Neat opportunity to stay on a real cocoa farm. They gave free tours and we did the paid chocolate bar making workshop and our kids really enjoyed. The room was rustic/simple but very clean and comfortable. They made homemade breakfast in the morning for our family that was delicious and we even did the paid dinner one night, which was also good. Overall a very unique stay in Costa Rica!

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 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.
The manager Johnny one of the nicest persons we met very helpful and accomodating,gave us tips and information regarding activities and upgraded us to 2 rooms instead of 1as the place was empty. The rooms are very big although simple. Warm water not working very well. Overall we had a nice time at this place but the price was really steep for the conditions, a nice and friendly hostel at best. Stayed in 4 star hotels with lots of amenities for much less...
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.
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.
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!
The room is modest but it was not a problem for us as it compensates with the amazing backyard and the friendly and helpful staff. The stay at this hotel was a bliss, every morning you can see monkeys hanging around in the amazing backyard, which is full of trees and flowers, with fabulous views at the mountains in the back.
Breakfast was delicious with many food options.
Quiet street, walkable to restaurants and stores in Bijagua. Close to PN Volcan Tenorio and Rio Celeste hike. Nice secure parking. Host Diego was very friendly and helpful, with recommendations for local hiking (Cataratas Bijagua) and where to eat (casados at El Barrigon). Good wi-fi, comfortable beds. Nice front-yard garden.
Gorgeous gardens, views and a huge
room. The staff was great and made a
wonderful dinner for us even though
we arrived so late. We loved walking
their hanging bridges and saw a sloth.
This was a perfect first place to stop
from Liberia and a short drive the next
morning to Rio Celeste. Wish we
could have stayed longer.
1, helpful owners. they helped us to visit several places. 2, excellent breakfast with most fruits and juice came from their garden. 3, it’s a very beautiful hotel and garden. 4, very tranquil . 5, there’s a good restaurant near by with delicious food, reasonable price and English speaking owner.
Well maintained, small property (very peaceful) and a great attention to details from the owner and the staff. Warm welcome and very personable staff.
The bird feeding, along with the amazing breakfast, was a highlight of our stay. Super close to Rio Celeste too.
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.
This is a forest hut lodge indeed, on the cacao farm. Pictures reflect it well. What is not seen on the pics is the spotless cleanness and the hospitability. Huts are modern and well equipped. Fine chocolate drinks, good brekky. Recommended.
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.
Trails to a waterfall to swim and to a lookout platform. Nice pool to cool off in. Excellent breakfast included.
End of the road yet a short drive to restaurants in Bijagua. Very nice lodging. Hummingbird feeders.
The room was comfortable and clean with a 'frig and AC. The apartment is a bit hard to find, especially since we arrived at night. Pull in to a small, grassy driveway area right by the Rio Celeste Dreams sign.
Prefect location, great staff, easy access to lots of activities. Everyone was very helpful and it is part of what made Rio Celeste our favorite place on our trip.
