Hideaway Rio Celeste Hotel, hotel in Bijagua

Located in a secluded rainforest, adjacent to the Tenorio Volcano National Park, Hideaway Rio Celeste Hotel offers luxurious bungalows with a plasma TV. Facilities include an outdoor pool.

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!

Finca Amistad Cacao Lodge, hotel in Bijagua

Finca Amistad Cacao Lodge offers 60 hectares of Cocoa farm and guests can enjoy tours, chocolate and bird watching. The accommodations features a seating area.

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.

Jardin entre Montañas, hotel in Bijagua

Located 7.2 mi from Rio Celeste Waterfall, Jardin entre Montañas offers a garden, and accommodations with a patio and free WiFi.

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.

    I was amazed at this hotel. Beautiful all around. The rooms are comfortable beautiful clean and huge, with your own deck and lounge chairs. The bathroom is great, (indoor and outdoor shower). The premises are awesome, it has private trails that lead to Rio Celeste, where you can even go in the river, something you can't do at the park. You can walk even until the sun starts to go down, the light and sounds are very different that during the day. The pool and jacuzzi very nice. The restaurant and bar very good. Staff is great!

    The pictures of this property do not do it justice. It is stunning. There was a family of howler monkeys right on the property. If you love nature and wildlife, this is the place for you!! The home was clean and Kamal and Bertha were excellent hosts. They provided many recommendations for activities around the property and we were very happy with all their suggestions. This property is in a great location if you want to visit Rio Celeste waterfall, sloths tours and chocolate tours. I highly recommend this property.

    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!

    It was a great location to get to the Rio Celeste hike early in the morning, only a few minutes away. The hotel staff was great. The pool was lovely. The room was spacious and clean. They had proper recycling bins on the grounds! We had a nice private porch looking out onto the rainforest. We inquired about a night tour (to see frogs, snakes, etc.) and they recommended a guide ($US25 each). The tour was very interesting.

    It is a lovely finca which provides the experience as indicated - outdoors, chocolate making, comfortable cabins, surrounded by nature, close to The national park, Rio Celeste and a beautiful waterfall. The staff was very helpful with tour information as well as serving delicious home cooked breakfasts and dinner. We (a family of 7) enjoyed our stay and experience there.

    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.

    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.

    Lovely garden , comfortable lodge, the walk to the waterfall is a must if you are staying here. Takes 1 hr and you can swim in a lovely spot after about 40 min. Beautiful primal forest on route. Really exceptional trees. We also enjoyed our dinner . Good location for Rio Celeste walk or tubing.

    The trail is awesome. The other hotel we tried had a trail as a checklist kind of item that was not very long or very interesting. Heliconias trail is awesome. The hanging bridge...Not so much. The view was also great.
