La experienci de forma general fue muy buena, la atención fue muy excelente, el lugar perfecto. Las amenidades y actividades lo necesario, es un lugar para desconectarse.
Mi única recomendación sería que la cama fuera un poco más grande tipo king.

Beautiful lodge in the mountain forest with beautiful landscaping around the individual cottages along a hill. Delicious food and very friendly staff. The perfect location for birdwatching, particularly the Resplendent Quetzal. Hence we saw one male, a female and a juvenile quetzal for about 30 minutes during the special quetzal tour in the morning, in addition to a male quetzal right at the lodge and another one that I could film along the nature trail of the lodge.
Luis
The room is spacious and the beds are comfortable. WiFi is only available in shared areas such as the reception, bar and restaurant.

This was a magical place to stay!
The grounds were incredible, the restaurant a delightful experience, and the trails full on cloud forest adventure!
The breakfast after our morning hike was just perfect!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I've been to Costa Rica five times, and Trogon Lodge is by far my favorite place I've stayed. The location in the beautiful San Gerardo de Dota Valley is absolutely breathtaking. Set along the river, the property is filled with stunning plants, incredible birdlife, and wildlife around every corner. There's even a beautiful trail on the property that leads to a waterfall.
Our cabin was clean, cozy, and comfortable, with thoughtful touches like a space heater and hot water bottles for the bed. The property offers plenty of peaceful spots to relax, as well as a welcoming bar area where you can enjoy tea, snacks, games, or pool.
The restaurant was excellent, and the staff were friendly, accommodating, and genuinely welcoming. Since the road to the lodge is steep and winding (but very manageable), having such a wonderful restaurant on-site meant we could enjoy the evening without driving after dark. The included breakfast was fresh, delicious, and filling.
We also took the Bird Tour and Quetzal Tour. Our guide was incredible, helping us spot amazing birds we never would have found on our own. Seeing six Resplendent Quetzals was an unforgettable highlight.
This is authentic Costa Rica at its finest. I didn't want to leave and can't wait to return.

Geat experience. Lovely hotel.
Jonna
Quiet, clean, and abounding with lovely rustic charm. A terrific place to unplug and get back to nature. Staff is kind, grounds are just beautiful with lots of places to tuck oneself in with a book or to just daydream. Breakfast was perfect. My husband recommends their pancakes:)
Allan
Outstanding!! Super peaceful, beautiful views, great food
Samuel
Incredible experience. Great staff, amazing wildlife tours, very cozy accommodations. Will definitely return!
Chris
Beautiful gardens but no hummingbird feeders and variety of birds in April was limited. Obviously the hotel had tried to be more than it was with abandoned ziplines etc. I got the impression management was catering to one night stays for industrial sized groups to see quetzals. True, they succeed in that. Meanwhile other hotel birding trips were industrial too. Far better to get a ride to neighboring Batsu Gardens than use hotel birding tour.
Frédérick
A truly beautiful place, well laid out in a mountain valley. The atmosphere is welcoming and the restaurant is excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only minor suggestion for improvement would be to install Wi-Fi extenders to all the rooms. Our room was towards the back of the property and we lost the signal just before reaching it.
Glen
Trogon was one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The property and the location was priceless. The staff was fantastic and always willing to help. The cabins were clean and cozy and with the weather it will probably the best sleep you will ever have. The Food is very good plus there are a few other very good options within a couple of KM's. The bar/lounge was amazing and a Mojito is a must...

The perfect Place to Stay to See Quetzals
The perfect place to stay to maximize your chances of seeing quetzals. Not the cheapest but worth every dollar. Beautiful grounds even in the rain. Very friendly and attentive staff. Good restaurant with great service. Truly excellent guide in Greibin.
Roy
Amazing
Andrew
Stunning grounds, comfortable rooms.
Had a lovely stay. The grounds are gorgeous. Our room was clean, and plenty warm with the small heater. We didn't even need to leave the property to see a Quetzal. I love the communal bar/lounge.
Kimberly
We loved the nature around Trogon Lodge. The landscaping was amazing, and my son loved watching the trout in the pond. We loved all the birds and the hiking trails. The grounds of Trogon Lodge were so lush and beautiful, and photos cannot capture their enchanting beauty. For people with mobility issues, be aware that the lodge is a steep slope and could be difficult for some. Also, it is advisable to pack wisely so you don't bring unnecessary luggage up to the room, as it is a trek carrying it.
Stephan
The grounds were stunning. The lodges/cabins were clean and quiet, but were basic.
Karen
Beautiful resort
We loved this beautiful resort with wonderful flowers. Non of the rooms had wifi and our internet provider (Kolbi) wouldn’t work in the rooms. Wifi was provided in the restaurant and bar area.
We did see quetzal birds with an early morning guide…well worth it!

Gorgeous property, flowers, hummingbirds, river. Cabins basic but clean and comfortable. Quetzal watching early in the morning. Dining room nice with good food and service.

