"Rio Perdido was one of the most special places I have ever vacationed. The thermal river was absolutely amazing. We hiked down a beautiful canyon to get to the river and it was honestly 100° at the mouth of it. We sat on the bottom of the river against rocks and it felt like a whirlpool. The thermal pools were also wonderful, and I truly appreciated the design of the entire layout as it was immersed in nature and was so peaceful. One morning, I attended a complementary yoga class and my walk from our Casita located in the forest jungle across the hanging bridge into the beautiful facility had already put me in a Yoga state of mind. Additionally, the hiking was challenging and really fun and very well marked. We took a Mixology class and a stargazing night adventure which were both so much fun as well as interesting. The staff were kind and friendly, it was an absolute perfect vacation."

"This is definitely the place to visit if you are in Costa Rica. To say hotel doesn’t really seem correct, though. It’s more of an experience! There are so many options to choose from at Rio Perdido. I loved the thermal river and we spend days walking the river. I think there could be more signage but then that would ruin the adventure of bouldering / walking through this wonderful thermal spring. We couldn’t believe how secluded it was. We enjoyed the river tubing as well. The yoga class was strenuous and interesting. I wish they expanded their classes to Pilates. The extra class costs were also too costly and I hope that changes. We loved the mixology class with Wesley. We stayed in the east bungalows which are the lowest prices category of rooms. They exceeded our expectations. The beds, housekeeping balcony, showers all were great. The thermal pools are busy but I understand there is a plan to enlarge the space and also built a cold plunge pool. It is really the staff that makes this place fantastic. They really seem to enjoy serving guests. The food and drinks are excellent as many have reported. The costs are in line with excellent hotels in this country. We plan to return December 2026, as we only live 2 hours away, and for that I am grateful!"

"The property is beautiful and filled with native wildlife and plants. It covers many terrains for tons of activity options. We did yoga twice, the canopy tour (zipline), rainforest adventure (offsite) and then hiking and thermal river on our own. Service is impeccable including the transportation they arranged. I had a shoe malfunction 30 mins before we left for the rainforest trip and without blinking an eye, they managed to reattach the sole for our on-time departure. We loved all of the food and fresh ingredients - especially the fresh fruit and passion fruit sorbet. Finally, the icing on the cake was the outdoor showers in the center bungalows. They were amazing and I could stay there forever just to shower like that every day."

"Rio Perdido is a place of welcome, wildlife and complete Pura Vida! I was there with a friend for 2 nights and it was a perfect finish for our Costa Rica adventure. The accommodation was beautiful, we stayed in the Center Bunglow. The room was big and we saw monkeys from our deck. There is a fabulous outside shower which was great. The thermal pools and river are warm and leave you feeling nourished. We both had a massage which was one of the best I have had. We also enjoyed a meditation in the river and a yoga practice. Everything about Rio Perdido was wonderful and I definitely recommend it."

"What a lovely place. The people here are amazing. So kind and helpful, a staff to be proud of. All the meals were so good. The best food we had in Costa Rica. Accommodations were so cool. And the place was spotless. Beds extremely comfortable. And seeing all the wildlife and hanging out in the thermal river is magical. We will be back."
