Thermal River Bliss

Soaking in the thermal river was one of the most wondrous experiences I’ve ever had. I visited multiple times, often finding I was the only one there, surrounded by the peaceful sounds of nature. The warm waters flowing through the lush landscape felt like a true escape from reality.

Delicious Culinary Adventures

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food at the restaurant. Each meal was a delight, and the complimentary breakfast was particularly impressive, featuring a wide array of options including a homemade omelette station. Dining while surrounded by nature made the experience even more special.

Stunning Bungalows

My stay in the center bungalow was amazing. It had a spacious layout with floor-to-ceiling windows allowing amazing views of the surrounding forest. The outdoor shower was an very nice touch that enhanced the experience of being immersed in nature, providing a unique connection to the outdoors.

Adventure Awaits

The range of activities offered was fantastic! I tried zip-lining and tubing, both were thrilling and set in stunning locations. The adrenaline rush of the zip line against the backdrop of the lush canyon was something I will never forget, and it truly added to my overall adventure.

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.

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.

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.

Facilities

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.
