to get started.

The rooms were spacious clean and beds super comfy.

Michelle, United States of America

The location was literally off the beaten path! It was so nice to have a peaceful getaway. We loved our private room with a hammock outside on the porch! The bed was SO COMFY and the bathroom was top notch. Great shower and water pressure. We loved the hiking, thermal pools, spa, zip lining and tubing. The staff was very attentive everywhere with the exception of the pool bar. A big THANK YOU especially to Juan on the zip line for lightening the mood and making it less scary. He also helped out a family in the group that brought their 4 year old (not sure why anyone would bring a 4 year old ziplining but to each their own)...anyway, Juan basically carried the little girl the entire time on his back. He was amazing. Also, a big thank you to Roy & Mario at reception, Chris & Kendall in the restaurant, and Juan, Jorge in zip lining! THey all rocked. We would love to come back one day!

Kelly, United States of America

We stayed in a new bungalow with our two teenaged boys. The accommodations were spacious, nestled into the surrounding, and very clean. We saw a tribe of monkeys, birds, and lizards. The property is beautiful. The thermal streams were refreshing. The pools clean and well maintained. The massage was also great! The staff was very attentive and nice.

Carolyn, United States of America

The location was beautiful but there is no rainforest near by dont expect to see GREEN! It is more canyon rather than rainforest. The people that work there are the best so friendly, Roy front desk is great! The drinks are delicious try the charro, and rio perdido! Best beer to drink in hot weather is the blue can IMPERIAL. If you are taking your partner you should book a romantic dinner amazing view! We did not try but we saw them setting up. Amazing place!

Jamie, United States of America

The breakfast buffet was amazing. We loved the river and trails - the grounds are just wonderful. The rooms and facilities were very clean and well designed. We also enjoyed all of the monkeys in the trees above the river.

Julia, United States of America

The staff were extremely friendly. The rooms were unique and furnished nicely. The food served was delicious too. We loved the outdoor shower water pressure in the King bungalow room. We LOVED LOVED LOVED the white water tubing adventure. It was an amazing experience and worth the price. The outdoor pools were lovely, each with a different water temperature. Holler monkeys roam freely in the trees above the pool area which were amazing to watch so closely.

Stacey, United States of America

Beautiful setting. Gorgeous rooms. Incredible facilities. The restaurant food is mediocre, and this was a surprise given the high end and wonderful ecerything else.

The road to the property is very rough and hard to navigate. The property is isolated- which could be good or bad. We enjoyed the solitude and peace. But keep this in mind if you need to bring snacks or other items with you. The hiking trails were not well marked.

I loved the place, but throughout our whole stay we kept smelling a foul odor in our room. It was coming from the bathroom area, and we also did not like that my wife got sick after she ate a meal that had chicharron (pork). They knew she got sick gave her a drink to help her stomach but still charged for that meal. Other places usually accommodate these circumstances.

We had some issues with the telephone and wifi and the staff wasn't extremely responsive (we only stayed 2 nights to be honest so did not leave them a lot of time to action...) Menu in the restaurant is a bit limited.

Everything was unbelievable! From the room to the food including the thermal springs, the hiking trails, the pools. Absolutely gorgeous and a true gem. If you can't disconnect from your everyday grind here, you can't do it anywhere. Monkeys and tropical birds everywhere. Truly spectacular.

Since it is hard to get in there, it would have been nice to have a little mini market/snack shop inside. We had a hard time finding things for the kids to eat for snacks since they eat all the time. We should have brought more in with us. Plus, the food is great but is quite expensive and not a ton of kid-friendly healthy options.
This place is just an amazing oasis. Wonderful facilities and staff. Breakfast is absolutely amazing. The thermal river is just so incredible and they have done an amazing job of preserving its natural beauty. The hiking trails are lovely. Overall, everything was really fabulous.

Such a Beautiful hotel. Our private bungalow was peaceful. Very nicely decorated and super clean! The location is pretty far off the main roads but it is well worth the ride. We loved doing some hiking and the volcano view. Hanging out in the thermal river was my favorite part. The staff was very friendly and helpful. If we ever come back to the area we will definitely stay again

- • Leisure trip

The King Center bungalows need more lighting. Since the walls were black in the King bungalow, I feel brighter optional lighting is needed for the guests comfort. We stayed in both the Standard and King bungalows and much preferred the colors and interior room lighting of the less expensive room. The drink prices at the bar could be reduced a little bit - average was $12-$16 per cocktail which is a bit steep.
The staff were extremely friendly. The rooms were unique and furnished nicely. The food served was delicious too. We loved the outdoor shower water pressure in the King bungalow room.

There was no yoga session on Monday (which is said to be included in the price of the room) and we stayed only one night on Sunday, so no yoga for us.
Good food, very nice staff, great bungalows. The best is the thermal river and that is why we chose the lodge! There are also very good trails around the property and howler monkeys wandering around.
