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!

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 location is wonderful, right by "downtown" Bijagua. Diego, our host, was amazing, accommodating everything we asked and could have thought to want. Amazing value for quality of stay, beautiful garden, amazing atmosphere, and comfortable beds. The pictures online do not do it justice, and we all agreed that the price is a steal! Diego offered to taxi us to Tenorio National Park, and our experience at Rio Celeste was top-notch. Cannot recommend this place enough!
The house is located in a quiet area surrounded by a beautiful garden with many different fruits which our lovely host Diego showed to us when we arrived at the house. Diego was so friendly and welcoming and he gave us many tips for the area. The house is small but super cosy and it has everything that you need, including fridge and a coffee maker. the location is perfect for exploring attractions in the area including Rio Celeste and Sloth tours.
The location is perfectly situation to the El Pilon Ranger Station for Tenorio National Park and Rio Celeste. The owner of the property was so responsive, friendly, kind. The included breakfast was large and delicious, with multiple option. The accommodation was spotless. The restaurant next door was delicious (offered vegetarian and vegan options as well) and service was wonderful. Thank you!
Large balcony view is beautiful! Kitchen equipment in nice condition with large refrigerator. Nice large bathroom with great shower space. Owner very kind and responsive. Short drive to Tenorio, 10 min. Short drive into Bijagua, 5 min. Good restaurants nearby, Blue River Brewery and El Sabor de Dona Carmen. Probably others good too!
The bungalow was beautiful inside and outside in a wonderful location. The warm hospitality of the hosts made our 3 night stay really special. We will be back for a longer stay. The location is ideal for exploring Tenorio NP and Rio Celeste area. It's about 3km from Bijagua on a good road.
This was a great spot. 5 min drive to Rio Celeste. stayed with our 4 and 2 yr old and classic suite was perfect for us. outdoor shower and jacuzzi tub which kids loved. the breakfast was also great. great bang for your buck. grounds were gorgeous, total jungle vibe.highly recommend.
This property was in an amazing location near Rio Celeste waterfall with spectacular views. The open air eco-conscious eating and rest areas were done lovely. We enjoyed ever moment here and would definitely come again. Note: get the dinner/meals - the food is really fantastic.
Such a Gem in the jungle and away from the hustle and bustle.
Super nice staff that did their best to accommodate us in every way.
The horseback ride with David that was organized through Amistad was absolutely wonderful and such a lovely swim in Rio Celeste.
This is my all-time favourite hotel. They have exclusive swimming access to Rio Celeste River. The pool is SO NICE. The dinner is very tasty. The only thing that would make this hotel better is having a gym/fitness centre and regular yoga classes.
The hosts are super friendly. They gave us great tips over breakfast and were always happy to help with anything we needed. They treated us like friends. The location is also great to visit Tenorio Park/Rio Celeste as it is all walking distance.
The family were lovely. The rooms were clean. The kitchen was massive and clean. The gardens were stunning.
Honestly couldn't fault anything.
We were shocked by how nice it was and would recommend it to anyone staying near Rio Celeste.
Our stay at the cacao lodge was amazing. The rooms were immaculate, the breakfast was plentiful and the chocolate making class was a lot of fun. The property was beautiful and we enjoyed the hot tub. Wish we could have stayed longer!
The trail is awesome. The other hotel we tried had a trail as a checklist kind of item that was not very long or very interesting. Heliconias trail is awesome. The hanging bridge...Not so much. The view was also great.
I loved the beautiful grounds and the close location to the Tenario volcano, and the Rio Celeste river. The owners, Marcy, and Brian, were extremely helpful in every way. The included breakfast was definitely a plus.
Trails to a waterfall to swim and to a lookout platform. Nice pool to cool off in. Excellent breakfast included.
End of the road yet a short drive to restaurants in Bijagua. Very nice lodging. Hummingbird feeders.
A lovely family owned place. Amazing breakfast with home grown cacao. The garden was very beautiful! Lots of frogs which Alfredo, the owner showed us at night.
Great location, just accross the street from the entrance to Rio Celeste park.
Cabin was very clean, had hot water, comfortable bed, and great gardens.
