Wat een fantastisch verblijf!! Super vriendelijke eigenaar en kok, erg betrokken, spreekt meerdere talen en doen er alles aan om je je thuis te laten voelen. De centrale ruimte is prachtig met een heerlijke bank, prachtife bloemen en plsnten en een mooi uitzicht op de vulkaan! Het eten was heerlijk, overal is aan gedacht! Een dikke aanrader!!!

Prachtige eco lodge met fantastisch uitzicht.
We verbleven 1 nacht in deze prachtige eco lodge. Met een glaasje wijn genoten we van het schitterende uitzicht en zonsondergang. In de mooi aangelegde tuin kun je een wandeling maken. De eigenaar is een goede gastheer en erg behulpzaam. De maaltijden zijn heerlijk. Het Tenorio NP met rio Celeste is een bezoek waard.

Overall, this place is very nice. We liked the open foyer area and the vibes. We were a bit disappointed by the bedroom which has a bit of a hostel feel to it. The staff was also uneven: very friendly one day, a bit short the next. The French helper/waitress for instance did not smile much. The communal dinner could have been fun, but the wine they had (only 1-2 types) was absolutely awful and not cheap. Also, I ordered the steak "very rare" but it came well done. They were kind enough to substitue, but the second one I got was still fridge-cold, almost as to spite me....

Fantastic property with beautiful views. Most of the irritants that others reviewed didn’t bother us at all (small shower, no A/C, etc) other than the paper thin walls. You can absolutely hear everything from all your neighbours. I don’t necessarily think it was the walls but more that because there is no A/C, everyone has all their windows open. The food was absolutely fantastic and the owner Joel was very attentive and a pleasure to talk to! I would definitely stay here again!

it was 90F and no a/c, no shampoo/conditioner, very very timy bathroom. for a place that is so expensive, basics were missing. positive - food was great. views are great everyone in staff is super attentive and helpful. the chocolate tour is awesome. night safari was a waste of money. would not recommend. my take is that it is an overpriced place for amenities it offers, and would probably go there just for the food.

The mountain lodge is perfect The location is incredibly beautiful, with a view towards the volcano and having the feeling of a being in the jungle. The atmosphere is very convivial with Joel and the staff very welcoming, and I love the fact that everyone dined together at 1900 precisely. Food is inventive with vegetarian options. A chance to meet fellow travelers and share experiences. To note, this is a LODGE not a 5 star hotel BUT the accommodation is very comfortable and functional. Bravo Joel and team. Great concept and we loved our stay.

This hotel was perfect for many reasons. The cuisine was exceptional and artistically presented. The service was impeccable. Best of all were the gardens resplendent with a wide variety of flora, birds and butterflies.

Absolutely beautiful lodge
We stayed here for one night on our Costa Rica family trip and we wished we had booked more nights. The lodge is run by a French expat who built the property with his wife 17 years ago. The lodge itself is wonderful. Clean large rooms, beautiful indoor/outdoor common area with garden and dining area, and a large professional kitchen that opens up to the dining area. Breakfast is included and was wonderful. Dinner is a small addon and is well worth the price. Each course was introduced by the owner and many incorporated local ingredients that we had never experienced. If you are coming to Bijagua, do yourself a favor and book Celest Mountain Lodge for a few nights and enjoy the property and food. We really enjoyed our short stay!

While food prepared thrre was well prepared and flavorful, they served dinner for everyone AT seven, and as a result, our food for dinner was barely warm to cold when we received it. Breakfast, which was good and plentiful, was served the same way; all plates were prepared at once.

Fabulous Stay
This was a gem of a find. Joel the owner was on top of every detail of your stay. The meals prepared were exquisite. Family style tables that allowed you to meet other travelers and exchange past places visited and or give ideas of where to go next. Birds eye view of the beautiful garden where you could watch birds for hours. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Don’t skip dinner
This place was truly a wonderful spot for us. They have a beautiful view over looking gardens that are often filled with birds. There was a lovely breeze that came in through the windows all night (which made no AC no problem) and we fell asleep to the sounds of the rainforest. We opted for dinner and it was the best food we had in Costa Rica. We also hiked their private trail in the rainforest and it was so nice and peaceful. I would come again and stay more than one night and get dinner every night.

Mixed experience, wouldn’t stay again
Very friendly owner, beautiful view and great dinner/breakfast! Comfort level was ok but relatively basic for price we paid compared to other places we’ve stayed in Costa Rica. 3 big negatives: 1) guide booked by the hotel for tours was ok for the night tour but very bad for the rio Celeste, rushing through it in 2hrs barely looking for animals (he only spotted 1 snake, +we saw 3 others thanks to other guides who found them), 2) we had very poor sleep as we could hear trafic from the road despite our earplugs, 3) there are no full blinds and we’re awaken with the sun around 6am

Loved it all! Reception greeted us with an explanation of everything on the property. Meals were gourmet calibre. The owner and staff felt like friends and we were only there for 24 hrs. Grounds and surroundings are spectacular. As there is no air conditioning, the only thing I would suggest would be fans in the room to help circulate the air brought in through the open blinds. But this was minor.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Lodge. The place is so unique that staying there is an attraction in itself. We stayed 2 nights while visiting Rio Celeste and just loved the gardens, view from the dinning room, and of course the food-which was the highlight of our stay. Even my picky teenage son loved that food. 3-course dinner 25$, lunch 15$ and breakfast was included in our room rate. Small but very comfortable and well designed rooms, great bathrooms and I loved that it was all eco-friendly and upcycled. Great wifi. There is even shoe washing station outside so you can clean your very muddy shoes from Celeste hike. I would definitely stay there again, and will recommend it to anyone.
