This is the best resort in Costa Rica! ##### Katie ### 6/10 Okay #### jingfei Feb 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities The property is very average for the price paid. The location is nice and close to visit blue water park. And it has its own little hiking trail and access to the river. That is very nice. The service was average. No explanation of anything. ##### jingfei Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nikki May 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Like living in a storybook for a few days. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful and the property is so awe-strikingly beautiful it will take your breath away. Every detail, so incredibly thoughtful. ##### Nikki Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Johannes Aug 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Johannes Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yvette Sep 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing experience. The staff was always super welcoming and nice. The room was beautiful and cleaned daily. The property is only a few minutes from the Rio Celeste Waterfall and the river is right in the backyard of this hotel which makes it super unique. Highly recommend. ##### Yvette Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### koji Apr 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Food and service. Close to the Park Private individual villa rooms. Large room and love the outdoor shower. Food was awesome, and staff were very attentive, friendly and top service. There is a large balcony, but as for garden view rooms, there is nothing to see there. Thick plants were up to the balcony and nothing to see. Hotel has nice loop hiking trail behind the hotel and trail also takes you to the river, so if you want to swim there, you could. Hotel is conveniently located close to the park and other activities. ##### koji Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann Mar 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place was beautiful. The rooms are lovely and huge. There's the best staff. Katherine, Josue, Ismael and Jennifer were so wonderful. There's nothing they won't do to make you happy. The pool and grounds are beautiful. The food has many breakfast and dinner selections and lunch can be out by the pool or in the dining room. There are toucans and monkeys and sloth there. The monkeys visited one day at breakfast they kept popping their head down to say hello. ##### Ann Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Absolutely wonderful! We stayed for two nights and didn't want to leave. This stay was just one of our stops on a longer trip and was by far the best place! Everyone was friendly and helpful. We loved Mariano. The entire place was well kept and clean. Food was excellent. The complimentary breakfast was wonderful. We enjoyed going down to the river although it was rather risky with all the rain. The only thing that I didn't like was the lack of privacy in the shower area. There is a wall but no door so someone could easily walk into the area. We were traveling with an older child, so it wasn't a huge issue, but the rooms aren't really designed for families. Despite this, it was still an amazing place and we would recommend it. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Morgan May 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 complimentary breakfast and the reasonably proced dinner. There was also a swim up bar with food and ddink options as well as a coffee shop. My partner also reay enjoyed the gym and all the nice equipment provided. All around the staff were very kind and helpful going above and beyond. We would recommend this hotel to everyone and will be back when we are in Costa Rica again! ##### Morgan Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew Apr 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Marina May 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities This is a second tome we stayed at the hotel. First time was four years ago and it was quiet boutique hotel, now it's in process of expansion. We love the place and would come back. I included the negative responce about it to inform, not to deter. The highlights: You can walk to the river, it's a short hike, and swim in there, very beautiful spot to take photos. You can see wild life while on property, we saw toucans, sloths, monkeys, red eyed frogs, etc. Liked: Beautiful hotel all around, grounds, rooms, pool, etc. Very attentive service. Everyone is extremely polite and helpful, very sweet. The restaurant prepared good food, we stayed 3 nights and while breakfast had limited variety it was enough to choose from. Had we stayed longer, it whould feel boring. Dinners were very good. They have excelent pool with three jacuzzi and poolside bar, it's warm and comfortable, so that you can spend the whole day in it if you like. Disliked: CONSTRUCTION. The hotel is going through expansion and building more facilities and villas. There is constant banging and havy tools screeching sound. It's heard by the pool, by the restaurant and the rooms. There is no quiet space at all. in addition, the construction is too close to the red eyed frogs habitat, tge small frog pond. I wish they would create another safe pond for frogs, safly relocate them and then build around existing frog pond. It was very sad to see this change from four years ago. ##### Marina Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Nov 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Yes place was amazing! ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Arenal Waterfall Lodge Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-GreenLagoon-Arenal-Waterfall-Villas.h1823811.Hotel-Information) > > [Refugio Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Surf-House.h84012769.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Country Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Country-Inn.h1309591.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Monara](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Monara.h100643692.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabinas Las Palmas](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Cabinas-Las-Palmas.h102212685.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Relax & Hotsprings](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Relax-Hotsprings.h110402847.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport ](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Lands in Love Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Ramon-Hotels-Lands-In-Love-Hotel.h1372764.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Waterfall Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Green-Lagoon-Wellbeing-Resort.h6000473.Hotel-Information) > > [dream rest house](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Dream-Home.h34045315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ribera La Paz](https://www.expedia.ca/Piedades-Norte-Hotels-Hotel-Ribera-La-Paz.h94667109.Hotel-Information) > > [Azul Hotel & Retreat ](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Azul-Hotels-Azul-Ocean-Club-Hotel.h6776980.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Glamping](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Glamping.h76671841.Hotel-Information) > > [Maquenque Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Boca-Arenal-Hotels-Maquenque-Eco-Lodge.h4147006.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel Nosara](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Selina-Nosara.h32620956.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Poshpacker Boutique Urban Tropical Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-ARENAL-POSHPACKER.h68268780.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabinas Piedra Luna](https://www.expedia.ca/Aguas-Zarcas-Hotels-Cabinas-Piedra-Luna.h95878177.Hotel-Information) > > [Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Oxygen-Jungle-Villas.h6042557.Hotel-Information) > > [Good Life Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Good-Life-Lodge.h31807555.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Family House](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Volcano-Family-House.h100387048.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [Sibu Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Rustic-Lodge.h10561215.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Sky Penthouses 3-6BR Condo-Hotel at Oceano Jaco](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Sky-Penthouses-3BR3BTH-At-Oceano.h12093587.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Las Orquideas](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Las-Orquideas.h16250520.Hotel-Information)
