The lodge is in a beautiful setting, but the experience was spoiled by poor management. The owner at the front desk greeted us coldly, upset that we hadn’t added our 5-year-old to the booking. We paid $20 for a minimal breakfast he barely eats. The room had a long list of strict rules—no outside drinks, limited lights, etc. We felt watched and unwelcome. Great location, but the attitude and control ruined the vibe.

We did not realize there was no ac. The humidity was bad which caused the room the have musky and moldy smell. The pillows smelled really bad like they don’t get sanitized in between customers. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. A very calm environment.

Beautiful property with amazing views and nice walking trails. No A/C, so it was a little toasty until the sun went down but it was cool enough at night that it was okay.

This was a really lovely Eco-friendly hotel. Dinner was excellent, gourmet quality. Great breakfasts. Staff was attentive and friendly. They have their own private trail on which we were able to take a night walk / wildlife tour. Highly recommended! It’s quite close by car to Bijagua where there were restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, etc. Close to Parque Nacional Volcán Tenorio and the Rio Celeste. We also enjoyed the private trails at Helaconia Lodge where we spotted a troop of spider monkeys.

The property was beautiful! We saw more birds on the property than we did at the nearby natiknal park. The food from the restaurant was excellent! A true highlight of our trip. The rooms were very clean and so was the entire property and the staff was very nice and helpful. Only negative of the property is a lack of heating/cooling in the rooms. The temperature was fine during our stay, mostly missed being able to get the room dry. We were soaked from our hike during the day and were never able to get fully dry, even after getting back to the hotel.

Perfect location and choice!

We had a fantastic one-night stay at Hotel Celeste while visiting Tenorio Volcano Park. The hotel is built with an ecological focus, blending into the natural environment beautifully. Nice and comfortable rooms. Great food. Fantastic service. Ideal location. Thanks to Joel and team for a wonderful stay.

Cute little hotel tucked into the mountains. With peaceful views and a locale near many attractions, it is quite charming place. Beds are a bit firm for my tastes but I'm particular. That's the only downside.
