Rio Celeste Hotel with Pool

"The hotel is a charming old but super clean and comfy place overlooking an unreal view of tge volcano, lake and horses. "

"The staff was so nice. Our family booked the villa and it was lovely and right next to the beautiful pool. The restaurant has a nice menu. I highly recommend this hotel if you are traveling from Fortuna back to Iberia airport. It’s a perfect stopping point for an overnight to relax before a travel day and it is only about 45 minutes from the airport."

"Close Arenal volcano , the Mountain View rooms offer unparalleled and breathtaking views of the Arenal Volcano. The access road is not for the faint hearted but you are rewarded with amazing scenery. "

"Wow what a beautiful hotel! Rio Perdido offers quiet luxury in a very natural environment. The staff were fantastic- nothing was too much trouble and they were so friendly and kind. We stayed n an eat bungalow which was perfect for a couple or family of 3- huge bed, couch to chill on, lots of storage, good size bathroom and cute deck with hammocks where we sat and watched the monkeys playing in the trees. The food was delicious with lots of choices for all meals and daily specials. The setting of the hotel is spectacular- set in the forest with lots of areas for hiking and animal spotting. The highlight was the thermal river- I’ve never experienced anything like it- 3 natural thermal pools in the river where the water is fed from the nearby volcano- the hottest pool was like a hot bath! The swimming pools in the hotel are also fed from the river and therefore warm- great for relaxing but a bit small and warm for actual swimming. The hotel offers lots of activities- we did the river tubing which was great fun, and the complimentary hike and yoga( in the beautiful yoga studio in the forest). It’s quite pricey ( converting from GBP) but worth it for a few days of real relaxation in a unique location. "

"room too dark and amenities not working properly staff friendly and helpful"

" A long and bumpy ride up to the lodge. As soon as you check in they force you to pay for breakfast as you are disoriented and tired from the ride. You are told you are not allowed to decide in the morning if you are even hungry. Paid for two for breakfast. In the morning only one could eat breakfast because the other was sick. Asked for a refund for the one, two weeks later never received it compensation. Also Couldn’t even open my balcony door because the outside smell of sewage. Paper thin walls where you could hear everything next door…Too bad as place has potential. "
