Excellent stay at Quetzal lodge. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food at Colibris Restaurant was very good. Food presentation and taste was first class. Be prepared for rain and cooler temperatures, especially at night. Beds have plenty of blankets, heaters in rooms are mediocre, do not expect a hot shower. We plan to come again!

It is very very cold there - and yet they have only icecold water from the tube. The shower indicates 26 degree, but is only a bit wamer than cold. An absolute No go for the price. The bathroom is terribly small. The toilet paper was the most filmy I've ever seen. The "Heater" in the room is a joke and instead of a decent duvet they offer 5(!!) woollen blankets, which is a mess. 13$ for a small breakfast (very little fruit and the pineapple was significantly overripe) is way too much. I didn't like it much there, although the environment is breathtaking. And the staff was friendly.

This is a wonderful lodge for birding. You will see Resplendent Quetzals on the early morning tour (thank you to the guide!), and many other special species in Costa Rica right in the gardens and at your cabin windows (Long-tailed silky flycatcher and volcano hummingbird, for instance). This is a beautiful property, well maintained and quiet. You do have to walk on narrow pathways up and down a hillside to the cabins. I stayed in the double room one night and a superior cabin the second night. I recommend the superior. The double room was closer to the restaurant, reception, and other people, and very cold with only one space heater and older construction. The superior is larger with 2 space heaters and newer construction so it heats more efficiently. The view was amazing, as were the birds and sounds of the jungle! Breakfast was not included in the price and I found $13 expensive for a couple greasy eggs and bacon. I wasn't there to eat though. The birding was spectacular. I drove about 40 minutes to Batsu Garden in the Rio Savegre Valley and found species I had hoped for including Volcano and Scintillant hummingbirds. Thank you!

A beautiful location on the side of the mountain with forever views.... The grounds and gardens are beautiful and birdy... The cabins are spaced apart, all with good views.... Plenty of blankets and a heater to ward off the chill at 8500 feet!!!! The food was superb and the staff were gracious and efficient... A great spot!!!

Un fin de semana muy tranquilo y agradable

El personal del hotel se lleva un 100 de calificación. El lugar es muy agradable, el hotel es cómodo y limpio, y la zona bellísima. Los jardines y senderos, muy bien cuidados. El tour de quetzales precioso también. Yo fui con mi esposo a celebrar nuestro aniversario y lo pasamos excelente. Mucho descanso, comunión con la naturaleza, comida sabrosa y casera, y aire puro. Cantidad de flores, pájaros y vistas espectaculares.

They need better heaters. Our room never got warmer than 57 degrees. Room rate did not include breakfast. Not a good value for the price.
