Cielo Lodge was a dream come true. Elegance meets sustainability in an intimate collection of cabinas that are spacious, gorgeous and comfortable. The bathrooms are designed to bring the outside in - even when opting for the indoor shower. Situated up near the canopy of the rainforest the grounds offer tremendous views and vigorous hikes including to a waterfall with a crisp, cool swimming hole. The food was delicious and served with attention and kindness overlooking the pool that mirrored the night sky. The staff were exceptional overall and all bringing coffee to my door at dawn was a personal favorite.

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.

We stayed four nights in late March, 2026. Cielo Lodge is a fairly new resort in its 5th year of existence. It's a project of love by owners Keith and Nicole Goldstein. Keith was at the lodge during our stay and shared many wonderful stories about the evolution of the ecolodge. We were greeted by staff upon arrival and immediately awed by the sunset view looking over the town of Golfito and the Golfito Dulce, with the Osa Peninsula in the background. The villas are simple yet sophisticated and modern at the same time. There is no tv, ac or even glass doors on the rooms (there are screens to let in the sounds of the jungle and keep insects out)....and none were missed for even a moment. Solar power and spring water are the "utilities". The villas are comfortable, spacious and private. The staff is all very friendly and eager to help with whatever is needed. Meals are worldclass, with exquisite attention to flavor, color, presentation and balance, using mostly if not all local ingredients. The kitchen seems to excel in knife skills, with so many dishes full of perfectly cut components. We particularly loved the Oyster Ceviche and also Zucchini Rotella with Pomodoro sauce to die for. Our servers Luigi and Moises were fabulous. Ronald was kind to drive us where we needed to be. Josue, our main tour guide and the resident naturalist, has an eagle eye and ear for the local wildlife and seems to have endless knowledge of the jungle. His English is outstanding.
