Beautiful resort
"We loved this beautiful resort with wonderful flowers. Non of the rooms had wifi and our internet provider (Kolbi) wouldn’t work in the rooms. Wifi was provided in the restaurant and bar area. We did see quetzal birds with an early morning guide…well worth it!"

9.2/10 Wonderful! (527 reviews)
"Room was comfortable. No view from room. Pretty area with gardens around walkways. Not a lot of outside seating areas. Most rooms are a walk uphill a ways. Not many have close parking. Trails uphill behind resort. 4x4 drive to upper parking was in good shape and looked good enough for 2 wheel when ..."

8.2/10 Very Good! (61 reviews)
"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 ..."

Fantastic Family Vacation
"Our family of 8 stayed at Casa Sea Breeze last week and we all had an amazing time. The location is perfect - secluded, yet only a 15 min drive into Dominical and the beaches. Beautiful ocean views and sunsets. The grounds are even prettier than the pictures and we saw lots of toucans and monkeys. ..."

Fabulous stay at elegant place with thrilling view
"We (4 adults in our 60s) loved our stay at this very secluded and architecturally elegant place with a huge view across the jungle to the sea.

It is really rural and quiet but there isn’t much to do besides hiking and nature.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

San Gerardo de Dota in particular is a place for those who love the quiet, nature, walking or bird watching. Even though I am not a bird watcher, I love the place for its tranquility and beautiful nature.
