Hotel de Montaña Suria ★★★

"We returned with friends after visiting Suria Hotel two years ago and vowing we would go back. We were less impressed this time. The gardens were beautiful, but the area where the little hummingbirds were are now closed off and the hotel now charges an extra 10 dollars per person per stay to enter, which was a real shame. We visited another garden close by and we thrilled by what we saw there. Rooms were clean and comfortable but unfortunately there was no WiFi in our rooms, only in the main building area. It’s very cold at night and there are little electric potable heaters in the rooms. The breakfast was well prepared but quite economical- a choice of three items, traditional Costa Rican (with rice and beans) or “Continental” ( a piece of very well cooked bacon, two eggs, a small piece of toast, a spoonful of jam and three slices each of watermelon,papaya and pineapple) or pancakes (two American style pancakes with a spoonful of watery syrup, afew slices of banana and a strawberry) The pancakes were very dry to eat. There was no other items such as juice, toast, cereal, pastries or fruit juice. As we checked out after our stay, we were not warned about the only road being closed for two hours just after we left, which meant a two hour hold up for us in the hot sun."

Paraíso Quetzal Lodge ★★★

"We stayed at the Lodge for 2 nights. It is a birder paradise with many trails and beautiful gardens where many special species live. The food was well priced and delicious and the reataurant has a nice lounge area where you can chat to other travellers. The bungalow was lovely though do bring warm clothing! We did the quetzal tour at 5.30am. The guides worked very hard and got us some excellent sights and made sure we had souvenir photos"

Curuba Lodge ★★★★

"Fantastic place, don’t hesitate, just book it. You’ll have zero regrets. Great atmosphere, food, trails, flowers, the cabins, all of it. Definitely going back."

Cedrela Eco-Lodge & Restaurante ★★

"We did not rate it excellent because the room is small and is not of a good standard, there are air leaks everywhere and it is very unpleasant at night in the mountains, it is cold with l the air on your head all night and the little heater is of no use, the bed is very small 140 cm it's the first time in Costa Rica, you should make an effort on the room. The site is superb and very well maintained. The dinner and breakfast are excellent and worthy of an excellent French chef, we appreciated the mix of Costa Rican and French flavors, congratulations once again to the excellent chef and his team who thanks to their skills raise the level very much . We were able to admire and photograph the Quetzal, unforgettable memories, thanks to Oscar."

Dantica Cloud Forest Lodge ★★★

"Bungalows with an incredible location in the cloud forest. Floor-to-ceiling windows across the entire width with an amazing view. Hummingbirds fly to the balcony, a cozy carpenter in the evening - what more could you want? Great atmosphere in the adjoining restaurant with piano music at breakfast, a delight. A wonderful experience all around!"

Trogon Lodge ★★★

"Great food, views and staff. 100% recommend. Comfortable room with double beds."

Toucanet Lodge ★★

"The mountain views are incredible. The restaurant is too (be sure to try the Bondiola). I visited to photograph birds and butterflies and the like, and this turned out to be a great location to do that. The rooms are comfortable, hot water is reliable. Toucanet Lodge is a place I hope to visit again."
