    This is our 4th stay at River Bank Lapa. We feel always welcome and more like it is our home away from home. The location is stunning.

    Privacy on a languid river bank. Very comfortable outdoor space. Lovely host. The young man in the front lot washed our car, which was very nice. We tipped him of course!
