Extremely friendly and helpful staff! The room was beautiful, clean, and solid! Breakfast was okay and should provide more options. The balcony was cute and well lit. We stayed for 6 nights and it was worth it! They provided the best customer service, including, booking our tours.

The Hotel del Rio was absolutely amazing. The staff was super helpful in all regards from event planning to dining to recommendations on sights to see etc. The rooms were very clean and modern. Every morning they asked about whether we wanted service or not. The on site amenities were very diverse from sports to spas. Even our kids did not get bored. Lots of trails for walking. The rooms were very private as well, I am not sure I saw or heard another guest except for at the restaurant. Would recommend to anyone and would stay there again if in the area. One of the best places we have stayed on vacation.

This is a beautiful resort property and our room was spacious, modern and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the balcony and waking up to the sound of birds and the nearby river. The restaurant is excellent for dinner as well as breakfast. It’s a bit out from the center of town but an easy taxi away.

Staff was courteous and attentive. The grounds are beautiful and the entire complex is gated so you are totally safe. The amenities are well maintained. My kids loved the availability of the soccer pitch, basketball court and gym. We even played a round of tennis. The room(cabin) was clean and comfy. The private jacuzzi on our private deck surrounded by rainforest was a great feature. The layout provided plenty of privacy. The restaurant staff were great and the food was delicious, even for my picky teenagers. The location is just outside of down town so you are just a few minutes by taxi and plenty of options for adventures that pick you up at the hotel. Definitely would recommend!

It’s a great place. We had fun times. Breakfast is awesome. The room are spacious. It has all individual type room so it makes it more cozy. There is a huge shower and separate bathroom so the family can speed up. It also had a king large bed. The place itself had a good out of trees and at the night they had a good lighting. It makes made it very special. We also did a spa and had a great time.

Casa del Río is a true gem in La Fortuna. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature — we saw birds and even monkeys during our stay. The rooms are spotless, spacious, and very comfortable, with lovely views that make you feel completely connected to the environment. The staff truly make the experience exceptional: warm, attentive, and always willing to help with recommendations, tours, and transportation. Breakfast was delicious and fresh every morning, and the restaurant is excellent for both lunch and dinner. The location is perfect — close enough to town and attractions, yet quiet and relaxing. If you’re looking for a boutique hotel with outstanding service, comfort, and a genuine Costa Rican feel, Casa del Río is the perfect choice. We can’t wait to return!

Free breakfast has limited choices, but still good food. The service on our last day there wasn’t the greatest, not sure why. The rooms are clean but had very lukewarm showers-when it’s raining so much a warm shower is appreciated. The hot tub was lukewarm and we would be chilled sitting in it. Again, when it’s raining an it’s nice to sit in a hot tub. Otherwise, clean, great location, nice views at the restaurant. The service started good at the restaurant and then went down hill.
