Perfect location and choice!

We had a fantastic one-night stay at Hotel Celeste while visiting Tenorio Volcano Park. The hotel is built with an ecological focus, blending into the natural environment beautifully. Nice and comfortable rooms. Great food. Fantastic service. Ideal location. Thanks to Joel and team for a wonderful stay.

We did not realize there was no ac. The humidity was bad which caused the room the have musky and moldy smell. The pillows smelled really bad like they don’t get sanitized in between customers. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. A very calm environment.

Great Eco friendly lodge in the area

My Dad, brother and I just stayed one night and enjoyed our stay. The stay were nice, and the property with it's hedge row garden and mountain views were pretty. It's a good option to visit Rio celeste. Breakfast was plentiful and they catered a bit for our dietary needs which was very kind.

Wonderful and quirky lodge

Wonderful and quirky lodge. Magnificent view. Nice rooms. Very helpful staff. And also a super kitchen staff who prepared several good meals and lunchboxes for us. Perfect place to stay a couple of nights, if you want to experience Rio Celeste waterfall.

The lodge is in a beautiful setting, but the experience was spoiled by poor management. The owner at the front desk greeted us coldly, upset that we hadn’t added our 5-year-old to the booking. We paid $20 for a minimal breakfast he barely eats. The room had a long list of strict rules—no outside drinks, limited lights, etc. We felt watched and unwelcome. Great location, but the attitude and control ruined the vibe.

The property was beautiful! We saw more birds on the property than we did at the nearby natiknal park. The food from the restaurant was excellent! A true highlight of our trip. The rooms were very clean and so was the entire property and the staff was very nice and helpful. Only negative of the property is a lack of heating/cooling in the rooms. The temperature was fine during our stay, mostly missed being able to get the room dry. We were soaked from our hike during the day and were never able to get fully dry, even after getting back to the hotel.

While food prepared thrre was well prepared and flavorful, they served dinner for everyone AT seven, and as a result, our food for dinner was barely warm to cold when we received it. Breakfast, which was good and plentiful, was served the same way; all plates were prepared at once.

Absolutely beautiful lodge

We stayed here for one night on our Costa Rica family trip and we wished we had booked more nights. The lodge is run by a French expat who built the property with his wife 17 years ago. The lodge itself is wonderful. Clean large rooms, beautiful indoor/outdoor common area with garden and dining area, and a large professional kitchen that opens up to the dining area. Breakfast is included and was wonderful. Dinner is a small addon and is well worth the price. Each course was introduced by the owner and many incorporated local ingredients that we had never experienced. If you are coming to Bijagua, do yourself a favor and book Celest Mountain Lodge for a few nights and enjoy the property and food. We really enjoyed our short stay!

Loved it all! Reception greeted us with an explanation of everything on the property. Meals were gourmet calibre. The owner and staff felt like friends and we were only there for 24 hrs. Grounds and surroundings are spectacular. As there is no air conditioning, the only thing I would suggest would be fans in the room to help circulate the air brought in through the open blinds. But this was minor.

it was 90F and no a/c, no shampoo/conditioner, very very timy bathroom. for a place that is so expensive, basics were missing. positive - food was great. views are great everyone in staff is super attentive and helpful. the chocolate tour is awesome. night safari was a waste of money. would not recommend. my take is that it is an overpriced place for amenities it offers, and would probably go there just for the food.
