The River House

Lugar muy acogedor, excelente servicio por parte de Frank y sus colaboradores, muy buena comida. A las personas que les guste la aventura recomendamos preguntar por el tour a la cascada el Caimán, hermoso para conectar con la naturaleza

Taz vez que haya piscina o yacuzzi

no está tan lejos de la carretera, por lo que el trayecto no es largo el sitio es tranquilo, privado, lujoso, tiene todo el confort que buscas Frank tiene un trato especial para todos sus huéspedes, con experiencias únicas, y la comida deliciosa

.

Desde el momento de la reserva ya te sientes bien atendida, puedes hacer tus requerimientos directamente con el dueño. Las habitaciones tipo cabaña hacen que el lugar te traslade a lo más natural, sin olvidar lo hermoso del Río que queda a unos pasos; la comida es preparada a fuego lento y es deliciosa, y ni qué decir del café recién tostado y molido. En la noche, puedes disfrutar de juegos de mesa, una conversación tranquila y un vino con snacks por cortesía del dueño.

El camino aún conserva la naturaleza del lugar, por lo que llegar en autos bajos no es lo ideal.

En general nos gustó absolutamente todo, desde la comunicación previo a ir al alojamiento, la bienvenida muy personal que Frank tiene para con sus huéspedes, te recibe cálidamente con una copa de vino o un buen café recién molido y tostado por el mismo, la instalación está diseñada con materiales naturales pero sin perder elegancia y confort. No tienes necesidad de salir del lugar porque tienes conexión directo al río caoni que es hermoso para pasar momentos de relajación y desconexión total. La comida es excelente y las cabañas muy cómodas con un balcón con hamaca para estar relajado con excelente vista natural

Nada que agregar, porque todo nos gustó

Frank est un hote extrêmement prévenant qui nous a accueilli dans sa propriété en ami. La chambre était belle et confortable, le petit déjeuner exceptionnel et surtout nous avons eu le privilège de vivre une véritable expérience éducative et sensorielle a la découverte de la torréfaction du café et du cacao. De belles dégustations ! Je recommande sans hésiter !

Hidden in the lush tropical forest of Puerto Quito, Riverside is more than just a place to stay—it’s a warm invitation into Frank’s home. His personalized hospitality makes every guest feel uniquely welcomed, as if they’ve arrived at a friend’s retreat. The place is located beside the serene Caoní River, so the hotel offers a sanctuary of peace and natural beauty. Rooms are tastefully elegant and cozy, blending comfort with wild surroundings. The BBQ area, styled with an unique American charm, invites delightful gatherings. Angel, always helpful, prepares an unforgettable “pico de gallo” that could easily win culinary awards. Guests are encouraged to bring their favorite liquor and join Frank for heartfelt conversations over aged wine or smooth whisky. It’s the perfect spot to disconnect and reconnect—with nature, and with the stories that bring us together.

Everything was fine!

Beautiful place in the middle of the nature, yet close to the highway. Perfect stay to make a pause before going to the coast or for a weekend!

This home-turned-lodge is beautifully furnished, and lodge was very comfortable (there is air conditioning, something I have not seen in the other lodges). The host, Frank, is generous and very keen on getting to know guests and sharing his experiences. I would recommend this place specifically for those who have a relaxed itinerary as we were afforded the opportunity to have wine on the house at night, and make and sample chocolate from cacao (and more).

Everything about the River House was wonderful. It is a pristine and tranquil bit of paradise, little hills and valleys of trees, and flowering shrubs and plants. Birdsong is a chorus at dawn, and continues during the day. The river winds its way through the tropical forest at the bottom of the property. You can walk, swim, birdwatch or relax in the hammock on the porch of your cabin. The cabins are large and well-appointed with everything you need to be comfortable, including a desk, a sofa and plenty of space for your things. The air conditioning and shower keep you cool when you need a break from the temperature outside. Meals were delicious, made from fresh local ingredients, and catered to each person's requests and needs. They were exquisitely presented, and always accompanied by a pitcher of fresh fruit juice. The warmth and personal attention from Frank, the proprietor, are delightful, and he went beyond all expectations to make my stay at the River House enjoyable and memorable.

The only thing that could have been better for me would have been if I could have swum in the river more. Because of past injuries I wasn't able to get in and out of the water easily, and I was very grateful the Frank made this possible for me. I didn't want to trouble him by asking him to accompany me every single day, although I expect that he would have if I'd asked!

I never imagined that working remotely could feel so refreshing until I discovered this hidden gem. High-speed fiber optic internet covers the entire property, enabling my flawless video calls even in the wilderness. The chalet features a dedicated workspace with ergonomic furniture, natural light, and power outlets. From morning's complimentary premium coffee service to evening wine tastings hosted by the owner, every detail has been thoughtfully addressed.

My only regret is that I didn't discover it sooner.
