This is a beautiful property with lush vegetation all around. The "rooms" are actually stand alone cabins. Our room with a King size bed and side bed (for a child or teen, who was not with us), was the largest room we have stayed in - at this price range. The hotel uses the efficiencies of the new digital age, ranging from communicating through What's App with the front desk to inserting the room card key to activate the electricity in the room.

The property is stunning, the service at the front desk was extremely helpful (thanks Camila!) The area within the gates of the hotel was fun to explore with multiple pools and a lago full of fish, and plenty of things to do without even leaving the property. The restaurant was incredible: the service of Diego, Diego, and Andres was superb and the food was always top notch. We loved the free breakfast that always started with fruit! We would stay in this place again in a heartbeat.

This is a beautiful property, lush, beautiful grounds. Excellent staff. Great breakfast! Felt very safe. Pool area were very nice. Convenient location! Open common area. Don’t leave food out because raccoons will come in. Unexpected shared bathroom areas and no locks on bathroom doors. A few utensils would be nice, bu overall a VERY nice place and would go back again.

The property was far more elegant than we’d expected! The rooms were beautifully decorated and spacious. The reception staff was friendly and helpful in every way. The restaurant staff was awesome, and the food was delicious! The property was like an oasis, with the river running by, visible from the inviting lobby. It was very safe and convenient, too. I’m so glad we found and were able to stay there!

Everything was amazing! Excellent service, the grounds are pristine and beautiful. We had a little hiccup with the shower water not getting hot but it was taking care of quite quickly. The restaurant food was great quality and delicious. Close to everything, yet like we were off the beaten path.

Super duper safe! 2 security features at property. We felt safe to leave anything in our car at property, since you are behind a gate. Room was lovely, nice balcony, pool and hot tub were also lovely. A ton of plants, trees and flowers everywhere you look! We didn’t really enjoy the breakfast options, long wait times to get food, which is all made to order, so we ate out in the city while we stayed there. We would definitely book again here. We didn’t get the tour when we checked in, but it looked like there was a lot more on the property.

Wow, what an incredible experience! Our group was blown away by Casa Del Rio. There was 11 of us total (7 adults and 4 kids). We rented the family villa and another 2 bedroom. The grounds were beautiful and the staff was incredibly helpful and kind. The breakfast was so great to wake up to. Our kids loved the fun waterslide and swimming in the different pools. A great way to escape and unwind. We hope to be back one day!!

This property was very close to all the restaurants and points of interest. We felt very safe as there was a guarded gate with a large security door. Our room (Machaca room) was very comfortable. I like how the AC unit is not blowing on us directly. The bathroom including shower was very large. There was a Smart TV in the room which allowed us to watch Netflix at night. The only complaints were there was no where to hang our cloths as the large closet only had shelves and there was no coffee creamer/whitener provided for the coffee in the room. However, there is complementary specialty coffee provided in the gift shop beside the reception desk (found that out on our last day). The breakfast was excellent and they even made us waffles and pancakes when we requested it. We swam in one of the pools and we were the only ones at the pool. It was very nice and secluded. I loved all the animals. We could see howler monkeys from our balcony. On the hotel site there were lots of geese and ducks. I would highly recommend this hotel.
