We are coming to costa rica for last 13 years.. having home close to Montezuma.. love to much to ever leave the house.. this time we did .. went To "Celeste Mountain Lodge.. just driving by without any recommendations or reservations .. we found the special place ! Please go, if you are in the country or just close by !.. many reason to visit.. food.. place.. rio celeste .. beautiful place to be..
or just the fact they try to do what we all supposed to be doing.. go Green go Eco.. even if not 100%.. still trying.. thank you !!! jana and tad

Look elsewhere if the idea of a stay without television or wi-fi or Hilton-style luxuries is a deal-breaker, but if not, know that this is a special, peaceful, place. Be prepared for stunning architecture, great conversation with guests, the caretaker and the owner, (who led our family on a brief but delightful night tour through the hotel's gardens to see tree frogs and more). The meals were something else entirely: All included and all exotic and delicious. One of the most amazing things to me was finding that the hotel had not only carved its own mile-long trail through the neighboring jungle but had laid nearly the entire length of the trail with fabric to keep the path cleaer. The result is that we walked the entire distance--in the rain, in the jungle--without even getting our feet muddy. Yep, we loved it.

Upon arrival you'll be greedy by Joel (the owner, the concierge, the assistant, the visionary). If you want modern day technology, not only is this place not for you, but Costa Rica may not be for you. The Celeste mountain lodge will remind city folks of what they are missing. No tv, no Wi Fi not needed.
The rooms are simple, yet spacious, with plenty hot water and breath taking views of 2 volcanoes (Tenorio and Miravalles). The food is a set menu, but yet plentiful and delicious. The dining room is European style which means you share a table with other guests to share in some great conversation. This was truly a great nature experience, my only down side was that we were only able to spend 1 night. We'll be back Joel

The rooms are wondeful, comfortable, clean. The food is incredible and it is served in the "bed and breakfast sort of family style" (they even ring a bell!) The area is a little cold so bring a jacket. We had a wonderful time, the staff and owners are really great and helpful. Great for families or couples alone. Very quiet area, lots of bird watching and a great trail on premise!
