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.

The resort is very family friendly. It is in a beautiful location right next to the river and just up the road from downtown Dominical.

Great stay. Out of all the places we stayed on our trip to Costa Rica I would say the staff and guests at this place were the friendliest. The atmosphere is family-friendly and quiet. We lucked out and stayed during a time when many Costa Ricans vacation. We met so many local families. I think it’s a good sign when locals themselves stay at the hotel. We enjoyed the food, the pool and the location to the beach is walkable. We were tucked away far enough where it was quiet and safe. We saw many iguanas, Toucans, butterflies and we could hear Howler Monkeys in the distance. You can take the trail behind the hotel to view them. The rooms are large enough and comfortable but the location and friendly vibe is what sells this place. I would stay here again!
