Hotel de Montaña Suria

A nice hotel to experience birdwatching. Several options for guided and unguided tours. Good chance to observe Quatzals. The room was a little noisy though. Good kitchen with a great opportunity to have trout for dinner. Diego at the frontdesk, was very helpful with arranging the tours with local guide Agniel. The latter knows his stuff.

We stayed here as part of a Saga / Titan Wild Costa Rica tour. The gardens are beautiful, and you can see lots of bird life. The cabins (glorified sheds) have outside seating which is nice to sit and watch the bird life. As part of our tour both dinner and breakfast were included. Both meals were very good, plentiful and hot. Staff in the restaurant and serving drinks were pleasant and polite. The rooms are basic and horrible. Our room was not clean with a spiders nest around the wall light fitting and cobwebs between the shed walls. Lots of other bugs in the room . It was very cold, we had to have the heater on all night in spite of there being lots of bedding. Too cold to shower the next morning. Couldn't wait to leave. This was the worst accommodation we had on the tour, although many of the others were not good either. It is a ridiculously long drive down the valley to get to the place. Can't understand why Saga / Titan even bother booking people in here.

This was my second visit one of the best hotels in the Savegre Valley for birders. The accommodations are excellent (including heating in the rooms & hot showers!), with the mountain-view villas being especially good for birders. A major bonus is a wonderful bird-feeding area attracting lots of hummingbirds & frugivores. The only drawback on this visit was the disappointing meals on our first evening - I hope just a reflection of temporary staffing problems. Fortunately excellent restaurants at Lauraceas and Savegre are close by.
