"Property is built so beautifully within the vegetation and trees. We received two rooms apartment (like two entire flats one on top of the other, with 2 bathrooms, which was very convenient with two teenagers) - which was very fine furnished, cosy, clean, and maintained. From our balconies we could watch the birds and so many cute Caoties. Breakfast was delicious, as well as lunch and dinner that we have decided to have in the hotel. Chef is excellent!! Very nice and welcoming staff. We really enjoyed staying at the hotel. Very recommended"

Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel Boutique Casa del Río was one of the highlights of our Costa Rica trip! Nestled in the heart of the rainforest, the property is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for nature lovers. Our room was beautiful, and waking up to the soothing sound of the rushing river each morning was incredibly peaceful. Breakfast was delicious, with fresh tropical fruits, fresh juices, and a flavorful traditional Costa Rican breakfast. The view of the volcano from the restaurant in the morning was breathtaking. We also enjoyed dinner at the hotel, and the food was equally delicious and full of flavor. What truly made our stay exceptional was the service. The entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely eager to please, but Ramses and Maria deserve special recognition. They went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing stay and were the true definition of exceptional customer service. This was honestly one of the best hotel service experiences I’ve had to date. Beautiful surroundings, delicious food, amazing views, and outstanding hospitality. I highly recommend Casa del Río and will definitely be back! 🌿🇨🇷"