This lodge is a hidden gem. The food at the restaurant was a little hit and miss, but everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. Greivin went out of his way to help in any way he could and he also leads the excellent Quetzal tours every morning!! Great stay!!
Scott
This was a great property off the beaten path. Road going down is narrow and could use some work but once you get there it’s worth it. Staff was excellent.
Janet
Great location for birders. Difficult road in. Bring warm clothes and raincoat

Landscaping was beautiful with plants to naturally attract birds of all types

Trogon Lodge is set in beautiful grounds by the river, a really lovely setting, birds everywhere and the cabins are comfortable with porch sitting areas to enjoy watching the birds and hearing the river roaring. Quite magical!
We dined at the restaurant and the food was delicious- with many selections. Breakfasts were also delicious with plenty of options.
We enjoyed walking the Lodge's trails and grounds, early-morning and had 7 sightings of the beautiful Quetzals. It rained one afternoon so we enjoyed sitting at the bar sipping on hot tea and reading our books as we listened to the rain. We will definitely visit Trogon Lodge again!

Très beau séjour dans un environnement paradisiaque.
Le personnel est très aimable et la propriété est doté de sentiers en forêt pour l'observation de la flore et de la faune. De nombreuses excursions sont également offertes. Nous avons eu l'occasion de voir des quetzals à trois reprises en seulement une journée. Le restaurant est très bien avec une ambiance chaleureuse et les prix sont corrects.

Awesome place
Marianne
Such a beautiful place…But unfortunate problems!
Such a beautiful place and location. A unique stay. We have stayed before that’s why we came again. Unfortunately we had some not so good experiences this time. Mostly with the restaurant. We brought friends with us and we all had different entrees the first night. Each one said the meal was not good! The service was very poor. Breakfast was good. Except for the pineapple/ coconut juice which had soured. But again very poor service. The second night we could only trust a pizza to be palatable. So unfortunate! Also no towels to dry hands in the bathroom off the bar. We mentioned this but nothing changed. If they could change the staff issue and better meals it would get a better rating.
Scott
A supremely good place to stay for enjoying the cloud rainforest, and birds.
If you're an athlete you can either hike, run the trails, or jog/run the Quetzales grinder hill descent and climb and see the bird on the way.

Randall
Absolutely wonderful gardens and property
Garth
The scenery on this property was extraordinary! Perfect place for birdwatchers. We saw both the male and female elusive Resplendent Quetzal as well as many other birds of the area. We saw the Quetzal on the property. The guided birding walk was well worth the cost - highly recommended! The gardens around the property are amazing - words cannot express the beauty and tranquility. The food at the lodge is excellent and included trout from the local area.
Louise
The grounds are beautiful and very well looked after with many places to sit and relax. The staff are very friendly and personable and the breakfast was excellent.
Linda
We had a remarkable visit at this special place. We joined the early morning Quetzal Quest and saw a pair of Quetzals and nesting Toucanets. The next morning we saw more from the beautiful deck. The included breakfast was superb.
Federico
It’s ok
Maria
Wonderful staff! The hotel surroundings are out of this world!
Mary
Spectacular scenery, went there for the birds & as a special finale to our mostly-hosteling trip. Did not disappoint. Everyone visitor to Costa Rica needs to experience this area.
Christin
Location and property are beautiful. The staff is wonderful. Food was delicious! We ate breakfast and dinner at the lodge for most meals because it was so good.
Two things that would make the lodge perfect (and this is being picky!). Yoga classes, a hot tub. Area gets cold at night and there’s no true heating anywhere. Bundle up!
Would stay again!!

If you love nature you will enjoy this place. Food is just great and personal very friendly.
Simon
beautiful environment but hotel was lacking basics
When we spend this much on a hotel stay, we expect working heat and hot water. We had neither.
Verified traveler
The gardens were just magnificent. The thread count on the bed was nice. The food was very expensive. $50 for 2 soups and a salad. Outrageous!
Aaron
Wandering the paths at Trogon Lodge is like walking through the gardens of a fairytale.

Wonderful place to be one with nature. Great service and wonderful food.

BEAUTIFUL GROUNDS!!
We only stayed 1 night because we were passing through from the west coast to the east coast. Big mistake!! Lovely grounds, very peaceful, with a nice trail hike on the property. I can't say enough about how beautiful the grounds are. Amazing design with several ponds, the beautiful flowing river on the property, bridges, etc. I wished we could've stayed longer. With that being said I should also point out that the drive down to the property is long and steep - the sign suggests using a lower gear - do this!! We overheated the brakes on our car which prevented us from leaving the property to get a late lunch. Luckily they do have a restaurant onsite, but they close in between lunch and dinner. The restaurant is amazing, but pricey (understandably). The cabins are definitely considered rustic. There is a plugin heater in each room - get it started right when you get there, as the nights are very cold and the rooms are not insulated. Bring warm pj's. hahaha You share a little porch with a connecting guest room. The walls are paper thin. We could hear every word, sneeze, pee from the people next door, it was almost embarrassing. So, in summary, beautiful place but almost wished they would've spent as much on the rooms as they did on the grounds. Oh, and the staff is great!!

Best hotel in the area - good food, superb gardens
Our second time staying at Trogon - have stayed in three other hotels and one Airbnb in St. Gerardo de Dota. This is our favorite. They are recovering from Nate which wiped out a large part of the area, including roads, so give them your business!
