I had everything I needed in a very nice, well kept setting. You need to bring your own coffee but you a have a coffee maker. The setting is very nice with a water stream in the backyard. My room looked at the water stream which was very nice. Communication was great. The price is reasonable and I felt it was a good quality/price report. Would stay here again!

The room was clean, the staff was great the property was beautiful with a lot of nature. Very close to downtown La Fortuna with lot of activities and a free rope swinging river El Salto. Close to many restaurants, grocery stores, fruit markets and a short drive to hot springs and a volcano. My favorite part was the river in the backyard where I swim and relax.Big yard space where my toddler run around, explore nature, took a walk on the trail and play on swings plus the balls in the yard. I would definitely stay here again.

The place was very cute, great location (right near La Fortuna and off the jungle/river). Beautiful place, we stayed for a week. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Silvia. We had a delay to flight, getting rental car, and then checking in (we did not arrive until midnight), yet Silvia stayed up and allowed us to check in late. There was an issue with the water not running and she was friendly and communicative throughout, they got the issue resolved very quickly and she provided drinking water to us. Only complaints are that the shower was cold the first two days and the shower glass was not long enough, so water spilled on the floor and we had to keep towels there. Additionally we wished that there was some sort of dresser to store our clothes. The hot tub also wasn’t working. The back yard area has hammocks to read in and out front by the pool has sitting hammocks which were great. There is also a common area with pool tables, hammocks, grills, basketball, and more. Overall we loved our stay

Wonderful location, not too far from downtown La Fortuna (about 10 min) but it’s far enough from the noise and traffic. Our family stayed for 3 nights and felt completely safe. But what makes this place a gem is the wonderful staff (Silvia, Nicole, and Ana). They made us felt welcome and treated like family. It’s a place I would definitely stay again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay at Cabanas Rio Escondido. The property is beautiful, and the pools were nice for relaxing in after a day exploring La Fortuna. Our family apartment had two balconies - one in front and one in back facing the river. Check-in and check out were easy, and we appreciated the recommendations for transportation and restaurants.
