Hideaway Rio Celeste

I cannot say enough about this resort! It is beautiful and peaceful! The resort is in the rainforest and close to many activities. The staff are wonderful and so helpful! This is the best resort in Costa Rica!

👍

Amazing experience. The staff was always super welcoming and nice. The room was beautiful and cleaned daily. The property is only a few minutes from the Rio Celeste Waterfall and the river is right in the backyard of this hotel which makes it super unique. Highly recommend.

Stay at least two days dice if it rains the waterfall and river at national park might not be light blue.

We had previously stated this property and had a fantastic experience. Unfortunately, during the stay, the same cannot be said. There was continuous construction going on around the entire property, causing noise and disruption during our entire stay. We were placed in one of the first five cabins which is closest to the highway. We had never experienced such highway noise which didn’t allow us to relax or feel in touch with the natural environment as a result of it. Our previous stay was closer to the trail head and felt like a magical experience in the jungle.

The property and the rooms were beautiful. There was a baby sloth sleeping in a tree outside our room, and a monkey by the spa. The staff was helpful & the property well maintained. We loved eating at the swim up bar and the walk to the river was a nice treat.

Incredible service from all the staff but a special thanks to Mariano who helped us find a better route so we could also make it to La Fortuna to see Volcano Arenal. He was very generous with his time and super informative. We loved the room and the location in the area of Rio Celeste.

The property is beautifully situated and each room has a covered private deck that feels like you're in the rain forest. It was awesome to sit there and listen to the rain and watch the birds come and go. The property itself and the grounds are beautiful. We used the spa, pool, gym, bars, and restaurant several times and the quality of the experience was always excellent. The staff were all universally welcoming, attentive, and helpful. The only down sides (if you can call them that) are that the pool is heated by the sun and so is always warm (not really refreshing), and the property is located some distance from any towns or other destinations (closest was the Tenorio Volcano State Park, which was a 30-40 minute walk away), so if you don't have a car you will have to arrange for transportation. The hotel was happy to oblige and we used several of their recommended excursions, but that cost can add up if you're there for several days. I would definitely stay at this property again if I have the chance to go back to Guanacaste.

The property is amazing- restaurant was very good — all employees when above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable

I can’t even begin to describe how amazing this property was. I hope to go back one day. AMAZING!
