Overnight stay, hiked Rio Celeste!

Super friendly receptionist and very helpful! We stayed here so that we could be close to Tenorio Volcano National Park. The motel was clean and met basic needs. The attached restaurant was good and offered typical Costa Rican fare. We were not able to take advantage of the tours offered by at the motel but tubing looked like it would be fun.

Great no fuss place close to the local attractions. It has a nice on-premises restaurant. The staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend horseback tours around the property- our family of 4 had a blast crossing the river and riding through the forest.

Le terrain de l'hôtel est sublime avec tous ses oiseaux, le personnel est super gentil, tout est propre, l'air climatisé fonctionne à merveille. Seul le bruit de la rue lorsqu'on est au restaurant est un peu dérangeant mais tout le reste compense allègrement.

Room was tidy but sparse. All you get is the bare necessities (double bed and bathroom). But, the attached restaurant is inviting and the food was very good. The REAL charm of this place is the beautiful blue water stream a short walk away. Great for swimming, or even picnicking. Just make to time your walk when the grounds keeper isn’t leaf blowing, and blowing, and blowing…

We spent the first two nights of our trip to Costa Rica here and I couldn’t be happier with our choice. It is a great location to stop at if you’re on your way from Liberia Airport to La Fortuna. The hotel, staff, property and on site tours were all exceptional! The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable with private entry. We absolutely loved the property with the farm animals and swimming area in the blue waters of Rio Celeste. We did the tubing and horseback riding and both were highlights of our trip. All the staff is friendly and welcoming. Restaurant has good food as well and the complimentary breakfast was tasty. If you have a chance to stay here, do it!

Great place for the family! They don’t have pool, because they have a river in the backyard!!! 😍😍😍😍 The “Río Celeste” is part of their amenities awesome and beautiful!!! Also they are closer to the “Laberinto Katira” a great maze in the zone where you can spend a couple of hours enjoying the challenge of get out of the maze!
