8/10 Very good

The property is very unique in that you will see wildlife everywhere. 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.

8/10 Very good

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.

Experiencia inolvidable
Lapas Ríos ocupa una extensión de terreno grandísima. 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.

Wonderful
Excellent stay. Beautiful room with a view of the Guelph and Pacific Ocean into the rainforest, room 9. There are 17 rooms in total, the last being 225 stairs away. Lots of wildlife walking to and from your room. The hikes are well guided. The beach is a short walk downhill 10 minutes away. A shuttle is available at certain times to return or a short workout up the hill to the lodge. The staff are exceptional, kind and willing to do whatever it takes to make your stay complete. The meals are delicious and presented artistically. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed every moment. Wonderful memories!

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.

Terrific stay
We just spent 5 nights at Lapa Rios with our two kids ages 10 and 8. We all loved it. Great setting, great rainforest experience, terrific staff across the boards, and really good food.

The location and views from the property can’t be beat. The food was fabulous, and the staff is incredibly accommodating. Gabriel and Sandra are amazing servers at the bar/restaurant;and Efrein at the front desk is extremely customer service oriented and very kind to work with. Looking forward to my next visit back at this wonderful hotel!
