Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Everything was wonderful! Breakfast was great! Location was magical! The outside shower was incredible and private Loved every minute of the stay!

Negative: Some guests were a little noisy before 8 am (~7:15 a.m) when they walked the path outside my bungalow so it wasn't as quiet as I liked!

Summary: The Hideaway is first rate. Staff was wonderful. Location and and surroundings were truly beautiful.

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Everything went well!! The property and location were perfect!! The staff was exceptionally friendly, professional, courteous and helpful. Travel from and back to the airport was somewhat long - and costly - but worth the experience. Considerable wildlife to be seen as well. The tubing experience was wonderful also. We loved sitting on our balcony viewing the rainforest.

Negative: The timing of lunch and dinner was a little later than expected.

Summary: FANTASTIC resort with stunning location!

Reviewer Type: Family With Children

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Loved the resort, the staff and the location.

Negative: The restaurant food was only ok. What was really disappointing was finding out that they charged us triple what the tours were worth. I would highly recommend booking directly w the tour operators and not though the hotel. I can understand charging a convenience fee, but I think charging us three times the price, for the same tour, is outrageous and has put a damper on an otherwise amazing holiday.

Summary: Amazing resort..... but....

Reviewer Type: Couple

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Rooms and property were beautiful. Loved the pool and the location.

Negative: Food options are limited, very pricey and not quite up to par with the good food in the area that’s much cheaper.

Summary: Would definitely return for the area and facilities and would plan to eat out and not at the restaurants.

Reviewer Type: Family With Children

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Beautiful resort - large and comfortable suites - don't think there is anything better in the neighbourhood - we only stayed for one night but with hindsight should have stayed a bit longer. The staff is even more friendly compared to other places in Costa Rica.

Summary: Great option in the area

Travel Purpose: business

Positive: The hotel appears really nice and clean, but there were several things that made us not rate this place higher. We booked a garden view villa. The room itself was spacious and well appointed. There is an inside and and outside shower. Not sure why a room needs two. I tried the outside shower and my feet were dirtier after my shower than before as there was dirt from the rain on the stepping stones. This was not the fault of the cleaning stuff, just a bad concept. We really appreciated the dehumidifier in the room! The breakfast was good. They offer breads and a toaster, baked goods, yogurt, fruits, juice, milk, coffee or tea and had a station where someone prepared eggs to your liking. We did the two hiking trails the hotel offers (they interlink). It was nice, BUT there is a challenging river crossing that nobody makes you aware of! A rope to hold onto would definitely be helpful! We didn't use the pool, but it looked really nice and clean. The massage we had a the Spa was super relaxing. Would recommend!

Negative: We are tour operators and travel the world, mostly to remote areas with very special and/ or high end accommodations. It is safe to say that we are able to rank places in regards to their location, accommodation, services and prices. The villas are super close to each other so don't expect privacy. The so called garden view ends on the edge of the deck where you can look into tall plants. Right behind this tall hedge is the walkway and in our case we had the cafe with a sitting area and the new restaurant directly opposite. Because of the music and noise we didn't enjoy our deck. For breakfast the servers used a serving cart to bring the coffee and water to the tables. For a hotel that ranks itself "luxury" we thought it was unreal! It felt like in a family restaurant. Upon arrival we were ask if we wanted to make a reservation for the restaurant which they recommended. We said we would like to come at 7pm, but were told that 6:45pm would work. We agreed. When we got there maybe 1/4 of the restaurant was occupied and this didn't change after spending an hour or more there. The food was decent, but nothing really special for the prices they charge. We hiked to the natural pools of the Rio Celeste only to learn that there is not really a good access into the river. The rocks were slippery and we didn't want to risk an accident, so we skipped it. On their website it appears that the beautiful waterfall and the tubing are right onsite as well as the Tapir Valley, but it is not! You need to book a tour. Here are the distances: Entrance to Parque Nacional Volcán Tenorio (hike to waterfall) - 2km Tapir Valley - 5km Tubing - 12km We weren't super impressed with this overrated and overpriced hotel, but my impression got even worse when I found a roll of toilet paper and a used cleaning rag INSIDE my luggage, not on top!!! I WAS SHOCKED! They apologized and informed me that they will do an investigation. Never heard anything else...

Summary: WAY OVERPRICED for what you get!
