Santa Rosa Vacations from $630

We stayed at El Tigre Hideaway for four nights in July and had a truly unique and memorable experience. The villa itself is beautiful and thoughtfully equipped with everything you might need, including extra blankets, robes and slippers, a fully stocked kitchen, and plenty of toiletries and supplies. The staff was also incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The nearby hikes were absolutely amazing and were some of the highlights of our trip. If you're looking for an authentic rainforest experience, this is it! There are a few things future guests should know. We visited in July and it rained almost nonstop during our stay, so unfortunately we weren't able to enjoy the outdoor patios or swing areas. We hiked in the rain, which was part of the adventure, but the humidity made it difficult for clothes to dry, even inside the villa. A small washer and dryer would be a wonderful addition for guests returning from muddy hikes. Also, if you are uncomfortable with bugs, be prepared. Even with doors and windows closed, some insects still found their way inside. They were fascinating and unlike anything we had ever seen, but there were quite a few of them. As advertised, you cannot drive directly to the villa and must use their transportation service. The drivers were prompt most of the time, but the road is steep, rocky, unpaved, and quite bumpy! No maid service and the closest restaurant for dinner is 30 minutes away. A peaceful, remote rainforest retreat

One experience that truly stood out was when my wife accidentally left a garment by the pool. The staff found it and personally brought it to our room. That level of honesty, care, and outstanding customer service says everything about this wonderful hotel. During our stay, we also booked several excursions through the hotel, including a visit to the breathtaking Rio Celeste Waterfall and an exciting white-water rafting adventure. Everything was well organized, and both experiences were unforgettable. We had an amazing time exploring the beautiful surroundings. The property itself is peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect place to relax while enjoying the natural beauty of Costa Rica. Every member of the staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was memorable. I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you to everyone at Hideaway Rio Celeste for making our trip so special. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for an unforgettable Costa Rican getaway.

Really cozy room.Very relaxed and has good views. Hot tub is very easy to use.

Lovely self sustaining eco resort in the midst of the forest. We loved the food, the coziness of the cabin, the yoga classes, and wandering around the property. The farm tour and the night tour were fun activities to do with a 4 year old. We did not like: occasional smell of sewage around the property, especially around the pools. Dated bathrooms in cabins - needs a refresh. Construction noise around the property.
