"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 — A Truly Magical Experience at Río Perdido Río Perdido is one of the most extraordinary resorts we’ve ever visited — a hidden gem that exceeds expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with genuine warmth and hospitality. The maids, servers, concierge team, and everyone on site were unfailingly kind, attentive, and made us feel like we were among friends. The resort itself is stunning. Set within a private preserve of forests, canyons, and geothermal wonders, every view feels like a postcard. The thermal river is unforgettable — relaxing, healing, and unlike anything you’ll experience elsewhere. We loved the beautiful hiking trails, restorative yoga sessions, and exhilarating zip-lining. The food was exceptional across all restaurants, with fresh ingredients, great flavours, and flawless service. Every meal felt special. A true highlight was meeting Gabriel and his father — two of the most gracious, passionate people you’ll ever meet. Their love for the land, the community, and the guest experience shines through in every detail of the resort. Río Perdido is magical in every category: service, nature, activities, food, and atmosphere. We can’t recommend it highly enough and will absolutely be returning."

"Very friendly and helpful staff, location was hard to find, google gave wrong directions. Great food for dinner and breakfast. Saw lots of frogs. "

"This was a phenomenal vacation, thanks to Patrick--and his wonderful family. Patrick was so kind and generous with his time. He sincerely wanted us to have the best trip--and we did. The house is like a castle--with an unbelievable view of the volcano--the breakfasts were delicious buffets with so many options. Patrick gave us ideas of what to do and booked the excursions for us, making everything so easy. We'd go back to Red Sunset of Guanacaste in a second and will recommend to anyone planning a vacation in Arenal."

"Joel at the front desk was very friendly and amazing. Although we stayed only for one night, the hospitality we received was great. The breakfast was served on the table with plenty of items. Joel offered plenty of advice for visiting the national park, the general safety tips, etc. The views were breathtaking, wish we stayed longer. "

"The property is so quaint and so cute! It is close to restaurants, fruit, market, Rio, Celeste, and other coffee tours and sloth tours. Beautiful space, host responds quickly and the bathroom is stunning. Great choice!"
