Rio Perdido

Rio Perdido is a place of welcome, wildlife and complete Pura Vida! I was there with a friend for 2 nights and it was a perfect finish for our Costa Rica adventure. The accommodation was beautiful, we stayed in the Center Bunglow. The room was big and we saw monkeys from our deck. There is a fabulous outside shower which was great. The thermal pools and river are warm and leave you feeling nourished. We both had a massage which was one of the best I have had. We also enjoyed a meditation in the river and a yoga practice. Everything about Rio Perdido was wonderful and I definitely recommend it.

What a lovely place. The people here are amazing. So kind and helpful, a staff to be proud of. All the meals were so good. The best food we had in Costa Rica. Accommodations were so cool. And the place was spotless. Beds extremely comfortable. And seeing all the wildlife and hanging out in the thermal river is magical. We will be back.

My husband and I travelled to Rio Perdido with a group of friends and had a fantastic experience. The facilities are top-notch, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. On the second day of my stay, I was not feeling well. Our waiter offered to bring me a ginger tea to help settle my traveler's stomach, which was delicious and soothing. Later, at dinner, I still didn't feel up to eating from the menu, and the kitchen kindly made me scrambled eggs and dry toast, which I had along with the ginger tea. This did the trick, and I felt better the next day. I appreciate the care and attentiveness shown me. As a group, we went on the guided hike, did white-water river tubing (very fun!), and a few also did the Canyon Adventure. We had the same guide, Oscar, for all three. He is very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the area, and safety is his number-one concern. We also visited the thermal river and were entertained by the monkeys while there. Take advantage of all the activities the resort has to offer. The accommodations are clean and comfortable, and each bungalow is very private. The food at the restaurant, once I was able to enjoy it, was delicious, as were the cocktails. We had a fabulous time at this resort and highly recommend it!

Our 50th anniversary celebration at Rio Perdido was the perfect choice for us. It is a beautiful property with cute, clean, relaxing bungalows, fun activities, adventurous hikes, beautiful pools and thermal pools. Their restaurant is gorgeous, and their food is the most delicious food we have ever eaten. We looked forward to every meal. But most of all, it was Rio Perdido's staff that made it so special and fun. We were welcomed with DELICIOUS anniversary trufffles in our bungalow refrigerator. ALL of the staff were sincere, happy, and caring and went out of their way in offering excellent, prompt, and kind service. We highly recommend Rio Perdido!

Away from the big resorts, this is more at the edge of the jungle with a staff that truly makes you feel like they are happy you are there and it does not feel artificial. I found myself able to relax here, faster than anywhere else I have been given the tranquil atmosphere. We went for two days and three nights and it was perfect. Activity day one was the white water tubing, day two was the canyon zip lining adventure and in between enjoyed the thermal river and swimming pools. There is nature all around including monkeys who come right up, even saw an ant eater and armadillo at our doorstep. The staff was absolutely amazing including Kevin, who picked us up and did the white water tubing, Daniel, Martinez, Nicholas, whose personality could never be forgotten, Jafeth and the rest of the servers in the restaurant. All have a can-do attitude and could achieve any reasonable request. Francisco, the concierge was always helping to oversee. If all that isn’t enough, this place has some of the most amazing food of anywhere we have traveled. If you are a foodie, pre-purchase meals (breakfast is included) so you don’t have to consider the cost of à la cart. I cannot possibly convey in this review how good every meal was. Lots of the vegetables and herbs come from their own garden. What an incredible place to come and connect with friends or family with a support staff around you working in the background to make sure the experience is perfect.
