Immersion en nature

Il faut monter une bonne pente pour accéder à la maison mais ceci permet de vivre dans la canopee avec les oiseaux dont les toucans et les aras et même les singes hurleurs. Il y a plusieurs zones ouvertes dans la maison ce qui permet de sentir la proximité avec tous ces êtres vivants qui habitent la jungle et ce jour et nuit. On entend le roulement des vagues en bruit de fond. Nous n' avons louer aucun moyen de transport. A moins de 1 km se trouve la route principale . Un autobus fait la navette chaque heure de Limon à Manzanillo ( en passant par puerto viego et Cahuita ) à très peu de frais. Nous avons cuisiné plusieurs repas à la maison. Il y a une petite épicerie à moins de 1 km . On y retrouve des légumes et des fruit frais, le poisson est congelé mais frais. On cueille les limes sur la propriété ! Il y a plusieurs bons restaurants tout autour dans un rayon de 1 à 3 km. Ça se fait bien à pied, sinon beaucoup de taxis passent régulièrement. Attention : immersion en nature est aussi synonyme de présence de toutes sortes d' insectes , il faut les apprécier !

The house is well laid out and has everything you need. Beds are comfy, showers/hot water were great. Property is gorgeous, the gardens are beautiful, and I can't say enough about the treehouse - we spent so much time up there watching the birds and monkeys, and even had daily agouti visits. We felt very at home there and will definitely stay again. We were a bit of drama when we first got there with finding the house and then a flat tire on our rental while we were in town, and the hosts were very helpful.

Great location

Feels like you are in a tree house in the top of the hill. Close to so many restaurants, parks, beaches, and sites of interest. Definitely needed the four wheel drive to make it up the hill but totally doable. We were rarely home because we were so busy seeing all the sites! Great location.

Jungle Paradise With Animals everywhere

Though the house was described accurately as typical Caribbean style, we were not expecting the total openness with only screens in windows. However, we are so glad we stayed there and would do it again. So much wildlife to observe from the upper open “treehouse” deck. No issues with bugs in the home, great laundry and pool area. Great hiking right out the door. Host was an excellent communicator and property was well equipped and maintained. We will remember this stay for a lifetime. It is 100% true a 4WD vehicle is needed to access the property, especially if there has been a lot of rain.

Jungle Paradise

Absolutely amazing! We were looking for a place that would make us feel immersed in the Costa Rican lifestyle- and this place was everything we had hoped for and more! The pictures honestly don't even do it justice. It is right outside of town but it feels like your in your own world.The garden was massive and absolutely stunning. Solon, the gardener, was the sweetest and brought us freshly picked fruits and flowers every morning during the week. Our favorite place to hangout and watch the sunrise was the upstairs, where you could see the ocean trough the jungle with macaws, toucans, spider monkeys, howlers, and capuchins. I will say, if your not a fan of the outdoors, this isn't the place for you, as the house is open concept, which happened to b my favorite part :) 10/10 stay, I will absolutely be booking again for my next visit, which is hopefully sooner than later!

Rainforest hideaway

We had a good time here. The internet is definitely spotty but it seemed like the internet company was working on it down at the road so maybe it'll be better for the next guests. Lots of bugs and critters but you're in the jungle so it's to be expected. The upper room was great to spot monkeys and birds. The listing was a bit confusing in regard to the bedrooms... there's definitely only two, not three as written in part of the listing. 4x4 vehicle came in handy to get up the hill, but 2WD also made it up with a couple attempts so it's not impossible. We bought more forks for the house as there weren't enough for the 6 of us for one meal. Playa Chiquita at the bottom of the hill was beautiful and easy to access.

Jungle immersion

What a property! It has a funky house.. a little weird to start, but really cool all in all. The real star though for us was the "jungle". Not sure if it is rainforest, or jungle... but we call it jungle. The house is at the top of the mountain, with expansive views of the ocean and valleys of jungle. We were welcomed by 3 Military Macaws... green pirate parrots. They were on the upper observation deck, and they visited often. We saw a sloth just behind the house... he hung there for a full day. We saw flocks of parrots, several different types of toucans, fireflies, and heard howler monkeys everyday. It was such an experience that we didn't leave nearly as often as we were expecting. It is a very steep hill to the house, and I would concur with the advice of renting a 4 wheel drive vehicle. We never had issues as it was dry, but between loose stones and leaves, I could see it being sketchy when wet if you only had 2 wheel drive. Puerto Viejo was very chill. I would certainly return!

Tranquil Jungle Haven: A Family Escape into Nature's Embrace

We (two adults and a 4-year-old son) spent seven nights at this accommodation and had a wonderful time. Its natural surroundings and proximity to wildlife made it a true highlight for us. The Jungle Room was undoubtedly the centerpiece of our stay. Here, we not only enjoyed our meals but also had the opportunity to observe the fascinating birdlife and admire the breathtaking views during breakfast and dinner. The pool provided a refreshing escape, especially for our four-year-old son, who made full use of it. Despite sharing the garden and pool area with long-term tenants residing in small houses on the property, we had minimal interactions and were always warmly welcomed. The well-equipped kitchen met our needs, although one should expect the occasional ant finding its way into the house. We missed having a barbecue option. The laundry room was particularly convenient. When the electricity line for the water heater was broke, the prompt response from Property Manager India was impressive. Within a few hours, we had hot water again and felt well taken care of. Additionally, Gardener Solon was extremely accommodating and, despite the language barrier, took us on an exciting tour of the rainforest on the property. Overall, our stay here was fantastic, and we recommend this accommodation.

