Rio Perdido: Solo Trip Approved!

Rio Perdido was a great choice for my first time solo trip! The highlights were: staff were attentive and well-trained, they present a plethora of activities to participate in, and the meals were, fresh, nutritious & tasty. As a first time solo traveler, I had privacy and appropriate camaraderie from the RP Team. Daniela was a complete jewel as she was very attentive and knowledgeable of the campus and surrounding area. Johan was an amazing server with a cheerful demeanor who made dinner time enjoyable. Oscar was skilled and polite as he gave perfect instructions and carefully guided us through a memorable canyoning adventure- the ziplining is an unforgettable time and very well planned. The bungalows are full of character; I had the pleasure of experiencing two- east and center. The east bungalow is the smaller space, but the hammocks were a joy to have readily available on the patio area. The center bungalows are the upgrade for sure regarding space & amenities. I absolutely adored the private outdoor shower space- it felt like bathing under an open heaven in the jungle- I must have bathed three times a day just to enjoy the splendor of it all. The bungalows felt very private, which was a plus as well. The pool area and swim up bar were fantastic, & the menu was wonderful. My massage was PERFECT! The entire experience was amazing to be in the heart of the jungle while still experiencing luxury. It was like capturing a little glimpse of heaven. A must return for sure!

Great Staff Oscar preparing me for ziplining

If you are looking for peace, for beauty, for adventure, for an extraordinary kind and knowledgable staff you will find all of that and more at Rio Perdido. This place offers so much to people of all ability levels. Every staff member we met from managers to adventure guides to gardening staff, waiters, and housekeeping all seemed to do their jobs with a happy heart and never failed to greet us even just in passing warmly. We hope to one day return to this little slice of heaven.

Jungle Oasis

Truly one of a kind! We stayed in an east bungalow surrounded by forest, monkeys, birds and the sound of the waterfall. Each bungalow is private and well appointed. From the staff to the food to the pools and activities, it is a 5 star experience all around. Just over an hour from LIR airport, this should be on your list of places not to miss while in CR.

The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. They were very friendly and attentive. The ziplinning experience is a must! The thermal river and pools were even better than expected. The mix of luxury, relaxation, and activities were exactly what we wanted in a trip to Central America. From hiking to the spa experience, can't express how perfect this was.
