Surprises at Hideaway Rio Celeste

Hotel access to the Rio Celeste for a dip. Pool & 3 hot jacuzzis with swim up bar were crystal clean & a nice surprise. 12:00noon checkout is very convenient for hiking to the river in the morning.

Ordering two 12$ cocktails at the fun swim-up bar, asking to make them “doubles” & being charged $54! Would have preferred 4 full size cocktails for the price! Surprise, No bueno.

Un perfetto rifugio!

Staff super gentile e sempre sorridente . Cura nei particolari e nell’accoglienza. Camera molto grande con sala da bagno con doccia molto grande. Possibilità di fare la doccia all’esterno in un piccolo giardino privato molto riservato . Letto molto comodo, stanza silenziosa e patio privato . La cosa incredibile è che l’hotel ha un percorso privato che permette l’accesso al Rio Celeste per chi volesse fare il bagno . Io l’ho fatto ! :)

La colazione andrebbe migliorata soprattutto nella parte dolce. Il pane era vecchiotto così come le girelle con la cannella o gli altri dolci in generale . Molto buona la parte salata in quanto lo chef vi prepara le omelette sul momento .

Absolutely amazing

This property was amazing and truly a hideaway. The room was incredible, the bathroom was clean and spacious, the outdoor shower was a beautiful, romantic touch. Each room is nestled behind well manicured landscaping where you can sit on the patio and feel like you are in the rainforest. The pool was nice and spacious with three jacuzzis and the gym was nicely equipped and very clean. We absolutely loved the delicious breakfast buffet and the amazing service provided by the staff. Their green juice was yummy and if you love spicy sauces, ask for the salsa picante (made there) and Lizano (can be bought at the market in CR). The staff helped us purchase tickets to the Rio Celeste waterfall and it was everything I expected and more. This was absolutely a treat to stay at the Hideaway Rio Celeste. We ate at the local Soda Irma (the plates are huge so beware) and the Blue River Brewing Co while we were there - both were great.

There was nothing we didn't like... maybe - we didn't like that we had to leave so soon :).

Un paraiso

Todas las instalaciones son extraordinarias. Un paraíso en medio de la nada, le hace honor a su nombre como “Hideaway”, pero tiene todo para pasar una estancia maravillosa. El personal súper atento a cuidar las necesidades de los huéspedes y el lugar te invita a desconectarte de todo

Nada, todo estupendo

Pure verwennerij middenin het regenwoud

Het is een prachtige locatie middenin het regenwoud. De kamer is werkelijk fantastisch met een heerlijk bed en gigantische douche. Het zwembad is verwarmd en mooi. Ik was tijdens het verblijf jarig en het personeel heeft erg hun best gedaan met verrassingen en er veel aandacht aan besteed. Het is duur maar het is het meer dan waard.

dat we niet langer konden blijven.

Ultiem goed

We reizen ruim 3 weken door Costa Rica maar dit hotel was by far het best, wat een droom. Je ziet het al bij de entree: de natuur, het mooie hout en het lachende personeel. Het resort ligt prachtig in de natuur, heeft mooie verwarmde zwembaden, heeft grote kamers, een solide gym, prive toegang tot de rivier met 2 eigen trails, heerlijke bedden, en bovenal fantastisch personeel. Wij hopen hier ooit terug te komen.

Het ontbijt was in termen van assortiment en kwaliteit niet alle dagen even consistent.

Amazing! Loved it! Can’t wait to go back again when back in Costa Rica!

Location, staff, guestroom comfort, private access to river

Temperature of the pool was too hot. The interior design of the spa could be more in line with the aesthetic of the rest of the hotel.

Stay here!!!

This is such a special place. It is tucked into the rainforest and located on the Rio Celeste. There is a hiking trail and direct access to the gorgeous river, beautiful pool, tons of wildlife and exceptional food. The staff was phenomenal (thank you especially to Nelson, Jason and Ismael!). Our room and the entire hotel felt so luxurious but not pretentious at all. We were really blown away. Definitely one of our favorite places we have ever stayed. Can't recommend highly enough!

