My wife and I took our 6 and 4 year old to Rio this year (2011) for their first river trip. I had been many times as a tent camper. We decided to rent a cabin and I wasn't sure what to expect. It was perfect. Our private patio was aprox. 150 yards from the river front. Awesome view. The room was cleaner than some hotels I've stayed at. It had every accommodation...even cable TV!
We swam in the large swimming pool a couple of times. Very clean pool.
The man at the tube rental for Rio totally hooked me up. The river was slow but honestly that's safer for the kiddos, way I see it anyway. Its quiet at night. Everyone, guests and staff were polite and friendly. Totally exceeded all expectations.
It wouldn't be an honest review if I didn't knock something so...the beds are a little stiff. That's the only negative thing I can think of.
Take your family here. You won't regret it. Ill be back next year.
