Piuri Río Celeste, Costa Rica. - Bed and breakfasts for Rent in Bijagua de Upala, Costa Rica

Very good location, in a very beautiful setting , in the middle of the trees , next to the river, a quiet and peaceful place for those who love nature, Sandra prepared a perfect lunch for us, however the apartment deserves a real refresh . Indeed, the apartment is very old, the bathroom also to be refreshed.

Très bon emplacement, dans un très beau cadre , au milieu des arbres , à côté de la rivière, un endroit calme et paisible pour ce qui aime la nature, Sandra nous a préparé un déjeuner parfait, cependant l’appartement mérite un réelle rafraîchissement . En effet, l’appartement est très ancien, la salle de bain également à rafraîchir.

nice location near  the river Rio celeste. delicious breakfast.

mooie ligging vlakbij  de rivier Rio celeste. heerlijk ontbijt.

Alexander is a great host & the location is awesome. Nice path down to a private beach of rio Celeste, the blue color is stunning. Breakfast was great with a plate of fresh fruit & coffee included. The room is very basic but had all necessary amenities. No AC but comes with a small plug in fan.

Alexander and his son were super nice and reactive. The place is beautifully located in the midst of the Tenorio National Park, which allowed us to hear a lot of animal sounds while swimming in their private access into Rio Celeste - which was very much appreciated as you cannot do it while hiking there. We only wish we could have had some hot water and closed the doors better to prevent bugs from coming in the room.

This was our favorite location out of the 8 places we stayed. It’s exactly what I want in an AirBnb. It’s not the Hilton, it’s a magical get away where you can live amongst the locals and have your very own private blue river pool. Absolutely recommend for anyone. Beautiful animals, bugs, flowers, and birds everywhere.

Great place ! We walked to the park, slept so well and the breakfast was delicious !

Atypical accommodation close to the river for nature lovers Hosts very nice and available

Logement atypique proche de la rivière pour les amoureux de nature Hôtes très gentils et disponibles

The hosts were very friendly, available, and attentive to their hosts, especially the young man is called Emanuel.  I love the nature of the mountains and seeing the animals like the varieties of birds and howler monkeys on the trees. The room was clean and the location of the airbnb is very close to Tenorio National Park.

Los anfitriones fueron muy amables, disponibles, y atentos a sus huespedes, especialmente el jovencito se llama Emanuel.  Me encantan la naturaleza de las montanas y ver los animales como las variedades de aves y los monos aulladores en los arboles. El cuarto estaba limpio y la ubicacion del airbnb esta muy cerca a Tenorio National Park.

We loved the service, private access to the river, and the location near the entrance to the national park. The room is simple but comfortable and quite spacious!

Nos encantó la atención, el acceso privado al río y la ubicación cerca de la entrada al parque nacional. La habitación es sencilla pero cómoda y bastante amplia!

amazing place!! as advertised and excellent staff!

Swimming in the Rio Celeste was amazing, breakfast was fantastic.  It is important to have a correct expectation of the room.  We had to put a towel under the door to keep large ants from marching in. If you don’t have a 4x4 vehicle you will need to make a short walk down to the rooms, but that was not an issue for us. It is a beautiful location in the mountains and conveniently located. Alexander is a very good host and very kind.

Wow, perfect location for visiting Rio Celeste. Guests enjoy a private access to the beautiful blue river where you can relax. The entrance to the park is just a few minutes away. We stayed in the dome and it was very cool, we had no idea what to expect. Alexander is very nice, breakfast was delicious. There is no Refridgerator but that would be my only complaint. If your headed to Rio Celeste, this is the place!!! We hope to come back some day

Clean and spacious room but basic comfort. Very attentive and helpful host. The pluses: * being able to swim in the Rio Celest. Even though not at the foot of the room as we imagined but at the end of a path of several steps. * Located 1 km from Tenorio Park (Rio Celest hike) * Breakfast served from 7 am to 8:30 am: coffee fruit, chocolate, eggs, toast, rice and black beans. Really nice. The least: * Do not rely on rentals on Airbnb. Go towards "Parque Nationale Vocalno Tenorio". It's at PUIRI. 1 km to the entrance to the park. We really had trouble finding it.

