Eda, May 2025
Pros (+) Rio Perdido’s location is absolutely breathtaking— nestled in nature with stunning thermal rivers I simply couldn’t get enough of. The staff were warm, helpful, and truly went out of their way to make guests feel welcome.
Cons (-) I stayed in one of the central bungalows, and while the setting was tranquil, the room itself didn’t quite meet expectations for the price point. It was quite dark due to poor lighting, and several basic amenities that you would expect in every hotel, such as slippers, cotton pads, etc. were missing. The minibar wasn’t even plugged in, which was disappointing given how useful a stocked fridge coul...

Kana, Nov 2024
Pros (+) We loved the whole property especially the restaurant overlooking the forests. The complimentary activities i.e. yoga session and guided hiking are also amazing! We didn't need to go out of the property at all for our 2 nights stay as we had everything we need - e.g. hiking trails, thermal river and pool to swim and good bars and restaurant. My favorite part was that we were able to spot monkeys s...
Cons (-) The outdoor shower at the center bangalow is probably not for everyone as you would need to handle some mosquitos and lots of fallen leaves (we stayed in late November), but it made me feel closer to the surrounding forests, and I ended up loving it!

Pros (+) We liked the clean and comfy room, the big bathroom , the food, the firepit tables at the restaurant, and most especially the vicinity to all the free adventure walks and waterfalls. Som e you can walk to and some you can drive but they were all fun!
Cons (-) I didnt like that there is no free shuttle to the other natural attractions that you have to drive to.
