Kakao Lodge & Garden Río Celeste

Pros: Very comfy room with tea and coffee and excellent freshly cooked breakfast and tucans a few feet away

Pleasant stay, great views across to mountains and the garden was a bird paradise

Pros: The location and garden of this property were excellent. Lots of birds visiting and even saw a sloth way up a tree. People were kind even though I don’t speak Spanish and they didn’t speak English. Angelo, young man who is son of caretaker speaks English and if he is there will be very eager to chat about birds - he is a font of all knowledge. Restaurant across the street is excellent

Cons: I stayed three days and my room was not serviced at all - even the toilet paper bin in that time.

Pros: Super helpful owner that helps organizing activities. Great immersion in nature (lot of birds) especially in the morning. Fantastic breakfast

Nice hotel to stay in Bijagua

Pros: Very nice hotel in Bijagua. It’s well located being 4 minutes walking from the main road and 2 minutes walking from the best restaurant in town: Yeye. The personal is very nice and willing to give advices regarding the activities to do. I would strongly recommend doing the night tour to observe animals as the guide was very nice and we saw plenty!

lovely stay, nice people and amazing garden for animals

Pros: we loved the garden, we spent a lot of time in it. the room was spacious and comfortable. very well located and the staff and owner were really lovely and shared with us their love for the animals. we see they like to take care of the place, and out of lot of effort in it.

Cons: noise at 5 am as staff was cleaning and on a night going to our room, a huge knife has been left on the floor before arriving to our room, I felt on it, fortunately I was lucky enough to fall in the right was I didn’t get hurt, but it could have been terrible.

If you want to enjoy the wildlife CR has to offer, Kakao Lodge can give you that. We enjoyed watching hummingbirds, vult

Pros: Loved that we felt surrounded by nature & authenticity of traditional Costa Rica, with its ‘open to the outdoors’ trad breakfast area and warm hospitality. Huge bedroom. Very comfortable and bed too. Loved sitting outside our room on first floor veranda area amongst the trees and wildlife. We also were taken on a little tour in the garden when we arrived in the evening and saw a red eyed leaf frog.

Cons: Just road traffic/mopeds late at night. For a remote area, on side road away from main through road, it must be one used by locals. It wasn’t all night though and nothing earplugs couldn’t sort out.

Friendly accommodation with an amazing garden full of ani

Pros: Laura is very welcoming and gave us many tips for activities around the accommodation. For example, we visited a cacao farm and the national park Volcán Tenorio. Our room was pretty large, and well furnished. The clear highlight of our stay was the amazing garden, where we could find many of our favorite animals such as a sloth and several frogs! The breakfast was also very good. We can only recommend you to stay here!

Cons: All was good!

Relaxing simple structure, nearby nice attractions

Pros: The calm area in town, the proximity to a new small family-run restaurant, the spacious rooms. The breakfast area is also welcomingly shabby-chic looking and the fruit portions generous. Great value for money. Charming, smiling and welcoming hosts.

Cons: Is a simple structure without real facilities but really not expensive.

Pros: Delicious breakfast in a beautiful setting. Absolutely amazing views sitting on the balcony drinking my coffee in the morning. Wonderful stay.

Amazing place, best one I've been to in Costa Rica, Highly recommended

Pros: A beautiful small hotel in the \
