4/5 - Good

Good meal at nearby restaurant, though it was not the Denny's near the casino. Owner Flor is excellent. Very welcoming and helpful. We would stay there again if and when we return to Costa Rica.

3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
Rio Segundo is alright. Nothing wrong with the area at all. Good place to look into Costa Rican history. I'm just not much of a city person myself.
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
The area is not very nice, but the hotel security is very good and there was no need to get out
3/5 - Okay
Jim&Ruth
We spent two nights in Rio Segundo, when we first arrived in Costa Rica, and again, as we were leaving. Because of its proximity to the SJO Airport, Rio Segundo is a great jumping off spot for visiting the rest of the country.
5/5 - Excellent

Close to airport. Nearby casino was really odd. Only let you bet max bet. Only way to fix it was get small denominations, then go ahead and max bet. After that you can repeat bet,
