We had the deluxe bungalow, it was very clean, spacious and private. Very safe place that is just outside the small town of Bijagua. Can get pretty windy at night which is normal in the mountains, I am a sensitive sleeper so earplugs and eye covers recommended to help you get a good nights rest. Reasonable price for a pretty cute place with friendly prompt service and nice breakfast. About 20-30min drive from Tenorio National Park to see Rio Celeste.

So much wildlife!
The customer service was great(thank you Kevin!) although it was the hiking trails that brought me here. Birds and monkeys, even a puma on the property in the morning (we only saw the tracks.) The breakfast was also fabulous, and the rooms so comfortable!!!!

The staff was wonderful. The lodging was okay. The beds were hard but the water was hot for showers. The room had no climate control and their were airgaps that made the nights cold.

Okay lodge to share with family
I am just reviewing the lodge, not the activities around it. Pros: The room was a good size and could accommodate 5 people (2 bunk beds) 1 king size and 1 single bed. Bathroom was okay. You will see some bugs here and there but it is a lodge in the middle of the nature so it didn't bother me. Cons: I paid $97 for the cabin and they gave me the standard room $84. Your suitcase will not roll on the floor as it is not paved. You will have to carry your bags all the way to your room. They gave me the room all the way in the back and I had to carry my bags alone, in the dark. Be careful when looking for the hotel on Google map, I ended up 40 mins north from the lodge and had to drive all the way back. No wifi in the room, I went to the lobby to ask for wifi and the owner gave me the password but it never worked. We tried many times and he was just clueless about why it didn't work and he didn't try to fix the issue. Food was just okay, nothing great.
