Kakao Lodge & Garden Río Celeste

We stayed here for 1 night but wished we could have stayed longer. Johnny (I think he is the owner or manager), could not have been more hospitable. He welcomed us with a coffee and snacks after a long journey from Nicaragua. He arranged a room with 2 single beds into a double room with air conditioning even though the hotel was busy. He also helped us with transport and recommendations for activities, as well as showing and telling us about all the wildlife that surrounds the hotel. He is so kind. The hotel is very cute and comfortable. The breakfast was filling and delicious, and you eat it whilst sat outside listening to the birds and nature. Would absolutely stay here again!

Our stay at Kakao Lodge was lovely! The staff were exteremly welcoming and helpful, and the surroundings beautiful. They had a lovely garden full of plants and animals, and having breakfast with the tropical birds was magical. It is only a 20minute drive from Rio Celeste, so the location is great. Still in town, but quiet and personal.

The rooms were perfectly located. The location was close to activities and a restaurant and store. The garden area drew birds and frogs. It was adorable!!

Laura was amazing. She showed us all of the wildlife on the property and at breakfast, setup a great viewing to feed all of the birds and other wildlife in front of our breakfast table. We got to see a pair of Toucans. It was amazing.

Great place to stay. The host was very friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and clean. Beds varied in comfort - one was a little too soft but fine for one night. Bathroom was a good size. The garden out front was beautiful!! The typical Costa Rican breakfast was delicious! The homemade tortillas were a hit with my family.
