<h2>Cielo Lodge: A Hidden Gem Nestled up in the Hills</h2>"Off-grid and off-the-beaten-track." That's what the Cielo Lodge says about itself. It also calls itself a "modern, minimalist eco-lodge," and that sounds about right.&nbsp;We'd add a few things ourselves to a description of the Cielo Lodge. First, we'd say it's slightly more than minimalist and modern; we'd call it, in fact, the last word in boutique, understated, eco-luxury. And we're not the only ones to praise Cielo Lodge, either. Since it opened in the hills above the port of Golfito in Costa Rica's Southern Zone, Harper's Bazaar named it in its "20 Best Places to Travel in 2021" list. Forbes said it was one of its "Ten Cool New Hotels to Visit in 2021". Conde Naste Traveler put Cielo Lodge on its 2021 hot list of the best new hotels globally, while Travel and Leisure also put it on their "Editors' Picks" list of best unique hotels in the world for 2021.&nbsp;In short, Cielo Lodge is famous and making waves with travel experts.&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1646244364/cielo_lodge_restaurant_and_pool_nightshot_golfito_d4a027aae2.jpg" alt="cielo-lodge-restaurant-and-pool-nightshot-golfito.jpg" srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1646244365/thumbnail_cielo_lodge_restaurant_and_pool_nightshot_golfito_d4a027aae2.jpg 234w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1646244366/small_cielo_lodge_restaurant_and_pool_nightshot_golfito_d4a027aae2.jpg 500w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1646244365/medium_cielo_lodge_restaurant_and_pool_nightshot_golfito_d4a027aae2.jpg 750w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1646244365/large_cielo_lodge_restaurant_and_pool_nightshot_golfito_d4a027aae2.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">&nbsp;<h3>Understated Luxury</h3>At Cielo Lodge, you'll find six large (660-square-foot), modern, open concept one-bedroom canopy suites - all elevated above the tree-tops to provide utter privacy.