Chambre propre et spacieuse mais confort sommaire. Hôte très attentif et très serviable. Les plus : * pouvoir se baigner dans le Rio Celest. Même si pas au pied de la chambre comme on se l'était imaginé mais au bout d'un sentier de plusieurs marches. * Situé à 1 kms du parc Tenorio (rando Rio Celest) * Le petit dej servi de 7h à 8h30: fruit café, chocolat, oeufs, pain grillé, riz et haricots noir. Vraiment sympa. Les moins: * Ne pas se fier à la location dans Airbnb. Aller direction "parque nationale vocalno Tenorio". C'est à PUIRI. À 1 km de l'entrée du parc. Nous avons vraiment eu du mal à trouver.

Deplorable, just about everything, except for breakfast. House is about to fall apart, mouldy stinch, taped electric installations, complete absence of hot water. Just sad really.

This is such a magical place. Everything from the drive to get there, the family that runs it and the property itself is just amazing. This place is made for people who look for the best alternatives to big hotels and resorts. This is for people looking for something real and adventurous.  The character and charm you'll experience here is far greater than any 5 star location that treats you like a number. Thanks for taking such good care of us Alexander!

The river is amazing and the breakfast provided by Alexander and his family was a treat. We could not get hot water to shower but the rooms are very large and spacious. The driveway down to the units requires 4 wheel drive or bigger vehicle. If you can’t take your car be prepared to walk the hill back and forth to room. It’s a little steep and rocky, as is the path that gets you to the river location. Room is not air tight and it’s in the rainforest so we did experience some bugs, and small lizards in our room, be prepared to be one with nature. It’s important to understand what you are getting in to- do the research. This location is perfect for the Tenorio national park and hike. We also booked a night tour and horseback riding in neighboring property. The value was great and property was beautiful.

Amazing! Ask for the coconut suite it’s so cool! Alexander is a great host and the breakfast is delicious. 5/5

We got to stay in the eco-hut, made of concrete with a stream running underneath. It was beautifully hand crafted with hand painted wooden tiles all around depicting the local flora and fauna. The bed was a king size and very comfortable. Breakfast was included, a typical delicious costarican breakfast with fresh fruit. Located right down the road from the Rio Celeste waterfall with an area to swim in that amazing blue water right behind our eco-hut. Will definitely be back! ❤

Relaxing stay in the egg here at Puiri. Alexander and Emmanuel were a great help and breakfast was delicious. The healing mineral waters of the Rio Celeste was the absolute highlight!

Ideally located, the most is certainly the access to the river with the possibility of swimming.

Idéalement situé, le plus est certainement l accès à la rivière avec possibilité de baignade.

We enjoyed our stay at this place, especially as it is located at the bank of Río Celeste and you can even have a dip there while it is not allowed in the national park Tenorio, which is nearby though and worth the visit as well. Breakfasts were delicious and prepared with love.

Alex was a great host! Housing was good as well!

It is a very beautiful place, the people are very friendly, the food is super rich, the cabins are very spacious, everything is clean and in order and the best part is that they have private access to the Rio Celeste. I would definitely be back a thousand times. It's important to call host before booking so they can give them more information about this amazing place to book.

Es un lugar muy hermoso, las personas muy amables, la comida súper rica, las cabañas muy amplias, todo limpio y en orden y lo mejor es que tienen acesso privado al rio celeste. Definitivamente regresaría mil veces. Es importante que llamen al anfitrión antes de reservar para que pueda brindarles más información de este increible lugar.

Our experience in Alexander’s air b&b was great. Even though the weather wasn’t great we still saw the bleu river and that was so amazing! We slept in the egg bedroom! It was just so cool! We loved it! I can’t find anything bad to say about our 2 days. It was all prefect! Alexander is a really nice person, he is always willing to help. He answered all my questions before arriving and during our stay . The breakfast was nice too! I recommend you to stay there if you want to go and see the tenorio volcano parc. There s about 2 mins drive from the air b&b!

The location of the house is excellent, very close to the Rio Celeste which is wonderful. It's a simple stay but very comfortable. The breakfast offered by the host is a delight and their care is very good. Highly recommended.

La ubicación de la casa es excelente, muy cerca del Río celeste que es una maravilla. Es un hospedaje sencillo pero muy cómodo. El desayuno que te ofrece el anfitrión es una delicia y su atención es muy buena. Muy recomendada.

