One of the hardest parts of traveling with bae, at least for me, is picking that perfect spot to visit. We’ve been to so many places, but still, there is a lot more to explore.
After some discussion, Costa Rica was the choice. It’s a beautiful place, and there’s a lot of scenery to enjoy. We’re both people with a deep interest in adventure and nature, so we decided to book a room at the Rio Perdido Hotel in Bagaces.
This is my review of Rio Perdido Hotel – my opinion and thoughts about the hotel and everything they have to offer. Spoiler alert: I loved every moment at this place!
Initial Thoughts Of Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River
When first arriving at the hotel, the staff immediately showed so much love and was welcoming. They were really friendly, checked us in, and immediately showed us to our room.
We stayed in one of the center bungalows, and it was a real treat.
What really impressed me was the fact that the bungalows gave us access to wifi, air conditioning, and something that I really loved – an HD projector. That’s not something you see in your average hotel. They had showers, laundry service, a coffee station, and I also really enjoyed the room service.
Exploring Nature At Rio Perdido Hotel
The stay itself was amazing, but what we loved was the fact that it’s nestled in nature.
The hotel gave us access to something that most areas over the entire world cannot – and that’s an intact ecosystem. As nature lovers, this was actually one of the main reasons why bae and I decided to opt for this hotel.
We also took advantage of the many activities they had to offer. I particularly enjoyed the Canyon Adventure – it takes you over an entire canon with a zipline. As I zipped over the river, I was able to appreciate the wildlife, nature, and get some of the best views I’ve seen in my life.
We enjoyed the hiking trail as well. Now, when you think about walking in a forest, danger is something that often comes to mind. But, with the way that Rio Perdido decided to design things, we both felt comfortable during the entire trip. The hiking trail really shows you everything there is to see about the rare ecosystem surrounding the area.
Bae convinced me to join in on a session of cliff-side yoga one morning. I was a bit hesitant at first, but it was actually relaxing and fun. It’s part of Rio Perdido’s Meditation Done Right program, and we had some beautiful views to appreciate during the yoga session.
We were also introduced to a couple of adventure options off the Rio Perdido property.
Final Verdict
As a couple who truly enjoys nature and adventure, we were both able to get our fix at Rio Perdido. The hotel was spectacular, and the wildlife was so unique. The intact ecosystem is something that we don’t see anymore in modern-day life, especially with all the building and deforestation happening around the world. I was able to see animals that I thought I would only see on TV, and we had a lot of activities to keep us busy and connected during our visit.
