The Kakao Lodge & Garden Rio Celeste was a very pleasant place to stay for two evenings as we drove and visited various areas within Costa Rica. What stood out to me: - Friendliness of the staff - Clean rooms with excellent air conditioning - FREE excellent home-made breakfast - Staff took us on a short hike to search for red-eye tree frogs Again, the staff stood out. The property manager, Laura, made sure that everything was perfect for our stay. Her English was impeccable and she assisted us by reserving our entrance time to Tenario National Park for us to hike to the beautiful waterfalls. She treated us like old friends and recommended two local restaurants and the Tree Chocolate Farm. We visited all three places and they were all excellent! We will definitely stay here again the next time we pass through the Rio Celeste area. Rick - TX

We had a great experience with Juan and Lilly. The kids loved it, its a very different experience than what we are used to. Juan took great care of us when we arrived, and Lilly greeted us every morning with a smile and a great breakfast. She even showed the kids how they make sugar and honey. We had a great time.

Heerlijke plek met gastvrije ontvangst

Hartelijke ontvangst door de eigenares en Liliy die voor ons een heerlik sapje serveerde en en rondleiding gaf in hun mooie bloementuin waar de kolibris te zien zijn. Ook een grote eekhoorn kwam de bananen controleren. De plek is en echte aanrader.

Ok close to the park.

Couldn't use a credit card. Their machine wasn't working and wouldn't be fixed by the next day. Charge was $80, beyond my general cash. Had to hit the local ATM. Price seemed high. No breakfast. Room was musty smelling. Staff seemed okay. We had trouble finding it in town. Missed the small sign on the main road. Bathroom nice but hot water was only warm. Floor tile nice but decor austere. Surprising to find AC unit in the room. TV but didn't use it. Supposedly a community kitchen. I don't know if there is coffee there our if we are on our own.

Super petit hôtel familial ou les propriétaires sont adorables y compris le petit garçon de 6 ans qui spontanément vient aider ma maman âgée pour descendre les escaliers Petit déjeuner cuisine devant vous c'était parfait
