Dantica Cloud Forest Lodge

"The room was clean, the breakfast was good and the service was good. The hotel's own protection area is very large, and the forest trail is very good. There are many gardens and nearby road birds near the hotel reception desk, and the environment is good. The only downside is that the room is far from the hotel reception desk and the restaurant, and it is not convenient for bad legs."

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

Hotel de Montaña Suria

"The hotel staff went above and beyond to help us with a great difficulty we were experiencing with DHL to receive a parcel. Christina was incredibly helpful demonstrating genuine care and professionalism. We are very grateful to Christina for her extreme kindness. Malon at the restaurant was excellent with his efficiency. He has patiently dealt with our request for the duration of our stay. Their dedication to guest satisfaction truly elevated our experience, and we are left with deep appreciation for their hospitality and commitment. The hotel is an absolute gem and if you like Costa Rican nature and joys of birding, we can't recommend it enough."

Paraíso Quetzal Lodge

"Super locatie voor vogelspotten. Prachtige parktuin met veel kolibries en andere vogels. Mooie houten chalets, op ruim perceel. Ons chalet was iets gedateerd, maar zeer schoon. Informeer dus vooraf waar je in het park wordt ingedeeld. Het ontbijt en diner zijn in restaurant."

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."

Curuba Lodge

"The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable and the hotel is very comfortable. The kitchen is delicious, dinner and breakfast. The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable and is very comfortable."
