Fodor's Expert Review Río Celeste Hideway

1 km (½ mile) southeast of Tenorio Volcano, Alajuela, Alajuela, Costa Rica

Set in the rain forest, these marvelous, secluded casitas have elegant furnishings, sizable bathrooms with private garden showers, and terraces that entice you to spend time in nature. There are hot tubs and a massive pool, a gracious dining area and bar, and beautiful grounds with lots of ponds where you may discover exotic rain-forest frogs (and possibly the snakes who feed on them).

PROS

  • spacious, well-appointed casitas in the rain forest
  • terrific pool and hot tubs
  • close to Tenorio Volcano National Park and hike to Río Celeste

CONS

  • restaurant is expensive with limited menu
  • far from other restaurants
