Top Rivas Hotel Reviews

Alborada Boutique Stay

10/10 Excellent

"10/10 recommendation for couples. Jimmy was a great cook and very friendly. He’s definitely an asset. Room was comfortable and clean. Pool was very relaxing and refreshing. First time in Costa Rica and it was perfect staying here."

Villas Alturas

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great! Property is beautiful with an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean! The food from the restaurant was very flavorful and delicious! Only issue is that there was no body wash/shower gel in our bathroom. Besides that, it was excellent! Would definitely stay there again."

Tiki Villas Rainforest Lodge & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful boutique hotel, service was great. We enjoyed the pool, drinks and breakfast. Room very comfortable, outside shower, coffee machine, with a porch. Everything was outstanding!"

Dantica Cloud Forest Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful and considerate. We enjoyed the view from our room: it appeared to the the best in the area."

Hotel del Sur

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean well maintained secure hotel on outskirts of SI with excellent amenities and awesome breakfast."

Hotel el Páramo

10/10 Excellent

"Todos fueron muy atentos y serviciales."

Hotel de Montaña Suria

10/10 Excellent

"Increíble, espectacular solo les recomendaría dividir las cabañas en 2 tipos, las cabañas para gente con familias, hijos, perros y suegros 😂😂😂😂y otra sesión quizá las Villas Mountain View dejarlas únicamente para la parejas ya que mi esposo y yo fuimos en plan romántico sin hijos y en la cabaña de a la par colocaron a una familia con hijos que corrían y gritaban de un lado a otro."

Golden Pineapple Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful resort very well built, the staff was amazing and the place was relaxing and gorgeous"

Trogon Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I highly recommend The Trogon Lodge. The staff at the reception desk, the restaurant and the bar/café were super kind and helpful. The new manager is doing a great job. Delicious food: sopa azteca, sauteed trout with veggies, chicken stew, egg omelettes, for example. The trout could not be fresher since the hotel has its own trout ponds. (If you like juicy trout better ask the chef to cook it for less time.) The hotel is located at 2,200 meters above sea level (7,000 feet), at the edge of a crystal clean river, with a soothing sound and view areas with chairs to relax. Gardens and mountains around it are spectacular. The beds are very comfortable making it hard to get up. Many stairs and small hills to reach the upper rooms. The trails can be challenging, and I recommend using hiking boots there. Again, highly recommended."