Great location and great host! Good and decent breakfast and the room (the egg) was lovely, though with some leaks in the ceiling —> a little wet inside when it rains. I wouldn’t do more than 1-2 nights there unless you also visit Arenal or other parks more or less in the neighborhood and not only Tenorio/rio Celeste. We had the weather a bit against us with a lot of Rain and fog but no one can do anything about that :) I recommend both the room and host!

Alex is a very friendly host. He gave us a lot of good tips for things to do and the breakfast was very tasty. We were allowed to sleep in the planetarium. This space was fantastic. The river and property are perfect for relaxing, we felt very comfortable.

Alex ist ein sehr freundlicher Gastgeber. Er gab uns viele gute Tipps für Aktivitäten und das Frühstück war sehr lecker. Wir durften im planetarium schlafen. Dieser raum war fantastisch. Der Fluss und das Grundstück sind perfekt zum entspannen, wir fühlten uns sehr wohl.

We really loved our stay here, we had a large room for only 2 of us- there were multiple beds but im glad we had the room to spread out. The place is right in the middle of the rainforest so you should expect to be around some wildlife and critters but it is soooooo amazingly beautiful and the swimming area is a dream. Breakfast was delicious and we wish we could have stayed longer. If you are looking to stay in the area I would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely place! Very clean and excellent location to the park and to the beautiful river! Definitely recommend!

We got upgraded to the egg room and it so fun & cool! I’m not sure if there was hot water or if we just couldn’t figure out how to make it hot, but otherwise the room had everything you would need with a big, comfy bed. If you’re wanting to go the Rio Celeste Waterfall the location was perfect, it’s right down the road. Also, the Rio Celeste that runs by the house is so beautiful & a short walk. It’s a must go if you’re staying here! It was beautiful!! Alexander made breakfast for us in the morning, it was great. Him and his wife were great host. Would recommend!

Great location. Nice to watch tiny hummingbirds at breakfast.

On our tour of Costa Rica and couldn’t have picked a better place to end our trip. What you see in the photos is what you get in real life. His property is gorgeous and has this gorgeous blue river running through it with an amazing hangout area for picnics and fun. I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s quite affordable, walkable distance to a near by national park for hiking and just overall a peaceful and very accommodating environment with a super friendly staff. Thank you for absolutely everything. Xoxo

Amazing view of water right off the property! Close to Rio Celeste waterfall Had a great breakfast We happened to see the coconut shaped room rental must if your going with just 2!

A great location to stay and have your own private river access. Stayed in the egg which was very interesting and relaxing! Good wifi from my hammock on the porch while watching endless amazing birds. Didn't realize that breakfast was included, Alexander came out waving us down to make sure we had breakfast!  It was tasty and he was so kind!

The address listed took us to the wrong place about an hour and a half away from the actual property. When we used “cabinas piuri” as the destination g maps took us to the correct address. It’s about 1km from the entrance to the Rio Celeste waterfall. The property is so fun and Alex was very helpful and accommodating. The food was some of our favorite in Costa Rica. There were some bugs because the space is very natural with modern perks. Pretend you’re glamping and you’ll be fine. The river is a quick walk down a very fun path and there’s tables if you’d like to eat. There’s so swimming at the national park so having a chance to do that on the property was lovely. We told Alex we wanted to practice our Spanish and he was a great teacher and even seemed to speak a little slower so that we could better understand. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend and of Alex’s rooms.

The egg dome room was very lovely and we loved the unique art on the walls! They had beautiful swan towels with flores on the bed. Muy romántico. Located right on the Río Celeste we really enjoyed taking a dip, it was so refreshing! Thanks again for the hospitality.

I absolutely loved this place and would highly recommend staying here!  Alexander speaks English and loves teaching you how to speak Spanish as well.  I got lucky enough to stay in the egg room.  I also walked down to the water in the morning and took a dip in the magical river!

Not the best accomodation or breakfast in Costa Rica, but it doesn’t matter at all. You can swim in the beautiful Rio Celeste right at the Alexander’s property. It was an amazing experience completely worth it. You have to go!

