Trogon Lodge ★★★

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

Hotel de Montaña Suria ★★★

"Disappointing and Unprofessional Experience I had high expectations when booking a stay at Hotel de Montaña Suria, but unfortunately, my experience was nothing short of a nightmare. I booked and PAID for a specific room, yet upon arrival, I was deceived and placed in a CPL accommodation instead—a tiny, uncomfortable, and completely inadequate space that was NOT what I had reserved. This was unprofessional, misleading, and borderline nasty. The room was cramped, uncomfortable, and far below the standard of what I had paid for. Instead of a peaceful stay, I endured a terrible night, unable to rest properly due to the discomfort and frustration of being cheated. Management showed zero accountability for this bait-and-switch tactic, which is completely unacceptable in the hospitality industry. If you value honesty, quality service, and getting what you pay for, stay far away from this place. I do NOT recommend this hotel and strongly advise others to avoid it at all costs. Deception and poor service should never be tolerated, especially when guests are paying for a specific experience. Absolutely disgraceful."

Paraíso Quetzal Lodge ★★★

"We scouted for a halfway spot to overnight between Costa Rica’s south Pacific beaches and San Jose, during a recent CR road trip, and it soon became clear that Paraíso Quetzal Lodge was the ideal stop. We didn’t pick this birders paradise because we’re actually bird-nerds, but because of the wonderful accommodations, lodge and grounds. Each looked invitingly comfy, cozy and delightful and its mid-way location was ideal. We were provided one of the ‘new’ cabins close to the lodge, due to our excessive luggage. It was so nice of them to accommodate us! The rooms themselves were comfortable and inviting, with plenty of blankets and a small table-top heater to keep you warm, during the cold mountain nights. The views were standout – jaw-dropping even from the room, but the vista from our balcony of the valley below and mountains beyond, were unparalleled. With the verdant surrounds absolutely everywhere, the tropical bird spotting was at a frenetic pace. Our only beef was the shower temps could have been warmer. The space was lovely, clean and modern, it’s just that this am ritual was akin to bathing in lukewarm water, in a walk-in fridge (@max heat). The lodge itself was the star of the show. There was a very reasonably priced restaurant with delicious food (from breakfast, through dinner) and similar awesome views. The cute little shop supplied some unique souvenir finds and the precious wee bar served up great drinks to ensure we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The centerpiece was a roaring fireplace with comfy armchairs around it to relax in, as if to solidify the experience as perfect. We popped out with the more avid bird watchers on the hummingbird deck and were incredibly impressed with the volume and variety that we saw. Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to catch sight of the Quetzal itself, but we would have had more opportunity if we had a longer stay and took a morning tour. That in no way stops us from whole-heartedly endorsing this San Gerardo de Dota lodge for your next Costa Rican stay. If a rustic, cozy accommodations vibe is your thing, this is the place for you! The amazing tropical bird watching can simply serve as a novel bonus."

Dantica Cloud Forest Lodge ★★★

"Bungalows med otroligt läge i Nebulosan. Boden djupa fönster på hela bredden med spännande utsikt. Kolibris flyger till balkongen, kvällen mysiga rumsmän - vad mer? Underbar atmosfär i den anslutna restaurangen med pianomusik på frukost, en njutning. En trevlig upplevelse runt!"

Monbellis ★★★

Toucanet Lodge ★★

"I highly recommend the Toucanet Lodge. I stayed four nights in one of the Cabins and would certainly go back and will recommend El Toucanet to friends and family. The cabin in which I stayed was clean and comfortable. Local Costa Rica. Coffee on the porch in the morning was a great way to start the day. The Lodge and dining room were spacious and well appointed. I love the pictures on the wall of the local attraction, the Quetzal. I also appreciated having wildlife guides and birding books to help me know what I had seen during the day. The grounds were well kept with plenty of flowers that attract hummingbirds. The grounds include an extensive trail that went up to much higher elevations. I was able to walk more than a mile and found a forested section with large cedar trees and eventually found a spot to see the entire valley. I took several photos. The food was excellent with many choices. I especially enjoyed the trout fillet and the two different ceviche appetizers. The amount of care taken in the meal preparation, local natural ingredients used and the table service were outstanding. Jonathan, the chef, has excellent skills and showed creativity in every meal he prepared. Taking a few minutes to share a conversation with me after each meal made the experience more personal, warm and friendly. Michael did an excellent job as host and manager. Each morning Michael was available and constantly checked in on how I was doing. From my initial contact with the lodge, Michael was able to answer my questions, make some suggestions and always handled my requests with care. I was able to have the best of vacations because of Michael’s assistance. I wanted to see birds and other wildlife. Michael was able to arrange local guides to assist. Both guides that were arranged were great. Both knew the places to go and when to be there. I was able to see six Quetzals, a couple of Capuchin Monkeys and the Costa Rican Pigmy owl. In addition to these highlights, I saw many more birds and have some of the best coffee Costa Rica has to offer. The guides made the experience seem effortless and I am now left with great memories. Both Michael and Jonathan are excellent ambassadors of the fine country of Costa Rica and the Dota region. I highly recommend El Toucanet Lodge."

Cabinas El Quetzal ★★

Cedrela Eco-Lodge & Restaurante ★★

"Alla recensioner av denna lägenhet är korrekta.Det är en speciell plats med speciella utsikter.Vi var här en natt under regnsäsongen. Det fanns en brand i skogen som skulle ha varit välkomna på natten när det var coolt men hotellet kunde inte ge matcher! Det fanns en tom låda vid brandplatsen...Några klumpar: Var medveten om att vägen är i fruktansvärt tillstånd och den alternativa vägen är endast praktiskt genomförbar i en 4x4 Det finns begränsad varmt vatten. Vad som finns i duschen serveras av en mini-elektrisk värmare med exponerad tråd som inte skulle passera mönster i USA eller EU.Det fanns inga sängsida eller läsljus i vårt hytt tintackarna ljudde med fallande regndroppar. Jag kan bara säga att jag inte kunde sova eftersom det låter som om någon höll på att ta taket hela natten. Restaurangen är trist att vi hade trott i en orange soppa som var Michelin* kvalitet, men priset på en måltid utan vin var £60 eller $75 per person som är Londonpriser eller mer."

Curuba Lodge ★★★★

"Fantastiskt ställe, tveka inte, bara boka det.Du kommer att ha noll beklagan.Stor atmosfär, mat, spår, blommor, hytten, allt det.Säkert att gå tillbaka."
