Perfection? Can I Say That?

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Where do I begin. This experience was so unique its hard to put into words. From the moment you arrive to check out this resort is such a vibe! My daughter and I came for Spring Break and spent half the trip in the jungle and half on the beach, but we could have easily done the full week here - the hotel has so much to offer. Unique, treehouse-esq rooms with full wildlife viewing. Open air dining and bar, hiking, zip lining, thermal baths and the spa, ohhh the spa. I am a spa girly and I have had my fair share of beach-front massages, you aren't living until you have had a massage in the open air jungle huts (we had 2 in 4 days)!. The food was 10/10, drinks were 10/10. Monkeys every day! I also will call out. My daughter got a little sick one night and they came right to our bungalow and brought us what we needed and in the morning were there and ready to help clean up. This was very appreciated and I tipped housekeeping handsomely for their willingness to jump in, in a not-so-awesome situation. I wont make this very long but I could continue to go on and on. If you are looking for a unique stay, book here. Questions, just ask!

Our jungle oasis

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Words cannot describe the experience my family and I had at the Rio Perdido this past August. It was the perfect blend of immersion with nature with a clean and modern environment. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was an adventure we will not soon forget. We saw animals in their natural environment and it truly felt like we were all creatures coexisting. I highly recommend, I only wish we could have stayed longer.

Amazing resort, would love to go back!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

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.

Nature’s paradise

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

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!

A great place to disconnect and relax

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 months ago

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.
