The staff is highly professional and personable. And the rooms are beautiful, have everything one might need. A beautiful stay with gorgeous surroundings. The Pool and hot tub area is spacious and so relaxing!

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.

Such a great time. Loved the property and the staff. We will be back someday!

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.

Wonderful hotel. Service excellent

This is one of the most amazing places I’ve ever stayed in. Luxury in nature. The staff is incredibly friendly

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.

Great food beautiful rooms Excellent staff

Wonderful stay.

Incredible place. Feet like royalty.

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!

Loved it

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 :)

Beautiful property and great staff! Food at the restaurant was amazing as well. If you’re looking for a hotel near rio Celeste this is the place to be. You have your own private springs and the accommodations are stunning. Will be returning!

Lots of activities around. A trail lead to the river. Environment and food are awesome!

Beautiful property and surroundings. Very friendly staff.

THIS PROPERTY WAS BEAUTIFUL AND THE FOOD AND DRINKS WERE AMAZING. DURING BREAKFAST YOU GET TO SEE ALL KINDS OF BIRDS AND ANIMALS. THE VILLA WE WERE IN WAS GORGEOUS, THE BED WAS BEYOND COMFORTABLE AND THE OUTDOOR SHOWER WAS SO RELAXING. I WOULD DEFINITELY STAY HERE WHEN I RETURN.

One of the most beautiful hotels that I ever stayed at. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. The grounds are amazing. Sloths, monkeys and toucans.

Lovely, clean hotel with friendly staff. The trail leading down to the river was amazing! We even spotted a viper on the way!

This is an amazing hotel y every senses! Wonderfulllll!!

Paradise in a jungle. Rooms are spacious and designed with taste. The whole property is built as part of the rainforest that surrounds it. Staff is extremely helpful and nice.

Our first 2 nights in Costa Rica were at the Hideaway and wow! What an introduction! We (2A, 2C aged 11&13) loved everything about the resort and hope to return in the future.

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!
