"Amazing location, food, staff, and vibe. Highly recommend"

"Everything in the description is accurate — our stay at Sangregado Lodge was absolutely amazing, right in the heart of the rainforest. The view of Arenal Volcano from both our bedroom and bathroom was breathtaking. Francisco at the front desk was incredibly communicative and helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast at Hibiscus was outstanding. While some activities are a 20–25 minute drive away, the lodge is perfectly situated — Mistico Hanging Bridges are just steps away. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a serene rainforest experience with spectacular views."

"The place truly grows on you. While the property is a bit dated, the people more than make up for it with their warmth and helpfulness. We stayed in a chalet overlooking the volcano, and on a clear day the view was simply enviable. The breakfast staff goes out of their way to make mornings pleasant, and the front desk team is consistently friendly and supportive, contributing greatly to a comfortable and enjoyable stay"

"This hotel is situated in quiet nature. The scenery is calming and so are the rooms. Every room has a view like out of a postcard of the lake and the mountain and greenery. The staff are amazing, attentive and welcome but do not speak fluent English. It allowed me to practice my Spanish and also enjoy the culture even more. The food - breakfast … I don’t know if there are enough words in any langue to describe the quality, presentation and taste. Everything is made in the open kitchen and there is no menu, what you are offered is what you get. You WILL be so pleased and want more. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a great escape. The location is a short distance to the ‘main’ area but that only adds to the feel and experience. Lastly, there are no TVs in the room; the focus is on self and nature. This is a stay for a couple or for one person, depending on the level of rest one is looking for I would recommend and I am looking forward to going back and staying again soon!"

"This hotel was absolutely incredible - so beautiful with every single detail thought of. The room was stunning, clean, and comfortable. Highly recommend!"

"Absolutely wonderful, rough road getting there that is so worth it, get a 4 x 4 rental and you will be in heaven on earth"

"This hotel was amazing. When we arrived they greeted us with a welcome cocktail which we enjoyed in the open air restaurant/bar overlooking Lake Arenal. the room was clean and very pretty. The rooms are individual casitas with small patios in front overlooking the lake. We had a small fridge and a coffee maker in the room, very handy for enjoying morning coffee on our patio with beautiful views. There are 2 pools, one heated, also overlooking the lake. the entire property is meticulously maintained with lawns and lush flowers and vegetation. And the best part is the extremely friendly and helpful staff. "

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 — A Truly Magical Experience at Río Perdido Río Perdido is one of the most extraordinary resorts we’ve ever visited — a hidden gem that exceeds expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with genuine warmth and hospitality. The maids, servers, concierge team, and everyone on site were unfailingly kind, attentive, and made us feel like we were among friends. The resort itself is stunning. Set within a private preserve of forests, canyons, and geothermal wonders, every view feels like a postcard. The thermal river is unforgettable — relaxing, healing, and unlike anything you’ll experience elsewhere. We loved the beautiful hiking trails, restorative yoga sessions, and exhilarating zip-lining. The food was exceptional across all restaurants, with fresh ingredients, great flavours, and flawless service. Every meal felt special. A true highlight was meeting Gabriel and his father — two of the most gracious, passionate people you’ll ever meet. Their love for the land, the community, and the guest experience shines through in every detail of the resort. Río Perdido is magical in every category: service, nature, activities, food, and atmosphere. We can’t recommend it highly enough and will absolutely be returning."
