We purchased a day pass to enjoy the beautiful hot springs at Rio Perlas Thermal Resort & Spa, and it was absolutely worth it! The pools were relaxing and well-maintained, and we also went on a scenic hike that made the experience even more special. One of the highlights was visiting the farm and getting to pet the animals—it added such a fun, unique touch. We had an amazing time overall and definitely plan to return when we’re back in Costa Rica!

Wunderschön

Die Anlage ist wunderschön und das Personal ist sehr bestrebt, den Aufenthalt so angenehm als möglich zu gestalten. Die geheizte Pool (Hot Springs) war der Hammer! Das Hotel ist eher abgelegen, jedoch kann man sich gut innerhalb beschäftigen. Parkplätze sind vorhanden und der Eingang wird bewacht. Sehr empfehlenswert!

El check in fue puntual, las zonas verdes y las piconas de agua termal excelente, desayuno con pocas opciones; el restaurante es un poco caro para el tipo de comida; el señor de bus de traslado a las habitaciones de horas de la mañana amable y servicial, le pedimos a la recepcionista que nos solicitara un servicio de bus de la recepción a la habitación en la parte alta de la propiedad en la noche y nunca llego; no hubo seviicio de teléfono en la habitación y el wifi solo para áreas comunes.
