Boasting mountain views, Cabañas San gerardo offers accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around 13 km from Cerro de la Muerte. There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The accommodation features a minimarket and a tour desk for guests.

At 3 km (9600 ft) Elevation, the night was chilly and the morning was fresh. Given our experience with bland and low-variety Costa Rican cooking, Miriam's home cooking was outstanding. The trout filets, the whole trout, the pastas are delectable Cabins are very clean and with heaters. How water at low flow.

Boasting a garden, Hospedaje Casa Monge is situated in San Gerardo de Dota, within 17 km of Cerro de la Muerte. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the apartment free of charge. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service.

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!

Offering an a la carte restaurant, Dantica Cloud Forest Lodge is located in Providencia. It is surrounded by private tropical gardens and boasts an on-site art gallery and free daily breakfast.

Each spacious bungalow at the property features modern wooden décor and comes equipped with a seating area, a dining area and a hot tub. They overlook the property’s extensive nature reserve.

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.

The holiday home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, bed linen, towels, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a fully equipped kitchenette, and a patio with mountain views. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance.

What a value for the little money spent! There is cable and satellite TV, although most programs are in Spanish. It has a hot shower which is an exception rather than the rule in a normal home here. Although it is cooler in the mountains, it was cozy sleeping in our multi-blanketed beds. We enjoyed dinner at this property and ate the local trout, as it is the freshest fish available in these pristine mountain locations. Very yummy! The cold, clear mountain water is delicious.... no chemicals here! We filled all our water bottles to take with us. We did not eat breakfast at the restaurant as we had a full kitchen. However, we did make use of the provided tea and coffee, which was locally produced and was so delicious that we purchased several bags to take home with us.

    Beautiful view from our windows, you can’t beat waking up to that! A very peaceful setting, good for relaxing and getting away from it all. There was great food in the restaurant. There were nice trails around the hotel to explore. Staff were really helpful and kind all the time. The hotel is in a great location to spot many beautiful birds. We had some amazing food and coffee in the village of San Gerardo de Dota also. It got chilly in the evenings and we enjoyed using the ethanol fire to make our room nice and cosy!

    I stayed in the cozy hut for 1 night and I loved it. Its surrounded by nature and a lovely place. David is very friendly and helpful. You can eat breakfast and dinner there. This village is a great place to spot Quetzals. I havent seen one in the Nat.park Quetzal but I saw one in the village, at the end next to the school. The money for a tour is worth it, otherwise its very hard to spot Quetzals. And definitely stay at this accomodation. Great value for the money!

    Beautiful location, staff extremely nice, and great breakfast. We used the guide recommended by the hotel to see the quetzal.... a great moment... Furthermore, we went for the waterfall hike (a little scary but also a great moment for our trip). It's better to have a 4x4 to to come to the place because the village is a the end of a 10% slope for 8 kms (from 3070m altitude to 2300m)
