Sherika United States of America

Much better than we anticipated. Staff was wonderful all around and super friendly. Rooms are amazing and they don’t skimp on bathroom products and we loved them. Food and service was also excellent. Zip line was amazing and the hot springs is a must do with volcanic mud (we bought some in gift shop to take home)

Chris United States of America

Everything about our experience at Rio Perdido was phenomenal. The setting is gorgeous, the rooms are stunning, the beds are so comfortable, the view from the rooms is magical, the service is exceptional, and the activities are incredibly unique and memorable.

Allison United States of America

The food, room, location and activities are amazing!

Casey United States of America

It’s absolutely gorgeous hotsprings river! People in other reviews were saying bad things about the food at the restaurant and that it was over priced BUT it was really good healthy food! It was not over salted so I think that is what turned some American off. The price was VERY modest for such a nice restaurant and service. Steak $25 salad $10… Definitely coming back here.

Ellie United States of America

We loved our stay at Rio Perdido. The staff was extremely friendly, the location was magical, and the food was amazing (we had breakfast and dinner). We loved exploring the trails and the thermal rivers. The wildlife was a huge highlight and included seeing monkeys right outside of our room. We wished we could have stayed longer.

Chelsea United States of America

Property overall, staff was awesome and food was amazing.
