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.

A Costa Rican perfection
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.

Great Eco friendly lodge in the area
My Dad, brother and I just stayed one night and enjoyed our stay. The stay were nice, and the property with it's hedge row garden and mountain views were pretty. It's a good option to visit Rio celeste. Breakfast was plentiful and they catered a bit for our dietary needs which was very kind.

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.
