Lauraceas Lodge
Hotel in San Gerardo de Dota
Located in San Gerardo de Dota, 19 km from Cerro de la Muerte, Lauraceas Lodge provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar. Spacious cabin with beautiful view out on to the trees, stream and hills. We didn't go anywhere else to eat in the 4 days and enjoyed every meal. The family who run the place and all of the other staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The Lauraceas Garden, about 100m down the road, is very special and was created with care and love. We've never seen SO many beautiful birds, especially the humming birds -- they were just non-stop. Bring warm clothes: in the evening and first thing in the morning it can be very chilly up there in the mountains but during the day, once the sun had come up over the hills, we had glorious weather.
Las Cataratas Lodge
Hotel in San Gerardo de Dota
Situated in San Gerardo de Dota, 13 km from Cerro de la Muerte, Las Cataratas Lodge features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. I have been traveling Costa Rica for nearly two weeks now, staying at Bed and Breakfasts and cabins across the country. This location has been my absolute favorite, by far. The cabins are basic, but they bring a close comfort to you. I felt incredibly relaxed and was fully able to enjoy their quiet. Surrounding the cabin are a couple of hiking trails and a few small gazebos. You could hike to a couple of waterfalls or settle into and watch the constant comings-and-goings of the hummingbirds. The breakfasts were the best I've had in my travels so far. The dinner was also delicious. I found this spot a wonderful quiet oasis to connect with the wonderful flora and fauna surrounding me. I can't recommend it enough.
