Located in a secluded rainforest, adjacent to the Tenorio Volcano National Park, Hideaway Rio Celeste Hotel offers luxurious bungalows with a plasma TV. Facilities include an outdoor pool.

The air-conditioned bungalows of Rio Celeste Hideaway are decorated with warm colours, parquet floors, and elegant wooden furniture. All bungalows have an iPod stand, free WiFi, and a private backyard with an outdoor shower. A luxury hideaway in the rainforest! We loved our quiet, private bungalow with its beautifully carved wooden furniture, canopy bed, and the gorgeous outdoor shower set in its own little walled garden. There is a little trail down to the scenic Celeste River on the property. Be sure to book a night tour to have a guide show you all the creatures you wouldn’t notice otherwise, including venomous snakes! The staff are super friendly and very helpful in booking activities. The nearby hike into Tenario National Park is well worth the effort (there are some steep climbs and lots of stairs to see the waterfall). Tubing on Rio Celeste was really fun. And, at the end of the day, the resort’s pool, hot tubs, and swim-up bar are idyllic. The open air restaurant is gorgeous, the food is really good, and there was live music at dinner. We can’t imagine a nicer place to stay in the area.
