We recently stayed at the Savegre Mountain Lodge. (Apr. 22-27th). Our room was great. We had a fireplace that we lit each night and our room was kept warm until morning. The outside temp. was between 8 and 12 C, but it was wonderful, but by noon it was 26!! We have been to Costa Rica 3 times now, and... More

The Lodge is beautifully situated at the end of a deep valley, and there is a range of great walks up into the surrounding forest, which you can take directly from the hotel. The initial impression is of a very'up market' lodge, but once we settled in we found the standards more modest. Everything was fine, the food decent (self... More

We stayed in a newly added "room" (it was actually like an individual cabin) and it was quite comfortable. But considering the dirt road we had to travel down from the main highway, it was a pretty uncomfortable ride and I wouldn't travel back up that road for anything until we left! The property is surrounded by lush forest filled... More

Savegre mountain lodge and spa is a large complex of 48 bungalows built over a period of several years with a corresponding range in quality. It is accessed by 7 km of dirt road, some of which is probably tricky to negotiate with 2-wheel drive in the wet season. We had no problem during the dry. Our room was in... More

I've been here four times and will return. A great place to see the Resplendent Quetzal and other birds. Rooms are very nice. They have been remodeled and have portable heaters which you will most likely use because the nights here are very cool. Food is very good and is served buffet style. Staff are friendly. There are nice sitting... More

This hotel was a big disappointment. The gardens were very nice and the surrounding trails good for walking, birdwatching and flora and fauna. We found the service to be poor, staff knowledge was lacking and the room was a great disappointment. The twin room had reasonable beds, but the bathroom was hardly bigger than a broom cupboard, there was no... More

There is no doubt that the Savegre Mountain Lodge is in a beautiful setting, surrounded by beautiful birds. We spent 4 nights here in a basic room with our friends next door. We enjoyed the trails (Sendero La Quebrada was spectacular) and the hummingbird feeders were always kept full of sugar and thus always hopping! The plantings around the lodges... More

The bar/lounge area appeared to be a newer addition and was nice, the grounds were beautiful, and the reception area was pleasant. We stayed in a 'standard room' that had a small sink with only cold water, small shower, threadbare towels and linen, musty smell, a portable electric heater, and depressing furnishings. I did look at some 'suites' and they... More

You get to this lodge by travelling down 2000 ft into the valley down a quite steep narrow road. It is a group of individual accommodation lodges which have their own bathrooms and the gardens are lush and full of flowers. It is very isolated but even though they had a captive market the food supplied was really good and... More

The trip along the unpaved road through this narrow valley is incredibly beautiful, and the lodge, located by a rushing river in the valley, is a lovely place. Amazing bar with a freestanding fireplace, beautiful restaurant with an excellent buffet, small gift shop, a spa we didn't try, and rooms with either a fireplace, wood and fire starter cubes or...
