10/10 Excellent
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A TRUE HIDDEN GEM IN LA FORTUNA, COSTA RICA! Casa del Río is one of those places that completely took us by surprise. When you first arrive, it is so unassuming that you truly have no idea what is waiting on the other side. But once those great big gates open—WOW! You enter what feels like a hidden tropical paradise tucked away in La Fortuna. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking—lush, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by the sights and sounds of Costa Rica. There are multiple pools, including a waterslide, making it wonderful for both couples and families. We also loved that the property is pet-friendly and family-friendly. One of the things that makes Casa del Río so special is its setting along the beautiful La Fortuna River. Being able to dine beside the river adds another wonderful element to the experience, and Cuenca Restaurante offers beautiful views of Arenal Volcano. Our accommodations were beautiful and comfortable, and having our own private Jacuzzi made the experience even more relaxing. There was something magical about sitting in the Jacuzzi surrounded by the rainforest, especially when the Costa Rican rain began to fall. The entire property has such a peaceful, sanctuary-like atmosphere, and the warm hospitality made our stay even more memorable. We honestly wished we had stayed longer. Casa del Río truly feels like a hidden tropical paradise, and it is a place we would absolutely return to."
