Cabinas El Quetzal

Was not prepared for how beautiful the location was. Hummingbird feeders were lively! Quetzals in the backyard! the lovely seating area by the river! At check-in she shared a plethora of activities nearby.

as others mentioned, the hot water in the shower was a little tricky to figure out. Once it is turned on, temperature is controlled by the rate of water so you can have a slow hot shower or a fast warm-ish shower

Good breakfast!

Not sure about hot water

Beautiful cabins set in the hamlet of San Gerardo de Dota that exceeded our expectations. Family run, with excellent English spoken, this place, although off the beaten track and down a very windy road was a wonderful find. The breakfasts were so good with recommendations for places to eat supper readily available. Walks also explained and the botanical garden walk a couple of KM's down the road was pleasurable way to spend a Sunday morning with the binos. The highlight of the trip was to see the resplendent quetzal in the trees outside our room. Just made our stay perfect in every way. Thank you.

Whilst this isn't a negative comment (this place and people were lovely) a note to people thinking of booking: We have been to the mountains in Costa Rica before, so we had prepared for how cold its gets at night. Socks and warm nightwear a must!

The staff is very friendly and helpful. We saw the Quetzal outside our patio and some hummingbirds at the bird feeders.

We stayed 2 nights there, the weather was cold, no heat and not enough blankets. The hot water is not warm, so we had to take a shower during the day when the weather was warmer.

Well located with gorgeous views and the river just behind the cabin, and spotlessly clean.

We liked everything existing about the property, but we had picnic supplies with us and there was no place in the valley to buy ice as well as no small fridge in the room to keep things cool. The bed was a bit hard and the room was quite cold at night. We appreciated the provision of extra blankets in the room.

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 hotel does not do dinner - but the highly recommended Soda Dona Marlen is just up the road

Peaceful place!

Lovey comfortable cabins along the river .Breakfast was excellent and family run owners were very friendly and shared local information.The birding is excellent and would highly recommend a bird guide to explore the area.
