La Carolina Lodge, near Rio Celeste waterfall and Volcan Tenorio is a unique lodge. Rooms are a bit rustic but not uncomfortable, and can be romantic. We had a cabin by a small stream. The rooms and grounds are lit by candles at night (a small electric light is also in the room if needed). If you stay a few nights you can book a tour to Rio Celeste and can go horseback riding at the lodge - or help milk the cows! Food is good, Costa Rican style, served at a group table (or you can request a private table). Nice gardens with many birds. http://cms.lacarolinalodge.com/

We stayed here in January and it was amazing. Rooms are awesome, food is gourmet, hummingbirds at the tables and the hosts are awesome people too! http://www.celestemountainlodge.com/

viperwalrus replied:
Are you talking about Gran Terminal del Caribe? Or Caribenos? Either way, this is not a very safe area to stay in. I recommend you don't walk around, especially when it's dark. There's a Radisson and Holiday Inn nearby.
