Everything here has good vibes. SUPER friendly owners, Big J and lil J, And Delicious Food! An incredible place to chill overlooking the river, and it has a great breeze every day. Vista Rio is the place to go to stay on the water and still be in town.

Vista Rio is a great place to hang out, eat, and drink- even if you're not staying in one of their rooms. The owners are super nice and the staff is great. Also, the food specials are always worth checking out as they cook some amazing Cajun and other great American food!

Hotel, Restaurant & Marina Vista Rio is a great place to stay when you are at Rio Dulce. Easy access by road (10 minutes walk from the bus station, heading under the big bridge, or take a "tuk tuk" for 50 cents), close to the town center, save and with one of the best views on the beautiful river while...

The Hotel Vista Rio is in a great location - easy walk from the bus and collectivos and launchas. And even the public playground so close was a big hit with our kids. The food at the restaurant is really good and we loved sitting down at the restaurant/bar and catching the late afternoon breezes off the water.. so relaxing.... More

River view rooms will baffle some of the jake brake and disco noise. I just use a fan... and it keeps the mosquitoes off too. The location is THEE best on the Rio Dulce for beautiful views of the river and immediate access to town. This is a great place to live. It's a two minute walk to Ice Cream!...... More

I went for the new back wing at $12 but a prison cell would have been more homely. The traffic noise from the bridge is loud and through the night. Nice restaurant and friendly owner. The clientele in the better rooms are the yachties who tie up their boats in the garden

Stayed 3 nights here in river facing private room with bathroom. Close to bus station and clean and comfortable. Nice bar with very nice food if you choose the dish of the day. Check what time the restaurant closes as we were too late one night at 7.30! We did the hot spring trip at the Finca Paraiso and used... More

We stumbled across this place on the way to the river. Its a great option whilst staying in Rio Dulce. Very friendly and informative staff. You can enjoy a cold beer in the afternoon breeze with great views of the river.

I came here initially to use the Wi-Fi for work, because it stopped working at the place me and my friend were staying. The managers J & J were immediately friendly and helpful - I ate some great food there that night and they even kept the bar open that little bit longer so I could finish my job. We... More
