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
I was amazed at this hotel. Beautiful all around. The rooms are comfortable beautiful clean and huge, with your own deck and lounge chairs. The bathroom is great, (indoor and outdoor shower). The premises are awesome, it has private trails that lead to Rio Celeste, where you can even go in the river, something you can't do at the park. You can walk even until the sun starts to go down, the light and sounds are very different that during the day. The pool and jacuzzi very nice. The restaurant and bar very good. Staff is great!
The pictures of this property do not do it justice. It is stunning. There was a family of howler monkeys right on the property. If you love nature and wildlife, this is the place for you!! The home was clean and Kamal and Bertha were excellent hosts. They provided many recommendations for activities around the property and we were very happy with all their suggestions. This property is in a great location if you want to visit Rio Celeste waterfall, sloths tours and chocolate tours. I highly recommend this property.
Owner and staff are attentive. Morning walk of the cacao plantation is very informative and educational. Very recommended to take the chocolate course (trainer's English not always clear, but we manage to make 1/2 kg chocolate per person to bring back home). Recommended to stay 2 nights, and walk around the property (there is a 2 hours walk in the plantation and forest where you can spot beautiful flora and fauna). Love the free chocolate drink at check-in. Fire place for night star watching is just priceless.
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.
This hotel is a real gem, tucked away on a hillside near Tenorio Volcano. The grounds are beautiful and the public areas are very comfortable. The food was excellent and the owner is very helpful and interesting. There are trails through the gardens and into the jungle across the street from the property. They put out fruit for the birds, so the tree in front of the big windows that open are always full of beautiful birds.
The different fruit trees, lemongrass, cinnamon tree, cacao, coffee growing on the property! Even though we don’t know Spanish that well, we could still understand the host as he gave us a friendly and patient tour of the little farm. He was so expressive that we could understand about the plants even in Spanish.
The kitchen is extremely clean and well organized, and all the appliances nice.
Incredible setting with great views, lovely gardens, and a very unique property / eco-lodge concept.
Wonderful open common sitting and eating area. Friendly staff. Clean and comfortable rooms.
Joel has done an excellent job with the property and I would highly recommend staying here as a base to explore nearby Rio Celeste! The dinner (extra) was excellent.
Itza is an amazing host! We arrived way passed the check-in time due to public transport delays and Itza stayed up to welcome us with a snack and keys. Much appreciated! Also we got loads of useful tips and tricks on exploring Rio Celeste. I would absolutely stay here again
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.
Run by a lovely family who have built the cabins and grown the garden from the ground up. We were able to grind our own cacao, take a night tour of the garden for frogs, and explored the area around bijagua, of course including el Rio Celeste.
One of the highlights of our 3 week tour through CR. Unique property, not too hard to get to, close to other attractions (Tenorio, Rio Celeste), and enough to do onsite to spend a couple of days there too. The chocolate workshop is a must!
fantastic room,huge. outdoor and indoor showers. spectacular grounds and lobby. bumpy road to get there but so is every other road… easy walk to thr river and rio Celeste park. food, drinks etc wonderful. staff super friendly.
The location near Rio Celeste and the low room rate made our stay a great value.
The family who owns the hotel is very sweet and accommodating, but they speak Spanish only. Be sure you have some Espanõl before you go.
Immediately across from entrance of Rio Celeste waterfall hiking trail at Tenorio Volcano National Park
Short walking trail through banana, sugar cane plus other crop plantation and small animal barn.
Great views and garden area. Cataratas Bijagua is wonderful and not heavily trafficked. Room was clean and spacious with a nice deck to relax and enjoy nature.
The family that hosts the property were agreeable and offered to assist me in contacting other helpful persons in the Bijagua area. Very pleasant people.
Very friendly owner (only spanish speaking), great and huge breakfast, hot water, wifi available for free, very close to the rio celeste entrance (600m)
