We didn't get to the hotel until 9:00pm. The staff was very friendly and courteous and will go out of their way to accommodate your needs. The rooms are individual bungalows. The room is huge as well as the bathroom which has a outdoor shower as well as indoor with jacuzzi tub. Large balcony looking into the Forrest . Didn't have dinner, but breakfast was decent. Very secluded spot. Loved it !!
Dear ivansP9337NC,
We are so happy to hear you enjoyed our accommodations! Our casitas are certainly one of our highlights, with their individual decks and outdoor showers. It sounds like you had a very short stay, please come back again. There are enough activities at our property to keep you busy for a week, and of course, you also have the option to be as relaxed as you like, at our spa, Jacuzzis and pools.

What an amazing place after 10 km of a bumpy dirt road
Needs a few signs 😳just to find it
Once you get there you get greeted with drinks and the hotel rooms are amazing.
Breakfast and dinner and drinks are excellent!
They have a spa and all the activities that you would ever want to do!
The hotel has a walk to the blue River.
We went swimming in the blue River.
You could also go with the guide or on your own to the Volcano national Park and the waterfall is amazing
I recommend not to drive-in at night and to use the SUV
Dear Hikingbunny,
Thank you for sharing your comments with us, we do enjoy seeing the look on our guests’ faces when we greet them with a refreshing tropical drink and they take in our facilities! We are happy to report that the road to the property is being worked on, and it should be greatly improved by the end of the year. There is so much to do inside our property and in the surrounding area visitors could have a different activity planned every day of the week, including rafting, hiking, white-water rafting, birdwatching, hot springs and more. We are delighted you enjoyed hike into National Park and dip in Rio Celeste River.
Come see us again!

Getting to the hotel is very interesting it feels like you are in the middle of nowhere but once you get there is awesome, the place is beautiful decorated, nice rooms, pool, bar, the food wasn't that great but it wasn't terrible either, I loved the balcony on the room but I wish it had screen, I wanted to sleep with the doors open but I didn't want bugs inside the room, has a trail to go to the river that is great because you don't have to leave the hotel and it's close enough to the national park that you can do that if you want a little more challenge. I thought it was a perfect place for the location.
Dear GeorSV,
Thank you so much for sharing your comments with us and the
TripAdvisor community. We agree with you that we are in a privileged location, secluded in the middle of Nature and right next to a jewel such as the Volcan Tenorio National Park and Rio Celeste River. The trail inside our property is a fairly new addition and other guests such as yourself have enjoyed it as well. We will evaluate your suggestion regarding screens for our balconies.
We look forward to you visiting us again soon,
Gabriela Mora and the Team at Rio Celeste Hideaway Hotel
********this is important********
I could write a review about how amazing the room was, or the grounds, or the staff, or even the food but after countless paragraphs of compliments to ever single aspect of our stay you would probably stop reading after the first paragraph. So, for both of our sakes... Stay here! It is the most gorgeous, private, hidden gem of a resort (it's no boutique hotel as advertised) in all of Costa Rica.
Okay, to be completely "nit picky" the roads getting to it are insanely bad. Must have 4wd especially in the rain. Otherwise like my review because I just made it easy for you to enjoy yourself in Costa Rica.
Dear Jarred H,
Thank you for sharing your review with us and with the TripAdvisor community. We appreciate your blunt honesty and we agree with you. Our remote location which sometimes provides challenges is also what makes our property so unique and beautiful.
We also agree that the roads need some work, and we are happy to report this work will start this year and we expect it to be completed by the end of 2016. This should facilitate access to the property and improve our guests’ overall experience.
Please come visit us again very soon!

A wonderful place to stay! Excellent rooms, great location, surrounded by nature, the staff was most helpful and graceful. Do not miss the hike to Teñidero in the Tenorio National Park and do jump in the Rio Celeste trail on the Hideaway property. Rooms were quite the treat. We are coming back!
Dear Marco C,
We are very pleased to hear that our property exceeded your expectations! The hike to the Tenorio National Park is a very unique experience, and you are right, some people stop at the waterfall and don’t make it up to the “Teñidero”, where two rivers carrying different minerals meet and the waters are “dyed” a crystalline blue color thus giving the river its name. Definitely worth the effort to view this beautiful phenomenon.
The trail inside our property that leads to the Rio Celeste River is very popular with our guests and allows you to swim in the river just a few steps away from your guestroom.
We look forward to your next visit!
Gabriela Mora and the Rio Celeste Hideaway Team
