  • Cielo Mar is a gorgeous house atop a hill, where you can look over one shoulder to the Caribbean Sea, and over the other one towards the Talamanca Mountains. The pictures posted by its owners speak volumes about the beauty of the house and grounds but nothing compares to being there in person next to the tropical rainforest. During my stay there as a primate researcher, I was able to observe howler monkeys from dawn until dusk (poolside!) and closely observe a variety of other animals, including toucans, parrots, sloths and coati mundis. The relatively large size of the property, which is mostly rainforest with trails, makes Cielo Mar a suitable place to observe wildlife – for research or pleasure. I recommend Cielo Mar to anyone seeking tropical wildlife, scenery, or serenity.

  • Our stay at Cielo Mar last summer was one of the most delightful and relaxing vacations I have ever had. The location on the hill (about one quarter mile from the beach) provided not only cool breezes but spectacular views of the Caribbean and surrounding jungle. My favorite spot was the covered deck, built of gorgeous native wood, open on four sides, sitting atop the house – perfect for reading, napping, watching the ever-changing sea or the wildlife in the surrounding jungle. We saw toucans, parrots, and a huge variety of other birds I could not name (great for birdwatchers), as well as monkeys, and sloths. The views could be enhanced by a telescope on the top deck. In the late afternoon, the Howler monkeys would occasionally gather in large numbers in the trees around the swimming pool (my second favorite spot), seemingly conferring about where they would spend the night. On top of the natural beauty, there were great restaurants offering top-notch international cuisine just a short drive from the house. More restaurants and night life could be found in Puerto Viejo, just a 20-minute drive up the road. I can’t say enough about this little piece of paradise – friendly people, beautiful surroundings, and activities galore (from boating and fishing to swimming and surfing in the Caribbean, to hiking in the jungle).

  • I would like to to share with whoever is interested that I had a very memorable time staying at this home last summer. The view from the home and pool is like nothing I saw anywhere else in Costa Rica. The swimming pool was a favorite hangout spot for me as it always had cool breezes. We spent hours walking along the beach between Punta Uva and Manzanillo or Punt Uva and Puerto Viejo. Another plus was the wildlife around the home. I saw Howler and El Capitan monkeys numerous times from the home. Upon arriving back in the US, I really missed the beautiful sound the Howlers make which you could here through the jungle almost daily. Finally I want to mention the upstairs balcony with open air views in all directions. This was the "reading haven" for me and my friends and I spent hours reading and watching the view. I hope to go back again and am so thankful for the experience!! Craig Bowie-Elementary School Teacher Flagstaff, Arizona

  • My fiancee and I stayed at the lodge for three weeks in May/June 2008. the simple truth is it's breath-taking. the views and sunsets are stunning. we found ourselves surrounded by toucans, howler monkeys and many wonderful frogs. the house itself is wonderfully crafted from wood for a rustic feel over three levels, yet retains modern comforts with washer, dryer, warm water and expansive kitchen etc. and best of all the cool breeze on the ridge keeps mosquitos to zero. a short walk are the most unspoiled and quiet beaches with all the trappings of a tropical paradise. the warm charm of the house is complemented by the jungle to explore and the pool for a quick dip. we really loved our time and will come again. you make friends in minutes of moving in or have the space to be aone on the hill in paradise. Geoff and Carry the owners are people we trust and keep in touch with as friends. your time there, at the risk of sounding trite, is going to give you some of the fondest memories of your life.