Having to leave!

A wonderful stay in a fantastic resort !

A fantastic resort nestled in the rainforest. Rooms are large and well equipped. The bed is fantastic. The outdoor shower is wonderful. We saw a lot of cappuccino monkeys playing on the roof. Sleeping with the sounds of nature is a great experience. The restaurant is a place to eat. Great service. Trails in the property are very interesting, offering a chance to dive into the Celest River.

Superb

The hotel is surrounded by woods and has a private hiking path to the river. Everything was excellent. Rooms were absolutely magnificent.

The only complaint is the service at the restaurant was slow. The wait staff is very friendly and helpful, but it took a long time for the food to come out.

Sublime place

Gorgeous set up with great connection with the surrounding amazing nature. The service was excellent. The check in lady not as sweet, but she was probably having a bad day. Overall close to perfection. The service by Nelson was impeccable! thank you for the fantastic time at Rio Celeste.

Overpriced, but nice

This is a beautiful hotel, around a 20 minute walk from the rio celeste waterfall - but you probably want a car! The food was pretty good and staff very friendly. The room was nice and comfortable.

For the price, it was absolutely not worth it. The "mountain view" room was overlooking the road (and some trees), which could be quite noisy at times. Overall, the place was fine, but not worth it. We stayed much better places for much less in Costa Rica.

Absolutely stunning.

Everything. The property was pristine and lush. We loved the hot tubs and pool, it was such a relaxing experience after hiking the beautiful trails. Our server, Katherine, was amazing. She had the best recommendations for the most delicious dinner. She made our trip feel even more special.

We didn’t like that we couldn’t live there forever.

Amazing Rainforest Experience

Incredible location in a lush rainforest setting. The wildlife is amazing here and the staff is extremely kind and helpful. Breakfast on site is delicious.. Rooms are very nice and each serves as its own stand-alone cabana complete with a .private garden, balcony, and outdoor shower. Great family experience with a game room and pool - when it's not raining - and trails to hike. Ask about their night walk to look for frogs and other nocturnal animals. Highly recommend this hideaway.

Everything was excellent. Staff gets an A+ and wished we had an extra day to stay and explore the area.

Exquisite resort with well organized excursions, tasty restaurant, and friendly staff.

5 stars all around! The resort is beautifully landscaped with a nice trail right down to the blue river from the rooms. The restaurant is open air, but totally free of bugs somehow and there is a cozy game room with a fireplace and games for a rainy day. The tubing excursion was unforgettable. Staff is friendly and helpful, rooms are huge and include an outdoor shower in a lush garden and a balcony. Would stay again and will recommend to friends.

Absolutely fabulous! Our family loved and enjoyed every moment of our stay!

Fantastic! The houses/rooms are pristine and clean and sit in the lush and beautiful rainforest. Very peaceful and everyone working there is so kind and helpful. The food was fantastic and we enjoyed the pool and the hot tubs a lot! One of the best hotels we stayed in!!

The mattress was a bit hard for my husband. it didn’t bother me though.

Worth It

The entire experience was very special from beginning to end. The room was very nice, with both an indoor and an outdoor open air shower. A large deck with comfortable chairs to watch and listen to the life inside the jungle, which made you feel like you were a part of it. All staff members were friendly and courteous. They went out of their way to make it an enjoyable stay for us. The trails on the property allowed us to enjoy the river without the crowds. We only spent one night, but wish we could have stayed longer!

I could not think of anything to improve upon. The price was quite a bit higher than I would normally pay for a hotel room. I’m happy that we received the top notch quality so that we had no regrets!

Great! Luxury plus comfiness.

After 10 days in rainforest lodging we splurged for this hotel for our last nite. Frankly, it was worth twice the high price! Everything, the room, the grounds, the pools, the food, the staff are all Category Luxe. The great part is that the owners have maintained a Pura Vida rural atmosphere for what is a Five Star property. A neat trick.We even were provided a COVID testing service for re-entry into the US at a reasonable price and one hour turnaround. Ive traveled the world and been in many great places. This place scores in the top five.
