"It was in terrible condition "

"The staff was incredibly friendly but we didn’t even stay on the property although it was paid. The conditions were not clean and the safety of the area was of great concern."

"Yes the ocean was visible. We were the only guest in hotel. Shower barely spit water in you. No paper in toilet so the septic didn’t work correctly. "

"El hotel está muy bien ubicado para ir al depósito libre de Golfito. Tiene muchas amenidades disponibles, incluyendo cargador para vehículos eléctricos. Las habitaciones Std están en un nivel inferior, un poco oscuro. Vale la pena hacer el upgrade a las habitaciones del segundo piso, tienen mejor vista y acceso. La decoración es un poco antigua pero todo está muy bien mantenido. Definitivamente lo utilizaré cuando vuelva a estar en la zona."

"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. "

"Staff was extremely helpfu"

"Excelente hospedaje, demasiado tranquilo y muy limpio, bien equipada con todo lo necesario para la estadía. Un lugar al que volvería con gusto."

"The AC did not work. The staff just laughed when made a complaint. She laughs and avoid fixing things."

"Alas, this property has seen better days. It’s not horrible, or even unbearable, but bare bones. AC was adequate for sleep but not for siesta. Beach is not inviting. Nearby bars were ok for food. We left a day early. "
