Apartments in Upala

"What a unique place. Really cool landscape. The view is perfection. Food was fantastic. Beer was fantastic. It is such a unique place. We did really enjoy our time there, though short. Would have been an epic place 20 years ago when the skate park, tennis courts, arcade game, and air hockey were all in usable condition. Servers were nice, the beer was great, the food was amazing, and the restaurant views were so cool. "

"The staff was very friendly and helpful. The owner was interested and caring."

"Hideaway Rio Celeste is pure paradise. Every detail feels intentional, from the breathtaking grounds and serene rooms to the extraordinary people who bring the place to life. The staff’s warmth goes far beyond hospitality. It’s genuine, thoughtful, and deeply human. Umbrellas ready for rainforest showers, air filters in the rooms, beautifully authentic meals, seamlessly organized tours, and heartfelt recognition of special moments. There’s a joyful pride here, a sense of family and generosity that reflects a deep love for Costa Rica. You don’t just stay here, you’re welcomed."

"This hotel was a great - good value, it is close to the park, the restaurant was excellent, the property was beautiful, and the service was excellent. Moses at the front desk was very helpful, and the restaurant manager was extremely friendly and helpful figuring out how to obtain a replacement camera memory card. "
