Reviews of Posada Río Celeste La Amistad 2 stars

Loved the gardens and it was so quiet. The family was very nice and helpful.

This place is a total Jim nestled in the mountains near the Rio Celeste national Park! Their property also has access to a trail where you can swim in the rio Celeste. The food is really good there and a nice added bonus was a late evening frog tour through their jungle garden after dinner

I liked everything

The food was lovely. The staff were lovely. The parrot was lovely. The views were lovely and the swimming was….you guessed it…..awesome. Would definitely recommend it if you are looking for an authentic Tico experience close to the magical river.

Nada

The staff working at the hotel was super nice! Francini the talking parrot was a great welcome too. Our room was spacious for 5 but did not have air conditioning for those that like it extra cold. It was cool with the windows open and 2 fans. We ate dinner at the hotel which was tranquilo and delicious. Meals were $7-10 USD which are the cheapest we've found in Costa Rica. We enjoyed a peaceful hike down the hotel road with several horses and lots of birds to watch. The hike to the river on their private land across the street was phenomenal. My 5 and 8 year old loved it, it was a little difficult for my non-athletic mom with lots of steep natural stairs down. I would absolutely recommend this place and come back.

I think hot water and AC were the main amenities we missed but would still stay again.

Localisation and kindness of the host

We had a great stay. The hosts were very welcoming. The cabin was cute and cozy. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was delicious. The highlight of our stay was taking the hike down to the river to swim. Worth every dollar. Swam in the rio celeste, most beautiful blue colour.

Remote, relaxing, and a lovely breakfast. Cabins are adequate and fair for the price paid. They are functional more than luxury. The staff/owners were friendly and very helpful. A short drive to town bars, restaurants, activities, etc..

Beautiful nature surrounding you, nice garden. Talking parrot was a plus. Cheap and efficient. Beds were comfortable and the fans kept us cool and comfortable at night.

Had no idea how to turn on hot water in my unit. They do not speak any English so prepare yourself to use google translator. I had no issue with this but I think they were slightly irritated.

Great food on location. The staff are so wonderful - one of the ladies knocked on our door our first evening to see if we'd like to take a walk around to property to look for "ranas" (frogs). The property is lovely, peaceful, quiet, and the dog and parrot were so funny and sweet. Location could not have been better. The semi-private swimming hole was the highlight of our entire trip to CR. Entrance to the national park is a quick 3 min ride away

Great location, friendly and kind staff (Gerardine even taught us Spanish :)) delicious food, beautiful garden and surroundings. The speaking parrot is hilarious.

Beautiful project, very nice staff.

The electricity went out in the middle of the night, which is not unexpected due to location.

The room was clean and the restaurant on site was great - we ate breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. The host, Geraldina, was friendly and easy to communicate with. We paid $4/pp to hike to the semi-private swimming hole on the Celeste river and it was magical. Would definitely recommend!

Very nice site with flowers, many birds. Restaurant very good. Close to Parque Tenorio. Very enjoyable.

Directions not precise in Booking. Hard to find

Location is good. Food in a restaurant was good. The talking green macaw was a huge highlight.

Room was very tight and there isn't much to do in the room. We had two kids and we were glad we were only there for the night. The lighting is really bad in the room. Host wasn't very friendly so I was surprised to read about how great the hosts were because we didn't feel it.

The hostess with her family were super friendly and even told us where to go in the vicinity of the cabins. Even the meals in the restaurant located on grounds were phenomenal.

The Wifi connection was quite poor in the cabins. It was a little bit hard to find the place because the booking location was pinpointed at a slightly different location.

Beautiful gardens. Very friendly staff. Good breakfast!

Trying to find the place. It is importante to know that the Cabinas Rio Celeste is the same as Posadas Rio Celeste.

The milkshakes there are the best I've had in all of Costa Rica! I will definitely take that with me to the grave. I've spent so much money here on all the milkshakes and the smoothies. The fruits here are definitely top tier. The room itself was also very comfortable. We were upgraded to a bigger room, and the beds were super comfy - the property also provides huge warm blankets as well that kept us nice and warm up in the mountains. There were so many birds around here too. Never a dull moment with them!

The wifi was pretty much unusable if you weren't in the restaurant or in one of the rooms closest to it. I was on cellular pretty much the whole time. The staff here also don't speak English, so definitely get your Google Translate ready for this place!

Playing with the parrot 🦜

The location was beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. The staff are some of the nicest I have met in the whole world. You can feel how much they care about you and your stay! We loved the access to food, as you can get any meal from the restaurant.

Nothing!

Great and silent location. Very nice and helpful family. Quite some wildlife on the premises, e.g. frogs. Very delicious breakfast.

Nothing to complain!

Very good restaurant, and others nearby.

Building work nearby. Also, being charged $5 to swim in the river. I'd expected it to be free, and also much closer than it was (there is about a 2km hike each way - mostly uphill on the way back).
