We recently spent 3 nights at Rio Celeste Hideaway because I am planning on having my wedding there next June and wanted to scope it out before committing. This place is gorgeous from the second you pull up to the front guarded gate! They meet you with towels and a fresh welcome drink before shuttling you to your amazing room. The rooms are huge not just big but huge. I admit they do smell a little musty t first but it fades fast. There is a pool with 3 hot tubs. They offer massage which I had with Juan Carlo and he was fantastic. The walk to the river inside the hotel was nice and not hard at all. The restaurant had wonderful food. The grounds are just stunning to walk through. You truely feel away from it all.
ALL of the staff that we encountered went well above and beyond. Everyone was always friendly and helpful and could even remember our names. Marilyn is helping with my wedding planning and she was just ao kind and truely excited about my big day. I had a problem with one of their previous employees prior to arriving and the current staff and manager Oscar did all they could to fix the problem. You can tell customer satisfaction is a priority here. We can not wait until we return here!

We spend two nights at this hotel, and enjoyed very much. The plus that it is secluded and quiet, very close to nature, with great facilities - a big swimming pool with 3 hot pools attached to it, a spacious room with an outside shower (very cool) and a mini bar. The hotel has a main area where you can sit, enjoy a cup of coffee and read a book).

I think what really stood out was the quality of the service and the amazing food they serve at the restaurant there - they offer a la carte menu for lunch and dinner and the food is simply amazing - we are all our meals there for 3 days and can honestly say that everything we ordered was tasty, some of the dishes extraordinary, such as the tricolor ceviche, the espresso tenderloin, the red tuna with surimi. Simply amazing. Oh - I cannot forget the chocolate soufflé (one of the best desserts I ate ever). And all - with a smile.
Thank you for a great experience.

The only reason for 4 stars is the price of the drinks. I think they could be a little cheaper. Most expensive beers i paid for in Costa Rica. The food was great and the rooms were very nice. I enjoyed the pool also. All of the servers were very good. Very close to park and also has a nice easy hike to the blue river water on property.
