The entire valley is a beautiful cloud forest and the hotel's reserve is a amazing. We drove our 4wd vehicle up to the top of their preserve and did a self guided hike. The highlight was the guided tour with Marino to see the Quetzals. The Chacon family hospitality was great and the entire staff is thoughtful and attentive, from... More

We stayed in 6 lodges in 10 days in CR. This one was one of the best. Great location. Good place to see the Quetzals. Buffets were excellent. Nice lounge with wifi. Good hike to waterfalls down the road.

Hotel Savegre is what you expect when you reserve a slightly upscale nature lodge in a mountainous area. It's very lodge-y with nice, spacious rooms and hot water, in a real amazing cloud-forest surroundings. About 90%-100% of the guests here are bird watchers, and I was slightly an exception. I like watching tropical birds too, but I came here because... More

We were greeted by a receptionist who didn't seem to care about what we wanted. She offered no help in getting our luggage to our room which was as far a way from the hotel as it could be be, up a hill and over a gravel road despite the fact that I had said I was finding walking up... More

This hotels for birdwatchers. Getting there takes you on gravel steep hills which with rain would require 4x4. Not much to do there but watch birds, hike or walk. No nightlife nor anything near but a couple of restaurants. Food was great, rooms were average though clean. We saw a quetzal which made our day. Nice lounge bar. Couldnt believe... More

This is absolutely fantastic hotel, every detail is though of, and the surroundings.. wow! The gardens of the hotel are full of birds, the river runs calmly through the area, great forests all around. Not to forget that this is probably the best place in CR to see Quetzals! The hotel servers breakfast, lunch and dinner, which are all highly... More

My first stop in Costa Rica...a nascent birder, I was pleasantly surprised at the pristine environs, but the approachability of the fauna (including the hummers and tanagers close to the restaurant/reception). The coolness of the cloudforest helped w the hiking of Savegre's private trails and horseback riding. I was thrilled with the lack of biting insects and the fresh air... More

My wife and I stayed at the hotel for two nights as part of a tour of Costa Rica. The journey to San Gerardo de Dota is a bit of an advneture in itself - up to about 10,000 feet on the Pan-American Highway then down a fabulous winding road to the hotel itself which is beautifully located in a...

I took a short 2 day trip with my 12 year old son to the hotel and we had an nice time. The room was very comfortable with enough blankets to comfortably sleep at night in spite of the cold. Some rooms have a chimney (ours did not) which makes it more romantic so keep it in mind in case... More
