Hideaway Rio Celeste

Hideaway Rio Celeste

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent stay at Hideaway. The fanciest hotel in this area with a 2025 Michelin Key. Going to Tenorio volano national park was only a 2 min drive. The grounds of the hotel are spectacular. The hotel is nestled in the rainforest and has 2 private trails to rio celeste. We got a free upgrade to a rainforest view room. We also enjoyed a complimentary yoga class with an excellent yoga teacher and a complimentary night tour with a knowledgeable guide. The staff was very friendly. The only negative point is that the restaurant is quite expensive (200-250 USD for 2 suppers depending if you get drinks/appetizers/desserts) and the food was just okay. The breakfast was quite tasty though. Thank you to all the staff that made our stay very memorable."

Rio Celeste Jungle Glamping

10/10 Excellent
"What an awesome place! We were looking for a jungle setting off the beaten path. We were only there one night before heading to the beach and it was awesome! The dome was super cool (and provided some entertaining acoustics that sparked some fun) and the view was amazing. A very cool fog rolled in followed by a good rain storm which emphasized the jungle feel! Extremely friendly hosts and just a fun overall experience. 10/10"

Malekus Mountain Lodge

Malekus Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely magical. Pictures do not do Malekus Mountain Lodge justice - it's truly so special and lovely, a work of art not just a place to stay. Roger and Rosey were kind, attentive hosts. The location was beautiful. We had wonderful breakfasts on site and a fantastic dinner just 600 meters away. With only 7 rooms and an intimate feel, this would be a perfect place for a family reunion, small destination wedding, or friends trip. Do know going in that the rooms are small and intimate, and there is no air-conditioning. However, the climate was temperate and the rooms and lodge are well-suited and comfortable. We loved everything about our stay - except for that we didn't get to stay longer! Already hoping to come again!!"

"We loved our stay at this property, we were shown around by Angie who seemed to be the animal whisperer. Wherever we went we saw all sorts of animals, monkeys, sloths, toucans, humming birds and so many more. It’s a beautiful paradise and we loved every minute we had here. We were sad to have to move on when we did. Thankyou so much for looking after us so well."

10/10 Excellent
"Great location and great host! We wanted to experience living in the middle of a rain forest and that's exactly what we got. The house is situated with a view of lake Arenal. Cicadas constant hum, winds, and the micro weather changes gave us a unique experience. Host Patrick, Elisa and their staff were kind and accommodating. Every morning, we were greeted with great coffee, tropical smoothie, and an array of delicious breakfast spread that gave us the energy to do all the stuff we wanted to do rest of the day. House is big enough for a large family or multiple families. Has a grande pool house with a lot of amenities. Patrick made reservations for our activities and helped us with our plans based on our interests."

Vida Aventura Ranch

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay! Jorge made sure we had a pleasant stay and the staff was really nice. The unit we had was basic but clean, of a good size and well equipped. The breakfast was excellent (you can choose from 3 options) and we also had dinner there twice (there is nothing around), which was also good and well priced. We enjoyed the walking trails. It was a very relaxing stay. Note that the road to get to the ranch is bad so you need a 4x4. Even though it was remote, it was a great base to visit Rincon de la Vieja. We are very happy with our stay overall."
