The property was well equipped and the bed very comfortable.

Hotel de Montaña Suria, hotel in San Gerardo de Dota

Amid a forest is located Hotel de Montaña Suria, a property that offers free Wi-Fi connection throughout and complimentary breakfast with your 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

    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.

    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.

    The hotel is quite large, with a good restaurant and friendly staff. The location is ideal for bird watching in Los Quetzales National Park. The room in a double bungalow was very clean and well furnished, the balcony overlooking the pond was very nice. To get acclimated there are a few hiking trails that start right at the hotel, the pristine scenery is breathtaking. Not to be underestimated is the cool climate due to the altitude of San Gerardo (over 2000 m), in March at night 8-12 ° C and during the day for hiking very pleasant 15-20 ° C.

    The 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.

    The hotel is very special. We had our own cosy lodge. The staff is very friendly and helpful. As it can be a bit cold at night, we even had hot-water bottles. There is also a heater. In the spacious area of the Trogon Lodge, there is very much to see, for example different species of plants and animals like humming birds, lizards and even Quatzals. The lodge does also offer a shorter and a longer exciting hiking track in the cloud forest. We booked a Quetzal watching tour in the morning and really saw about 5 Quetzals.

    We enjoyed the setting of the hotel located in the nature. We were able to hike in the surrounding area. The room has great nature photography on the wall. We can look out to mountain views. The bed is firm and comfortable. The hotel staff are very responsive and provided good on call services, the breakfast was well prepared. We also enjoyed lunch and dinner. One best things was to see a couple of quetzals near the reception area. We were so happy to see those magical birds up close and personal.

    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.

    Hotel 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.

    Hotel Savegre is a natural escape; the cabin where we’re staying was beautiful, super clean and surrounded by nature. waking up by the birds and the sound of the river was wonderful. The staff of the hotel were all friendly and willing to help with whatever you need and the questions you have about the place. Highly recommend going to the spa after taking a walk to the waterfalls!

    It'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.

    We traveled with our pet Pug and it was great. There aren't many hotels that accept pets so this one excedeed our expectations in that regard. The location is excellent to do some hikes (trails start relatively close to the hotel) e.g. the Public Savegre river trail or the private trails on Hotel Savegre. The staff is super friendly

    Casa Monge is charming, we got to see a quetzal and walk along the river. Plus it’s close enough to Savegre Hotel, where we got to see the millennial oak tree in the oak trail. Anthony is really kind and a wonderful host.
