“Great option in the area”
Beautiful resort - large and comfortable suites - don't think there is anything better in the neighbourhood - we only stayed for one night but with hindsight should have stayed a bit longer. The staff is even more friendly compared to other places in Costa Rica.

“Enchanting experience in every way.”
Everything is exquisite about this hotel. All so beautiful, tucked into the rainforest. It was pouring rain a lot of the time and that didn't deter us at all...the pool was heated and the jacuzzis SUPER HOT... Umbrellas everywhere for walking around...The staff was incredible...always smiling and sincerely friendly. Great location for day excursions to waterfalls, night frog hikes, hanging bridges, river floats etc...

“A wonderful stay in a fantastic resort !”
A fantastic resort nestled in the rainforest. Rooms are large and well equipped. The bed is fantastic. The outdoor shower is wonderful. We saw a lot of cappuccino monkeys playing on the roof. Sleeping with the sounds of nature is a great experience. The restaurant is a place to eat. Great service. Trails in the property are very interesting, offering a chance to dive into the Celest River.

“Beautiful, secluded, feels you are in the middle of the jungle but with all the luxury”
I was amazed at this hotel. Beautiful all around. The rooms are comfortable beautiful clean and huge, with your own deck and lounge chairs. The bathroom is great, (indoor and outdoor shower). The premises are awesome, it has private trails that lead to Rio Celeste, where you can even go in the river, something you can't do at the park. You can walk even until the sun starts to go down, the light and sounds are very different that during the day. The pool and jacuzzi very nice. The restaurant and bar very good. Staff is great!

“Overpriced, but nice”
This is a beautiful hotel, around a 20 minute walk from the rio celeste waterfall - but you probably want a car! The food was pretty good and staff very friendly. The room was nice and comfortable.