Absolutely Beautiful!

Our vacation at Cielomar was perfect! The grounds were beautifully kept - amazing tropical plants and trees. When we drove up, we were in awe. The house was at the top of a hill where every angle has a view! It has 3 stories, each with it's own balcony. The wildlife is endless! From our balconies and pool, we saw spider monkeys, sloths, toucans, macaws, agouti, frogs, and a hawk that hung around a lot. The house is very cabin like - don't expect to have matching towels and linens. If you want that, go stay at a crowded resort! The house has no A/C, but the fans were perfect! I even got cold at night. All appliances (stove, microwave, washer, dryer) are brand new - I'm pretty sure we were the first to use the oven! From the house, you can easily walk down the drive and to the beach. But if you prefer, there is road parking near the beach path. (We saw a family of monkeys go right over our heads while walking to the beach one afternoon!) The pool was perfect to jump into after the beach. The water was cool and crystal clear! We used the cabana and barbecue pit to grill a few nights. The location is close to wonderful, open air restaurants (We highly recommend Pura Gula! It was delicious!), groceries, and shops. Cielomar really is the perfect place! Tomas, the caretaker, is the BEST! He welcomed us even though it was late at night (Be prepared for a 4.5hr drive from the San Jose airport. It's worth the drive...TRUST ME!). He is super knowledgeable about the area. He talked to us about the wildlife, beaches, restaurants, and even took my son fishing one afternoon! Our stay was made even more enjoyable by having him around! We will be back!

WARNING!!! DON'T MUST READ.

The pictures of this place are great. However, WARNNG, home is in high warning disrepair. This home via Ex-Husband was amazed that is was rented out as it hadn't been in a long time nor anyone taking care of it! The home was filthy, floors covered in dust and dead bugs, beds unmade and mattresses really damp. Trash was in various places on the floors, as if critters were living in there. The ceilings leaked lots of water and has lots of white mold, black mold and grey mold. Took so many pictures and videos. I couldn't upload the pictures or videos as the attachments are too large!!! This poor place has been let go and not taken care of in any time at least 3 years. Dangerous area in and around the property. So much rain came through that the ceilings poured, not dripping, rain water. Washing machine is too rusted that it must be replaced and clean up the black mold. All I can say, is with proof of 2 Businesses, so, warning!!!! We had the lodge below look at it and they couldn't believe it! So, I am not the only one that can attest to the facts !

Not as advertised

This is a lovely house in the mountains. The view is amazing and a great location. The owner allowed us to arrive a day early without charge - which was super nice. Unfortunately the house is not well maintained and the listing is not accurate. There was no internet as advertised. We are both professionals and needed internet access. We would not have rented without internet. Also, the pool pump wasn't working - the pool was also a factor in us renting. The washer and dryer didn't work and looks like it hadn't in a long time. A lot of the screens were missing or ripped so we had a fair amount of bug issues. we contacted the owner about this and requested a partial refund but as of yet did not hear back.

Amazing stay

Property was as advertised. The location worked really well for us as it was near to beaches, bars and restaurants, but very secluded on a beautiful piece of property. We saw so much wildlife including monkeys frogs toucans parrots and multitudes of colorful butterflies and hummingbirds. We loved the open air room and several members of our group loved sleeping in the open air. Joaquin , the property manager was amazing, spending the better part of the day repairing a pool light after we mentioned our daughters loved swimming at night. We also really appreciated the groundskeeper pointing out various trails and sights on the property. Luckily we visited the nearby Jaguar Rescue Center ( which we highly recommend), as we ended up calling them later in the week to come relocate a juvenile serpent that was contentedly sunning itself adjacent to the house. All I all a great adventure and the perfect home base.

Welcome to the Jungle!!

We loved our time here. When you wake up in the morning and walk to the top with your coffee, you realize you’re definitely not at home.. We swam in the pool daily from about 9-1 then headed to the beach after lunch till about 5.. This was our relaxing vacation and we did just that. What we saw.. Tons of Toucans, Parrots, 2 snakes, poison dart frogs, tiny red frog, lots of lizards, incredible array of spiders, insects, sloth and a pack of howler monkeys, a deer rat thing, and an exotic raccoon.. The beach is just at the bottom of the road. The pizza place to the right by Gypsea cafe (right across from beach) is yummy! It was a relaxing adventure and I’ll definitely come back one day..

