Hospedaje Casa Monge, hotel in San Gerardo de Dota

Hospedaje Casa Monge offers accommodations in San Gerardo de Dota, 10 miles from Cerro de la Muerte. Both free Wifi and parking on-site are accessible at the apartment free of charge.

The hotel is located in heavily wooded area with a lot of birds and wildlife. My wife wanted to shoot a bird called Quetzal. She had read that this property had a few Quetzals in the woods nearby. They are shy birds so they are very hard to spot. The host did help my wife to find one bird high up in the tree. Earlier that day, my wife went with another guide to spot some Quetzals, so she had a few good pictures. There is a good restaurant within a short driving distance from the property. They serve good meals at reasonable prices.

Hotel de Montaña Suria, hotel in San Gerardo de Dota

Amid a forest is located Hotel de Montaña Suria, a property that offers free Wi-Fi connection throughout and complimentary breakfast with your stay.

Reception area and restaurant were very well appointed and welcoming. Service and friendliness of all staff was superb. Restaurant served a great breakfast each day and hot coffee cups were kept full! Wait staff were exceptional. Grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. Lots of flowers and lots of different birds right on the grounds. The cabins were rustic but well taken care of and attractive. Our bathroom fixtures needed some repairs but it was very clean. Nice covered front porch allowed us to sit outside in the afternoons (unfortunately it rained every day from about 12 noon until dark). The sun comes up very early (5:30am) so we made the most of the first half of each day. Arranged a couple of guided tours through the hotel—Agniel was extremely good and would highly recommend him! An expert in the wildlife in the area!

    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.

    San Gerardo de Dota has the perfect weather, it's also a very small community. Might need a bit more night life I suppose, but it's not a big deal. Make sure you bring sunblock and warm clothes for the nights.

    beautiful small little hotel located in a very remote and gorgeous area. Common areas are beautifully maintained and rooms are very comfortable. The place is filled with birds, particularly hummingbirds that are simply a delight! The guide took us on a walk to see Quetzales and it was an incredible success! We were instructed on how to get to a water fall... beautiful short little hike, very rewarding!

    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)

    Very nice rooms set in beautiful gardens. It was cold at night and rooms had good heaters. The staff were helpful. Food was good. We came to look for Quetzalsa and the early morning birdwatching walk was very well orgsnsied with excellent guides. The hotel can arrange several activities such as birdwatching, hiking and horseback riding. Highly recommend the hotel.

    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.

    It's a lovely place with nice accommodations, a beautiful area with their own forrest, waterfall and pond on hotel's property. The pond could be seen from our room, and the sound of Savegre river lulled our sleep at night. Consider the temperature is considerably cooler than most of Costa Rica's destinations, so bring your raincoats and jackets.

    Room was spacious and comfortable and set in a garden filled with birds. Tour the hotel organized was great and the guide (Raul-sp?) was awesome, even showed us a toucanet nest! Included breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Free trails were awesome. Easily one of the nicest places we have ever stayed, would definitely visit again.

    The rooms are basic but have everything you need, even a heater, which is definitely necessary in this part of Costa Rica. The restaurant offers nice traditional and contemporary food, made with fresh produce. We liked the trail accessible from the hotel.

    Casa Monge is charming, we got to see a quetzal and walk along the river. Plus it’s close enough to Savegre Hotel, where we got to see the millennial oak tree in the oak trail. Anthony is really kind and a wonderful host.
