A hidden gem with warm vibes

The family atmosphere enhances your stay, making you feel like part of their community. Enjoyed the delicious meals, especially the fresh and flavorful casado, and marveled at the lively tropical gardens teeming with birds.

Room acoustics could be better, as conversations from neighboring rooms were often audible. The drive to the property is undeniably rugged—definitely recommend a 4x4 vehicle for those rough roads.

Rooms are uncomfortably tight!!! Poor lighting makes it hard to relax. Walls are thin, leading to quite a noisy environment. Room cleanliness leaves much to be desired!!! Be prepared for less-than-friendly service!!!

Swimming in Rio Celeste was amazing, but the wifi really struggled in the cabins.

amazing, amazing, amazing

The semi-private swimming hole was a total gem The family atmosphere was heartwarming, they treated us like one of their own. Plus, the delicious meals at the onsite restaurant were a highlight, especially the traditional local dishes served with fresh vegetables.

recommend 😊❤️

The traditional Costa Rican lunch at their restaurant was fantastic, especially the flavorful Casado with plantains and salad.

stayed at posada rio celeste la amistad for 2 nights, and it was fantastic! the milkshakes were incredible, some of the best in costa rica! the room was super comfy, and we loved the beautiful mountain setting with all the birds around.

We had a fantastic time exploring the lush gardens that felt like a little paradise for our kids. The owners' warm hospitality made us feel right at home, and the on-site restaurant served delicious meals, especially the tasty veggie options that were a hit with everyone.

My kids wished for a pool area to splash around.

Perfect getaway for nature lovers!

We had an awesome stay! The staff were super friendly, especially a lady who showed us around to find frogs. The semi-private swimming hole was a blast, too! Dinner was the highlight, best meal we've had in CR. Just wish the wifi worked better sometimes, but who needs it when you're surrounded by nature?

The place felt like a hidden gem. super clean and surrounded by lush gardens. The staff were friendly and loved showing us around! Breakfasts were fresh and tasty. especially those delightful smoothies. Just a quick walk to the park entrance for more adventures!

No drawbacks at all.

The family running this property makes you feel truly welcome, treating guests as extended family. The lush gardens and entertaining parrots add charm, while the delicious homemade pasta at the restaurant was a highlight. However, the rustic cabins can feel cramped, and the thin walls lead to noise from neighboring rooms, which may disrupt your peace. Better soundproofing would enhance the experience.

the on-site restaurant serves generous portions and fresh fruit smoothies. rooms lack a/c.

The Double Room was comfy, had a small refrigerator, and the quality of the windows was nice—they opened and locked easily. The beds were cozy, and everything was clean. But it was a bit rustic and some spots needed a scrub, especially in the corners. I also wished for better soundproofing since we could hear a bit from the neighboring rooms. Overall, a good stay with some charm!

The cabins provide a rustic charm and a genuine family atmosphere, with delightful interactions from the parrots. Be prepared for mild temperature drops at night, and while the hot water isn't always powerful, the immersive nature experience makes up for it. Engaging with local wildlife adds a fun twist.

It was just a nice choice for a holiday in Rio Celeste with incredible value for money. The huge salad we shared for lunch was absolutely fabulous and filled us up. Make sure to walk to Tenorio Park. it's really close.
