Vacances de Río Jiménez

Our stay at Cielo Lodge was absolutely unforgettable and exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome with their warmth, attentiveness, and willingness to help with anything we needed. Their hospitality truly made the experience extra special. The food was another highlight of our trip — every meal was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The local ingredients and creative dishes gave us a true taste of Costa Rica, and dining with such breathtaking surroundings made it even more memorable. Cielo Lodge offers an amazing variety of activities, making it easy to experience the beauty and adventure of Costa Rica. Whether exploring nature, enjoying guided excursions, or simply relaxing and taking in the scenery, there was always something wonderful to do. The grounds themselves are absolutely gorgeous — lush, peaceful, and immaculately maintained. What truly amazed us was the incredible wildlife surrounding the lodge. We saw colorful birds, monkeys, and so many beautiful animals right in their natural habitat. It felt like being immersed in a tropical paradise. If you are looking for a place that combines luxury, adventure, incredible food, outstanding service, and the superb wildlife of Costa Rica, Cielo Lodge is truly a hidden gem. We cannot wait to return.

Incroyable endroit de rêves, nourriture exceptionnelle, service impeccable. Les propriétaires et le staff sont attentionnés, accueillants et ils adorent leur endroit. Merci pour tout nous reviendrons.

Très beau eco lodge placé dans un environnement magnifique face à la baie.

Beautiful rainforest property with good birding opportunity, birds song, cicadas, and frogs, but "touristy", so the natural vibe gets ruined. It seems they cater to tour groups, so not very private or queit. Have to pay for 3 meals a day but on their schedule that's too late for serious birding and not as healthy as I'd prefer. I travel solo and do not enjoy sitting by myself or wasting time I could be out finding birds sitting in a restaurant. I go ut birding before daybreak so, lunch as late as 13:00 and O MG on the dinner at 19:00 hours! That's almost bedtime for a serious birder, so unhealthy. I also disliked the large group tours and no options for private guide at such a perfect, well known place to find endemic and special birds place. No fridge in room to keep my own food cold. NO WIFI in room!! Make sure you see that. I couldn't message home without walking down to the restaurant (again back out with all the people - exactly the opposite of the serene rainforest experience I'd hoped for.) Sorry to report negativity. It IS a beautiful place if being with a group instead of the self-in-nature is your thing. The road is also in bad condition - narrow with many potholes.
