 2 day getaway, and Rio Perdido was amazing. From the staff to the property, everything was perfect. The rooms were eco design, and the bedding, just amazing comfort! The restaurant's food was excellent and they catered to our dietary needs (vegan) with ease. The property is big, so it never felt crowded and we couldn't believe we had the natural hot spring river to ourselves as well as rarely saw anyone on the well kept trails. I am definitely returning and would like to plan one of my retreats here as it felt exactly like your own slice of paradise.
Hot Spring pool if you want to skip the hike to the hot spring river.

I wish I was writing this review under a different circumstances. After driving 3 hours with my wife and two children(10 years and 7 y 9 months) and talking about warm spring, and planning our stay at Rio, it was disappointing to face Jonathan, the manger. As soon as we entered the reception area, you could feel the disappointment in staff’s faces. They came up with 8 age policy at the check in. We didn’t see the welcome you expect at the check in! Jonathan’s mind was set not to check us in. Despite Jonathon’s failed efforts and doing research online trying to find ‘under 8 year old not allowed’ policy, he refused to check us in. After contacting Expedia , Expedia representative said they should have checked you in because their policy states CHILDREN ARE WELCOME And there is no talk of age. And now after this incident, they changed their policy on Expedia. Anyway , we had to deal with crying children, their disappointment and their anxiety of where are we going to sleep tonight. So , one could image what my rating for this hotel would be. Hope this could help you with your decision.
