Cañas Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Cañas, Guanacaste

"Conveniently located within the town but secluded enough that it was always peaceful like a good hideaway. The breakfast was great and the all day tea and afternoon popcorn was a delight. I appreciated that guests were able to use the kitchen and designated fridge. The deck area where you could lounge while you read, ate, or just enjoy company with a great view was an added bonus. A big thank you to the two guys at front desk. They both were very warm and welcoming, knowledgeable about anything we asked and spot on with their recommendations. I highly recommend this property and will be back again kn my next trip to Monteverde "

"Rio Perdido is a boutique gem in northeastern Guanacaste, about an hour from Liberia airport. Beyond its thermal river and preserved jungle, what truly sets it apart is its people. From the start, every staff member made our stay memorable. Gabriella, the general manager, orchestrates the property with remarkable care. Ykson welcomed us at check-in, Monica flawlessly arranged our activities, and Esteban and Wilfredo made dining a joy. We were fortunate to be there on August 15th, 2025, when the resort marked National Relaxation Day with its first-ever yoga class at the heliport—a magical spot overlooking the forest. The event also celebrated Rio Perdido’s inclusion in the Small Luxury Hotels of the World’s new Wellbeing Collection. Marisol, the yoga teacher, created an unforgettable experience, blending yoga with her ukulele and ethereal singing. But the highlight came from someone special: Johan Jimenez, a 19-year-old staff member who embodies the heart of Rio Perdido. We saw him shine as a waiter, a mixologist at the pool bar, quietly keeping the pool immaculate, and ultimately bringing soul to our private engagement dinner. Bright, kind, and endlessly versatile, Johan is a treasure. Kudos to Rio Perdido for giving us not just a stay, but a memory we’ll carry forever. "

"Lovely chic unique modern hotel. Online check in, restaurant on site, breakfast included. Our room was in the rear of the hotel. We walked a winding pathway outside, past the restaurant and to our duplex room with cute chairs in a covered porch. Clean and bright room. "

"The most amazing property! It has the most stunning view of the volcano from your room. The food and drinks are the best! Pool bar margarita best in La fortuna hands down. Happy hour pool bar drinks and prices were amazing especially the cacique sour! The bartender was always present and he remembered how I liked my drinks the next day. Great bartender! Breakfast was complimentary and delicious. We had dinner and the tenderloin with grilled onions and I added a side of the yuca mash.... the yuca mash are the most delicious mash ever!!! The tenderloin was fire. Probably one of the best meals ever. The property is gorgeous. You want jungle resort this is it! 2 pools one heated and a trail with a hanging bridge. Frog sanctuary. The front desk got us a cab one night to go into town and they were all so super friendly. Bring lots of American cash when going into town and to different sites just alittle fyi for you. Book this resort! It was the best experience ever! I cant wait to come back!"

"We just stayed at La Mansion Inn for the beginning of our trip in Costa Rica and it set a high bar for the rest of the trip! The rooms were cozy and comfortable, good AC, comfortable beds and private porches that overlooked magical views. The restaurant offered a great breakfast that is included but other items available to a low cost and the food was phenomenal. The staff there were the kindest, most attentive, and friendly people that were not only patient with our lack of Spanish but helped us with the language when we showed interest. It is a little bit of a drive to La Fortuna (~20 min.) but is very close to the Mistico Hanging bridges and having to drive a little was 100% worth every trying this facility offers. I will recommend this place to everyone I know and definitely return!"

"This was one of our favorite hotels! We tried to stay an additional night but it was fully booked. The view was spectacular. Breakfast was delicious. It was close to the center of town but far enough away that it felt private. The staff was incredibly helpful, the room was clean, and the shower was nice and hot. "

"The friendliest staff I have ever met on any vacation! The grounds and rooms were immaculate and every staff member was welcoming, knowledgeable, and personable. The food was delicious, the beds were comfortable, and the property was gorgeous. We can't wait to go back!"

"This place offers comfortable rooms and a helpful staff, making it a great place to stay. "

"This hotel is nestled into the beautiful hills of Monteverde. The vista is spectacular and the food is absolutely wonderful. Our multigenerational family stayed here and fully enjoyed the trails, meals and facility."
