National Theater of Costa Rica Tours and Activities

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.

Stopped by this resort in 2007 to walk the Falls Trail, had to comeback & stay. Spent 2 nights for a group of 7 in JULY 2026. We had a Deluxe King Room & the Monarch Lago Villa which has 3 bedrooms. Everyone loved everything. The charm of the property is amazing. Aside from the animal exhibits and trails, we participated in trout fishing, butterfly experience & watching the feeding of the big cats. All those activites are included for overnight guest. We all did and highly recommend the nightly Frog Tour for $10pp. We eat all our meals on-property, the food & service was great. We did not do the lunch buffet to avoid the "daily-fee" guest who come to walk the waterfall trails and eat at the buffett. In our 3 day/2 night stay , there was a period it rained and I mean rained " Hard" for almost 38 hours straight. No joke....we had never experienced that in our lives. The weather radar showed Red Cell wave after wave hitting us. This led to cancelling our tour/hike of Poas Volanco National Park ( 30 min drive ) & staying 100% of the time on-property. While this stay was the start of our 11 nights in Costa Rica & basically the only time it rained for more than an hour at a time, we all felt that the rain made the Peace Lodge more magical and had it rained like that at any of our other stops/accommodations, it would have been a MAJOR damper on the trip. The cold water pool by the Trout Bar was a favorite and there are umbrellas everywhere to be used if it rained.

Beautiful place, great staff. Food is good. It rained a lot!
