“Wonderful place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We have stayed in an RV site at Rio Raft & Resort several times and have also rented a large cabin for a family reunion. Facilities and courtesy are wonderful! We also cannot say enough good things about the wonderful view and great "walk-about space" near the Guadalupe River. Of course, the fact that we are trout fishers in our family only adds to the allure for this favorite place (of ours) to stay in the winter months.

Room Tip: Pets are allowed only during winter months and only in RVs and facilities other than cabins.

“We loved it and we'll be back.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

We loved it and will be back. Their cabins were very comfortable and stocked with the necessary items and the view from the from the river front decks was terrific . The tubing on the Guadalupe river was great, the river flow was a little low but perfect for the small children. Everyone had a great time!

“We will be back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

We had seven RV spots all together and had a wonderful time. The place is clean with good river access. The staff is pleasant and there is security at night. We come the the guadalupe river a couple of times a year and this was our first stay with Rio Raft Co. We will definatley come back!

“Perfect for the family...start to finish”

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.

“Perfect Retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2011

I stayed with my husband and another couple the weekend of May 13th in cabin 3A at Rio Raft. It was perfect! Price is right, staff is friendly, convenient escort to the river to float, everything you may have forgotten can be found at the property store, beautiful view of the river from the cottage, perfect size cottage for 4! We will be back!
