The bungalows are built in a traditional way and surprise at the same time with a modern and very comfortable interior. The Lodge comes with its own huge garden (like a park) full of wonderful flowers and birds and offers a path for the visitor to enjoy the beauty. Lauraceas Lodge offers birdwatching tours and especially one to see the Quetzal with an experienced guide, who is the owner of the lodge. Breakfast and dinner were really tasty and the staff (partly members of the family) is really friendly.

Very nicely locate in the Quetzal mountains. Loved the small set up of this place. Cabines are simple but comfortable and blend in with the surrounding. There are two lovely trails for hiking, a pond with fishes and hummingbird are buzzing around the area. The staff was very friendly and appriciated that everything that we consumed could be add to our master bill and paid on departure.

This was a beautiful magical place. The best place to see Quetzal is near an avacado tree right on this property. The cabin is right on the river, walking distance to two restaurants with beautiful patios. The drive from Quetzales national park entrance is lots of switchbacks and you must be very careful. Look for the “unicorn lodge” sign on your left coming down the mountain in San Gerardo. “Casa monge” itself isn’t well signed from the main road. I would recommend this place to anyone, it was fantastic! Dirche, the owner, was absolutely lovey and took us out at 5:30 to see the quetzals. I would also recommend the waterfall hike about 2kms down the hill from Casa Monge- a bit treacherous at times but well worth it, 2-3 hrs total!

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.

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.

Everything was a delight, it's one of those place where it's actually better in person, pictures fall short as the place is much better. We were able to observe quetzal from our own balcony. Serenity and calmness are in every corner and nature is exquisite. Bonus: try the breakfast and the bird watching tour they offer. Thank you Kennett for the experience.

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.

The location in the mountains is exceptional, as is the view from the cabin balcony. We saw quetzals at cabin 3. We had breakfast at Miriams cafe a few minutes walk uphill and there saw a wonderful array of birds including hummingbirds, acorn woodpeckers, toucan and many more. A delight. Our cabin 0 was wonderful. We loved it.

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.
