The cabin was beautiful, all timber which smelled amazing and was fitting for the location. Beautiful big windows looking out towards the river and the absolute best shower we had in a 13 day trip. Alicia who's grandfather was one the pioneers of the valley was absolutely delightful and provided us with outstanding service, and it was fantastic to learn her families history. We genuinely hope to come back and visit again.

Lovely location set in beautiful grounds. We sat watching the hummingbirds at the feeders for ages. Alot of thought has been put into the rustic cabins. Very impressed and the picture windows gave us a spectacular view of the valley in the morning. We walked one of the trails from the Lodge to a lovely waterfall. A bit steep and slippy in places but worth doing. Got pretty cold at night but plenty of blankets provided that kept us warm. Owner spoke good English which made up for our lack of Spanish. Definitely recommend this Lodge.

This was a beautiful magical place. The best place to see Quetzal is near an avacado tree right on this property. The cabin is right on the river, walking distance to two restaurants with beautiful patios. The drive from Quetzales national park entrance is lots of switchbacks and you must be very careful. Look for the “unicorn lodge” sign on your left coming down the mountain in San Gerardo. “Casa monge” itself isn’t well signed from the main road. I would recommend this place to anyone, it was fantastic! Dirche, the owner, was absolutely lovey and took us out at 5:30 to see the quetzals. I would also recommend the waterfall hike about 2kms down the hill from Casa Monge- a bit treacherous at times but well worth it, 2-3 hrs total!

We booked two nights here. The lodges were very sweet, cozy for two people. There was a queen sized bed and a single bed. There was hot water in the shower. The true highlight was the adjacent restaurant, Miriam’s Quetzals which belongs to the same owners. We arrived bit after 7 pm, when it closes however they offered us to stay for dinner, which we very much appreciated. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic, great dishes, excellent coffee and the view was simply amazing. They feed birds and so while having breakfast you can observe Colibris, tucans etc from up close!! We highly recommend. Also they do help organize guides for quetzal spotting, if desired. The area is great for hiking, nearby is a waterfall hike and further down the valley is the savegre area for longer hikes.

It's beautiful, lots of nice restaurants, The Pizzeria Los Colibries, chef Victor, was fabulous and not expensive plus all organic. Nice restaurants all throughout the valley although all were associated with Lodges we did not stay at.

I really enjoyed the bird feeders off the deck. I felt that for the price of the room, breakfast should have been included in the price, which is very typical in Costa Rica. The diner and breakfast were very good.

This place is a bird-lover's paradise!

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.

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.

The hotel was in a stunning location, right next to the river in the bottom of the San Gerado de Dota Valley. Every morning we were treated to flocks of parakeets flying around and hummingbirds in the grounds. The rooms were spotless and equipped to a high standard.... Superbly comfortable beds too. The staff were wonderful, and the restaurant food was excellent. All in all a fantastic place to stay

The road to the hotel is perfectly doable with a 2wd, sometimes a few potholes or a bit steep. But nothing to worry about. Don't get the negative reviews about that... The restaurant was good. The room was good with a nice shower and a view over the beautiful garden
