Independent Rio Celeste hotels

"5 stars"

"Beautiful property in a remote location, with amazing staff. Great restaurant and beautiful well maintained grounds with even beer stocked in the fridge."

"Very cute property with very nice staff on some very beautiful grounds. No pool and no AC, but we did not mind. We enjoyed our one night there. The staff on the property showed us around and was very friendly and helpful."

"Had a lovely weekend stay here. The view over Lake Arenal is unbelievable! Ana was a delight every morning and made wonderful breakfasts. Her sweet cats roaming around on the property was a huge plus for me. Great place to stay if you’re looking for somewhere quiet and undisturbed but still only 20 minutes from restaurants/conveniences. There are toucans in the trees next to the bungalow every morning."

"Great meals. We did not go to the national park but it is not far down the same road."

"Amazing views and confortable room"

"The entire hotel and staff were amazing! We booked a bungalow for three and it was one of the nicest rooms we have stayed in. In addition to the wonderful room, the facilities including the Spa, the pools, the restaurant and the activities all exceeded our expectations as well. The Canyon Adventure (Zipline) was a big hit for our family, and our son was very appreciative of all the meal options he could have that offered non-dairy options. We booked transportation with the resort provided option and it was a great choice for ease and convenience. Five star experience all around!"

"This was a great place to truly experience the beauty of this part of Costa Rica. It is a long drive and one must be careful to take the right roads but we had a great experience and wish we could have stayed longer."

"The property and views were beautiful!"
