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!

I was impressed by the wood construction which gave it a rustic appeal but with all of the modern conveniences. The king bed was very comfortable and we loved the large deck where we observed many different birds.

Super fun two-night stay in this little neighborhood oasis. Owners are terrific and kind people, delicious breakfast and super filling (was not expecting that, thank you!). As others have mentioned, we sampled their homemade hot chocolate and the owner took us around on a little night tour of the gardens - especially loved seeing the sleeping birds all tucked in among the plants. Room, clean and comfy.
The location within the valley was great, with short walks...
The location within the valley was great, with short walks through the neighborhood to other areas full of birds. There was a very good restaurant about 100 meters away and a well furnished kitchen.
The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean, and sitting on the verandah drinking our morning coffee or a glass of wine in the afternoon listening to and watching the birds was very relaxing and pleasant.
There were panederias, restaurants and markets within easy walking distance of the property.

Absolutely gorgeous area and a must-see for nature lovers!
Absolutely gorgeous area and a must-see for nature lovers! Tenorio National Park was wonderful, although quite crowded, so get there as early as possible. I highly recommend the hanging bridges trail at the Heliconias lodge because it was incredible and hardly anyone was there. We also got to see toucans on the road up there.

The town is essentially a series of businesses along Rte 6, a major road heading North/South. It’s about 1 mile in length. Beautiful vistas coming from the south and heading between the 2 volcanoes of Tenorio and Miravalles. The town is not picturesque but it’s surroundings are. Besides hiking to the waterfall and the lagoon of Rio Celeste, which is an amazing color, there’s not a lot to do (or not a lot to do that you haven’t done elsewhere in CR). For bird watchers, Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge and its boat tours on the river and lake come highly recommended. 2 nights of accommodations is good for most people. We stayed at Finca La Amistad, a working cacao farm, which I highly recommend. Bucolic surroundings, great owner and staff, nice accommodations and a nice chocolate tour makes it a great place to stay.

Great little hike, we were happy to have Jose, as our guide.
Great little hike, we were happy to have Jose, as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and fun. We only wished his english or our spanish were better! We saw lovely birds, including scarlet macaws, a bat, monkeys, lizards. The park has 2 access points and the unofficial one was better as it was more natural and you didn't hear traffic noise.

Be prepared for daily rain squalls even in "dry" season.
Be prepared for daily rain squalls even in "dry" season. Great cloud-forest hiking, especially to Catarata Bijagua--not many wild animals, but plenty of beautiful forests, rushing river, and waterfalls. In Bijagua, Restaurante/Pizzeria El Barrigon -- popular with locals as well as tourists -- has good-value casados.

Great lodges in wonderful garden with ponds, many birds , frogs, plants and trees. Fantastic host Victor who is most friendly, his wife also cooks great dinners and serves healthy breakfasts. Not far from national PARC and the lesser known but wonderful canu negro
The rooms are incredible, beautiful pods in the middle of the jungle with a beautiful view. We stayed here for one night to see Rio Celeste, definitely worth it. The rooms are really special, and the shower looking out into the jungle was a great touch. The gardens in the grounds are worth coming for a visit themselves, we saw so many birds and the hanging bridge experience is breathtaking, plus so great this is included in the price of your stay. Also would really recommend getting the marmalade at breakfast, that stuff is so tasty.
What a sweet little oasis in the jungle! The grounds are beautiful manicured. The pool is beautiful and cool after a day of hiking Rio Celeste. Breakfast was fresh and filling. The family that runs this place is so lovely and kind. I just adored being here. A note: you’ll be fine with Google translate, but knowing just a bit of Spanish is very helpful here.
The place is so beautiful and Alfredo and his family are very welcoming, kind and open people.
We felt like staying with a family.
The garden, the bungalows and the breakfast were all great!
We only stayed for 1 night to go to Rio Celeste, but we didn’t want to leave.
We loved the recommendations and the night tour!
Great location, close to supermarkets and pharmacy, the road from this location to Rio Celeste is the best access road of the area.
Host was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area give us a lot of recommendations and answered all our questions in a friendly manner and with a lot of knowledge.
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!!
really great location, nice balcony with a bar. all the rooms have a balcony as well that I could see. two hot tubs (but don’t get super hot), about 20-30 minutes from Rio Celeste, nice big rooms with a lot of space! owners are very nice and helpful!
We loved our experience in Rio Celeste, the national park was amazing and staying in this accommodation was perfect.
We loved the place, the family is adorable, the garden is stunning and the breakfast amazing. The wifi also works very well.
One of the highlights of our 3 week tour through CR. Unique property, not too hard to get to, close to other attractions (Tenorio, Rio Celeste), and enough to do onsite to spend a couple of days there too. The chocolate workshop is a must!
Prefect location, great staff, easy access to lots of activities. Everyone was very helpful and it is part of what made Rio Celeste our favorite place on our trip.
They offer a great cacao tour. Cabins are very comfortable and clean, great water pressure in shower. Place well located not far from Volcán Tenorio National Park.
Very spacious apartment in central location in Bijagua. Perfect for exploring Tenorio Volcano and Rio Celeste. Big terrace with cozy hammocks and parking on site.
- Delicious “traditional” breakfast.
- Supernice and supportive owners.
- Great location for visiting Tenorio park and close by bathing spot at Rio Celeste.
It is located at an amazing place, in Costa Rica. Close to the famous river. The hotel in itself has amazing facilities, food and nice staff to help you.
Very friendly owner (only spanish speaking), great and huge breakfast, hot water, wifi available for free, very close to the rio celeste entrance (600m)
