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.

Beautiful gardens and a great view of Mt. Tenario. The food was very good and the steak was the very best we had in Costa Rika.

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!
