Reception area and restaurant were very well appointed and welcoming. Service and friendliness of all staff was superb. Restaurant served a great breakfast each day and hot coffee cups were kept full! Wait staff were exceptional. Grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. Lots of flowers and lots of different birds right on the grounds. The cabins were rustic but well taken care of and attractive. Our bathroom fixtures needed some repairs but it was very clean. Nice covered front porch allowed us to sit outside in the afternoons (unfortunately it rained every day from about 12 noon until dark). The sun comes up very early (5:30am) so we made the most of the first half of each day. Arranged a couple of guided tours through the hotel—Agniel was extremely good and would highly recommend him! An expert in the wildlife in the area!

It's a cabin in the mountain. Good restaurant and fantastic point in the terrasse for birds observatory.
This place is a bird-lover's paradise! And it's nice to feel cold sometimes in an otherwise warm, tropical country. Everyone is very nice, and very nature-oriented. The trees are all primary growth and fascinating and beautiful to see. This is one of my favorite places in Costa Rica (so far).

A magical valley, surrounded by an inimaginable amount of flora and fauna. Still a quiet place, with no massive tourism activity yet, greenery is what you will see the most. The Savegre river is astonishing, and its sound is like the perfect match to the landscape. If you are looking for a mountain/forest destination while you are here in Costa Rica, I will recommend San Gerardo de Dota.

The Quetzal valley has its own micro-climate, so its actually a lot colder and less humid than the rest of Costa Rica. You can walk everywhere, it's super safe and the river rushes near the street across some beautiful forest areas, there's no way you don't detox from city vibes in this place. The restaurants Lauraceas and Alma de Arbol are excellent, with super friendly waiters, modern menus and accesible prices. Los Lagos cabins have an awesome mountain view and are near the river, offer an excellent breakfast and are right in the centre of the valley. Bring appropriate clothing -preferably waterproof and with good hiking shoes so you get the most out of your stay regardless of the weather.

Birders paradise.
Birders paradise. This is the best place to see quetzal birds. 1 full day is enough. You must be here for a 5.30am quetzal birding tour if you want to see the quetzals. Cool- about 50° at night, 62-70° during the day.

San Gerardo de Dota has the perfect weather, it's also a very small community. Might need a bit more night life I suppose, but it's not a big deal.
Make sure you bring sunblock and warm clothes for the nights.

The hotel is located in heavily wooded area with a lot of birds and wildlife. My wife wanted to shoot a bird called Quetzal. She had read that this property had a few Quetzals in the woods nearby. They are shy birds so they are very hard to spot. The host did help my wife to find one bird high up in the tree. Earlier that day, my wife went with another guide to spot some Quetzals, so she had a few good pictures. There is a good restaurant within a short driving distance from the property. They serve good meals at reasonable prices.
The hotel is very special. We had our own cosy lodge. The staff is very friendly and helpful. As it can be a bit cold at night, we even had hot-water bottles. There is also a heater.
In the spacious area of the Trogon Lodge, there is very much to see, for example different species of plants and animals like humming birds, lizards and even Quatzals.
The lodge does also offer a shorter and a longer exciting hiking track in the cloud forest.
We booked a Quetzal watching tour in the morning and really saw about 5 Quetzals.
During our three week trip to Costa Rica I'd say this place has by far the best value anywhere. Four star hotel for a two star price. The wifi was very fast, breakfast was good (difficult for a vegan though), restaurant was delicious but slightly higher in prices, and the staff is very helpful and most speak English. The access to trails was great for birding and botanizing. The room was exceptional, clean, large and beat our expectations.
The outstanding features of this hotel are the birdlife ( the hotel puts out feeders for both hummingbirds and fruit eaters, and we spent hours on the terrace watching the birds) and the location right beside the beautiful, wild, Savegre river. Our 2 roomed cabin was spacious and comfortable, with a veranda overlooking the river. The previous day our neighbours had seen quetzals in the garden, though we were not so lucky.
Hotel Suria is in a great location, near the river. It has a beautiful dining room and gardens, nice rooms, and friendly, gracious staff.
We traveled from SJO in a private van to the valley with Adobe Tours, March 2023, for $182 US. I recommend you do the country a favor and not drive the mountains yourself, as roads are rough and CR has a wonderful system of shuttles and drivers.
The location is amazing, deep in a valley in San Gerardo de Dota, close to Los Quetzales National Park.
The unit looks like a converted container or trailer and is well equipped and comfortable.
Like others have mentioned, it does get cold at night. This was ok for us, but it was a huge (and welcome) contrast to the searing heat on the Osa Peninsula.
It's a lovely place with nice accommodations, a beautiful area with their own forrest, waterfall and pond on hotel's property. The pond could be seen from our room, and the sound of Savegre river lulled our sleep at night. Consider the temperature is considerably cooler than most of Costa Rica's destinations, so bring your raincoats and jackets.
Brilliant hotel especially if you are into birds especially if you want to see a Quetzal. Rooms were great. Breakfast was fantastic. The guide (part of the family) was knowledgeable, kind and informative. Great trials direct from the hotel. Possibly the best hotel during our 3 week stay in Costa Rica.
Great location, mostly worth staying because of the private trails above the hotel. We didn't have dinner, just lunch at the bar, the food wasn't really the best.. breakfast was so-so, and for some reason it was really cold in the restaurant at breakfast. Rooms are good.
The hotel is in a beautiful spot and everything is very comfortable and immaculately presented. The garden is particularly lovely and we spent a lot of time watching the hummingbirds there. The restaurant is also excellent.
We ordered the typical breakfast (gallo pinto, eggs, etc); it was delicious and sufficient in size. It was also served with fresh tropical fruit and good coffee. The views at this hotel are beautiful, nestled into nature!
Casa Monge is charming, we got to see a quetzal and walk along the river. Plus it’s close enough to Savegre Hotel, where we got to see the millennial oak tree in the oak trail. Anthony is really kind and a wonderful host.
Very friendly and helpful owner.
Big and very clean room.
Very nice terrace with a nice view in the forest. A lot of hummingbirds, toucanlets and other birds at the hotel.
Close to different restaurants and cafe's.
Such a lovely experience in this quiet gem of a hotel. The staff was welcoming and the room clean and comfortable. They provided a delicious breakfast. I would come back in a heartbeat!
