If you want ultimate rainforest luxury and top level service you should stay here. Not to be missed. Raft in and out via the Pacuare river and be completely enveloped by the forest and river in the middle of nowhere while having high level meals breakfast, lunch and dinner, incredible adventure programs like zip lining through the canopy and repelling down little waterfall. Seriously. 1000% The food was top tier. The service was thoughtful and personal. The staff is amazing. And they have great wifi. In the middle of nowhere. Deep jungle. The rafting is world class. I had a Linda vista villa and it was an absurd amount of space and privacy with a personal plunge pool. Come back from dinner and your lights are on, fan going and curtains drawn. Seriously, stay here. I'm coming back again someday.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (273 reviews)
This was such a lovely stay. The rooms are a really generous size, with amazing views of the river and surrounded by incredible wildlife. You really are in the middle of it. It's also helpful that the airstrip is just on the other side of the river, making it super easy to get there and back (but with so few flights, it's not a disturbance). We had some incredible activities with the reception staff incredibly helpful and the guides super knowledgable and it's clear they love what they do. Manuel in particular was incredible. And even though it rained almost consistently (nothing anyone can do about that), as soon as we came back from activities, the staff were waiting with towels and drinks for us. They also had an abundance of wellies and ponchos, which were super helpful. The only thing that was a little more challenging were the restaurant opening times. As there's literally one restaurant, if you didn't eat before an evening activity or wanted a drink later in the evening (past 8:30pm), you didn't have any options and there was no one to serve you. Minor inconvenience for such a stunning location. And the wi-fi was brilliant, too. And the food was very good.

Does Expedia offer Book Now, Pay Later Desamparados holidays?

Where should I stay in Desamparados?
With loads to discover in Desamparados, we recommend you book a room in a hotel close to its attractions. City Mall, Juan Santamaría Park and Central Park are some top ones to put on your to-do list.

How far in advance should I book my Desamparados holiday?
While not all air carriers release tickets early, it's usually possible to compare international airfares on Expedia up to 12 months in advance. This is the time when you'll bag some fantastic bargains. If you're booking late, there's a chance you could get lucky. Sometimes the cheapest prices emerge only weeks prior to departure.

That mostly depends on you. You can pick from a variety of Desamparados packages, such as a hotel, rental car and flight. You can also book a hotel and a flight, or a rental car with a flight.
