    We spent 5 weeks travelling in Costa Rica and this was definitely one of the best places we stayed at. Excellent lodges, lots of space, great shower and perfect beds. Staff very friendly. Breakfast is amazing. We also had dinner in the restaurant which was also very good, reasonable prices.

    Awesome wooden lodges in the amazing San Gerardo de dota valley. The lodges are massive and have a beautiful river view. It did get cold at night but the massive blanket did the job and the room was super cozy. The restaurant was the best we had in Costa Rica, you have to try the trouts and avocados! We also did a quetzal tours in the morning and it was awesome!

    Very modern and new cabins, all individual so no noisy neighbors. Very spacious and clean, daily cleaning is optional. Amazing shower!! By far the best beds we’ve slept in during our trip in Costa Rica! Breakfast is made fresh every morning. Dinner in the restaurant is very good. Staff is friendly and makes sure everything is taken care of. Compared to our other stay in the valley this was 100 times better and even cheaper! You won’t regret staying at the lodge!

    This beautiful lodge, high in the Dantica Cloud Forest, was a great experience. We were just sorry we hadn't scheduled more time there. The garden paths, views, and cabins, were all lovely. Of the two weeks we spent in Costa Rica, I'd say this lodge was the nicest place we stayed.

    This lodge is appealing to birdwatchers and has good trails within the hotel grounds. In Costa Rican terms it is a little expensive but no doubt similar to this type of large style lodge. The meals were good and the showers were powerful with plenty hot water. Guests are supplied with wood for a real fire. We put it on in the evening and it kept the room warm.

    An excellent option in this birder's paradise. The lodge is very new, with modern, well-equipped rooms and bathrooms we have not found elsewhere in Costa Rica. Friendly staff, tasty breakfast options, a lodge-owned private garden with lots of birds - not sure what else we could have asked for. Highly recommended!
