The gardens and birds especially hummingbirds right on the property were incredible to just wander around and explore. The included breakfast was amazing, and the staff were all very welcoming and friendly.

If you are looking for quetzals this is the place to be. We had four different sightings in three days and took pictures and videos. Our hosts were really welcoming and showed us round the property which is extensive and contains trails to waterfalls and surrounding mountains. Good training for Parque Nacional Chirripó! The property was well equipped and the bed very comfortable.

Large ptivate cabine close to nature with large balcony facing the mountain. We saw green toucanets from the balcony while having breakfast!
Comfortable bed with lots of blankets. Hot water available.
Large parking area.
No kitchen but tea and coffee machine in the cabine.
Don't be too late for check-in as road to get there is a steep and it is not easy to drive at night.

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).JuliaUnited States - 10Scored 10

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.FabianCosta Rica - 10Scored 10

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.Ramon MontealegreCosta Rica - 10Scored 10
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.JesusCosta Rica - 10Scored 10

- From US$164.98 per night9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 1,102 reviewsGreat place for viewing birds. Went out early with Raul one morning. Had read great reviews about his guiding and he was wonderful, able to answer every question with ease. Highly recommend (by far the best guide of our trip). Our best sighting of quetzals and toucanets however was from the entrance to the hotel. Magnificent. Make sure you go to the humming bird garden as you get to see such a variety close up. Room was ok, nothing special but sufficiently comfortable. Food was good but not outstanding. Some lovely trails for walking.StephaneSwitzerland
- From US$60 per night9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 133 reviewsThe 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.Cindy WangUnited States

- From US$90.40 per night8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 150 reviewsThe 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.
gillgill999United Kingdom - From US$104.40 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 804 reviewsHotel 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.Sea2SeaUnited States
- From US$60 per night9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 133 reviewsThe 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.
Leigh ClarkGermany - From US$157.07 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 338 reviewsIt'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.KevinCosta Rica
