Lock in a great price for Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River – rated 9.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. I have been several times and everything - from the excellent staff to the amazing room to the beautiful facility - all is beyond words. So much to do and see it never gets old. I travel frequently and stay is some pretty awesome places but Rio Perdido will always have a special place in my heart. Please don't ever change; just keep being excellent

Allan, United States of America

All activities provided on site. The view on the jungle. Interaction with monkeys.

Carlo, France

Staff was great!!! Right from the start Stephanie at the from desk was really friendly and helpful, while Jonathan the bell boy was incredibly fun. We took the tubing tour in the river and we had a great experience with "Burro" and Jorge, who even told us some histories about the place and a hurricane few years ago. The thermal water river is unique, just like out of book or movie! And the new rooms are comfortable and really modern. We even trail-run to the "Tumbas" to look at the sunset, which was an out of this world experience. Overall exceeded our expectations!!!

Thermal river was excellent a unique experience. Good for hiking around the reserve. Pool areas excellent. Staff and Service in the restaurant very good. Rooms are comfortable but relatively basic given the cost.

The service was outstanding in every way and the grounds were absolutely magical. It was wonderful to never feel crowded even when the resort was busy. The activities were a highlight and the monkeys on the grounds were a true highlight. We loved it here.

Amazing resort with great staff! We did the zip lining, hot springs and it was amazing. The road to the resort is a little rough but all worth it!

Perhaps having wine glasses and a corkscrew in the room would have been good but that was easy enough to organise anyway...
Right from the moment we arrived, Stephanie the night manager made us really welcome. We were starving after 30 hours of travel so she organised food before we’d even checked in. The location on the thermal river and surrounded by mesa’s and forest was awesome. The rooms were modern and beautifully designed to blend into the forest. Couple that with great outdoor showers and it is hard to beat. All of the staff were really friendly and it’s hard to find any fault anywhere. Oh plus the food in the restaurant is great which is good because there’s not much around the area...

Distance from house to reception/restaurant and pool was long. They had ziplining, tubing, etc but cost a lot. Better that this was included so much more to do. When you do not the ziplining and tubing you only can relax at the pool or go in the thermal river (very nice). In the neighbourhood was not much to do.
Nice houses in the jungle.

The drive in on the dirt road is bad. Once you get onto the facility, it's wonderful. The "king" bedsare two singles put together, so there is an uncomfortable seam in the middle

“I'll be back”

Really awesome porch on each bungalow with these sweeeet hammocks.....how about screening them in? That would be the icing on the cake!!!! Hard to 'hang' out for longer than a few min. Sure wanted to! Even with my own mosquito netting sprayed with copious Herbal Armor mosquitoes drove me indoors. Had hoped to enjoy morning coffee there but not more than a few sips. Bedtime was a mosquito feeding frenzy out there. Also would help keep bugs out of the room. Upriver swimming holes very buggy......2 kinds of ants you need to steer clear of. Massive spiders, other stuff that wanted a bite of me. Didn't find it safe to sit or soak. It's jungle..it's home to.these creatures so I'm the intruder. Don't hurt them, just give guests some instructions to be safe. The flora and river is incredibly beautiful. Just don't expect to spread out a towel and lay down. Keep moving and watch where you put hands and feet. Hard to think of anything that was not top notch
Stunning design of lodge and grounds.. comfortable yet luxurious. Bungalows are perfect, absolutely my favorite experience of places I've stayed. Cute, functional, everything you could need was there and in excellent working order, like rest of Rio, just fun to be there. Fun vibe everywhere! staff is 120%! Well trained, welcoming, professional, well supported by flawless software. Activities are excellent. Pools, drinks, food, service, housekeeping, grounds......all off the charts!! Even staff with the golf carts was so happy to run you home and even asked when to come back if you like. Chatty and smiling. Spa is beautiful with excellent staff. I was late for appt once and was accommodated, I appreciated that. Even the Locker room below lodge was beautiful, Everything spotless. Embraces nature and surroundings. Love it, I'll be back. Haven't mentioned how awesome the river is! yet.....it's the star!! Just magical. The trails are beautiful! Truly a restorative experience.