Right as rain

We had the most wonderful time at Cielomar. We came as two families and found the space to be perfect for what we needed. The description provided by the owners is correct. It is a rustic, rain forest property that sits on a hill up a forest road. You definately need a four wheeled drive vehicle. The home is in good repair, but you must be okay with having bugs around, as that is the nature of the rainforest. Not a day went by without finding a new type of bug somewhere on the property. The beds are comfortable, as need be, and there is laundry on the premesis. The pool was used every single day, by all of us, and was much appreciated when the weather was warm. The caretaker came quite promptly when he was asked to, but we were not too concerned with the small issues and thus did not call him very often. The location is perfect! We went to six different beaches and all were within about 15 minutes of the house. We were able to get private surf lessons in Puerto Viejo for an exceptionally reasonable price. There were iguanas, monkeys, toucans and green macaws in the trees surrounding the house everyday. There is a rescue center and a chocolate plantation, less than a 5 minute drive in either direction of the property. Numerous restaurants and shops line the streets on the way to Puerto Viejo, but don't expect a McDonald's nor anything similar. The food was great! We were able to accomplish everything that we planned to do and more on our trip. We would not only recommend this home, but we would happily return if it wasn't such a long flight from Switzerland. Thank you again Cielomar. Family Berndt and Family MacCarthy

Nature Lovers Unite!

If you enjoy being off the beaten track, yet near local amenities such as restaurants, shopping, and beaches - and seek to experience a true nature immersion, this is a dream! We were enveloped in a true jungle atmosphere, while being just minutes away from the laid back culture of the surfer towns at the base of the hill. Our family spent a week here, enjoying local wildlife galore, fantastic ocean views, and a serene natural surround, complete with the amenities of home, and a bonus private pool. The staff took excellent care of us and the property. The unique design of the home with its 3rd story bird’s nest open-air lookout offered ample opportunity to share canopy-level bird watching. We witnessed the rare green macaws almost every evening at dusk. The serenade of the howler monkeys is not to be missed. Keep in mind, given the location and design of the home, you will also be greeted by a variety of friendly insects. We are nature people, so we welcomed their visits. Also, the evenings can be cool up in the breezy hillside. We enjoyed the opportunity to have a real brush with jungle flora and fauna in this fantastic location. It is a highlight of our journey!

World Class location but some maintenance lacking

The house is located in a beautiful area in the rain forest. A lot of exotic wild life at your door step. It is a short distance to town with excellent restaurants. World class beaches are also a short distance away. Unfortunately the maintenance seems to be lacking. When we first arrived the house was without any toilet paper in any of the bathrooms. Some room lights through out the house are burned out. At a minimum I expect at least toilet paper to be available and lights to work. The pool was dirty the care taker had to put in a large amount of chlorine to clear the water. The WIFI was not functional (I had been assured this was working by the owner) although a couple of days after we arrived a new WIFI router was installed. As you drive down the driveway there is a heap of bagged garbage that was sitting there the whole time. The roof has a leak above one of the skylights I could see where someone tried to put a plastic sheet over the skylight but it had partially blown off. Fortunately it was the dry season so it only rained lightly a couple of days. There are also a couple of houses being built close to the vacation rental. Some construction noise was heard. The folks building the homes cut through the driveway in back of house to get to their place. They are quite friendly people and I had no problem with their presence but some vacationers may object. We left behind some toilet paper and dish soap (also lacking) for the next visitor. Beautiful house and great location but needs better maintenance.

Loved our stay at Cielomar!

I highly recommend this property if you are traveling to this part of the country. I had never been to Costa Rica and selected Cielomar based on the pictures and reviews. After getting familiar with the area, I was even more pleased with the choice as the house is .5 mile up a hill and away from the more populated areas, but still a short walk down to the main road, beaches, restaurants, etc. It felt like a separate experience to be at the house, literally in the rainforest, with all the wildlife that can be experienced right outside. You can hear and see the ocean waves crashing in down below. We shuttled in from San Jose. I think it should be mentioned that the drive in, which is clocked by Interbus Caribe at about 4 hours took more like 6.5 hours due to traffic in between San Jose and Limon, but the shuttle back to San Jose was close to 4 so I guess that just depends. I was glad we stayed a full week because that minor hassle faded as we had plenty of time to get comfortable and explore the area once there. It was definitely worth it. We rented a small SUV in Puerto Viejo and that worked fine to see the surrounding area and get up and down the hill with supplies. The home itself is very comfortable and the views and sounds from all three floors are spectacular. I really liked being able to look out at the beautiful jungle view even while showering! The dryer was key to comfort as well as bathing suits/clothes will take forever to dry on their own. The pool really added to the experience as you can swim, float, get refreshed and watch the monkeys, toucans and macaws. Don't miss out on the primo local coffee and chocolate! I loved brewing the coffee with the ancient Costa Rican "sock method". I'm pretty sure that's not the official name! Joaquin was the caretaker, and he helped us up and down the hill with our luggage upon arrival and departure and checked in regularly to make sure all was bueno. Consistent with other reviews, the internet did not work at the house, but we did not care and even our young adult children said they appreciated the break. It really does add to the relaxation and you can easily get internet at any of the restaurants at the base of the hill. Speaking of the restaurants...incredibly delicious and diverse options in both directions. All in all LOVED it.
