"The front desk did not have our reservation and we waited outside a locked gate in a rainstorm for about 10 min. The reception was not warm. We felt like an inconvenience. Even though they have a restaurant it was closed until breakfast. They offered to drive us to town (far away) for dinner. They did not have enough seats in the vehicle for our group so we stayed in and skipped dinner. I think for young locals it’s a great place for family with thermal pools, lake, river and nature. For older...

Top San Rafael Hotel Reviews

Savegre Hotel Natural Reserve & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente lugar para un descanso alrededor de naturaleza"

Dantica Cloud Forest Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful property with tons of dog-friendly walking trails. You feel very secluded in your cabina. It's a little bit of a walk from the parking lot to the cabins, so pack light. The bathroom didnt have some amenities like washcloths and conditioner, but otherwise the room was well equipped."

Hotel y Restaurante El Guarco

10/10 Excellent

"Desayuno bueno , tal vez mejorar un poco la actitud del salonero"

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."

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."

Hotel Rinconcito Verde

8/10 Good

"Excelente vistas! El equipo de trabajo muy atento y dispuesto a ayudar. Muchas gracias!"

La Casona del Cafetal

10/10 Excellent

"Unbelievably gorgeous property and our room Geisha was very clean and comfortable, we loved it 10/10! Staff was very kind and friendly 💖"

Rancho Rio Perlas Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"★★★★☆ A beautiful and relaxing stay with a few disappointments We really enjoyed our stay at Rancho Río Perlas. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and full of charm. The gardens were lovely and well maintained, especially considering the rainy season. The pools were a highlight — particularly the hot pool, which was clean, relaxing, and enjoyable. Our room was excellent: spacious, comfortable, and a lovely place to stay. There were a few areas where our expectations did not match the experience. From the website, we expected a restaurant, pool bars, and more extensive spa facilities. Although these areas exist and look attractive, the restaurant and bars were not operating during our stay, meaning we had to leave the property for lunch, dinner, drinks, and snacks. The spa appeared to be limited mainly to massages booked in advance. The WiFi worked well around the grounds but was unreliable inside our room. Breakfast was somewhat disappointing for a place presented as a spa and wellness destination. The Gallo Pinto was very good, but options such as store-bought muffins and bottled juice did not reflect the healthy image promoted online. The breakfast service could also have felt warmer and more welcoming. Overall, Rancho Río Perlas is a beautiful property with great potential. We enjoyed our visit and would recommend it, but clearer communication about available services and some improvements to the food and hospitality would make it an exceptional experience."

Peaceful Jungle Cabin – 100 Mbps Fiber, AC & Total Privacy

10/10 Excellent

"The house was very clean. It is a little bit off the beaten track, which we enjoyed. It was very private. The host was great."
