Rio Celeste Vacation Rentals

"Boutique style lodge, AMAZING views of the volcano, great staff. Highly recommend. Breakfast included, 6/10. "

"Stunning location and incredible view from the suite! We sat on the patio for hours morning and evening (and night) just listening to the jungle sounds and taking in the view of the Arenal volcano, was incredible!"

"Such an amazing hotel and absolutely loved the thermal river! Will def go back 🇨🇷❤️"

"This place has us wishing we could stay another week just to enjoy the beautiful view from the front porch of our own little ‘mansion.’ Everyone was so kind and attentive and the food was wonderful! Already dreaming about going back."

"Friendly and helpful check in, spacious, quiet and charming room. Easy access to the property off the highway, but the room felt secluded. We saw deer, acouti, and howler monkeys. Good breakfast buffet and an easy 45 minute drive to our car rental near the airport. "

"Our stay at Casitas Tenorio B&B was the highlight of our trip, if it were available for more nights we could have easily spent several more! The cabin was jungle rustic and also roomy, high ceilinged, spacious, clean, and well appointed - privately sited right in a rainforest parcel in a cozy little enclave of other cabins, trails and the main open reception/breakfast area (we had howler monkeys, a sloth, and amazing birds every single day in the trees above and at our cabin and from the rocking chairs and porches). Don't be concerned about the lack of AC - it was completely comfortable and oftentimes quite cool. Breakfasts were homemade traditional costa rican, including fresh juice and fruit plate - they even adjusted serving time to accommodate one if our early morning excursions. Nana and Jeff were lovely people and amazing hosts sharing their pup Dingo, stories of their farm, an umbrella during a rainy spell, and especially during our amazing homestay cooking class. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with a local neighbor family, being welcomed into their home, learning more about their culture, sharing laughs, and bonus...making (and eating) delicious empanadas and tamales by hand (our teenagers particularly enjoyed the empanada process). Such a special time to truly experince and support local tico way of life and meet beautiful people. A gem of a stay! 10/10."

"We enjoyed our stay at the Lake Arenal Brewery. Dinner and breakfast were great, the facilities were comfortable and the staff was helpful."

"Great view and a fun area. Chef was good and feels like staying right in the rainforest "

"Arenal Lodge was pure tranquility—secluded, peaceful, and incredibly welcoming. The staff made us feel right at home, and the stillness of the surroundings was unmatched. I had some of the best sleep of my life there. Waking up to a breathtaking view of the volcano from the pool felt surreal—there’s truly nothing like it in the area."
