Beautiful property with amazing views and nice walking trails. No A/C, so it was a little toasty until the sun went down but it was cool enough at night that it was okay.

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.

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.

Cute little hotel tucked into the mountains. With peaceful views and a locale near many attractions, it is quite charming place. Beds are a bit firm for my tastes but I'm particular. That's the only downside.

This was a really lovely Eco-friendly hotel. Dinner was excellent, gourmet quality. Great breakfasts. Staff was attentive and friendly. They have their own private trail on which we were able to take a night walk / wildlife tour. Highly recommended! It’s quite close by car to Bijagua where there were restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, etc. Close to Parque Nacional Volcán Tenorio and the Rio Celeste. We also enjoyed the private trails at Helaconia Lodge where we spotted a troop of spider monkeys.

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.
