Welcome to Kakao Lodge & Garden Río Celeste

Nestled in the lush heart of Costa Rica, Kakao Lodge & Garden offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by vibrant flowers, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Located just 20 minutes from the stunning Tenorio National Park and the famous Río Celeste Waterfall, this charming lodge provides a serene atmosphere, perfect for nature lovers. Enjoy breathtaking mountain views, a relaxing terrace, and complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the property.

 Each guest room is thoughtfully designed for comfort, featuring air conditioner, a private bathroom with hot water, and a desk for your convenience. Some rooms also include a private balcony, ideal for soaking in the natural beauty of the surroundings.

 A superb typical Costa Rican breakfast is served in a beautiful open kitchen surrounded by flowers and lush vegetation. As you enjoy your meal, hummingbirds often come to say "good morning," and if you're lucky, you might spot toucans or hear the distant calls of howler monkeys nearby, adding a touch of wildlife magic to your morning experience.

 Guests are welcome to explore the property's lush garden, where you can take in the natural beauty or take a short 2-minute walk to the nearby river. Bathing in the river is permitted, offering a refreshing and immersive way to connect with the surrounding nature.

 At sunset, make your way to the small pond on the property, where you can observe several species of tree frogs, including the famous red-eyed Kölbi Frog, a mesmerizing sight in its natural habitat.

 For those keen on exploring the local wildlife, we have a friendly expert guide who specializes in bird watching, as well as tracking frogs, sloths, and tapirs. This knowledgeable guide can provide an unforgettable experience for guests eager to learn more about Costa Rica's rich biodiversity.

 Ample on-site parking is available for guests, ensuring a hassle-free stay.
