Why should you trust us?
The Swank Guide has partnered with Booking.com and Tripadvisor to provide easy booking links for the hotels we recommend. Why? Because it ensures we can get you the lowest price, and it helps us continue to bring you empowering and entertaining content.
This new booking feature does not signal a change in our total editorial independence or in our status as a fully fan-supported business. Simply put: we have no financial relationship with any hotel or experience we recommend. We do not accept bags of cash, Dodgers tickets, sacrificial animals or blushing flatteries. The only way to get recommended by Swank is if we've tried it, loved it and would recommend it to our family and friends.

Swank you!

The Rio Perdido Hotel is an adventure lodge near La Fortuna, and is one of the best resort bargains in Costa Rica with modern stylish rooms set in a beautiful environment.
The hotel’s located in the Bagaces region of Guanacaste Province, surrounded by valleys, a geothermal river and lush forests. The resort’s 30 modern and stylish bungalows come in two sizes and styles, and all of them blend so well with the jungle that surrounds them. All have private balconies.
The resort offers three hot spring pools, naturally heated by the geothermal activity in the area, and a cool freshwater pool to balance your relaxation options.
Rio Perdido has many activities to keep you busy: there’s an extensive trail system for hiking and mountain biking, a zip line course that gives you a bird’s eye view of the forest, and yoga classes. The resort’s spa has a full range of massages and other treatments.
There are two restaurants at Rio Perdido. The main restaurant is right off the lobby and serves a fusion of international and Costa Rican cuisine, and the more casual lunch spot next to the pool. Both places emphasize fresh, local ingredients.
Rio Perdido is about an hour and a half drive from Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport in Liberia and around a 4-hour drive from Juan Santamaría International Airport in San José.
