Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay at Cabanas Rio Escondido. The property is beautiful, and the pools were nice for relaxing in after a day exploring La Fortuna. Our family apartment had two balconies - one in front and one in back facing the river. Check-in and check out were easy, and we appreciated the recommendations for transportation and restaurants.

Very quiet little cabin, near all the activities and a few steps from the trails to the river. Being off season some of the amenities were out of service but we enjoyed the gardens and trails and the covered areas during the rain.

This was a quick in and out for us, just stayed so we would have time in La Fortuna and at Arenal. The home was minimal but just what we needed. The grounds were actually quite lovely, would have explored more if we had stayed longer. Check in and out was easy.

Excellent for a family stay

One of the best places we have stayed in Costa Rica. Large open apaces for the children to run around in, a beautiful river to dip in, a pristine football pitch and very comfortable family rooms with a ery well-appointed kitchen! Credit also to Elias for great communication and a warm welcome. 👍😉

Our family of 5 enjoyed our 3 night stay here. The raging river so close to our balcony was impressive after a few days of heavy rain. Beds were comfortable, kitchen well equipped and we had plenty of space for 5. A couple of minor issues being advertised washer/dryer was actually a paid laundry service and pillow menu did not exist when requested although advertised.

We enjoyed our stay. Our room which was number 3 seemed to have mold and smelled like bug spray. We didn’t use any of the amenities but it looked pretty nice.
