Beautiful botanical gardens and diverse bird life surround beautifully designed and appointed cabin style rooms. A dinner of fresh trout from their ponds, complimented by apple products from their orchard, was a special treat. We also took advantage of a quetzal tour with a very good guide, Melvin, and got lots of fabulous photos of this amazing bird.

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

Was not prepared for how beautiful the location was. Hummingbird feeders were lively! Quetzals in the backyard! the lovely seating area by the river! At check-in she shared a plethora of activities nearby.
Situated in San Gerardo de Dota, Cabañas San Gerardo offers accommodation with a balcony. There is a fully equipped private bathroom with shower and free toiletries.
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 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 facilities are absolutely beautiful and the service was incredible. Greivin, the manager was super helpful upon check in and also guided us on a really cool Quetzal watching tour.
The hotel offers a really nice breakfast in a beautiful dining hall, and also the interior design of the common areas is tastefully selected. We enjoyed a nice round of Billiard while having coffee and beers, and enjoying the cozy fire next to us. The staff really helps make your stay as pleasant as possible.
It was the most friendly staff I ever had! So helpful, making a lunchbox for us twice since we left to early for breakfast.
The food in the restaurant was also very, very nice, especially the Trout's which are from the river nearby. And the prices are very reasonable. And again, the staff in the restaurant was so friendly! We had a really great experience here.
You can walk from the hotel to the start of the river trails, which was also very nice.
During our three week trip to Costa Rica I'd say this place has by far the best value anywhere. Four star hotel for a two star price. The wifi was very fast, breakfast was good (difficult for a vegan though), restaurant was delicious but slightly higher in prices, and the staff is very helpful and most speak English. The access to trails was great for birding and botanizing. The room was exceptional, clean, large and beat our expectations.
Beautiful location, staff extremely nice, and great breakfast. We used the guide recommended by the hotel to see the quetzal.... a great moment... Furthermore, we went for the waterfall hike (a little scary but also a great moment for our trip). It's better to have a 4x4 to to come to the place because the village is a the end of a 10% slope for 8 kms (from 3070m altitude to 2300m)
The 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.
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.
The location of the hotel is amazing and a bit more secluded then others we passed by on the way. As such, we felt more connected with the beautiful natural surroundings. All of the hotel staff were very helpful and good tempered. Additionally, the grounds are well kept with lots of flowers and birds.
Hotel Suria is a great place to stay, the staff is suuuuuper nice and they were there to help in anything we requested. The hotel is pet friendly, and this makes a total difference when traveling with a pet, to see a staff so involved.
We ordered the typical breakfast (gallo pinto, eggs, etc); it was delicious and sufficient in size. It was also served with fresh tropical fruit and good coffee. The views at this hotel are beautiful, nestled into nature!
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.
Such a lovely experience in this quiet gem of a hotel. The staff was welcoming and the room clean and comfortable. They provided a delicious breakfast. I would come back in a heartbeat!
This place is a gem, the rooms are modern, big and very comfortable, the place is well located and the restaurant is exceptional. Please, make yourself a favor and choose this hotel!
Hotel facilities are amazing, personnel is great and location is the best in San Gerardo.
The food is also really good and fairly priced, the Apple pie is a MUST TRY for all.
