San Gerardo de Dota Vacation Rentals

"The hotel is very nice; the room was very comfortable and the view is amazing. The private trails are great, it is advisable to use confortable shoes and a walking stick. The food at the restaurant is good. "

"Lapazul and its staff are amazing in all possible ways. It's a small boutique hotel on top of a mountain: the view is STUNNING, we saw more animals during breakfast than in parks we had visited previously. George is incredible: he did a tour with us each morning to show us where the slot was hiding, where the frogs were... He is very friendly, helpful but also respects your privacy. You come to this hotel to relax, to destress, and enjoy nature around you. We recommend staying at least 3 days! As in other comments, it's steep uphill and you need a 4*4: we had a rental Suzuki that you could easily switch from regular to 4*4. We had no issues at all, and it was very rewarding to arrive then at this little paradise. The hotel takes a personal approach. We met the owner, the manager who just came around for a short chat to make sure we were having a great experience. On the last day, we had a minor panic, as we had to return to the airport for which you normally need about 3.5 hours. Suddenly, Google maps switched to almost 5 hours due to a road closure. The team helped us and called traffic police. By the time we were packed and ready to rush, the manager was able to tell us the road closure would be lifted asap and we should take that shorter road anyway. We did and easily made it in time to the airport! This is a hotel we will be highly recommending to friends and co-workers. If we visit Costa Rica again, we will definitely plan a stay at Lapazul. "

"Alan and his staff are amazing! They made us feel like family. The views and proximity to wildlife were fantastic. The authentic Costa Rican meals were delicious and healthy. We enjoyed bird watching, hikes to the waterfalls and a short trip to ziplining. "

"We recently had the pleasure of staying at Casa Sea Breeze, and it was nothing short of magical! The owner and her manager Wil were always prompt & helpful with communications. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the home, the lush landscape, and the sense of tranquility. The house itself is beautiful—spacious, and dreamy! If you are looking to relax or for some adventure, you must visit Casa Sea Breeze in Costa Rica! We especially loved having all our meals outside, with the gorgeous view of the surrounding nature. The open-air dining area was ideal for enjoying delicious meals. We were lucky to have the opportunity to enjoy the services of Wil Tours and his family, whom the owner highly recommended. Wil's wife, Kiss, and his sister, Rocio, cooked us some of the most delicious and memorable meals we've ever had. Their beautiful, caring service made us feel so special and at home. Wil and his team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Horseback riding on the beach, a Mangrove river monkey tour, visits to the beach, shopping, and local restaurants, were all wonderful! The people of Costa Rica are warm and lovely, the food was amazing and the home (and the negative edge pool overlooking the ocean!!) were so incredibly special. The home is more beautiful than the pictures too. We absolutely can't wait to go back to see our new friends in Costa Rica! Thank you Suzanne, Wil & family for making our time so memorable! xo "

"We had a great stay. Beautiful property. Warm and friendly hosts. We fell in love with the little town of Orosi. The vibe is tranquility. We will return. "

"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!!"

"Great location, beautiful views, local wildlife and so many birds. Everyday was a beautiful experience. The private pool and king size bed was a plus. "

"We loved our time at Portasal Living. The villa was amazing, with lots of space and the pool was amazing for a dip every day.. From seeing toucans and parrots right before us to the amazing dinner by our private chef Desiree, it was such a great time. Heriberto was great in getting our tour and trip tickets for all the sights. They even greeted us with a Bottle of wine for our anniversary. They also stocked the fridge with cold beer for us to have when we arrived. We are already talking about a return trip!!!"

"Really enjoyed our stay at Just Perfecto. The property itself is gorgeous with fantastic panoramic views. The house sits between Quepos and Uvita whicb provides easy access to various activities. We opted for breakfast and dinner service by Rambo and Diego who were excellet throghout our stay. They went beyond their "regular" menu to customize to our preferences. Would highly recommend staying at Just Perfecto!"
