We really enjoyed the breakfasts and dinners, fantastic local food and good portion size, loved that we got all day very delicious juices provided too. It was a very nice touch that we got hot cocoa on arrival. The farm tour was super interesting and it was great to see all the facilities that are involved in the cocoa production.

The location within the valley was great, with short walks through the neighborhood to other areas full of birds. There was a very good restaurant about 100 meters away and a well furnished kitchen.
The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean, and sitting on the verandah drinking our morning coffee or a glass of wine in the afternoon listening to and watching the birds was very relaxing and pleasant.
There were panederias, restaurants and markets within easy walking distance of the property.

Absolutely gorgeous area and a must-see for nature lovers!
Absolutely gorgeous area and a must-see for nature lovers! Tenorio National Park was wonderful, although quite crowded, so get there as early as possible. I highly recommend the hanging bridges trail at the Heliconias lodge because it was incredible and hardly anyone was there. We also got to see toucans on the road up there.

The town is essentially a series of businesses along Rte 6, a major road heading North/South. It’s about 1 mile in length. Beautiful vistas coming from the south and heading between the 2 volcanoes of Tenorio and Miravalles. The town is not picturesque but it’s surroundings are. Besides hiking to the waterfall and the lagoon of Rio Celeste, which is an amazing color, there’s not a lot to do (or not a lot to do that you haven’t done elsewhere in CR). For bird watchers, Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge and its boat tours on the river and lake come highly recommended. 2 nights of accommodations is good for most people. We stayed at Finca La Amistad, a working cacao farm, which I highly recommend. Bucolic surroundings, great owner and staff, nice accommodations and a nice chocolate tour makes it a great place to stay.

Great little hike, we were happy to have Jose, as our guide.
Great little hike, we were happy to have Jose, as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and fun. We only wished his english or our spanish were better! We saw lovely birds, including scarlet macaws, a bat, monkeys, lizards. The park has 2 access points and the unofficial one was better as it was more natural and you didn't hear traffic noise.

Be prepared for daily rain squalls even in "dry" season.
Be prepared for daily rain squalls even in "dry" season. Great cloud-forest hiking, especially to Catarata Bijagua--not many wild animals, but plenty of beautiful forests, rushing river, and waterfalls. In Bijagua, Restaurante/Pizzeria El Barrigon -- popular with locals as well as tourists -- has good-value casados.

Great lodges in wonderful garden with ponds, many birds , frogs, plants and trees. Fantastic host Victor who is most friendly, his wife also cooks great dinners and serves healthy breakfasts. Not far from national PARC and the lesser known but wonderful canu negro
Everything.
Getting cozy in the nice and clean room and looking outside the balcony is medicine against stress. Was so in need of that.
Staff is welcoming and warm, go the extra mile to help and you really feel like you matter. REAL COSTA RICAN people. I will mention Walvin; but the maintenance staff are also fantastic.
I made a necessary request to the hotel regarding a health related issue and they really took measures and followed up. This is really extraordinary in my experience.
I wish all places gave that feeling.
The breakfasts and dinners were great. They have a very good chef. The location was excellent- an easy drive to the Park as well as to the town of Bijagua. The lodge was beautiful with nice common areas to sit, have a drink and look at all of the many plants growing inside of the lodge. The lodge also had large windows everywhere to look outside to see the spectacular grounds, manicured hedges and beautful flowers. They even had their own private hiking trail in the jungle.
The location is wonderful, right by "downtown" Bijagua. Diego, our host, was amazing, accommodating everything we asked and could have thought to want. Amazing value for quality of stay, beautiful garden, amazing atmosphere, and comfortable beds. The pictures online do not do it justice, and we all agreed that the price is a steal! Diego offered to taxi us to Tenorio National Park, and our experience at Rio Celeste was top-notch. Cannot recommend this place enough!
We stayed after hiking the Rio Celeste. Our room was in a beautiful wood cabin. Meals were home-cooked in a communal area beside the fire and were absolutely delicious. We did the cacao tour and chocolate-making experience the next day. Our guide was really informative, and we even saw a sloth on the plantation. The chocolate was delicious. I'd strongly recommend it to anyone, but spend 2 days here as the full chocolate-making process is best when done over 2 days.
The staff were all extremely helpful, from the sweet young guy on the front desk who wants to be a footballer to the lovely cleaning lady who helped me out with a wine glass, and the wonderful grounds keepers who made sure I got the most amazing experience seeing a wild white faced monkey 🐒 🙈 having breakfast. As for food, the waiter at the restaurant next door makes you feel very looked after. Also great location for Rio Celeste, and beautiful views.
Sueño río celeste is a gem! We loved everything about our stay and would have stayed much longer had we had the time on our trip. The grounds are beautiful and our room was cosy and clean. The breakfast was exceptional with a large variety of items serviced. The owners of this hotel truly care about their guests and go above and beyond to make you feel at home. We most definitely would stay here again!
Breakfast was fantastic and very generous. Our host was very kind and knowledgeable, it was a pleasure chatting with Eliette. We absolutely loved having so much nature on our doorstep. We spent a lot of time on our balcony with our children, taking it slow and enjoying life :)
There is a lot to do near Bijagua, despite what people say. We stayed 3 nights and would have enjoyed an extra one at least !
just everything! amazing how lovely the owners Marcy and Brian created a beautiful „boutique“ style hotel. thst prooves again, that „luxury“ is not a question of big money, its of style and taste.
we had the pura vida bungalow and loved the view and the great bathroom. excellent breakfast was served at our terrasse. very kind staff. thanks to all for one of our best stays on our 3 weeks tour in CR.
Amazing, quiet, away from the tourist masses. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a more authentic experience. The breakfast and dinner on site were pretty good and very practical. The trail next to the house is much nicer then the ‘main attraction’ Rio Celeste, if I had to choose between those two, I would choose the Cataratas Bijagua any day; a bit more rugged and into nature.
Cecile's breakfast was always wonderful. And so lovely to enjoy it with views of their incredible garden. The best homemade bread!!!
The property is stunning and the pool was great for relaxing and cooling off after long hikes exploring the rain forest around Bijagua. Plus the fact that you can get a delicious dinner delivered from local restaurants and in a timely manor made it perfect!
Large balcony view is beautiful! Kitchen equipment in nice condition with large refrigerator. Nice large bathroom with great shower space. Owner very kind and responsive. Short drive to Tenorio, 10 min. Short drive into Bijagua, 5 min. Good restaurants nearby, Blue River Brewery and El Sabor de Dona Carmen. Probably others good too!
The jungle setting is dreamy. The villas look like something taken out of fantasy book. Outdoor showers are a highlight. The trails to Rio Celeste are awesome. The restaurant is fine dining in a relaxed setting. Monkeys, toucans, sloths, colorful frogs. The pool was a good size.
The hotel is on the road to the National Park Tenorio, just 800 m of walking distance. The bed is very comfortable and the zone is very quiet during the night. Breakfast was very abundant and tasty. You can spot many different birds from the porch.
We loved our experience in Rio Celeste, the national park was amazing and staying in this accommodation was perfect.
We loved the place, the family is adorable, the garden is stunning and the breakfast amazing. The wifi also works very well.
Immediately across from entrance of Rio Celeste waterfall hiking trail at Tenorio Volcano National Park
