Rio Perdido

Unique place to get away and wind down. Nicely set up, great eye for detail. Very friendly and helpful staff and more than excellent food!

Rio Perdido IS amazing! This spot is highly recommended for hikers, mountain bikers, adventure junkies (the zip-line course is phenomenal), athletic people, people seeking relief from ailments (they have magnificent hot springs/lagoons that are fed by mineral rich water that comes from the close by volcano). I could go on for hours about how amazing this family owned business is. It’s clear that Gabriel & Priscilla Saragovia & family care very much about Costa Rica, the people of CR, sustainability efforts in CR & ensuring that their staff & guests are treated like family. The chefs go out of their way to create dishes that are not only works of art but are delicious. It is evident that every staff member is happy to come to work & to be part of a team that truly cares about Costa Rica! We will tell all that will listen about what an amazing place Rio Perdido is & will remain for years to come. During our stay in July, we had the opportunity to meet the owners, their energy & enthusiasm was evident! They are very proud of what they have created, & rightfully so! We can’t wait to return! Thank you to every team member who worked hard to ensure that our stay was magical!  Lisa & Brian

io Perdido It’s hard to think of anything negative to say - it truly is a 5+ star resort. From the moment you check in the service is unbelievable - all team members are friendly and accommodating. Very knowledgeable (most are local) and more than willing to answer questions or find a solution to an inquiry. The property is beautiful - perfectly maintained and private design so that each bungalow feels as though it’s alone in the forest. Monkeys are be seen overhead and there are a lot of opportunities for wildlife spotting. The bungalows are very spacious and well laid out. Beds are unbelievably comfortable and a range of pillows made for a comfy sleep for all of us. We would also be remiss if we didn’t mention the shower - perhaps it’s because our last stop had a terrible shower but we found this one lovely - fast hot water, lovely rainfall shower head (and handheld) and great pressure. The are hiking trails and a full schedule of activities you can sign up for. We recommend the tubing - super fun and the staff who accompanied us were so fun! Definitely a highlight!! The pool is beautiful - it is actually broken up into 3 pools and with only 38 rooms there are plenty of sun beds regardless of how full the resort is. Food……oh wow I could dedicate an entire review - never a bad meal. The menu offers selections for everyone (gluten free, veg, etc) and the staff are very accommodating with special requests due to restrictions. One tip: watch the price is leading up to your trip… If the price drops or there is a promotional special, you may email the resort for a rate adjustment

If you are reading reviews and considering staying here - BOOK IT! Our stay was probably the best in our lives. Everything was amazing. Highlights for myself were - the thermal hot springs river on the property - a three minute walk from your bungalow. Bunalow casitas were amazing. even blackout curtains we almost missed breakfast! The cocktails were the best I ever had. Great time sitting at the swim up pool bar in the afternoon. Staff were the best ever. There are negatives I can think about. Heck, we didnt even get bit by one mosquito. Great job hotel management, I will stay here again.

We had an amazing stay at Rio Perdido. The staff and service was excellent. The rooms were well-appointed with special touches. We stayed in the Center Bungalows and were happy to see an anteater outside our room on the path one morning. The food at Rio Perdido was delicious and fresh. The included breakfast had so many options, and the fresh organic produce and fruits from the garden were the star of most dishes. We enjoyed a yoga class, exploring the paths on the property, and the thermal river and thermal pools. We look forward to returning!
