Atenas Vacations from $775

Ronny and his staff were so kind and accommodating and made this stay absolutely worth it. We were welcomed with a cocktail and had a custom ordered tasty breakfast every morning. The room itself is small (and no door to the bathroom) but it is all you really need. The secluded rooftop patio was our favorite place to be during sunsets. The restaurant is bustling but the noise dies down early in the night. The property is on top of a hill (car required) and is about a 10 minute drive to everything. Thank you for hosting us!

Good

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.

It was absolutely gorgeous! Brand new and beautiful

This eco-lodge was a wonderful place to stay. The location is excellent—just a 10-minute drive from Manuel Antonio National Park, and within a short driving distance of many restaurants with beautiful ocean views. The room was simple, spotless, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality stood out. I was welcomed with a gorgeous complimentary drink, and in the evening, a delightful surprise was delivered to my room: a cacao ball with powdered cacao and a glass of warm rum—a unique and memorable treat. I had a 7:00 a.m. entry pass for Manuel Antonio National Park, but since breakfast normally begins at 7:00, the staff kindly offered to serve mine at 6:30. Their flexibility was greatly appreciated, and the breakfast of the day—flautas—was absolutely delicious. The combination of the beautiful setting, thoughtful service, and warm hospitality made this a stay I would happily recommend.
