Trogon Lodge ★★★

"Great food, views and staff. 100% recommend. Comfortable room with double beds."

Monbellis ★★★

Savegre Hotel Natural Reserve & Spa ★★★

"Superb hotel ideally located in the middle of the San Gerardo de Dota Valley and still managed by the descendants of the pioneers who "discovered" the valley in the 1950s. We chose this hotel for its proximity to Los Quetzales National Park. Finally, we stayed in the superb San Gerardo de Dota Valley which is home to quetzals all year round thanks to the presence of Guatemalan avocado trees - whose fruits they feed on. The hotel grounds include a garden designed for the many hummingbirds, various hiking trails, some of which are particularly popular with ornithologists, as well as a viewpoint offering a superb panorama of the valley. We went on a quetzal observation outing (among others) with Raul Fernandez Chacon (Whatsapp +***********), grandson of the pioneers who settled in the valley; to be booked directly or through the hotel. Spa equipped with jacuzzis and an impeccable sauna and restaurant."

Dantica Cloud Forest Lodge ★★★

"Bungalows avec une situation incroyable dans la forêt nébuleuse. Fenêtres profondes à toute largeur avec vue intéressante. Kolibris vole vers le balcon, soirée confortable chambre- que voulez-vous encore? Une excellente atmosphère dans le restaurant connecté avec la musique de piano au petit déjeuner, un plaisir. Une belle expérience!"

Paraíso Quetzal Lodge ★★★

"Un petit coin de paradis à 2700m, vue magnifique, plusieurs chemins de balade pour découvrir la nature qui entoure le lodge. Cocktails au coin du feu ! Balai de colibris devant le lodge. Et merci à notre guide David qui nous a permis e voir ce magnifique oiseau le Quetzal ! Merci pour l’accueil, la gentillesse du personne. Les soupes sont excellentes !"

Hotel de Montaña Suria ★★★

"Ça restera un mauvais souvenir. Le défaut principal est le manque de chauffage dans l'hôtel. Au vu du prix payé pour les chambres c'est une honte. Les chambres ne sont équipées que d'un petit chauffage d'appoint qui peine à réchauffer la pièce quand il fait froid dehors et il faisait froid quand nous y avions séjourné. La salle de bain n'est pas chauffée, je vous laisse imaginer le plaisir quand il s'agissait de passer à la douche. La journée, il ne fait pas imaginer aller se réchauffer dans une pièce commune, le restaurant n'est pas chauffé non plus. Pour le reste, on a eu un petit déjeuner sans pain parce que la cuisine est arrivée en rupture de stock pendant le séjour."

Cedrela Eco-Lodge & Restaurante ★★

"All the reviews of this lodge are accurate. It is a special place with special views. We were here for one night during the rainy season. There was a fire laid in the chimney which would have been welcome at night when it was cool but the hotel was unable to provide matches! There was an empty box by the fireplace… A few quibbles: Be aware the access road is in terrible condition and the alternative route is only practicable in a 4x4 There is limited hot water. What there is in the shower is serviced by a mini electric heater with exposed wiring that would not pass muster in the US or EU. There were no bedside or reading lights in our cabin The tin roofs resound with falling rain drops. All i can say is i could not sleep because it sounded as if someone was tapping the roof all night The lodge is a shade more expensive than most. The restaurant is trily outstanding indeed we had trout in an orange sauce which was Michelin* quality but the price of a meal without wine was £60 or $75 per head which is London prices or more."

Toucanet Lodge ★★

"I came to this region along with my husband, brother and sister-in-law primarily to go birding. El Toucanet Lodge was the perfect base for our activities. It is located in the Copey de Dota region surrounded by the mountains of the Los Santos Forest Reserve region of Costa Rica. The scenery is spectacular. It is not a very touristy area. The lodge is in a beautiful location with separate guest rooms tucked into the landscape, providing lots of privacy for each guest. Waking up in the morning and looking out over the spectacular landscape was my favorite thing. The restaurant on the grounds provides a delicious breakfast while you look at hummingbirds and other wildlife. We had dinner most nights there as well. The food was terrific, and portions were generous. Be sure to try the avocado ice cream! It was so good. A short walk up the hill from the lodge, and you can see the majestic and colorful Quetzal and other amazing birds. Our room was very comfortable with a king-sized bed, small kitchen area and great views. Miguel greeted us, arranged anything we needed. He is a terrific host and person."
