Book a Rio Celeste Cottage

"The staff was so nice. Our family booked the villa and it was lovely and right next to the beautiful pool. The restaurant has a nice menu. I highly recommend this hotel if you are traveling from Fortuna back to Iberia airport. It’s a perfect stopping point for an overnight to relax before a travel day and it is only about 45 minutes from the airport."

"Beautiful view. Peaceful place. Good breakfast. A bit far from La Fortuna."

"Great hotel. The owners were very welcoming. The bungalows were modern and clean. The included breakfast was excellent (better than most 4 star or better). Views are amazing. Definitely would return. "

"Everything was perfect, room, view, staff and amenities. "

"Matching every prior review and exceeding all expectations, The Red Sunset at Guanacaste made for a once-in-a-lifetime vacation for our family.From Patrick's first-class hosting (including arranging private night jungle walks and horseback riding through meadows and streams) to a five-star gourmet breakfast cooked just for us while we awoke overlooking Lake Arenal, we felt as if we had been given keys to our own castle for the week.Every detail of the experience has been carefully curated by the host, and he was proactive in anything that we possibly could have wondered or needed. My only regret is that we could not stay longer!"

"Close Arenal volcano , the Mountain View rooms offer unparalleled and breathtaking views of the Arenal Volcano. The access road is not for the faint hearted but you are rewarded with amazing scenery. "

"Wow what a beautiful hotel! Rio Perdido offers quiet luxury in a very natural environment. The staff were fantastic- nothing was too much trouble and they were so friendly and kind. We stayed n an eat bungalow which was perfect for a couple or family of 3- huge bed, couch to chill on, lots of storage, good size bathroom and cute deck with hammocks where we sat and watched the monkeys playing in the trees. The food was delicious with lots of choices for all meals and daily specials. The setting of the hotel is spectacular- set in the forest with lots of areas for hiking and animal spotting. The highlight was the thermal river- I’ve never experienced anything like it- 3 natural thermal pools in the river where the water is fed from the nearby volcano- the hottest pool was like a hot bath! The swimming pools in the hotel are also fed from the river and therefore warm- great for relaxing but a bit small and warm for actual swimming. The hotel offers lots of activities- we did the river tubing which was great fun, and the complimentary hike and yoga( in the beautiful yoga studio in the forest). It’s quite pricey ( converting from GBP) but worth it for a few days of real relaxation in a unique location. "

"room too dark and amenities not working properly staff friendly and helpful"

"Gerardina was very wonderful. The hospitality was the absolute best. I felt very safe and blessed to be there. Would 100% recommend to anyone. And the location was great because it was close to the national park. "
