Just outside San Alfonso, this tranquil lodge specializes in corporate retreats, but has a very nice selection of wood and adobe rooms and cabins that feature relaxing views over the river, hardwood bed frames and vaulted wood ceilings. There's a spa, hot tub and pool, plus the on-site restaurant is excellent.
