First off, we would def come back here! The whole Hideaway experience was great! The grounds are beautiful with a bunch of animals all over. We have a 4 and 5 year old and had so so so much fun. The trails to hike are a lot of fun and really get you out in nature. The river is right here and we swam in the river here. It is very rocky but if you want to get in, we did. Little chilly water but wow is the water blue and pretty! The pool and hot tubs (3) were a big hit and they stay open til 10. We swam til around 8 most nights. It gets dark here around 530ish. We took sloth tour, chocolate tour, waterfalls tour, and river tubing (my kids favorite) through a different tour company (there are many). The hideaway is awesome and it won’t disappoint! Service is amazing all around!

Simplesmente maravilhoso ! O serviço, a natureza , instalações, o rio celeste em si , tudo muito exclusivo e de muito bom gosto .. todas as noites no jantar música ao vivo , comida deliciosa , café da manhã muito bom ! Foram dias incríveis no Rio Celeste …. O Rio è muito lindo e gostoso ! Final da tarde tinha um passeio com um biólogo pra ver os bichos noturnos : rãs, cobras , sapos , etc … O café da manhã era com a visita dos macacos , quatis e pássaros ! Aula de yoga final da tarde ! Considero o serviço e a gentileza de todos funcionários o melhor ponto do hotel! Inesquecível

A Magical Stay That Transcends Expectations Our 9-day stay at Rio Celeste Hideaway Resort was nothing short of a dream. Nestled in one of the most stunning natural settings imaginable, this luxury property feels like stepping into a magical fairytale. The lush rainforest, vibrant wildlife, and the nearby Rio Celeste are truly unmatched—but what elevates this resort into a league of its own is the extraordinary staff. From the start, the front desk team ensured our spa experiences were perfectly scheduled, and housekeeping maintained our casita in immaculate, serene condition. But the true heart of the Hideaway lies in its Food & Beverage team. Led by the phenomenal Nelson, F&B Manager, this group is simply the best team we’ve encountered in all our travels. A special thank you to Paulo, Marcos, Katherine, Ismael, Jason, Josue, Andrea, Manfred, and Cristian—each of whom made us feel not just welcomed but cherished like family. Their warmth, personalized service, thoughtful recommendations, and genuine care created a connection that far surpasses typical hospitality. Every meal felt like an experience, every interaction like a reunion with dear friends. We’ve stayed at other Conde Nast-recommended resorts known for world-class service, yet Rio Celeste Hideaway blows them all away. Though we explored other areas of Costa Rica during our trip, nothing came close to the magic and heart of this place. To the entire team: thank you for making our stay unforgettable. You have created something truly special. Pura Vida, always. 🌿💫 James & Michelle Beers

My husband and I started our anniversary trip in Costa Rica at Hideaway. We are beach people, so I didn’t want to spend our whole trip in the mountains, but it was definitely the highlight of the whole trip. The grounds were amazing. There is hiking on site, or you can just walk on paved paths. The complimentary yoga in the outdoor yoga studio, surrounded by jungle sounds was out of the world. The pool! Stunning, perfectly designed for the environment (with plenty of cover so you can stay during the passing rain - it is a rainforest after all), and with a swim up bar and numerous hot tubs to treat yourself after daily adventures. And the gym! I’m not one to go to a gym on vacation. Who wants to run staring at a wall while you’re in paradise? Well this was stunning and I could not wait to run on those treadmills each day. Glass walls, surrounded by nature, new clean equipment. Just fabulous. Staff was so genuinely kind. We had so many great conversations and practiced our Spanish (although most staff speak English as well). We went tubing on Rio Celeste and we booked that through the hotel. It was fabulous. We also went to Tapir Valley (booked directly with Tapir Valley) and saw 2 Tapirs! It was amazing. We also took the complimentary night hike on site and so so many frogs and snakes. Now the rooms. Just stunning. Super comfortable beds, lovely outdoor AND indoor showers. Private covered patio. Dehumidifier (iykyk). I cannot wait to come back, maybe bring our 5-year old next time.

We had the best food during our trip at this hotel. The staff was AMAZING, everyone was very friendly and inviting. The property is beautiful and kept very clean. We got to see wildlife including monkeys, a sloth and frogs during the night walk. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking to experience natural at its best.

the hotel is exactly as you see it in the photos — no filters, no surprises. Everything exceeded expectations. From the service to the atmosphere, it’s truly a place I would recommend without hesitation. The rooms are spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay seamless. Every detail is well thought-out, and you can tell there’s real care behind how everything is run. Honestly, it’s one of those places that delivers more than what it promises online — and that doesn’t happen often.
