Our cabin 0 was wonderful. We loved it.

    This was a perfect stay in this remote valley. The room was comfortable and the staff was very friendly. In addition the restaurant was excellent and not expected in such a remote location. Short distance to hiking trails and the lodge private garden were nice additions.

    Gorgeous eco-lodge in the cloud forest; stunning gardens with plenty of bird life; very kind and attentive staff; simple but sparkling accommodation. I loved sitting in my rocking chair on the veranda, taking photos of the hummingbirds when it was too rainy to walk.

    A very well appointed and new cabin in San gerardo. Comfortable and a great location in the valley. We took our own food but there are lots of options nearby to eat out. Walks next to chalet and in the savegre lodge were excellent.

    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!
