The hotel is very special. We had our own cosy lodge. The staff is very friendly and helpful. As it can be a bit cold at night, we even had hot-water bottles. There is also a heater. In the spacious area of the Trogon Lodge, there is very much to see, for example different species of plants and animals like humming birds, lizards and even Quatzals. The lodge does also offer a shorter and a longer exciting hiking track in the cloud forest. We booked a Quetzal watching tour in the morning and really saw about 5 Quetzals.

Beautiful setting and the place to see birds. The rooms were cozy, the restaurant was excellent, and the view spectacular. Expect somewhat chilly nights, but crisp, clear air.

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 🌿

We booked two nights here. The lodges were very sweet, cozy for two people. There was a queen sized bed and a single bed. There was hot water in the shower. The true highlight was the adjacent restaurant, Miriam’s Quetzals which belongs to the same owners. We arrived bit after 7 pm, when it closes however they offered us to stay for dinner, which we very much appreciated. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic, great dishes, excellent coffee and the view was simply amazing. They feed birds and so while having breakfast you can observe Colibris, tucans etc from up close!! We highly recommend. Also they do help organize guides for quetzal spotting, if desired. The area is great for hiking, nearby is a waterfall hike and further down the valley is the savegre area for longer hikes.

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.

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 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.
