Hotel Rios Tropicales
Accommodation Options
Our rainforest Lodge offers airy, elegantly simple and well-appointed rooms set in small clusters overlooking the Pacuare River. Each has a private bathroom with stone-lined showers, plenty of hot water, and electrical outlets. Additional lodging options include expanded family rooms with bunkbeds, twin beds, and double beds and private baths. There is a series of bunkhouses set back up the hillside, perfect for school and youth groups, with group bathroom facilities. All our lodging options enjoy hot showers, electricity, and decks for viewing the jungle and/or river.
Premium Rooms
Our premium rooms were renovated in the winter of 2007/08 and enjoy the best views of the river, balconies, beautiful dark native wood furniture of beds and small bedside tables, ample screened in windows with roll-up bamboo shades, and native slate-lined showers. Artwork, furniture, rugs, and linens were, of course, all brought into the lodge via raft, as with everything at our lodge.
Standard Lodge Rooms & Family Rooms
Additional lodge rooms are similar to the premium rooms, without the slate-lined showers and almost as good of a view. The family rooms are basic, clean, and have private bathrooms.
Bunkhouses
The bunkhouses are perfect for school groups and other budget travelers. Each bunkhouse has between 4 to 8 bunk-beds to a room.
Central Community Areas
All of our rooms are designed for you to enjoy a peaceful night’s rest, but not to overly encourage you to stay in your room during your lodge visit. There are no regular tables in the rooms. Instead, ample tables for board or card games, reading areas with rocking chairs, and lazy colorful hammocks are intentionally placed in our open air dining and gathering areas. Prime views of the river, the rainforest, and even the overhead ziplines dominate these locations.
Amenities
Complete Bathrooms with Hot Showers: Absolutely! Enjoy an aesthetically rich native stone-lined shower with plenty of hot water after your day of adventure. Ahh, roughing it was never this wonderful. All private rooms also have private bathrooms. The bunkhouses have shared bathrooms.
Electricity
Recharge all of your equipment in the comfort of your lodge room, thanks to our hydro-powered, clean energy generator. We know it is stressful to the MAX to run out of battery power in the middle of a multi-day adventure vacation. At our lodge, you don’t have to worry about it! Convenient & hassle-free, you won’t have to worry about batteries dying with your equipment. (Ok, you do have to remember to bring your portable recharger. Regular 110V outlets - no adapters needed.)
We do dine by candlelight every evening, and believe that with clean energy we can embrace those items that require electricity in a uniquely responsible 21st Century way.
Walking Bridges and Trails
It is easy to get between cabins, rooms, and the main lodge area, as well as to other areas of our private reserve, through the carefully built walking bridges (including a hanging bridge over the river to access the far side of the reserve. Footpaths are well-cared for and well-marked. We were careful to use existing Indian paths as much as possible, and minimized the building of new trails. A numbered nature trail of about one and a half miles one way highlights most of the trees in our reserve. Steps have been constructed into the steep hillside behind the main lodge area, that lead all the way to the beginning of our exciting canopy zipline course.
On-Site Activities and Eco-Tours
All activities at our lodge and on our reserve are included free for all Rios Tropicales guests. There are no additional or hidden expenses, these are part of our all-inclusive packages.
