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 :).

Loved the pool area, the hiking trails, and seeing sloths, monkeys and toucans on the property. The room stayed nice and cool which is very important to us as we are a hot natured family from Texas. The beds are so comfortable and the bathroom is very spacious. Our favorite thing about this resort was the staff! Paolo, Dylan, Kathy, Nelson, and Juan Pablo were just the most wonderful people. I wish I could remember all of the names of everyone there who was so helpful and accommodating. I would give this resort 15 stars if I could! We are definitely going back next Thanksgiving!

We were greeted right away by the cute bartender Anthony with delicious welcome drinks. Rachel at the front desk checked us in really quick and had the room ready for us. Juan Pablo helped us bring our luggage to the room he was always super helpful. The room was beautiful and very well decorated with an amazing balcony overlooking the forest..we actually got a monkey that visited us the one night. All the Staff at this place are so nice, a lot of them are just starting and love that the owner lets them learn as they go..I was lucky to meet the owner Angelo at the bar..he even got me a drink in the house..a very nice man down to earth and from what i heard from the staff he is an amazing boss to work for. the pool was fun..met Josue the bartender/waiter who always had a smile on his face. jason The barista and bartender was also super nice and takes pride at what he does. the one day I decided to have a massage and the guy was so great his name is Juan carlos and recommend 100%.. i came out like new. All the other staff members were wonderful and knowledgeable..Mariano, Katherine,ismael,cristian,Emily,Nahomy. the manager Nelson was super attentive at anything we needed...the cleaning guy Daniel even tried to help me looking for the sloth ..front desk was also amazing with anything we needed Oscar and Manfred great people. we saw lots of animals in this property and our favorite part was the blue river that goes through the property..also loved that Rio Celeste waterfall was not far from the hotel..we actually walked from the hotel all the way there. Can't wait to go back to this place and its wonderful people. Alex and Ted

One of the top three nicest hotels I've ever visited. Hideaway Rio Celeste was absolutely stunning from top to bottom, I only wish we had more time to stay. I had seen the property before and thought it was gorgeous, but was nervous to book a luxury hotel with an unpredictable, potentially crying, infant. Hideaway Rio Celeste was so welcoming to us, and happily provided a travel crib. First of all, the location itself feels like a private oasis and was the perfect halfway point between La Fortuna and Liberia Airport. There's not a ton around in terms things to do and places to eat, but the hotel essentially provides fantastic options for all of that. We only stayed for one night but would definitely come back for longer in the future. The morning before our checkout, we hiked the hotel's exclusive trails to Rio Celeste, and were able to swim in the gorgeous water (which you can't do if accessing the river from the National Park.) There were two difficulty options, and the Armadillo Trail was perfect for us with our infant in his carrier. We ate both dinner and breakfast (included) in the restaurant and it was wonderful. (They're also in the process of building a new Asian restaurant that it seems will be finished soon.) The wait staff was absolutely wonderful, the dinner entertainment was fantastic. Yes, the meal was a bit pricey but was fairly consistent with what we'd found for pricing throughout our stay in Costa Rica. We also had the best time watching the many, many exotic species of birds in front of the dining room window while we ate breakfast. We stayed in an absolutely stunning Garden View Casita. It was so private and so spacious. So many nice touches eveywhere-- including a private viewing porch and an amazing outdoor shower. The beds were so comfortable, the AC and water pressure were amazing. Again, just sad we didn't have more time to spend there. We'll be back!
Nothing.

A luxury hideaway in the rainforest! We loved our quiet, private bungalow with its beautifully carved wooden furniture, canopy bed, and the gorgeous outdoor shower set in its own little walled garden. There is a little trail down to the scenic Celeste River on the property. Be sure to book a night tour to have a guide show you all the creatures you wouldn’t notice otherwise, including venomous snakes! The staff are super friendly and very helpful in booking activities. The nearby hike into Tenario National Park is well worth the effort (there are some steep climbs and lots of stairs to see the waterfall). Tubing on Rio Celeste was really fun. And, at the end of the day, the resort’s pool, hot tubs, and swim-up bar are idyllic. The open air restaurant is gorgeous, the food is really good, and there was live music at dinner. We can’t imagine a nicer place to stay in the area.

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.

Everything is exquisite about this hotel. All so beautiful, tucked into the rainforest. It was pouring rain a lot of the time and that didn't deter us at all...the pool was heated and the jacuzzis SUPER HOT... Umbrellas everywhere for walking around...The staff was incredible...always smiling and sincerely friendly. Great location for day excursions to waterfalls, night frog hikes, hanging bridges, river floats etc...

The entire property is wonderful! Clean, well appointed, "bungalows" are warm and romantic. and include both an indoor and outdoor "garden" shower! The grounds and the onsite nature trail that leads to the Rio Celeste are beautiful and so well maintained. All dishes from the kitchen were exceptional - even the pool side pizza! But the Chicken Curry is the best EVER! But the real gem at the Hideaway is the STAFF! Pablo and Ismail were particularly engaging but every single person we encountered was friendly and helpful! Be sure to hang out by the frog pond at dusk for a serenade of frogsong. keep an eye out at any time for incredible birds and other local wildlife!
There is a little bit of construction going on right now - a small distraction while by the pool one afternoon....

I was amazed at this hotel. Beautiful all around. The rooms are comfortable beautiful clean and huge, with your own deck and lounge chairs. The bathroom is great, (indoor and outdoor shower). The premises are awesome, it has private trails that lead to Rio Celeste, where you can even go in the river, something you can't do at the park. You can walk even until the sun starts to go down, the light and sounds are very different that during the day. The pool and jacuzzi very nice. The restaurant and bar very good. Staff is great!
The only thing that bothered me was that they were remodeling at the time and working all day until late afternoon. There was some noise from the construction, and movement all around outside our rooms.

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!
