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

The hotel is designed for your privacy while allowing you to view nature from your room. The spa jacuzzi in our room was healing and warmed me after a few kilometers of walking up hill. The room is equipped with heating and cooling system that works great! We were very happy to have chosen Dantica. My son was thrilled with the views, birds, and food. I had a lovely lunch and we tried the pizzeria nearby after sunset. Delicious. Very safe area and super quiet! We didn't have a car but if you did you could explore the area and see much more but from our room we were busy seeing various birds. I recommend the Merlin bird ID application and binoculars. Beds were super clean, firm, and the place smelled very hygienic and sterilized linens.

Excellent accomodation with really comfortable beds. We had some trouble finding it, but the communication with the owner was helpful and fast, so that the small hickup was resolved within minutes. The check-in was then uncomplicated with a key box and code, and the payment was easily done digitally. Perfect! The house itself is cozy and well equipped, very private with ample parking space. We can´t say much more as we only stayed one night.

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 location in the Valley San Gerardo de Dota was quite impressive. At more than 2000 m above sea level the jungle is still lush and full of life. The garden with the bungalows is full of flowers and colibris. The bungalows are spacious and have very comfortable, large beds. The restaurant has a wide choice of food. Breakfast is excellent. We enjoyed walking the trails in the private reserve. As our car's battery ran out of power, staff was ready to help (at a cost).

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

We traveled with our pet Pug and it was great. There aren't many hotels that accept pets so this one excedeed our expectations in that regard. The location is excellent to do some hikes (trails start relatively close to the hotel) e.g. the Public Savegre river trail or the private trails on Hotel Savegre. The staff is super friendly

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.
