This place is really amazing...I can't understand any of the negative ratings. This has been our second time at the Junto al Rio. I can highly recommend it to everybody. At nighttime you can hear the ocean. In the morning you wake up with all the birds in this oasis. The entire place is very clean and the staff is... More

I had read all the mixed reviews before booking and decided to go for it because of the beach front location. I managed to cancel the 3rd night and received a full refund. We, my husband and my 8 year old son, stayed in the mangles suite and the room was terribly small, with almost no space for using the... More

My partner and I, our twenty year old son and his buddy, spent a week at Junto al Rio just last week. I fell in love with the place and we all had a great time.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to escape the fact the the sewage treatment plant aerator is only a few yards away from the Junto al Rio property.

The staff was so friendly and helpful. The tropical setting was perfect for us. Lots of birds and then the sounds of crashing waves at... More

I booked the trip without knowing that sewage was pouring out right at Junto al Rio since the owner did not bother to tell me. The water was deemed unsafe for swimming. I cancelled the day after I booked. When I asked for a refund, the owner agreed to a refund but with a sizeable penalty. It has been almost... More

My boyfriend and I stayed for nine nights and we loved it. The rooms and grounds are extremely clean, and very well kept by the friendly staff. The overall atmosphere of the place has a family feel and we felt very welcomed. We loved the hammocks and beach chairs, spent a lot of time in them reading and occasionally walking... More

I asked ahead of time foe a bottle of champagne and a six pack of beer to be put in the fridge since I would be getting in very late; the next day when I went to pay my bill they gave me a bill for $105 JUST for the champagne and beer; I'm used to paying no more than... More
