Laureceas Lodge exceeded our expectations. Incredible scenery, the room has an incredible view of the Savegre river and the sound of the river helps you sleep. It is very cold at night and the rooms have enough blankets, they even offer heaters for the room in case you need it. The food in the restaurant is great, all using fresh local ingredients, the coffee is some of the best we've had, it's produced on site and you're included in the room to try it. We will definitely go back.

Lovely location set in beautiful grounds. We sat watching the hummingbirds at the feeders for ages. Alot of thought has been put into the rustic cabins. Very impressed and the picture windows gave us a spectacular view of the valley in the morning. We walked one of the trails from the Lodge to a lovely waterfall. A bit steep and slippy in places but worth doing. Got pretty cold at night but plenty of blankets provided that kept us warm. Owner spoke good English which made up for our lack of Spanish. Definitely recommend this Lodge.

The valley is beautiful and the property has many hiking trails and an extensive garden with many birds. Food is good but there are other good restaurants nearby. They offer tours to search for the Quetzal. I didn't use them as I had seen them before and saw them again on my own

Our expectations were quite high, and the reality was even better! The lodge is perfectly located and spread in the middle of cloud forest. You get your private villa, each has its own privacy and fabulous views through the ceiling-to-floor windows. Yes, it is a bit of walk from the reception area, but that is the main magic there - the seclusion and privacy. I read here lots of negative reviews about the black bathrooms. I don’t understand why it is issue for you? And off course you are in the middle of a cloud forest where the humidity reaches 100%. I am sure that the staff is doing their best, but sometimes a bit of mould can appear (we did not notice it, but again it was mentioned in a review before). All facilities in the bathroom worked perfectly including hot water, so we had no problems. We very much appreciated that this resort is doing maximum to be eco friendly. They have their own special concept. You should take it as a Eco-lodge rather than classic resort. They also provide really great conditioner which helped a lot with my sun-damaged hair :-) Breakfast is a la carte and is very tasty. One morning we even ordered 1 extra portion and resort did not charge us for it. The onsite restaurant is opened for lunch and dinner (we didn’t try it). Within few minutes walk from the resort, there are 2 local restaurants + minimarket. Miriam’s restaurant is a must! We booked both arrival and departure transfers via Dantica and both worked perfectly. Driver was ontime and journey was smooth. We also booked the Quetzal tour via Dantica and it was well organized (for us, it was a bit of mass tourism, around 30 people chasing 4 quetzal birds, but we would never see these beautiful birds without the guide, so it was worth it). Every member of the staff were very nice to us and helpful, it was a real pleasure to stay there. It is one of a kind experience. Don’t hesitate to book this wonderful place.

A small, but cozy cabin. The heater kept us toasty and the blankets on the bed are super warm. The shower is hot. There is a coffee maker. Ana is very friendly and helpful. The cabins are opposite a cafe and next to a pizza restaurant. The spare single bed was a great place to put our stuff.

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 garden of the location is beautiful and there is a nice hiking trail right next to the hotel. You can also book multiple hikes/bird watching activities in the hotel. The morning walk to see the Quetzal was our highlight. The guide was very good and extremely friendly - and we saw the bird and got amazing pictures. One very nice touch was that they would put hot water bottles under your blanket for the rather cold nights.

The hotel was in a stunning location, right next to the river in the bottom of the San Gerado de Dota Valley. Every morning we were treated to flocks of parakeets flying around and hummingbirds in the grounds. The rooms were spotless and equipped to a high standard.... Superbly comfortable beds too. The staff were wonderful, and the restaurant food was excellent. All in all a fantastic place to stay

Delicious food and great service from Miriam and her family, who also arranged a successful quetzal tour with an excellent local guide Alex. Cabins are small but very cosy & suited us much better than the smarter looking hotels and lodges further down the valley. Lots of birds on the deck behind the cafe too. We loved it here.

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
