Top El Achiote Hotel Reviews

Hideaway Rio Celeste

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay at Hideaway. The fanciest hotel in this area with a 2025 Michelin Key. Going to Tenorio volano national park was only a 2 min drive. The grounds of the hotel are spectacular. The hotel is nestled in the rainforest and has 2 private trails to rio celeste. We got a free upgrade to a rainforest view room. We also enjoyed a complimentary yoga class with an excellent yoga teacher and a complimentary night tour with a knowledgeable guide. The staff was very friendly. The only negative point is that the restaurant is quite expensive (200-250 USD for 2 suppers depending if you get drinks/appetizers/desserts) and the food was just okay. The breakfast was quite tasty though. Thank you to all the staff that made our stay very memorable."

Destino Hotel & Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly and Jorge was the best guy to have around and show us the place even though we’ve checked in late in the evening. Also, the rooms and place was beautiful and great layout."

Rio Celeste Jungle Glamping

10/10 Excellent

"What an awesome place! We were looking for a jungle setting off the beaten path. We were only there one night before heading to the beach and it was awesome! The dome was super cool (and provided some entertaining acoustics that sparked some fun) and the view was amazing. A very cool fog rolled in followed by a good rain storm which emphasized the jungle feel! Extremely friendly hosts and just a fun overall experience. 10/10"

Malekus Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely magical. Pictures do not do Malekus Mountain Lodge justice - it's truly so special and lovely, a work of art not just a place to stay. Roger and Rosey were kind, attentive hosts. The location was beautiful. We had wonderful breakfasts on site and a fantastic dinner just 600 meters away. With only 7 rooms and an intimate feel, this would be a perfect place for a family reunion, small destination wedding, or friends trip. Do know going in that the rooms are small and intimate, and there is no air-conditioning. However, the climate was temperate and the rooms and lodge are well-suited and comfortable. We loved everything about our stay - except for that we didn't get to stay longer! Already hoping to come again!!"

Bungalows Paraíso Celeste

8/10 Good

"The view was great and the breakfast was awesome. The only issue was that the Dutch front door let in a lot of insects. Overall a great value."

Hotel Finca L’Étoile Celeste

10/10 Excellent

"Le personnel a été très agréable et prévenant. Le restaurant était parfait avec une carte à la fois internationale et locale pour tous les goûts. Excellente cuisine et service. Toujours avec le sourire. Je recommande le site."

Agutipaca B&B

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at this property, we were shown around by Angie who seemed to be the animal whisperer. Wherever we went we saw all sorts of animals, monkeys, sloths, toucans, humming birds and so many more. It’s a beautiful paradise and we loved every minute we had here. We were sad to have to move on when we did. Thankyou so much for looking after us so well."

Posada Río Celeste La Amistad

8/10 Good

"We only stayed one night. We chose Posado Río Celeste La Amistad to swim in the blue Rio Celeste River on their property. This was the perfect place to get a $ 5 USD-a-piece ticket within walking distance of the hotel. It's family-owned, and they take such pride in their establishment. We were upgraded to the Superior Cabin, which is very spacious and quiet. The abuela (grandma) took us on a night walk to see many frogs in the garden. There were several dogs and cats, and a talking parrot, on the property, in addition to hummingbirds and other beautiful birds. Breakfast is included and delicious. No air, but plenty of fans. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a rustic, eco-friendly stay. Make sure you speak Spanish or have a phone translator, as the family speaks Spanish."
