Hotels with free breakfast in Rio Celeste, Alajuela Province

"Fabulous hotel in stunning location!! Fabulous pool to swim in and huge hot tub to soak in after all those hikes"

"Amazing resort that has many activities, and great to relax in as well. Location, rooms, food all top notch and service is next level."

"Pros: Incredible views (even better than expected) Friendly and helpful staff Good breakfast Cons: Location is quite far from most attractions and restaurants Steep, intimidating driveway (gets easier, but still slow to navigate) Rooms are dated; we also had a few critters in ours A/C didn’t work very well Limited front desk hours (7 AM–9 PM) made early checkout inconvenient Pool was cold and jacuzzis were only warm No towels available at the pool (we found out the hard way) Beds were very firm (though we still slept fine) Overall: Great views and staff, but the remote location and dated facilities made it feel more like a 3-star experience than a standout stay."

"Spacious room, swimming pool very nice, and breakfast was correct. Animals around us, good for child. Diner was just correct. "

"The setting is honestly breathing! Surrounded by lush landscape and incredible views of the volcano, you feel completely immersed in nature. You wake up and immediately appreciate how beautiful and peaceful everything is. That said, the location does come with a bit of a trade-off. It’s quite far from town and most excursions, so getting around requires some planning (and time). If you’re hoping to pop in and out easily, this might not be the most convenient option. The property itself is charming but the rooms are a little dated in terms of decor and overall feel. It didn’t take away from the experience though. The he only real disappointments was the pool, it’s quite small considering how large the property is, and it felt a bit underwhelming given the otherwise expansive setting. Also worth noting: be prepared for a workout! The hotel is built into the landscape, so there’s a lot of uphill walking. It adds to the unique character of the place, but definitely bring good shoes and be ready for some stairs and climbs. Overall, it’s a beautiful, peaceful escape with stunning surroundings—just go in knowing it’s a quiet offset resort from the more touristy area of Fortuna. "

"What a hidden gem. The views were incredible and the staff was super friendly and helpful in terms of directing us to places to explore. We d highly recommend this lodge. "
