This is our 3rd visit to Rio Mar. We love this relaxed family oriented little resort which has beautiful grounds & a great large pool We noticed some nice little changes. This year we were greeted upon arrival & our bags were taken to our room Some of the lounge furniture has been upgraded. The breakfast had more variety of choices. Frint desk staff especially 'Juniior' was very engaging and helpful. The toilet in our room was older but some iof the public washroom toilets have been upgraded. It would be even better if the toilet in the room was as well. Other than that the dining room staff are always very friendly and hard working and keep everything very welcoming & clean.

Villas are located front of the Barú river. About half a km from the beach. No nature trails in the property, but you can hang out and swim in the river.

The property and the pool are beautiful but O can’t give them a good review . We had to kill three huge cockroaches and two went back inside the shower drain and another escape inside the room. One I can deal in an exotic place but this is way too much (we stayed one night ) we tried to watch a movie but the electricity went out four times and cable took about 15 minutes to reset in between . For breakfast we waited 40 minutes to get help ordering our food . The staff was ok but not everyone was friendly, the receptionist was nice . Bedding smelled clean but very musty . Anyways will never go back , too bad because the grounds are pretty

The property at Villas Rio Mar was beautiful! It is like a little oasis and we were able to see lots of birds on the property. We chose this property because of the pictures on their website showing an outdoor gym and stating that it was a 10 minute walk to the beach. However, the walk is quite a bit longer and they have removed the outdoor gym equipment from the property. It's not a bad walk, just be prepared for a longer walk on a gravel road.

I loved the garden feel of this place, surrounded by the rainforest. We saw toucans and macaws from our room. The villas are spaced throughout the expansive property, so each room has a lot of privacy. The front patio is great to relax in the hammock or enjoy a cup of coffee. The beds are very hard, but other than that, we loved everything about this place. Would definitely stay again!

The basic reason i like this place is no noise exept for rain and the sound of nature

The houses are on on a beautiful property with lots of birds including toucans frequently visiting the many trees. Two great pools lighted at night until 10 pm. Very friendly staff and great breakfast.