The place was fantastic.  This is the perfect location to enjoy the river.  Our kids had a fabulous time.  It is very close to the park and convenient for everything.  The breakfast is delicious!

We stayed with Alex for 5 days. While we did get lost ( don’t use google maps and make sure you put the address to the National Park)  Alex was quick to answer us when we got lost and helped as much as he could. The place was clean and comfy. There was a fan in our room so it did keep us cool. We didn’t mind the cold water after long days. THE RIVER WAS AMAZING! it’s the perfect little oasis!❤️ We had breakfast every morning and it was delicious. We also had lunch and dinner once and it was just as good. We were super happy with this pick! It’s in a great location.

This place is beautiful. You can walk to the river for a quick swim and very close to the park. Loved our stay here. Wonderful host!

Cabinas Piuri was an amazing place to stay. It is not far from Tenorio Volcano National Park and it was very clean and was very relaxing. We got to stay in the egg room and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Also being able to go down and swim in the Rio Celeste was amazing. The property was clean and had beautiful views. Also the included breakfast was delicious and you could see toucans while enjoying your breakfast.  Alexander was kind and great host and we felt very welcomed. If you want a unique and warm welcoming experience from both nature and the Costa Rican people than Cabinas Piuri is a great choice.

The placement is ideal, we found ourselves "superclassed" to sleep in the very original egg-shaped cabina. The river below is a little paradise. Recommended!

Le placement est idéal, on s’est retrouvé « sur-classé » pour dormir dans la cabina en forme d’oeuf tres originale. La rivière en contrebas est un petit paradis. Je recommande !

Cute propety, had some bugs, no AC, wasnt told when breakfast was so unfortunately missed it

We got to stay in the “Cosmic Egg” and it was much better than we expected. The Rio Celeste/ Piuri was perfect and right behind where we stayed. The breakfast was delicious and he was really nice. Definitely staying here again.

What I really liked was the egg shack with a huge bed. Out of the ordinary with a view and private space!

Ce que j’ai vraiment aimé c’est la cabane en forme d’œuf avec lit immense . Sort de l’ordinaire avec vue et espace privé!

well located 1.5 km from the entrance of Tenorio National Park. Alexander is very approachable and accommodating. the river below is beautiful.

bien situé à 1.5km de l'entrée du parc national tenorio. Alexander est très accessible et arrangeant. la rivière en contrebas est magnifique.

I loved staying here. I thought we got a regular room but to our surprise we got to stay in the egg room. It was such a cool experience. I would recommend to see if it’s available because it was really cool to experience. Steps from the river made our trip even much more special. I wanted to take home Carmelo his dog. lol! All the puppies were so adorable! They even made our stay welcoming with breakfast. Plus we did laundry service and our clothes we done and folded in the morning. I didn’t want to leave. I wish we stayed longer than just one night. Next time we will stay here because the convenience to the river and waterfall.

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION This place is a short walk to Tenario National Park, and to make things sweeter, steps down the hill to the Celeste river where you can swim (which you can’t in the park)! Our little egg house was so unique and beautifully decorated! Breakfast was great too! Even though we spoke Very little Spanish and Alex spoke little English, he was very patient and we made work! By far the best place we stayed at during our two weeks in CR 🌴💕

Hola, buenas Clara, lamentamos que no hayas llegado a nuestras habitaciones, pero no es nuestra culpa, tienes a tú disposición números de celular para llamar o enviar mensajes por whatsapp desde el momento que confirma, es cierto que la ubicación no es perfecta y en el pueblo donde se encuentran las habitaciones es pequeño no es culpa nuestra que no encontrarás la ubicación, aún así el hecho es que eres nuestra única cliente que no llegó hasta nosotros. Escribes que no nos recomiendas sin siquiera llegar a nuestras habitaciones. Hasta luego, lamentamos su problema

If you want to visit Rio Celeste, have close access to the park, swim in the river, and have an awesome place to sleep, this is the place. We got to stay I'm the dome room and it was probably the coolest room I've ever stayed in. Breakfast in the morning was awesome too! Thanks Alexander! Say hello to the pups!

Alexander is a warm, smiling, and helpful host. A very clean room, a very large bed. Thank you Alexander for your reactivation and welcome, despite the rain where we unfortunately couldn't enjoy the blue water of the Rio Celeste we were able to have a good night. You can go there without a second thought and eat a good little dish not very expensive.

