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!

Wonderful spot with walking paths tucked away in the hillside. Our family really enjoyed our stay and wished it could have been longer. We recommend this location and would love to return again. Pablo answered all our questions promptly. Thanks for the amazing stay!

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

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

The 3.5 kms from La fortuna to property is pavement part of the way and gravel for the balance . BUT once you reach the property you will be blown away. The grounds are beautiful with a 1 km trail through the jungle. There is a small swimming hole near the half way point that I went in. Very refreshing. We saw a sloth up in a tree near the top of the trail.( we saw one from our balcony along with a howler monkey and some Toucans) In a lower section of the grounds just a 50 metre walk from the house is a recreation area. There is a fire/barbecue pit, a cement floor with a big table for having dinner , smaller table and also a bathroom on this site. All 3 spots I just mentioned are covered so you can sit there rain or sunshine. The house has 2 bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen and living area on the main floor. Kitchen area is small as is the living area BUT it worked for us. There is a deck off the living area where you can sit morning or night and listen to the birds. There is also a separate suit below main floor with a bed, a hot plate and a bathroom with a shower. A great extra living space that we did not use as we are 2 middle aged couples and didn't need it . we really enjoyed ourselves and had a great typical breakfast at the restaurant 150 metres from the property . All in all, a great stay for us. Thanks again Pablo for a great stay.
PS he also has a very cool looking hot tub that was unfortunately under repair and would have been running the day we left. Oh well, Next time.

Our stay at Cabanas Caeli was excellent. The inside was clean and as advertised. Although we had mostly rainy days while we were there, the few brief times that things cleared up led to some absolutely incredible views. The property is gorgeous and extremely well maintained. Although we didn't see any sloths or monkeys on our trip, we did have several visits from the cows in the adjoining pastures and many birds.
I would HIGHLY recommend that anyone staying here rents a 4x4/AWD vehicle, as the road up to Caeli is very rocky, steep, and takes about 10 minutes to get up. A couple members of our party had some motion sickness issues going up and down it but I found it manageable as long as you take it slow. There is a great little restaurant called Nido within walking distance with excellent views of the volcano, but just be aware their hours are flexible and they were often closed by 7pm.
All in all a great stay and would highly recommend.
