Welcome to Hotel Rivel
Wake to the chorus of tropical birds in the heart of the Costa Rican jungle. At Hotel Rivel, nature's song greets you every morning.
Costa Rica is a global paradise for bird watchers, home to extraordinary biodiversity in one of the world's most pristine natural environments. From cloud forests to coastal lowlands, every ecosystem pulses with life.
A vibrant chorus of colors and calls — from tiny hummingbirds to majestic quetzals — thrive in Costa Rica’s protected forests.
Cloud forests, coastal mangroves, lowland jungles, and volcanic highlands — a mosaic of habitats teeming with diversity.
More than a saying — it’s a way of life that celebrates harmony between people, wildlife, and the natural world.
