Cañas Las Pumas Rescue Center Hotels

"Diego at reception was the most wonderful host."

"This is the best place to stay in the area if you want to be in a serene lake area and close to fortuna. Otherwise stay in fortuna. This property is quaint quality and with amazing hospitality. I hope to return again soon. "

"My stay at Destino Hotel was an absolute dream. The views were absolutely stunning, and the entire design of the property was gorgeous. It truly felt like paradise. Orlando was the best host, so warm and accommodating, making sure every detail of my stay was perfect. The hot springs were incredibly relaxing and a highlight of the experience. I only wish I could have stayed longer. I’ll definitely be back! "

"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. "

"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!"

"El Tigre is a beautiful place to stay. The service from Andrea, Randy and team was amazing…even though the location is remote, we had everything we needed thanks to their exemplary customer service. The hike to the waterfalls was incredible and we loved the villa. Great blend of activity and relaxation. Just a perfect long weekend in the Bamboo House with our daughter!"

"Very responsive. Had coffee and coffee maker. A fence and locked gate surrounded the property. Very attractive grounds. The 4:00 AM neighbors dog alarm was an added bonus. Got our day started early."

"Very helpful staff, good value, and great location. Will come again. "
