Rio Perdido

Reviewed By RobandEmily5302 - Huntington, United States

Founder/developer Gabriel Saragovia runs such an efficient operation that he makes it look easy. Rio Perdido is built in, around and above the lush Rio Perdido (Lost River), which has at least 20 thermal watering holes, where you can swim and soak all day in varying temperatures of "warm". If you wish hang out by the pool area, Rio Perdido has three warm pools, a swim up bar where the adorable and capable Diego will bring you plenty to eat and drink from a terrific tapas/cocktail menu featuring lots of local style dishes. Breakfasts are super fun. The gentle and courtly Divier Zamora-Rodrigues is the head morning chef, who puts out such a varied display of local, regional and continental breakfast items, we kept walking around just to enjoy the view. Young Jeffrey and Jafeth are two of the finest waitstaff members, both accommodating, respectful and efficient. Sorry we couldn't pack them up in our suitcases. Dinners are also varied, elegant and made of locally sourced ingredients, and the dining area is large and cleanly appointed with furniture done in this gorgeous, very hefty golden wood. The elegance of the dining/bar/reception area is done in such a way as to maximize the views of the woods overlooking the canyon and river. As we were dining, there was a delightful breeze constantly wafting over and around us. Our casita, number 12, looks directly into the back woods and we were treated to the sight of a family of Howler Monkeys taking their breakfast in the trees just a few feet away from us. There are several classes of bungalows, and they vary by size, but even our least expensive casita was spacious, super clean, with a fantastic king size bed, and we slept like baby Howler Monkeys. For the adventurous (not us), there are numerous hiking trails, two zipline tracks that fly way up over the canyon, a Tarzan swing (looks like crazy fun, but don't ask us!), viewing spots, bridges, including one vast suspension-style, and a wonderful assortment of walking trails that will lead you down to the Lost River for a soak. Bring good waterproof walking sandals or shoes. The beautiful thing about Rio Perdido is that Mr. Saragovia operates this place with a combination of zeal and mindfulness, and the relaxed feeling of this place conceals quite efficient underpinnings. Every member of the staff does more than "specialize"; they will pitch in when and wherever needed. For example, Jonathan, in Guest Services, was not just a concierge, but also a guide, a Spanish teacher, and was acutely aware of the needs of his guests. He is soon to be promoted - congratulations, Jonathan! We also felt that there was always someone around in the main building, the pool and grounds, and near the bungalows. This is very important to us. When we're in a foreign place, we want to feel as though we are being looked after. Rio Perdido does just that and a lot more, and a mere hour from the Liberia Airport. Finally, if you have time for only one place to visit in beautiful Costa Rica, this is it. It's close to the Liberia Airport, very driveable, and only an hour or so from the famous Guanacaste Beaches, if that's your bag. We were so happy here, we didn't move. We can't wait to visit Gabriel's gorgeous place once again! Bravo!

Cataratas Llanos de Cortes

Reviewed By oummimi - Rockland, Canada

Great for families, with teenagers or small children, great way to spend afternoon (picnic!) at a very reasonable price....very easy to find usine Waze app....just off the highway! There was a gentleman playing carribean style music for tips, which gave the place a magical atmosphere. The water is warm & the bottom is sand...not rocks like in lakes & rivers. Very safe for families & comfortable on the feet. There was a spot on the side in the shade where there was many small fishes that were very fast...which kept my 6yr old busy the whole time trying to catch them! My 4 kids loved this place much better than any expensive zoos/attraction parks. Enoy!

Las Hornillas Volcano Hot Springs

Reviewed By BanjosKids

Don't expect a built-up tourist attraction here. It is a small family-owned establishment that includes a hike with hanging bridges and waterfalls, a nice restaurant, cabins, and the main attraction of the hot springs and secondary volcano crater. We visited all except the cabins and thoroughly enjoyed our day. During the off-season (October), we were the only ones there! The guide had very limited English, but fortunately we had a Spanish speaker with us to interpret all the interesting information. Alternately, read all the information on the website before you go. We found the thermal vents and "boilers" to be extremely interesting. It's a nice place to relax and spend some time with the sauna, mud baths, and thermal baths of different temperatures. The establishment was quite rustic (in terms of bathrooms and changing rooms and lockers) but it's adequate. I liked how "homey" it was as opposed to other attractions which may be "shinier" and more sanitized but have lost some of their character. We would recommend this for a day trip.
