It is one step above camping. Rooms are cabin type. Do not expect typical hotel reeom.Shower buy no hot water. Grounds are nice with view of volcano.

Nice place in a wonderful area near trails, waterfalls and volcanoes

Unfortunately it was not what I expected. My room did not include air conditioning and this was very uncomfortable for us because the mosquitoes approached us. Turning on the hot water was very uncomfortable and difficult, during the morning we did not have hot water to shower. When I booked my room I never saw that the room did not include those things. Otherwise I would pay more for a better one or I would not book it at this place. Overall the staff was very friendly and the breakfast was good.

We had a wonderful stay at Cataraas Bijagua Lodge!  Werner the owner/host was extremely accommodating and helpful in booking tours and advising us on what to do, and when to do it!  The cabins are spacious, CLEAN, and modern, yet rustic, and right in the rain forest, steps to a trail right off the property that leads to a beautiful waterfall.  There are several restaurants in the town of Bijagua (about a 5-6 minute drive from the Lodge), but we chose to eat all our dinners in the open air covered patio at the Lodge.  Our main server, Natalie, was amazing and very friendly, and the food was delicious, especially the "Garlic Fish"!  All the staff were great!  If you're looking for a low-key, quiet retreat in the rain forest, this is it!! 
We'll be back!

A Little Oasis in the Rain Forest

Beautiful, serene property. Very nice host and hostess. Loved the waterfall hike. It was the highlight of our trip. We were there by ourselves and could swim. If you’re into exploring and not a resort travel style this place is fabulous. We came here from JW in Guanacaste and loved this more than the resort. Clean and comfy. Breakfast was delicious and tastefully served. Be mindful of the hike though. Not super easy. Hiking shoes , poles and certainly water shoes, towel, and water are a must.

Beautiful cabins in remote mountainous area.  Staff are great but no one speaks English (reminder to me to learn Spanish) so communication is difficult.  I had problems checking in because I’d paid through Expedia (or thought I did) but they weren’t going to let me checkin without direct payment to them.  With the language barrier this was hard to sort out until I called an intermediary.  The breakfast and dinners were surprisingly good but we had no car so no access to anything for lunch.  We were only there for 2 days on the last leg of our trip.  We mostly enjoyed hanging out on our deck watching and listening to the numerous birds.  We’d already done Rio Celeste on the way there so there wasn’t much else to do but walk around the area.  Our first night was interrupted by a screaming fight by a couple in the lodge beside us.  Because it was in Spanish, we had no idea what it was about but it felt scary for my daughter to hear.  One of the owners interceded so it escalated but finally settled.  (This is no reflection on the lodge, but the visitors).  The last night I was bit about a hundred times in the bed by something. Not bed bugs, but maybe tiny red ants.  Otherwise it was an adventure and pretty tranquil!

Beautiful place with lovely gardens and nice hiking trail . The cabins are nice and private with their own terraces. The breakfasts are delicious and very substantial. Even wifi was good. This is a very convenient location for activities.

Great place to stay and in a convenient location.

Nice location. Room was very clean and we had good hot water. Good hiking trail to the water fall. Trail is a little challenging for non hikers but we spent an enjoyable morning going to the falls anyway. The included breakfast was good. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Nice lodging and grounds

My friend, cousins and I spent New Years Eve here. Our stay was fantastic! We planned a last minute trip to Rio Celeste after picking up my friend from the LIR airport and this was just perfect. The rooms are super cute with a nice porch to hang out. Staff was super friendly. They also have a mini pool where we spent some time in before ringing in the new year. It's about 20 minutes from the Rio Celeste waterfalls. The surroundings are beautiful. There were so many birds in the morning. It was magical to wake up and do yoga in the porch to the music of birds chirping all around. Beds were comfortable and the windows had screen to protect from mosquitos. Please note there are about 2 miles of gravel road to get to the hotel. We had a 4x4 but i am sure a lower car will make it just have to go slow :) Overall, this is a great place to stay if you're visiting the Rio Celeste area! Highly Recommended!
