Rio Perdido

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Rio Perdido. We originally had booked the East Bungalow and after our first night, we were upgraded to the West Bungalow. While the East Bungalow was a lovely room, the West Bungalow was a show stopper with floor to ceiling windows, privacy and an amazing outdoor shower/bath tub. The staff were very friendly and professional, we received excellent care from everyone. The property grounds are very well maintained, though in some areas, you could see some age in the infrastructure. There was a spa and yoga studio on the grounds, unfortunately we didn't make use of those, but we did explore some of the hiking trails which provided amazing landscape and views. We also booked the canyon rafting and ziplining activities through the hotel, which were a highlight of our trip. The guides were all excellent and made sure we were taken care of. Another highlight of this property is the access to the thermal river. Highly recommend visiting - the water was so warm and welcoming. Also, the food at Rio Perdido was excellent. Compliments to the kitchen as everything we ate was delicious. The hotel is about an hour away from the airport and nestled in the middle of a large private nature reserve, so there is no one close by and feels very secluded. With only around 40-ish bungalow rooms, the hotel never feels crowded. We had an amazing time during our stay and would love to return again the future.

Rio Perdido is a truly special place. We stayed in a central bungalow that’s designed so you think you are in a cave and can immerse yourself fully in the nature and fabulous views from the large windows all around. There are also so many activities. We did tubing, the morning guided walk and the night walk and zip line. Each activity was well organised and we felt completely safe and well looked after. The guides were very knowledgeable. The dining area is fantastic with views over the dry forest. Special thanks to Ignacio! And the hot springs are surreal!

Rio Perdido is the perfect place to relax and disconnect,surrounded by nature and tranquility. The rooms are cozy,private and thoughtfully spaced apart. The river and the thermal pools are incredibly inviting. The food is delicious. What truly makes this place special,however,is the exceptional hospitality of the staff. Their warmth and attentiveness make every guest feel welcome and leave you wanting to come back.

What a place! As a couple looking for adventure it delivered. The hot spring river was amazing, staff, service, tours, food, all exceptional. We had 2 nights but wish we’d had more

The location is breathtaking. We would walk half a day to get to see and experience the Rio Perdido, a loverly small river with hot water in such a nice environment. Having the luxury of being able to stay there in such a nice hotel makes it an unique experience. We had a centre bungalow for 4, which was very nice, great food, excellent service, lovely tours ... all very nice. The only downside - also the water in the swimming pool is very warm and not refreshing. Thank you very much for a lovely stay. Highly recommendable.
