Savegre Mountain Lodge was the first of 3 locations on our 9 day Costa Rica adventure. We rented a car from U-Save near the San Jose airport. We had a good experience with U-Save overall except for a little issue in the begining...they didn't have the compact sedan that we reserved. We explained that we wanted to get to Savegre... More

Now I want admit before I say anything else that this hotel is a wonderful place to experience the beauty of Costa Rica and to see the birds of the cloud forest. It is located in the most remote but beautiful valley and the grounds of this hotel are magnificent. Furthermore, this hotel gives access to about 600 acres of... More

A quiet property with individual clean units (some newer) in a magical valley filled with birds and natural beauty. Units come with heaters, but bring a fleecy or sweater for night-time. A very good selection of food (cafeteria style). If you come on your own, be prepared for a narrow winding and in places hilly road that is unpaved in... More

Excellent birding; fantastic Birding Guide; good food served buffet. Accommodations are more comfortable & newer/ more modern than most birding destinations in Costa Rica. Has a lounge and bar open late in the evening. An easy place to stay. A pleasure. More

Way at the end of a long, winding mountain road is Savegre Hotel, Nature Reserve & Spa. Tucked in admist bursting blossoms, singing birds and gorgeous vistas with separate cottages, some within ear shot of the burbling river. Bird feeders abound. Very good Costa Rican fare and amazing coffee. Very helpful staff. English spoken at reception. Spa on premises but... More

We stayed for two nights with the goal of seeing hummingbirds and quetzals...we could have stayed much longer! The Chacon family started this as a fishing lodge and it has developed into a birder's paradise. Our guide, Raul Fernandez Chacon, was extremely knowlegeable and accomodating. The rooms were clean and warm enough (in January) if you used the space heater... More

We stayed here for 4 days as a family of 5. With 3 very active kids we had no issues finding lots to do. We rode horses into the mountains, took a hike to two amazing waterfalls, and got to see the resplendent quetzal. There are hundreds of bird species (and lots of experts to help you know what you...

I really liked this place. They use the term lodge to offer some pretty basic paneled rooms. I loved the restaurant and bar area. Not a fan of buffets and unfortunately that was all they offer. The room was big and basic. Cold there, so thankfully great blankets. There was a space heater that was very old. Wouldn't have turned... More

We stayed at Savegre for one week in December 2011. It's a beautiful place and though it's true there is an emphasis amongst visitors towards birding and bird photography there are other great reasons for staying here. The scenery - the journey to Savegre is, in itself, a great 'tour', the scenery is stunning, wooded valleys and hills traversed along... More
