Posada Río Celeste La Amistad

Super professional caring and welcoming staff show pride in this family owned Inn Costa Rican style . Sprawling garden and comfortable bungalows.

The location is beautiful, and off of the main road, so there isn’t any road traffic sound… unlike some nearby lodges that cost more. The staff is friendly, and they did my laundry on the same day, without an extra charge… The food is good and different from surrounding lodges in the fact that they also have Italian food, in addition to the wonderful Costa Rican fare. Abundant, luxuriously, foliated, gardens, full of flowers and birds… repeat with birdfeeders attracting some for close observation or photography. Common local birds are present, but due to the distance between the hotel and primary reinforced cover the Hills and nearby national park, there won’t be too many unusual varieties… but two species of toucans are abundant and vocal in the morning.… While frogs annunciate at night. There is private parking, and road leading to the hotel is not paved… But it’s also easily reversed by any type of car. Bearings were clean and cozy, and the shower is the electric type… So remember not to turn the water volume up too much or you won’t feel the warmth of the heating element…. But if you turn the water volume down, it will still be at a comfortable level, with hot water.

Very friendly and helpful staff, location was hard to find, google gave wrong directions. Great food for dinner and breakfast. Saw lots of frogs.

The staff was amazing! When we got to the hotel we were all wet and cold. They didn’ even make us officially check in. They opened our rooms so we could change and have them wash and dry our clothes. Gave us hot ‘agua dulce’ to warm up, and put logs in the chimney so we warmed up. Very family oriented, very very welcoming. The rooms were very clean and breakfast was delicious!
