Hotel Savegre, hotel in San Gerardo de Dota

Set in Providencia, 42 km from Manuel Antonio, Hotel Savegre features a restaurant and free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar. Free private parking is available on site.

The food was lovely. The main part of the hotel was nice. It only really has a restaurant and bar. There is a separate spa area run by a different company. I had a massage which was nice, but very expensive.

Lauraceas Lodge, hotel in San Gerardo de Dota

Located in San Gerardo de Dota, 19 km from Cerro de la Muerte, Lauraceas Lodge provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar.

Family-owned Lauraceas Lodge is a wonderful place to stay in the beautiful San Gerardo de Dota area. The team was super friendly and helpful, the locally sourced food and drinks fantastic and the scenery of the area is breathtaking with so many great opportunities to hike through the cloud forest, see beautiful birds and just enjoy the natural beauty. From the Inter-American Highway it’s about a 10km winding way down, but it’s safe enough and, there aren’t too many tourists, although those in the know are well aware of this paradise. Do visit, and stay here instead of at the Savegre Hotel!

Las Cataratas Lodge, hotel in San Gerardo de Dota

Situated in San Gerardo de Dota, 13 km from Cerro de la Muerte, Las Cataratas Lodge features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

Fantastic. The bungalow was super cosy. We had imagined it would be much simpler. There are enough blankets for the night when it gets cold. The bathroom was also super neat and clean. The garden is beautiful, with lots of flowers that attract the hummingbirds. The food in the restaurant is fantastic. There are huge portions that are fresh and delicious. The staff are incredibly nice and helpful. One of the best accommodations we have stayed in Costa Rica. There are various hiking trails from the accommodation into the cloud forest and to waterfalls.

Offering an a la carte restaurant, Dantica Cloud Forest Lodge is located in Providencia. It is surrounded by private tropical gardens and boasts an on-site art gallery and free daily breakfast.

The lodge is very beautiful and owns a private forest. Bungalows are in different places of the forest and very quiet. The lodge organizes many different guided tours to explore and observe the birds in the vicinity and the surrounding. The breakfast is correct and delicious. Elisa was the only friendly staff I met there. She even organized a taxi to go to another region.

Hospedaje Casa Monge, hotel in San Gerardo de Dota

Boasting a garden, Hospedaje Casa Monge is situated in San Gerardo de Dota, within 17 km of Cerro de la Muerte. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the apartment free of charge.

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.

    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 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 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 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!

    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 hotels strongest points were the people, the garden courtyard outside of our rooms and the restaurant. We saw a quetzal on three occasions in 2 days. The hiking was very nice and the trails were well taken care of. This was the first bar I went to in Costa Rica with a Negroni on the cocktail menu. Well done and thanks it was good!

    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.
