• Trogon Lodge San Gerardo de Dota
  "Great fun"
  "Wonderful family fun here! The guides are friendly and helpful, showing you birds, waterfalls, jungle tours by horseback and/or hiking. We loved the room, the comforts of the lodge, and the breakfasts by the hummingbird feeders. The beauty of this place is beyond description. The dinner menu is limi..."ted, but we were never disappointed with the food. " More >
• Dantica Cloud Forest Lodge
  "Quetzal Heaven"
  "This is THE place to see quetzals, as we saw several, the first one within 5 minutes of parking the car near the avocado trees. Otherwise, the rooms were truly breathtaking with an amazing view of the forest, the restaurant (Le Tapir) was superb (one of the best in Costa Rica), and the staff were ve..."ry friendly and helpful. Yes, the heating isn't really ideal and the rooms are quite a hike from the restaurant and reception, but these are really minor complaints. Of course, one comes here to try and see the legendary quetzal, and although I was afraid that I would be disappointed, our guide Carlos produced in spades. I have done a lot of nature travel around the world, and I would definitely put this in the "Luxury" category. " More >

Dantica lodges were very unique..."- each lodge was private, which we loved, and had spectacular views of the forest. It was quite chilly at night, but the firey jacuzzi, little ethanol fireplace, and nice bedding kept us really cozy after a long day of hiking/birding. Definitely be prepared for cold weather (at least in April) and lots of walking. The high altitude combined with travel fatigue made the hikes a little rough the first few days. Even walking to the lodge was a trek! But, for us, this was one of the best parts- we enjoyed being active outdoors. The grounds were first rate for us- there are several trails that take you all the way down to a lovely river/stream and back up all around the area. These hikes... " More >
