Rio Perlas Thermal Resort & Spa

Speechless. I have stayed so many places in my life and this is the most magical. I sprained my ankle our first day leaving our room. The owner scooped me up put me in a car and Viktor the owner at PURA PORA took me and gave us the most amazing experience. Then gave me a walking stick to get around with. Pura pora is a MUST GO! RIO PERLAS is the most peaceful romantic and friendliest resort Ive ever been too. And by far my favorite spot in Costa Rica. Our second day we ran around town and came back and soaked in the thermal pools by the river. Perfect temperature! Our room 139 is next to a waterfall that pools into a large pond with an outlook. Its located in Tapanti and you can hike around without leaving. Viktor also sculpted the most incredible art pieces around the resort that are fun to find. All in all it was the most memorable and sacred experience that I will cherish for all my life. Cant wait to come back.

Friendly staff . Clean room . Peaceful and love the views

Un lugar metido en la montaña que garantiza calma y tranquilidad, contacto total con la naturaleza, para noches de descanso total con el arruyo del río y mañanas con caminatas en senderos, culminando con una pequeña pero hermosa catarata.

Can't say enough about this hotel. Great place! River is beautiful, good food. nice rooms!

todo en el hotel es excelente, solo el restaurante, la comida no estaba muy buena.... por eso no la pasamos excelente,,,,

The place is so beautiful, You must be ready for walking up and down hill. I recommended to anyone. but.... I was not too thrill with the housekeeping. the place is huge so I suggest to have a golf cart picking up people to take them different places. I was disappointed on our last night at the restaurant, we had bad service. all other days was fine. I also recommend to set some bird feeders around to attract birds. We also had a great time.

Este viaje inició con la esperanza de ser un fin de semana tranquilo y relajante, a la llegada tanta belleza natural lo entusiasma a uno, el canto de los pájaros, el sonido del río lo hace pensar que todo será paz, pero al final uno pierde un poco la calma en la larga espera del restaurante y al recibir la comida fría. Al caminar por los senderos se nota que tienen tiempo de no darle mantenimiento y el jacuzzi de la habitación fue imposible usarlo porque la tubería tiene un olor asqueroso y demasiado fuerte. En fin, la naturaleza excelente y hotel tiene cosas que mejorar.

ES UN lugar hermoso volveré

The hotel description says 2 restaurants but one was closed when we were there. The premises were nice but could use a little updating. The bed was a little hard for my tastes.

This is our second stay here, the first being six years ago for our sons wedding. The resort is a small piece of paradise nestling in the rain forest with a large varied selection of accommodation ranging from the large presidential bungalow with two bedrooms, spa bath and lounge with a bar! to the smaller bungalows /cabinas and wooden cabins, plus two blocks of apartments. The whole resort nestles in several acres of manicured rainforest with well cared for pathways and gardens and the hot thermally fed pool is wonderful to swim in and relax around. The restaurant and bar is positioned higher up to benefit from views over the the resort and offers Breakfast lunch and dinner. The area around Orosi valley is part of the oldest in Costa Rica and the drive around lake Cachi offers fantastic scenery and views. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, all in all a wonderful experience.
