I stayed at the tree house unit.
Very secluded and totally surrounded by nature with no neighbors.
A few bugs but that is to be expected with an open kitchen area and sleeping in a tree house.
Would highly recommend for the more adventurous.
They also have private enclosed cabine to rent with all the facilities required.
Pool are was very nice and all of the landscaping was excellent.
Will definitely stay again in the future.

I would love to say it was an amazing experience, since the grounds and architecture is beautiful and well kept, although communication and treatment was poor at best. I have traveled all over the world and have never been told you that can only reach the workers within the hours of 8am-6pm. Therefore, if one has flight or transportation delays you will not get in, even though you paid. In my case, the owner responded very rudely and annoyed since I arrive at 6:30pm. I needed help leaving the property for dinner since the key they gave me had difficulties opening the gate, he was clearly choleric.
You definitely need a car to go to this location.
One of the reasons why I decided to go to rio encantado was because in other reviews people mentioned that for a price, the bartender would make drinks or cook near the pool. That was not the case, wren I went. I was there two nights and every time they saw my family and I they walked away. The menu was on the counter of the bar, just no person was there to help us.
I have to say, the grounds are very well kept, clean and tidy. The sofa beds and pillows need some updating, since it was pretty uncomfortable.
When I went to the city, locals mentioned that there was a guy that used to work there and he was the life of the place, cooked here and there, and also prepared drinks, but he is no longer there.
Needless to say, I do not recommend this place.

This nature preserve was the most beautiful, we were able to sleep with the windows open every night and we we're able to hear the river from our cottage, the air was so clean and fresh, the cottages were cozy and clean and inviting, the pool, the views, the service, everything was amazing, we would definitely stay there again and again.

Nice property, but minimal provisions for 2 bedroom cabin, (ie no salt and pepper). A bit out of the way, but reasonable for the price.

The property was beautiful! The people were exceptional!!!
El lugar es tranquilo y muy bonito.
Esta lejos de Boquete. Sin coche es casi imposible moverse por la zona.
Por hacer un pequeño recorrido por la propiedad cobran 10 dolares
Beautiful views and the river was great. Missing a restaurant on site.

Réservation pas correcte pour le prix payé
Nous ont donné une toute petite chambre à l'arrivée car notre bungalow avait été loué à d'autres clients alors que nous avons fait la réservation depuis mars ! Nous avons dû faire avec Heureusement que je parle couramment espagnol pour avoir notre réservation qui correspondait au prix que l'on avait payé
Really enjoyed the pool used it everyday. The grounds are wonderful with birds and a couple of monkeys. Hiking trail was nice too used it everyday as well. Staff very friendly. A great place to relax!!
Un endroit incroyable bâti avec goût et enthousiasme depuis 10 ans par son propriétaire / américain
Toutes les "cabanes" sont différentes, préférez la 2 ou la 3 ou encore celle "dans l'arbre"
Des p'us réels : la passerelle qui enjambe le Rio pour entamer le parcours dans la jungle, la petite page tranquille au pied de la cabane 3 ou encore la piscine et les petits sinces jumeaux--King & Kong- fidèles au lieu bien qu'en toute liberté
On y est très très bien !
Cabin 2 was comfy,clean and private with good kitchen and living room. Nice pool but relaxing in the river is better. Several nice swimming spots. Suspension bridges and nature trail, lush tropical landscape. Don't just use it as a base for exploring, spend time enjoying Rio encantado. Used the AC at night but things cool down before morning and the breakfast on the patio in your PJs, birds chirping and the sound of the river is lovely! Pick up some groceries in David.
Great place, it was very clean, comfortable, nice kitchen, by the river, you are able to close up the windows and keep nature out if you want to. Security is probably not necessary although they a gate to the property and provide a remote to come and go as you please. In Caldera you can have a meal for two, and I mean a filling meal, with two beers and a coke for $8.50 at Melissas. Easy to get to Bouqete in 18 minutes or to David in 35 minutes.
The grounds are beautiful. This little ravine with a river, where you can swim and with a warm waterfall. Flowers, palm trees, and so many other plants.
The hosts are super friendly. Especially Adrian is a nice and attentive host/ bartender. The owner, Frank, takes very good care of his grounds and has lots of fun stories. The cabin is very spacious and has a great view. Was sad to leave!
