This is a beautiful high end boutique hotel. The staff was superb, very attentive at every detail. The hotel is right next to the Rio Celeste national park. The facilities mix first class areas like the restaurants and pool with rooms right in the middle of the rainy forest. I really recommend this resort.

Upon arriving, this hotel literally took our breath away. We were welcomed by name and the host let us know that they had been expecting us. The room felt palacious. It was adorned with a poster bed with sheer drapery, an outdoor shower, as well as a huge indoor shower and bathroom. Seriously, the bathroom was like another room. In addition, the view from the balcony captivated even those who later saw the photographs. No detail was left undone. We felt like royalty. It was well worth the money. Btw, it was our 30th anniversary and from the Koi pond to the fireplace dining; from the pool and poolside bar, we were bathed in comfort and care. Even the Chef and serving team supported my Gluten allergy with delicious meal options. As a whole, we were blown away !!! Our experience with the Hideaway Hotel was beyond our expectations. They even had amazing excursions to keep you busy. I can't wait to visit them again. Sincerely, Jane and Matt

This place turned out to be the most amazing place we've ever been to. Everything about this property is truly awing for us. The way it has been seamlessly cultivated into the surrounding jungle, the beautiful rooms, the quality and elegance of the dining area, the friendliness and service of the staff and on and on... We were lucky to see a sloth and her baby, howler monkeys and all kinds of other birds and animals on our walks around the property and area. There is no better place to experience a true Costa Rican jungle in luxury. I would say this is more of a couples or honeymoon spot. Not really for kids. Especially because this is the real jungle, and even though they take every possible measure to make sure the paths are clean and safe, the Costa Rican jungle is not a place to be irreverent. I tried to go first on all our hikes (they provide walking sticks for more confidence) because we did see an eyelash viper... If you move slowly and carefully you will be fine and you will be rewarded with the most incredible experience.

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!

Natureza com excelente serviço !

Simplesmente maravilhoso ! O serviço, a natureza , instalações, o rio celeste em si , tudo muito exclusivo e de muito bom gosto .. só 20 quartos ! todas as noites no jantar música ao vivo , comida deliciosa , café da manhã maravilhoso ! 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, esquilos 🐿️ e pássaros ! O bicho preguiça, no alto da árvore, avistavamos todos os dias ! Muito fofo ! Aula de yoga final da tarde ! O hotel fica na Cloud Forest , floresta nublada, quase sempre está chovendo e nublado .. as 2 trilhas até o rio celeste e a piscina aquecida são atividades legais mas o hotel é pra relaxar e contemplar . Considero o serviço e a gentileza de todos funcionários o melhor ponto do hotel! Desde a reserva o serviço foi impecável ! Inesquecível !!!!!! A Khaterine faz a melhor margarita da Costa Rica ., e os outros funcionários sempre nos receberem muito bem com um sorriso no rosto ! Natureza com serviço incrível e muito bom gosto !!!!
