There is something just magical about Las Cataratas Lodge. The five guest cabins are cozy, private and have wonderful views of the mountains. It is a family-owned business and David (son) and Bernard (father) were welcoming hosts as well as our chefs. Their food is made to order and absolutely delicious! The property has its own hiking trails with a river and two lovely waterfalls. The property is a bit above the village of San Gerado de Dota and we did drive down into the village one day, where most of the other accomodation is - we found we much prefered the location of Las Cataratas Lodge as it is high on the mountain instead of down in the valley so it has much better views.

The whole experience from start to finish was delightful. A wonderful location in a remote part of the countryside with great facilities and helpful staff. One of the best places we stayed at on our trip to Costa Rica.

Perfect tiny house in a cute nature place. The river is closed. You can park your car. It is cold during night but you have everything you need (blankets). Very clean, hot shower and the kitchen is well equiped. We saw a quetzal really early in the morning !

Our stay in this beautiful corner of paradise was simply perfect! The wooden cabins, nestled in nature, offer a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The view of the mountains is breathtaking, truly a spectacle at any time of day. We really appreciated the tranquility of the place. A big thank you to the staff and especially to the lovely grandmother who delighted us every morning with giant breakfasts, made with love and local products. A gesture that made our stay even more special! We absolutely recommend this place to anyone seeking peace, nature, and an authentic, unforgettable experience.

Beautiful location, absolutely stunning views of the forest. Staff extremely friendly and helpful but not overbearing. Lots of beautiful birds around. Highly recommend taking the quetzal tour to see this amazing bird with Grieven, who is really an expert on these creatures. There is also some very nice, but very hilly and tough hikes on the property which are worth the climb. Highly recommend

A little piece of paradise in the heart of nature It’s hard to put into words a place this magical. From the moment we arrived, Kenneth welcomed us with genuine kindness, truly one of the best hosts we’ve ever met. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he made our stay feel effortless, warm, and memorable from beginning to end. We’ve travelled all around the world, but here we found something rare: peace, tranquility, and a quiet heartbeat that instantly soothes you. Our lodge was cosy, comfortable, and perfectly blended into the natural surroundings, with views that were simply… breathtaking. Kenneth also organised a morning bird-watching tour for us, a beautiful, serene experience we highly recommend. And breakfast? Absolutely delicious and the perfect start to the day. If you’re looking to escape, unwind, reconnect, and enjoy stunning nature, this is the place. Truly a slice of paradise on Earth. Thank you Kenneth 🙏 Pura Vida 🌿

It's beautiful, lots of nice restaurants, The Pizzeria Los Colibries, chef Victor, was fabulous and not expensive plus all organic. Nice restaurants all throughout the valley although all were associated with Lodges we did not stay at.

I really enjoyed the bird feeders off the deck. I felt that for the price of the room, breakfast should have been included in the price, which is very typical in Costa Rica. The diner and breakfast were very good.

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.

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.

Beautiful view from our windows, you can’t beat waking up to that! A very peaceful setting, good for relaxing and getting away from it all. There was great food in the restaurant. There were nice trails around the hotel to explore. Staff were really helpful and kind all the time. The hotel is in a great location to spot many beautiful birds. We had some amazing food and coffee in the village of San Gerardo de Dota also. It got chilly in the evenings and we enjoyed using the ethanol fire to make our room nice and cosy!

The location was very nice, but the road to the hotel needs to be improved. There are stretches of road that are paved and others that are not. As a result, the driving to and from the lodge is very treacherous. The staff, breakfast and restaurant food were excellent.
