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.

We had an amazing experience at Celeste lodge. Starting with our concierge Francisco who was so helpful, friendly and welcoming. The location and views are to die for. Their restaurant serves lunch and dinner by reservation only but their food is so fresh and delicious that we ended up dining in there the two nights we stayed. There is always a surprise meal prepared by a French chef. Btw, we have dietary allergies in our family and they accommodated us without a problem, Breakfast is complimentary and is so good too. We would go back in the blink of an eye!

A very unique hotel!! beautiful in all senses! Staff and owner extremely kind!! our food incident: We left chewing gum in the shelf upon entering the room and within minutes it was full of ants. There is an instruction booklet/binder in the room which states not to bring any food in the room in bold red color font but its buried in 2 pages of information and we didn't finished reading by the time the ants got to the gum. perhaps a sign on the hotel door or a reminder during check-in would be great as the hotel is inside the forest! The owner and staff gave us a new room to ensure we would have a safe night w/o ants. Thank you!!! Great breakfast!!

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....
