"An amazing property with incredible views, plenty of hikes and in close proximity to waterfalls. Getting to our room with suitcases was a challenge but once we got there we had spectacular views from the room and a jacuzzi looking down the mountain. We had humming birds fly up to us on the balcony. 😁"

"We stayed for 4 days (group of 9) ages 4 to 64. The view is absolutely gorgeous. The wildlife is amazing. Saw toucans, monkeys greeted us every morning (highlight of our trip). The road from town to house is bumpy, keep in mind it is a little bit of a ride if you wanted to run to town for something. We didn't have any issues, but there isn't a key so when you go anywhere the houses are left open. There is a tiny safe. But the house is pretty secluded. Wil met us to take us up. Due to a family emergency our gourmet chef did have to cancel which was a little disappointing especially as it was later in the evening and we didnt want to have to scramble into town to buy more stuff for our breakfast. But we understand so we made the best of it. Overall, its off the beaten oath but very luxurious and lots of details such as a pool room full of floats and a nice little grill we hot to bbq with."
"★★★★☆ A beautiful and relaxing stay with a few disappointments
We really enjoyed our stay at Rancho Río Perlas. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and full of charm. The gardens were lovely and well maintained, especially considering the rainy season. The pools were a highlight — particularly the hot pool, which was clean, relaxing, and enjoyable. Our room was excellent: spacious, comfortable, and a lovely place to stay.
There were a few areas where our expectations did not match the experience. From the website, we expected a restaurant, pool bars, and more extensive spa facilities. Although these areas exist and look attractive, the restaurant and bars were not operating during our stay, meaning we had to leave the property for lunch, dinner, drinks, and snacks. The spa appeared to be limited mainly to massages booked in advance.
The WiFi worked well around the grounds but was unreliable inside our room.
Breakfast was somewhat disappointing for a place presented as a spa and wellness destination. The Gallo Pinto was very good, but options such as store-bought muffins and bottled juice did not reflect the healthy image promoted online. The breakfast service could also have felt warmer and more welcoming.
Overall, Rancho Río Perlas is a beautiful property with great potential. We enjoyed our visit and would recommend it, but clearer communication about available services and some improvements to the food and hospitality would make it an exceptional experience."
