Sueño Río Celeste Boutique B&B

Bijagua

Set on the Water and Peace Biosphere Reserve, this accommodation is 11 km from Volcano Tenorio National Park. Sueño Celeste B&B is a bird-watching lodge located on Bijagua, Costa Rica.

Surrounded by lush vegetation, Sueño Celeste features rooms equipped with a queen-size bed and a private bathroom with shower. There is also an additional bed and a private balcony, offering views of the volcano and the rainforest. Me and my family spent 11 days in Costa Rica, staying in 9 different places and this hotel was the best I had during the entire trip. Spacious bungalow, very clean everywhere. Extremely nice hosts and a great breakfast with hand-prepared meals. Delicious granola and wonderfully fruity homemade smoothie. And if we add an evening in the jacuzzi, and in the morning a whole lot of birds: ten toucans, chakalakas, Asian caciques (montezuma), a baby or the sight of a sloth with a cub - then if once a year we could give a higher rating than 10 - then the whole my family will even give it a rating: 12 ;-) The best accommodation during the tour of Costa Rica. I would highly recommend ! ;-)

This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation features full-day security and a housekeeping service for guests. We stayed at Airport Green Studio for our last night in Costa Rica. It was the perfect location since we could safely park the car, fill it up on the gas station right next to the Studio and return it to the nearly located rent company. The Hosting family is exceptionally nice! The breakfast is probably the best, we had on our whole journey! We would definitely come again.
