Incredible! An absolute must stay, hidden away slightly off the tourist trail. We loved our cabin which felt like a piece of luxury. The spa area was lovely. We did the farm tour and chocolate making experience which is a must do. I'd recommend booking 2 nights if you can.

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
- owner and staff was very nice and helpful
- nice eco lodge
- you should book breakfast or at least dinner, they cook with local sourced ingredients, how they prepare it - it’s fantastic!
- they have an own private trail that you can walk on (saw monkeys, birds & some more animals)
- place fits perfectly into the nature, no lights at night so if it’s not cloudy you can see the stars very good
- options to do a night tour on the private trail with a local guide :-)
- 5mins drive away from Rio Celeste National Park entrance
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!
The house is located in a quiet area surrounded by a beautiful garden with many different fruits which our lovely host Diego showed to us when we arrived at the house. Diego was so friendly and welcoming and he gave us many tips for the area. The house is small but super cosy and it has everything that you need, including fridge and a coffee maker. the location is perfect for exploring attractions in the area including Rio Celeste and Sloth tours.
Nearly everything was fantastic! The price can’t be beat. We planned to drive to Rio Celeste to go hiking but then we were told there are private hiking trails to a waterfall at the lodge. We opted for this hike instead and had zero regrets. We got the entire waterfall and swimming hole to ourselves and saw frogs and butterflies on the path! Breakfast was included and it was delicious. The cabin itself was charming and comfortable.
Perfect location, 10m walk from entrance Rio Celeste walk. Good to go in the park as soon as it opens (8 am) to beat the crowds coming from La Fortuna. You can leave the car at the property while being in the park. Room is clean and comfortable and has a hot shower. Breakfast plentiful and delicious, lovely to watch the birds while having breakfast. Owners very friendly, English limited, but we managed just fine!
I had a perfect stay! The woman that owes the house is adorable, she was super kind and gave me a lot of useful information.
It was sparkling clean and very confy.
She also prepared a delicious breakfast for me.
Her daughter speaks perfect English and will help you if you want to book any tour.
Plus the location is perfect, in the town of Bijagua close by the road to the National park.
I strongly recommend!! 😁
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 !
I had such a fantastic experience here, the owners Dinora and Wilfred went above and beyond to welcome and help me during my stay.
The place was absolutely spotless with beautiful gardens and the breakfast there is amazing as well.
I highly recommend staying here if you are coming to the region, there’s plenty to do in the area including rio Celeste, tapir valley and other private reserves.
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!
Truly a hidden gem. these cabins are tucked away on the outskirts of a Costa Rican village. You are secluded, yet feel as though you’re part of the everyday fabric of life. The cabins are comfortable and cute.
The hosts are a family who are delighted to share their property.
We loved our stay. If you’re looking for a hotel near Rio Celeste, this is it!!!
This is a quiet, private unique property. The cabin was clean and comfortable, offering an amazing private space to relax. The host and staff were friendly and responsive to our needs. I would recommend this location for a nice stay near Rio Celeste.
The hosts are super friendly. They gave us great tips over breakfast and were always happy to help with anything we needed. They treated us like friends. The location is also great to visit Tenorio Park/Rio Celeste as it is all walking distance.
Right across the Rio Celeste park entrance. We stayed in one of their cute cabins. it was small but clean and colorful. they own the Soda which served a good breakfast. lots of greenery around.
A lovely family owned place. Amazing breakfast with home grown cacao. The garden was very beautiful! Lots of frogs which Alfredo, the owner showed us at night.
Tremendous views, helpful staff, nice gardens, fast internet, delicious breakfast, very fair price - favorite budget hotel of my whole trip to Costa Rica!
