"Out time at the Hideaway was absolutely beautiful! Upon our arrival we felt instantly welcomed with a cool face towel and fresh juice. We were then taken to our bungalow by golf cart by the sweetest employee. The grounds and scenery are unbeatable! We had a forest view suite and it is totally worth it! We were able to sit out on our balcony and view tons of wildlife and listen to the chirping of the birds. We also enjoyed all the food and refreshment options with a full service dining area for...

"The Lodge was spectacular and the staff friendly, professional, and helpful. Within hours of arrival, they knew our names. The room was large, private, clean and very comfortable with a large deck overlooking the rainforest, a huge bathroom and our own private hot tub. We did many activities through the lodge (hiking, yoga, night walk, bird watching tour) and the guides were excellent. The food was delicious and very fresh. Each dish was beautifully plated and generous. 5 stars!"

"The location was perfect for seeing Rio Celeste and other rainforest tours. Everyone was really friendly and the food was great. Communication was somewhat interesting because I hadn’t brushed up on my Spanish enough but we made it work! The bed wasn’t super comfortable, shower didn’t get very hot and the walls weren’t exactly soundproof but for the price it was still a good value. I’d definitely stay here again!"

5/5 Excellent
They saved vacation!
"I’ll start with the normal things that you look for in a place to stay. The rooms were clean and new, the location was perfectly situated near restaurants and excursions, the pools and food were both great and the view of the volcano can’t be beat. The thing that saved our vacation was how quickly the staff was to help without question. A few hours before checkout, our 1 year old dropped her only paci we brought down the elevator. We tried to carry on with our day, but her screams spoke to her need for the paci that was somewhere in the elevator shaft. Thinking that all was lost, we asked the front desk if they could look in the elevator. Within 5 minutes hotel personnel were opening the elevator doors, going floor by floor, and laying flat on the ground searching for the lost paci. After checking all the floors, a final last ditch effort found the lost paci and undoubtedly saved mom & dad headaches and misery and the rest of the vacation. It speaks to the hospitality, helpfulness, and friendliness of the entire staff to ensure an amazing stay! Thank you to the staff! "
