The resort also provides a tour desk that arranges horseback riding, birdwatching, tubing, and white-water rafting excursions.

Rooms & Suites

Each of the 26 casitas at Rio Celeste Hideaway is a standalone bungalow with a private outdoor patio and an indoor-outdoor shower. The spacious rooms are furnished with a king-size canopy bed, parquet floors, and a plasma TV, and feature a dehumidifier to manage rainforest humidity. All casitas include a private backyard with an outdoor shower, offering direct immersion in the surrounding jungle.

Restaurant Kantala serves local and international dishes prepared with traditional Costa Rican ingredients, including fresh seafood and homemade pasta. The swim-up bar at the outdoor pool offers light lunches and fresh fruit smoothies, while the Cantina Delirio lounge provides fresh tropical cocktails. A coffee and sweets bar on site roasts its own coffee beans and offers cappuccinos, lattes, and desserts.
