Palmira Vacation Rentals

"This is the real deal! Historic property with great food, great rooms. Had a suite, very nice. We were welcomed by howler monkeys, deer and agouti (which is pleural for agouti). Nice clean pool. 4 star luxury. Stayed on our way to the airport, easy commute 45 minutes."

"Wow what a beautiful hotel! Rio Perdido offers quiet luxury in a very natural environment. The staff were fantastic- nothing was too much trouble and they were so friendly and kind. We stayed n an eat bungalow which was perfect for a couple or family of 3- huge bed, couch to chill on, lots of storage, good size bathroom and cute deck with hammocks where we sat and watched the monkeys playing in the trees. The food was delicious with lots of choices for all meals and daily specials. The setting of the hotel is spectacular- set in the forest with lots of areas for hiking and animal spotting. The highlight was the thermal river- I’ve never experienced anything like it- 3 natural thermal pools in the river where the water is fed from the nearby volcano- the hottest pool was like a hot bath! The swimming pools in the hotel are also fed from the river and therefore warm- great for relaxing but a bit small and warm for actual swimming. The hotel offers lots of activities- we did the river tubing which was great fun, and the complimentary hike and yoga( in the beautiful yoga studio in the forest). It’s quite pricey ( converting from GBP) but worth it for a few days of real relaxation in a unique location. "

"We booked this property on a whim just passing through Lake Arenal for one night. This is definitely a place I’d go back to. The photos do not do it justice!! The individual cottages are absolutely adorable, spacious, and have a killer view. The restaurant on the property is also wonderful—the food is superb! "

"When we enter , we see big spider and lizard inside room and it was appeared night time so many small ants and insects inside room as well .. "

"Gerardina was very wonderful. The hospitality was the absolute best. I felt very safe and blessed to be there. Would 100% recommend to anyone. And the location was great because it was close to the national park. "

"The breakfast was prepared by a friendly staff. The room was clean. The management is uninterested. The pool is adequate yet shallow. The waterslide is a farce."

" A long and bumpy ride up to the lodge. As soon as you check in they force you to pay for breakfast as you are disoriented and tired from the ride. You are told you are not allowed to decide in the morning if you are even hungry. Paid for two for breakfast. In the morning only one could eat breakfast because the other was sick. Asked for a refund for the one, two weeks later never received it compensation. Also Couldn’t even open my balcony door because the outside smell of sewage. Paper thin walls where you could hear everything next door…Too bad as place has potential. "

"The staff were very helpful. We had a tour of the grounds to see birds, plants, bats and a sloth. The breakfast was very good. It was very clean and comfortable."

"The hosts are amazing and make you feel very welcomed. They are some of the best hosts we’ve ever had. Breakfast was so good and the property is very beautiful. We had an amazing time exploring the area while we were there. I stayed with two young boys and they loved it here. "
