"We purchased a day pass to enjoy the beautiful hot springs at Rio Perlas Thermal Resort & Spa, and it was absolutely worth it! The pools were relaxing and well-maintained, and we also went on a scenic hike that made the experience even more special. One of the highlights was visiting the farm and getting to pet the animals—it added such a fun, unique touch. We had an amazing time overall and definitely plan to return when we’re back in Costa Rica!"

8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (27 reviews)
"This is the perfect tranquil place to relax and enjoy both Costa Rican nature and the beauty of the beach and pacific ocean. The atomosphere is quiet, the staff is kind and accommodating, the property grounds are maintained well, the rooms are comfortable. Access to pool and food is convenient. I love the hammocks everywhere to lounge in. The location is close enough to Quepos and Jaco for a day trip to check out the touristy areas but remote enough to get away. This is our second stay here...
