Beautiful spot and a gracious, accommodating host
Pablo was a very gracious and helpful host, which made our stay enjoyable and comfortable. The spot is beautiful, with amazing views and plenty of wildlife. The kids all loved the swimming hole and hot tub, and it was fun to cook on an open fire. The cabin was comfortable for two families (total of 9 people), and was well equipped.

Incredible
This place is just incredible. Clean, beautiful, and Pablo is so nice! My kids loved the hot tub (it’s not too hot) and laying in the hammock. Will be back soon!

Great Time at El Congo
Our family of four had a great time at El Congo. The cabin was clean and well-stocked, and the landscaping was beautiful. We enjoyed the onsite trail, the swimming hole, the hot tub, and hammock. The sights and sounds were peaceful. The soda a short walk away served wonderful local cuisine. The road in is long and very rough, but the drive was well worth it. We recommend waterfall rappelling through Pure Trek, which takes place less than a mile from El Congo. Pablo was a gracious host - we plan to come back.

Rough road into this zen paradise. What a beautiful place. Every detail has been well thought out. Our grandkids wanted to move in. Landscape was exquisite and the hiking trail a wonderful adventure. Highly recommend this stay. Thanks. The Rice Family.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful location.
We’re a family of 6 (2 adults and 4 children) who recently spent 5 nights at Cabanas Caeli. The location is beautiful, definitely recommend a 4x4 to get to the property. The property itself is stunning and was well equipped with everything we needed. Pablo and Jenny were great hosts. They responded to any questions very promptly and suggested things that the family may like to do. We enjoyed walking through their little rainforest and the hot-tub after long day! Thank you for being great hosts.

The pictures don’t do it justice
The property does not disappoint! It is an idyllic setting with the rainforest servicing as your back-door neighbor. The views are amazing and the house is perfect for a family/friends or couples to share. You are removed enough to enjoy nature, sipping coffee in the morning from the upper balcony, watching birds and butterflies flitter around the forest and gardens while the sounds of toucans fly by overhead to perch in a tree and chatter. it is a peaceful, restful place to start and end your day of adventures. The hosts, Pablo, and his wife are wonderful hosts, going above and beyond in making us feel welcome and also drove us into town on one night, The road to the Cabanas can be a bit daunting, and rustic is an understatement, but it adds to the adventure, and most drivers we used were familiar with the property. Paulo supplied a cab company contact and we were able to pre-arrange pick-up times they were always prompt. Overall an amazing time with my family and we will certainly come back. TEN Stars if I could. Thank you both for your amazing hospitality, and the personal touch with the painted rock message that did not go unnoticed. A great memento for my Sister and Brother-in-law to remember their first time on Costa Rica!

Amazing!
We stayed here in August '23 and it is really special. The property is about 3 acres, it has a hot-tub and a firepit and has it's own nature walk down to a swimming hole. The house is well equipped, A/C, good shower, and a spectacular view. Pablo is a great host. He was really friendly and the little details he had added (like a basket of fruit and fresh coffee) made it very welcoming. It's a great location to explore the Arenal area - the waterfall is definitely worth a visit (even with the 500 steps back up.) La Fortuna is close and has some great places to eat and stock up on supplies. Definitely worth visiting 'El Nido' which is within walking distance and has views of Arenal, a giant swing and we saw lots of Toucans! The last 2 KM of road to get here is not in great shape, although there is a plan to have it fixed. We had rented a 4x4 for the trip, and we were glad we did. But this place is definitely worth it. Thanks Pablo Mark & family
