"The thermal river was a special experience, and the volcanic mud really did seem to make our skin younger :)"

My stay at this eco-friendly resort was a unique experience, combining the beauty of nature with luxurious amenities. The rooms, though beautiful and spacious, had some quirky design flaws that detracted from the overall experience. The staff were excellent, providing attentive service, but the dining options could use some improvement. The location is stunning, nestled between two volcanoes, and offers breathtaking views, but getting there can be a challenge due to rough roads.

The amenities, especially the natural hot springs pools, were enjoyable and relaxing, but the lack of a proper drinks menu at the pool bar was noticeable.

I had an amazing time at Rio Perdido, where the natural beauty is absolutely breathtaking. The rooms are spacious and designed to help you connect with nature, but our family would have loved some hammocks to relax in. The staff was mostly attentive, but a few interactions felt a bit lacking. While the dining options were decent, there was room for improvement in variety. Overall, the experience was fun, especially with the outdoor activities, though the thermal pools were warmer than refreshing.

Rio Perdido is a unique and memorable place nestled in nature, with clean and comfortable bungalows that offer spacious accommodations. The staff is incredibly warm and attentive, making our stay enjoyable, though the dining options, especially for kids, could use some improvement.

My stay at Rio Perdido was a delightful blend of nature and relaxation. The scenic views and warm thermal pools were truly a highlight, creating a serene atmosphere. However, I expected more from the service, which felt a bit rushed at times. The dining options were decent but could use more variety for longer stays. Overall, it's a great spot to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings.

Surrounded by stunning nature, the location is perfect for those looking to escape. The access to thermal rivers and hiking trails adds to the natural beauty, although it would be wonderful if some areas were less crowded.

The dining was good, with fresh fruit and an egg station at breakfast. However, the menu could be more varied for those staying longer, as it felt a bit limited after a couple of days.

The facilities were well-maintained, featuring beautiful pools and trails. There's a lovely atmosphere but could use more seating at the pools, especially when there are day pass guests visiting.
