My stay was great but sadly one day rainy almost all the time. But we enjoyed watching quetzals very early and walking in the woods even though was raining.

Beautiful!!
Nice & comfortable rooms. The beautiful property has a protected reserve with many trails. Lots of bird watching opportunities. We saw the resplendent quetzals several time from the property and couple of times while dining in their restaurant. They arrange good guides for bird watching/ treks etc. decent food options & they also have a spa on property.

Wonderful hotel in gorgeous location
Beautiful hotel in stunning surroundings. Only slight complaint was poor quality of road (ca 6 km) to get to it... might have been tricky in a smaller vehicle.

We had the most incredible three-day stay at the Savegre thanks to the gorgeous surroundings and incredibly kind and attentive staff! The rooms are not large, but they are thoughtfully designed with a sitting area, beautiful large bathroom with tub, and a little porch bench out front facing the lovely garden. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, offering typical dishes as well as American and European choices. We hiked all of the well-kept trails, and saw birds of all kinds. But the icing on the already delicious cake was seeing many Quetzals on the property each morning at breakfast. We could not have asked for a better stay in this magical place!

Unique experience in the jungle, near the trails. Very clean everywhere. Friendly and helpful staff. Very good diner at the restaurant and breakfast (lots of choices in the buffet). We took the full day Bird Watching tour and it is definitely worth it. Our guide (Julien) was great !
