You’ll want to be sure you’ve done all you want to do for the day before arriving- roads in and out are a bit difficult but very drivable. Arrive before 2 to enjoy the paths on property, or come in at sunset to rest and dine on site. Would not recommend navigating here after dark. ##### Sara Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jana Jan 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Although accommodations are very basic, this was our favorite stay in Costa Rica b/c the grounds are soooo beautiful. The private hiking path down to the river, with the giant swing, was awesome, especially because Tenorio Natl Park is quite busy—nice to have a solitary hike. Don’t expect to sleep in in silence, as the open-air kitchen gets busy early. Staff speaks very little English (not a problem for us) but are very friendly and helpful. ##### Jana ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location, great price, great amenities. Very happy with my stay. Room was clean and bed was comfy. No AC but 2 oscillating fans in room to keep cool. Restaurant great food. Had breakfast at 7:30AM and then walked to Tenorio National Park and hiked until 10:30AM. On my walk back to hotel, stopped by the private trail that leads to a spot in Rio Celeste that you can swim in. I was a little late getting back for check out, but the lady owner told me not to worry about it. Super friendly staff and just a great stay overall. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shea Oct 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### This place has a cool parrot The staff here was friendly and responsive.

Best of all they have access to the river. It’s a bit of a walk, which was great for us because we ended the day at the National park at around 2 and wanted something else to do. It’s a really great hike with a Fun swing and swimming. We also saw lots of animals walking around the hotel property at night. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9DAF6EF584387447A67A95EB12394A2E4E1CAAC21664982475851.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/81CBD27FD5A0539B1B229B7626DC99434ACDA7021664982472160.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2ABEE508638712496B84186D6BC6A72E132B31F91664982477021.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Shea Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher Jan 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent stay, meals, and location The property is beautiful and we saw birds from our porch. The room is comfortable. It has a relatively big bar fridge. Gerardina is very friendly and helpful and her sister too. They handle the front desk and serve meals. It's a family business. The restaurant has very good food at reasonable prices. It is open on the sides, so you can see the flowers and plants surrounding it. Also, you can see hummingbirds and other birds. The location is excellent, very close to the national park. As for swimming, I went in Rio Celeste - Danta Free River Pool. It is fairly shallow, but a good place to cool off. Just park near the bridge. We also took the Sendero Las Sorpresas and swam there. The swimming area is protected from the current and it's gorgeous. However, the trail to get there has a lot of steps and it is slippery in places, so wear hiking boots. ![In the restaurant](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0882BDE6BD3E8DDF7F806B57064FE80700105D401737432709682.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Rio Celeste and Rio Buenavista merge in the national park.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/21D6049F3AA92D3176410B8C5FBC8C9ADCD1E5E21737432715564.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![In the Tenorio national park.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1CDD6DB91216F7429C0CD3A9CA3CEE31F1D5AE471737432714673.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Blue water in the distance](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D67615C96B8D22D3A2CC1C512D15EA039566731E1737432714409.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christopher Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia Nov 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities You can't get any closer to the hike for Rio Celeste and it is so much better tonight hike first thing in the morning before it gets too crowded and the animals are all still out! This place was so charming and simple. The staff are beyond hospitable and it feels like you are a guest of a family. The restaurant on site is very good and open until 8pm. We loved this stay and are so glad we booked it. The single beds creak a bit but we slept well anyway Breakfast was really good and the sausage was delicious!!! If you want an authentic experience, to see red eyed tree frogs at night and are open to off the beaten path this place was an incredible find at a great value. There is also a shop and another restaurant on the same little road, along with mountain bike rentals. Side note... If you get offered a guide to the waterfall it will be worth every penny! We did this upon arrival and are so glad we did ##### Julia Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tatiana May 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service You get what you paid for. We stayed only one night and it was okay. I selected this properties based on the good reviews. After visiting however, I concluded that the only outstanding hotel in the area was Hideaway Rio Celeste but it was 10 times more expensive than Posada and similar B&Bs. At Posada's cabin you feel a little more comfortable that you would be in a tent, but you have inside bathroom, a shower (cold water only), and a fan, no AC. The owners are really nice people, and a traditional CR breakfast was decent. The real gem on the property was a talking parrot. He made my day (or rather the very early morning :) Good location - very close to the the river and with the private access for additional $5 p/p. We didn't use the private access with a pool supposedly 3 meters deep because it was closing at 4pm when we basically arrived, so we just went to the free part of the river by the bridge and it was good enough to chill out and experience unique Rio Celeste. It is also close to the park if you plan to hike. Safe travels! ##### Tatiana Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Coast Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-The-Coast-Beachfront-Hotel.h18530265.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Guanacaste-Resort-And-Spa.h2190860.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport ](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Secreto La Fortuna](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Secreto-La-Fortuna.h12860234.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Monte Real](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Monte-Real.h10203312.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel La Fortuna](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Selina-La-Fortuna.h19237432.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Lost Iguana Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Lost-Iguana-Resort-And-Spa.h1174121.Hotel-Information) > > [Refugio Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Surf-House.h84012769.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue River Resort & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Guayabo-Hotels-Blue-River-Resort-Hot-Springs.h3969358.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Las Colinas](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Las-Colinas.h4223949.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Volcan Verde](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-History-Inn.h17866818.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Linda Vista](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Linda-Vista.h7064176.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Montechiari Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Montechiari-Hotel.h6986430.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [El Silencio Lodge and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Toro-Amarillo-Hotels-El-Silencio-Lodge-And-Spa.h3940524.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) > > [Eco Arenal Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Eco-Arenal-Hotel.h5964265.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information)
