Our stay at Cabanas Caeli was perfect. Panlo is an outstanding host and a very kind man who will go beyond expectations to ensure you have a wonderful stay. He helped us organise day time activities, breakfast and dinner on site and taxi’s when we needed one.The jacuzzi was a favourite with the kids, not to mention stone painting and exploring the area. We loved the complementary fruit bowl with loc, fresh fruit. The setting is beautiful, waking up to hear animals and see the wonderful plants surrounding us. We would return in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Pablo and team.

The property was extremely well maintained and the landscaping was amazing. It felt like we were in the cloud forest. We certainly appreciated the trails along the creek on the property and the “El Congo” house was very accommodating for our group of nine. Pablo’s listing mentions needing an SUV or 4x4 to access the property, but due to a rental car mixup, we only had a 2wd SUV, but we were able to access the property. I wouldnt suggest trying that, get the 4x4! It was a beautiful location and we really enjoyed our time in LaFortuna.

This was the most incredible place to stay to get the full rainforest experience. Lots of animals, amazingly well kept property and hiking trails. We had a blast swimming in the middle of the rainforest in the swimming pool. Highly recommend! Pablo was an incredible host, very knowledgeable about the animals we saw And incredibly welcoming. It felt very safe here!

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.

The cabin is great. The surroundings are absolutely stunning! We did enjoy it but I have a few suggestions. It does sleep 10 people but it is pretty cowded so I wouldnt recommend more than 6. We had 9 people .Also with no oven(there is a toaster oven) it is difficult to cook. Otherwise i definitely would tell anyone to stay here. Everything was clean and Pablo was very helpful when we had difficulty finding the gate. The hot tub was fun and the watering hole was spectacular!

Thank you so much for your kind review and for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cabin, the hot tub, and especially our rainforest swim hole. It was also our pleasure to assist you during your stay. We appreciate your feedback regarding occupancy and cooking facilities. We understand that larger groups may find the space cozier, which is why we work hard to provide detailed descriptions, photos, sleeping arrangements, cabin dimensions, and amenity lists so guests can choose the accommodation that best fits their group's needs and expectations. While the cabin is designed to accommodate up to 10 guests, comfort levels can certainly vary from one group to another. Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing to stay with us. We hope to welcome you back to Cabañas Caeli for another unforgettable rainforest getaway. Pura Vida!

A great time in the rain forest

Pablo is a great host.We enjoyed staying in his glass cabin and our first day we did his culture tour.We met great local people in the area. So many outdoor things to do and people are kind and always willing to explain the ways of living amd history of the La Fortuna area.We would highly recommend a stay at his place

Don’t hesitate. Stay here. Pablo is the absolute best host and this property is magical. The rainforest trail, the hot tub, the fire pit, the jungle animals right out the back door…everything was perfection! A true Costa Rican paradise all to yourself!

Hidden gem in the rainforest

We were looking to have an experience of being in the actual rainforest with beautiful views - and we got it! The drive up is a little rugged, but it is worth it. We loved the jacuzzi, swimming hole, and all the wildlife that surrounded the property! Not to mention the views! I hope to someday come back and visit. Pablo was a fantastic host!

Exactly what we were looking for.... And more!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The property was incredible and had so many features (swimming hole, jungle hike, pavilion with grill/fire pit, hot tub) plus all the animal watching we got to do! Pablo and his family put a lot of time and energy into every detail and we appreciated every last bit, down to the fresh fruit display ready upon our arrival. If we ever get the chance to come back to Costa Rica, we will absolutely stay here again!

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.

Perfect stay with amazing views

We loved our stay. We had 4 adults and 4 kids (9,11,12,14) and it was a great spot for us. We used the outdoor fire pit, sat on the porch each morning and night among the frogs and birds, and spent each day hiking the backyard down to the waterfalls and springs. I don’t think you’ll find a personal trail better than the one you’ll find at this property. Save the time it takes to drive to some other hikes and soak in the great property. Inside was extremely clean and property manager was always on call with quick response time.

Book this Property!!

Absolutely incredible property! Cabanas Caeli is like your own private jungle treehouse. The pictures do not do it justice. We loved every minute of our 4 nights at this property. We enjoyed the hot tub, water hole, BBQ area, as well as bird watching. Additionally, Pablo is truly an amazing host, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was seamless. Cannot say enough great things about Pablo and Cabanas Caeli. If this property is available, recommend you book it immediately!

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.

Authentic rainforest cabin with beautiful views surrounded by nature and tranquility

Our family of 5 (3 children) stayed at Cabanas Caeli for 4 days. We have enjoyed the support and guidance of the owner Pablo with the neighboring restaurant and farm, to keep connected while totally submerged in a rainforest and nature. Compounds are large and beautifully landscaped. There is a custom built jacuzzi and entertainment area with swings and hammocks and fire pit. We were able to achieve the right balance of being connected in the high tech cabin while disconnecting with surrounding nature. Puretrek and Desaficio local adventure companies are nearby. Highly recommended for people seeking adventurous and authentic experience.

A Hidden Gem in the Rainforest

This place exceeded all our expectations! Nestled in a peaceful setting surrounded by lush rainforest and stunning landscaping, it offered the perfect retreat. The hot tub was a highlight for our group, especially during the day when it was cooler and perfect for the kids. It provided a relaxing way to soak in the serene atmosphere.We also appreciated thoughtful touches like the swings and BBQ area, which added to the charm, and the host's preparation with umbrellas for the rain made us feel well cared for.However, be aware that the road leading up to the property is quite rough. A 4x4 with high clearance is a must, and while our Toyota RAV4 managed just fine, it’s a longer drive than expected, making quick trips to town less convenient. That said, the tranquility and beauty of this location are absolutely worth it!Would definitely stay here again and I will recommend it to all of our friends and family!

Winter 2025

The property and house are beautiful. You truly feel like you are right in the jungle, although that also means that you might be woken by howler monkeys at 6am a couple of days. It was worth it though. Having our own fire pit and the hot tub right next to the house was a big bonus. The road up to the house is VERY rough, and takes about 15 minutes from the main road turn off. We kind of knew that going in, because the listing and property owner do warn you. We had smaller 4x4 cars and we were definitely pushing them to the limits, but it was part of the adventure for us. If you are someone who like to run to town and back several times a day, though, this might not be the house for you. The owner was extremely responsive, and we all had a great time.

It's a jungle out there!

This place simply could not be beat. Our teenager made us the lucky ones and found this jewel a week before our CR trip. Wonderful host, spotless home, gorgeous views, spectacular property. We went in June the five of us w. my sister & boys. We couldn't have been more pleased w/ our surroundings. The kiddos watched JUNGLE CRUISE at night while the adults absorbed God's goodness in the heart of the beautiful jungle. Sounds were also super exciting and new! Sounds we have never heard! Our only regret was not staying 3-4 days. We had to return to our resort. This was the best last min reservation we could make, so very grateful my family and I experienced this dreamy home. We hope to be back very soon!! Oh! Be sure to look out for the STUNNING sunrise out the master bedroom window!!!
