Beautiful little nook in the rainforest about a 5 minute drive from Río Celeste. Kenyan was AMAZING and so helpful. He noticed we had a flat and sent us to a shop down the road who took care of us. This place is like family!

One of the top three nicest hotels I've ever visited. Hideaway Rio Celeste was absolutely stunning from top to bottom, I only wish we had more time to stay. I had seen the property before and thought it was gorgeous, but was nervous to book a luxury hotel with an unpredictable, potentially crying, infant. Hideaway Rio Celeste was so welcoming to us, and happily provided a travel crib.
First of all, the location itself feels like a private oasis and was the perfect halfway point between La Fortuna and Liberia Airport. There's not a ton around in terms things to do and places to eat, but the hotel essentially provides fantastic options for all of that. We only stayed for one night but would definitely come back for longer in the future. The morning before our checkout, we hiked the hotel's exclusive trails to Rio Celeste, and were able to swim in the gorgeous water (which you can't do if accessing the river from the National Park.) There were two difficulty options, and the Armadillo Trail was perfect for us with our infant in his carrier.
We ate both dinner and breakfast (included) in the restaurant and it was wonderful. (They're also in the process of building a new Asian restaurant that it seems will be finished soon.) The wait staff was absolutely wonderful, the dinner entertainment was fantastic. Yes, the meal was a bit pricey but was fairly consistent with what we'd found for pricing throughout our stay in Costa Rica. We also had the best time watching the many, many exotic species of birds in front of the dining room window while we ate breakfast.
We stayed in an absolutely stunning Garden View Casita. It was so private and so spacious. So many nice touches eveywhere-- including a private viewing porch and an amazing outdoor shower. The beds were so comfortable, the AC and water pressure were amazing. Again, just sad we didn't have more time to spend there. We'll be back!
Celeste Mountain Lodge is located 2.5 mi from Bijagua and 3.1 mi from the entrance to Tenorio Volcano National Park.

I was impressed by the wood construction which gave it a rustic appeal but with all of the modern conveniences. The king bed was very comfortable and we loved the large deck where we observed many different birds.

Super fun two-night stay in this little neighborhood oasis. Owners are terrific and kind people, delicious breakfast and super filling (was not expecting that, thank you!). As others have mentioned, we sampled their homemade hot chocolate and the owner took us around on a little night tour of the gardens - especially loved seeing the sleeping birds all tucked in among the plants. Room, clean and comfy.

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
This was the first place we stayed after we landed in Liberia. We wanted to see Rio Celeste before heading to Arenal and La Fortuna area. We were the only guests for that one day/night - it was green/low season (me, my husband and young daughter were traveling), and Frank was so hospitable and kind. We enjoyed our short stay so much. The room was very beautiful and it felt like you were in the middle of all the gorgeous nature that surrounded you. Would definitely recommend this to anyone traveling in this area.
We had a wonderful stay with Luzbeth and family! They were so welcoming and friendly. The garden is a peaceful oasis full of beautiful flowers and plants that have been lovingly cared for by the owners. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful.
We loved the nighttime frog walk and cacao demonstration and great conversations with our hosts!
We enjoyed getting to know the Bijagua area, including a great walking tour at Frog's Paradise!
The cabin at Cataratas Bijagua Lodge was ideal. Surrounded by beautiful gardens full of tropical birds, the accommodation was roomy and comfortable. Breakfasts and evening meals, being variations on the typical Costa Rican Gallo Pinto (rice and beans), were excellent and tasty. And the sloth in the tree behind reception posing for photographs capped it all.
What a sweet little oasis in the jungle! The grounds are beautiful manicured. The pool is beautiful and cool after a day of hiking Rio Celeste. Breakfast was fresh and filling. The family that runs this place is so lovely and kind. I just adored being here. A note: you’ll be fine with Google translate, but knowing just a bit of Spanish is very helpful here.
Beautiful location, basic but comfortable accommodation in lovely gardens, with wildlife in abundance. Staff were welcoming and very helpful - organising a fabulous tubing trip for us which was great fun. Pool was lovely. Restaurant next door served good value local food. Breakfast at hotel was a bonus - all in all a relaxing and good value stay.
Nice basic room, clean and comfy. Great location for Rio Celeste Waterfall, and the nearby frog's paradise. Highlight was just sitting on the porch though, with views of the mountain, watching humming birds and toucans and dozens of other colourful birds happy to come right up to the garden. Really enjoyed our brief stay here
One of the most friendly hostel stuff we've ever met. They helped us organizing our trips and gave some more advices what to do around Bijagua.
Furthemore, they prepared us a very large and delicious breakfast every morning. There was lots of space in the dorm room to store our luggage. The kitchen was well-equipped.
Great location, close to supermarkets and pharmacy, the road from this location to Rio Celeste is the best access road of the area.
Host was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area give us a lot of recommendations and answered all our questions in a friendly manner and with a lot of knowledge.
The bungalow was beautiful inside and outside in a wonderful location. The warm hospitality of the hosts made our 3 night stay really special. We will be back for a longer stay. The location is ideal for exploring Tenorio NP and Rio Celeste area. It's about 3km from Bijagua on a good road.
This was our top favorite stay in our whole trip to Costa Rica. It was a beautiful property with a unique experience. The staff is friendly, lovely dogs and cats, very private cabins, and delicious typical food. The cacao tour was the icing on the cake! Loved it here!!!
Great location close to Rio Celeste! The room was cosy and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, with bonus birdwatching. My hosts were warm and welcoming, and patiently gracious to allow me to practice my Spanish conversational skills :)
Hotel setting, view and location were incredible. Rainforest directly in your backyard and very private and peaceful. The breakfast was delicious, very filling and service was great.
Amazing hotel near Tenorio Volcano, with great gardens, trails to the Celeste River and beautiful villas. The hotel has a relaxing pool, nice coffee shop and a great restaurant.
Very friendly owner (only spanish speaking), great and huge breakfast, hot water, wifi available for free, very close to the rio celeste entrance (600m)
