We had a fantastic four night stay here. The rooms are huge but a little rustic. However, the rest was excellent. Great restaurant, awesome food, very friendly and capable staff throughout, nice spa, modern gym, lovely little coffee shop, etc. Some great wildlife around as well. An absolute gem in the middle of a rain forest.

We stayed for two nights and didn't want to leave. This stay was just one of our stops on a longer trip and was by far the best place! Everyone was friendly and helpful. We loved Mariano. The entire place was well kept and clean. Food was excellent. The complimentary breakfast was wonderful. We enjoyed going down to the river although it was rather risky with all the rain. The only thing that I didn't like was the lack of privacy in the shower area. There is a wall but no door so someone could easily walk into the area. We were traveling with an older child, so it wasn't a huge issue, but the rooms aren't really designed for families. Despite this, it was still an amazing place and we would recommend it.

Out time at the Hideaway was absolutely beautiful! Upon our arrival we felt instantly welcomed with a cool face towel and fresh juice. We were then taken to our bungalow by golf cart by the sweetest employee. The grounds and scenery are unbeatable! We had a forest view suite and it is totally worth it! We were able to sit out on our balcony and view tons of wildlife and listen to the chirping of the birds. We also enjoyed all the food and refreshment options with a full service dining area for the complimentary breakfast and the reasonably proced dinner. There was also a swim up bar with food and ddink options as well as a coffee shop. My partner also reay enjoyed the gym and all the nice equipment provided. All around the staff were very kind and helpful going above and beyond. We would recommend this hotel to everyone and will be back when we are in Costa Rica again!

This is a second tome we stayed at the hotel. First time was four years ago and it was quiet boutique hotel, now it's in process of expansion. We love the place and would come back. I included the negative responce about it to inform, not to deter. The highlights: You can walk to the river, it's a short hike, and swim in there, very beautiful spot to take photos. You can see wild life while on property, we saw toucans, sloths, monkeys, red eyed frogs, etc. Liked: Beautiful hotel all around, grounds, rooms, pool, etc. Very attentive service. Everyone is extremely polite and helpful, very sweet. The restaurant prepared good food, we stayed 3 nights and while breakfast had limited variety it was enough to choose from. Had we stayed longer, it whould feel boring. Dinners were very good. They have excelent pool with three jacuzzi and poolside bar, it's warm and comfortable, so that you can spend the whole day in it if you like. Disliked: CONSTRUCTION. The hotel is going through expansion and building more facilities and villas. There is constant banging and havy tools screeching sound. It's heard by the pool, by the restaurant and the rooms. There is no quiet space at all. in addition, the construction is too close to the red eyed frogs habitat, tge small frog pond. I wish they would create another safe pond for frogs, safly relocate them and then build around existing frog pond. It was very sad to see this change from four years ago.

Private individual villa rooms. Large room and love the outdoor shower. Food was awesome, and staff were very attentive, friendly and top service. There is a large balcony, but as for garden view rooms, there is nothing to see there. Thick plants were up to the balcony and nothing to see. Hotel has nice loop hiking trail behind the hotel and trail also takes you to the river, so if you want to swim there, you could. Hotel is conveniently located close to the park and other activities.

Upon arriving, this hotel literally took our breath away. We were welcomed by name and the host let us know that they had been expecting us. The room felt palacious. It was adorned with a poster bed with sheer drapery, an outdoor shower, as well as a huge indoor shower and bathroom. Seriously, the bathroom was like another room. In addition, the view from the balcony captivated even those who later saw the photographs. No detail was left undone. We felt like royalty. It was well worth the money. Btw, it was our 30th anniversary and from the Koi pond to the fireplace dining; from the pool and poolside bar, we were bathed in comfort and care. Even the Chef and serving team supported my Gluten allergy with delicious meal options. As a whole, we were blown away !!! Our experience with the Hideaway Hotel was beyond our expectations. They even had amazing excursions to keep you busy. I can't wait to visit them again. Sincerely, Jane and Matt

This place was beautiful. The rooms are lovely and huge. There's the best staff. Katherine, Josue, Ismael and Jennifer were so wonderful. There's nothing they won't do to make you happy. The pool and grounds are beautiful. The food has many breakfast and dinner selections and lunch can be out by the pool or in the dining room. There are toucans and monkeys and sloth there. The monkeys visited one day at breakfast they kept popping their head down to say hello.

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.

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.

Located in the heart of Costa Rica, the Rio Celeste Hideaway Resort is a paradise for anyone looking for a unique adventure. From stunning views of the Volcano to hiking trails that lead to the famous Rio Celeste River, this resort offers everything you need for an unforgettable experience. The friendly staff is always eager to help and provide you with all the necessary information about local attractions and activities. The beautiful property is surrounded by lush vegetation and exotic animals that can be admired from your balcony or during a nature walk. Moreover, you can enjoy exquisite food prepared by talented chefs in the restaurant on-site called Kantala. And if you’re feeling adventurous, there are plenty of activities available such as tubing, horseback riding and more! We did tubing in the beautiful Rio Celeste river. Our guides Paulo and Carlos made it extra special with their knowledge and enthusiasm for the area. We felt safe, secure, and had a blast! From navigating around rocks and waterfalls to spotting wildlife along the way, we were able to truly appreciate nature's beauty while having an unforgettable experience. So whether you are looking for an adventure or just want to relax by the pool and enjoy nature at its finest, Rio Celeste Hideaway Resort is sure to provide an unforgettable experience. A big thank you to Ismael, Cristian, Nelson, Mariano, Josue, Katherine and others for everything! We will be back soon :)

Stayed here on the last night of a 3-week trip. Well worth the money for a splurge. Nice location, great staff, lovely rooms, and a restaraunt that's way above average for CR. And, we saw a tapir by the roadside on the drive up!

This place turned out to be the most amazing place we've ever been to. Everything about this property is truly awing for us. The way it has been seamlessly cultivated into the surrounding jungle, the beautiful rooms, the quality and elegance of the dining area, the friendliness and service of the staff and on and on... We were lucky to see a sloth and her baby, howler monkeys and all kinds of other birds and animals on our walks around the property and area. There is no better place to experience a true Costa Rican jungle in luxury. I would say this is more of a couples or honeymoon spot. Not really for kids. Especially because this is the real jungle, and even though they take every possible measure to make sure the paths are clean and safe, the Costa Rican jungle is not a place to be irreverent. I tried to go first on all our hikes (they provide walking sticks for more confidence) because we did see an eyelash viper... If you move slowly and carefully you will be fine and you will be rewarded with the most incredible experience.
