This was our first stop in our 10 day trip and we loved almost everything about this hotel. The service was outstanding, the aesthetic of the property was impeccable, and our room was divine. The only thing I would criticize would be the prices of the food available. We ordered ribs for lunch which cost $33 and they gave us 2 ribs which were smaller than my 9 year old son's fist. We ended up eating in town most of the nights there. Their complementary breakfast was delicious though.

Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hideaway Hotel. The food was exceptional, and the Mandarina restaurant truly stood out—every dish felt thoughtfully crafted and delicious. The attention from the staff was outstanding, always warm, attentive, and genuinely caring, which made the experience even more special. The spa was incredible—perfect for relaxing and disconnecting. We also loved the trails near the river, which added a beautiful nature element to the stay. Our room was very spacious, comfortable, and perfect for unwinding. Overall, it’s a fantastic hotel for a romantic getaway, highly recommended

Everything was amazing at The Hideaway, from the beautiful room to the absolutely breathtaking property and the wonderful staff. We had such a memorable experience here we will never forget. We did the night walk and saw birds, snakes and red eyed frogs! The food was amazing for dinner at each restaurant, and the breakfast was incredible. Don’t hesitate to book here, you will be lucky to enjoy this wonderful environment.

Hideaway Rio Celeste is pure paradise. Every detail feels intentional, from the breathtaking grounds and serene rooms to the extraordinary people who bring the place to life. The staff’s warmth goes far beyond hospitality. It’s genuine, thoughtful, and deeply human. Umbrellas ready for rainforest showers, air filters in the rooms, beautifully authentic meals, seamlessly organized tours, and heartfelt recognition of special moments. There’s a joyful pride here, a sense of family and generosity that reflects a deep love for Costa Rica. You don’t just stay here, you’re welcomed.

Excellent all around. The grounds, the food, the service, all fantastic. Plenty to do on site and more nearby (though not walkable). If you’re looking for something amongst the hustle and bustle, this isn’t it. It’s a wonderfully peaceful spot to stay amongst nature. Will definitely consider going back!

Lovely hotel that was really enjoyable!

We had a fantastic four night stay here. The rooms are huge but a little rustic. However, the rest was excellent. Great restaurant, awesome food, very friendly and capable staff throughout, nice spa, modern gym, lovely little coffee shop, etc. Some great wildlife around as well. An absolute gem in the middle of a rain forest.

Staff was great, grounds were beautiful, but the price of the food and drinks combined with the poor quality really put a dark cloud over our stay unfortunately…..
