Beautiful setting in the middle of nature with great variety if wildlife and activities on premises. Not quiet, as at night all animals come alive, but for us the jungle noises and rain were super relaxing. Excellent service and food. Ownership truly cares about the environment and growing this ecosystem. Fantastic! One of a kind!

The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. They were very friendly and attentive. The ziplinning experience is a must! The thermal river and pools were even better than expected. The mix of luxury, relaxation, and activities were exactly what we wanted in a trip to Central America. From hiking to the spa experience, can't express how perfect this was.

If you are looking for peace, for beauty, for adventure, for an extraordinary kind and knowledgable staff you will find all of that and more at Rio Perdido. This place offers so much to people of all ability levels. Every staff member we met from managers to adventure guides to gardening staff, waiters, and housekeeping all seemed to do their jobs with a happy heart and never failed to greet us even just in passing warmly. We hope to one day return to this little slice of heaven.

We had an amazing stay at Rio Perdido. The grounds are beautiful. We saw monkeys, an armadillo, and lots of beautiful birds.

After 10 years of traveling, This is one of my favorite hotels in the world. So much so that I went back for another visit and would definitely love to visit again. The road to the property needs some maintenance though, otherwise the property itself is still in great condition. I just love the architecture of this property that immerses itself in nature.
