The perspective of Vulcan Arenal was perfect from this perfectly situated property. Great food ranging from Costa Rican to international, available throughout the day. I preferred their salt water pool to staying at a different resort which featured thermal pools- then we chose to drive back to eat here once more- so good. Just know in advance that you may not drive to your room; must take a jitney.

We had an amazing time at Casa Del Rio. The staff were very friendly at check-in and during our stay. We enjoyed the different pools and the fun waterslide. The villa we stayed in was very comfortable and spacious and we really enjoyed having a grill on the deck and being able to self-cater some nights. We enjoyed the breakfast - there was a good selection on the menu and especially Diego was a fantastic waiter who looked after us and the kids really well. The location is really good - just a few minutes from the town but in a nice quiet location and close to the La Fortuna river and waterfall.

Staying at Rio

Great location. Secure site. Nice hoop court and gym if you want to pump the blood before your eco tours. … be aware that if your room is close to the river, the sound of the flowing water will be loud. … room update was needed as lamp shade was old/rusty; coffee pot had old coffee in it and overall smell was a bit musty. … staff is attentive and fast in fixing issues. … free breakfast is a bonus with a nice variety.

The property is beautiful, we saw lots of different birds. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant ranges from good to excellent. Their signature cocktails are quite delicious and very reasonably priced. Minor issues with our particular room: USB ports that did not work, but plenty of outlets if you have USB cubes. while there is loads of shelf storage there is no place to hang items other than a couple hooks in the bathroom. The biggest negative for us, since we are light sleepers, or the peacocks. They scream all day and all night. If this is not an issue for you you will have a wonderful time at this hotel. It is beautifully appointed inside and out.
