The place, the staff, the food are first class all the way. ##### Joe Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara Jun 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Our stay at Lapa Rios was unforgettable from the moment we arrived. Staff were waiting for us as we got off the ferry in Puerto Jiménez, and after a scenic drive to the lodge, we were welcomed with tropical drinks and warm, personal greetings. The attention to detail and level of service throughout our stay were exceptional. We stayed in the Matapalo Suite, which was private, luxurious, and exactly as pictured online. Set deep in the rainforest with panoramic views of the ocean and jungle, it was an incredible place to relax—and the A/C was a lifesaver during the hot, humid rainy season. We often saw monkeys playing right outside our suite, and woke each morning to the calls of howler monkeys. Dining was another highlight. The food was fresh, varied, and well-prepared, and the staff worked hard to accommodate dietary needs—including gluten-free options for one of our group. We also went on several guided hikes led by fantastic naturalists who helped us spot wildlife and made the treks fun and informative, even for our 80-year-old family member. What really sets Lapa Rios apart is the level of care from the entire team. From organizing personalized activities to making sure we were comfortably checked in for our return flight, every detail was handled with professionalism and warmth. Lapa Rios is the perfect mix of eco-adventure and luxury, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. ##### Barbara Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline Mar 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fabulous Lapa Rios - luxury and wildlife Fabulous stay - luxurious, delicious fresh cooked meals, wonderful setting and wildlife, particularly birds and butterflies.

People who have issues walking should avoid the villas . There are just too many steep steps leading to the main lodge. The roads are not paved so be prepared for bumpy rides. ##### jeffrey Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### george Jul 16, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Although housekeeping worked hard each day to mop the floors and deck we believe the coffee cups and glasses in the room never changed nor cleaned via dishwashing. It appears they were wiped out with a towel in the bungalow. After 5 nights we asked for clean pillowcases since none of the sheets were yet changed. The staff was very nice and friendly and assist you in speaking the Spanish we learned prior to visiting. ##### george Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ankur Jun 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing place, amazing time, amazing people.

Consecuencias: casi todo lo que se pueda ver en Corcovado está en Lapa Ríos y alrededores. Es un todo incluido (con actividades cada 3-4 horas para tener todo el día algo que descubrir). Guías super preparados que te enseñarán a encontrar lo que tú no ves. Excelencia culinaria, zumos maravillosos y esmerada atención. El único pero es la carrera de acceso, son 18 km de baches por una pista de tierra, pero por el camino tb tienes la oportunidad de ver animales y aves, lo cual es un plus y la recompensa final es inmensa. ##### Jorge Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robbie, Dorset, UK Dec 19, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fantastic food and service right in the middle of the forest! ##### Robbie Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan, London, UK Jun 28, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great resort, once in a lifetime holiday.Few snags We had a great stay at the resort. Steps may be an issue for some but we liked being at the bottom of the hill as the wildlife was great, we had more privacy. The bigger issue was the difficulty in communicating with the hotel when you needed something. With no phones in the room, and a big climb to get to reception, it is a bit of a problem. It could be easily fixed by giving guests a radio handset (commonly used by staff throughout the resort). On one evening when we returned to our room, the housekeeping staff hadn't closed the door properly. we returned to find the door wide open. In a normal hotel this is bad, but when your hotel is in the jungle with monkeys, shakers, armadillos, scorpions and ants all in abundance, it is a problem. They hotel was very apologetic, but this kind of thing shouldn't happen in a resort which costs $500 a night. The experience didn't detract away from our holiday though. I would heartily recommend the experience of staying at the resort to anybody. The activities were all brilliant. Wildlife in abundance. The policy of no wifi is welcome to allow guests to completely escape work etc. The food was good, too, though they could focus on giving less choice and rotating the menu a bit. Waiting staff and activity leaders were all great. ##### Jonathan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 14, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Terrific stay We just spent 5 nights at Lapa Rios with our two kids ages 10 and 8.