Alexander est un hôte chaleureux, souriant et serviable. Une chambre très propre, un très grand lit. Merci Alexander pour ta réactivé et ton accueil, malgré la pluie où nous n'avons malheureusement pas pu apprécier l'eau bleue du Rio Celeste nous avons pu passer une bonne nuit. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés et manger de bon petit plat à pas très cher.

Great location next to the park. Very interesting rustic lodging, Alex was very helpful and accommodating!

It is a beautiful place with an unbeatable location, super close to the entrance to the Tenorio Volcano National Park and with private access to a part where you can swim in Rio Celeste, it is a modest place but this is very clean and breakfast is delicious.

Es un lugar bonito con una ubicación inmejorable, súper cercana a la entrada al Parque Nacional Volcán Tenorio y con el acceso privado a una parte donde puedes nadar en Río Celeste, es un lugar modesto pero esta muy limpio y el desayuno es delicioso.

The hosts are really nice and welcoming !! The orange ball is funny and cute !! You have a private (for the hotel) and free access to the Rio Celeste !! Such a beautiful place !! They offer tipical Costarican food for cheap (8$ for diner) and breakfast include !! It’s a little old but cute !! It’s a family business and you can see alot of birds (green parrots, hummingbirds, etc). A cute little place, fun and charming !!

An excellent place, location near the river for a swim and Alexander is an excellent person!!!!

Un excelente lugar, ubicación cerca del río para darse un baño y Alexander es una excelente persona!!!!

Alexander was very accommodating. The room was clean and full of a variety of beds covered with clean sheets and plenty of blankets and pillows. The property is conveniently located just steps away from rio Celeste! Alexander provided a delicious breakfast and coffee. I wish my boyfriend and I could have stayed for 2-3 nights to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but we had a flight to catch the next day.

We had a great stay at Cabinas Piuri. The location cannot be beaten, walking distance to the main entrance of the park, and a private swimming area in the turquoise waters of the rio celeste. Alexander was an exceptional host and was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The rooms were spacious and clean, we loved the large shower. The food was excellent as well. Our room had a mini fridge and an electric tea kettle, in addition to towels, soap and extra blankets. Our one recommendation would be to add a fan to the rooms, however if it got too hot we could always cool off in the river. Great stay, would absolutely recommend to anybody looking for the best value in the area.

The location to the national park is great and you have your own swimming hole! Alex was very helpful and we would definitely stay here again at this rustic lodge.

It is simple but a very nice place. The river is next to it and it’s a peaceful place to enjoy the river and nature. the food is very good and the best of it is that it is typical food. I liked a lot.

Great location! Wonderful sky river access. The host is awesome

Ubicación genial! Acceso al río celeste maravilloso. El host es increíble

Great location! Highly recommended! Unbeatable host hospitality

Excelente ubicación! Súper recomendable! La hospitalidad del Host inmejorable

This is a no frills establishment. Alexander is very sweet and will prepare you a filling breakfast but for our price point I think we would have preferred to stay in a hotel. Our room housed a GIANT cockroach which spewed white guts after we smashed it with our prized Birkenstocks. The three of us shared a bed in fear of creepy crawlies visiting our toes.

Muy lindo el acceso al río celeste sobre todo que te puedes bañar

Alex is an amazing host!  He met us late at night. The breakfast was amazing!  We got to swim in the Rio Celeste - and you can't do that in the national park.  He was also so kind to let us come back and use the internet after we checked out - he even filled up a pitcher of Guanabana juice for us.  He is an amazing person!

Alex is a wonderful host, the rooms are basic but spacious, we choose this place because of its location and we had the Rio Celeste shore to ourselves and we thoroughly enjoyed our place in this beautiful nature

Extremely well located. 100 meters from the beautiful Rio de Celeste and 1 km from the park. Alexander is a welcoming host and a good cook. We ate the best plantains since we arrived in Costa Rica.

Alexander is a great host , very welcoming!

Alexander is a wonderful host and is so kind! His place offers excellent views of the Rio Celeste. Breakfast and amenities are wonderful. I would stay here again :)

Great location - your own private blue swimming hole surrounded by nature!
