The best indication I can give of how much I love this place that I have now come here twice! And on the second trip, I brought my beloved aunt and uncle, to show them the beauties of Costa Rica. There’s no better way to see the extraordinary views of Dota then from these giant windows overlooking the mountains. As always, we loved the food and the service, and we added so many birds to our life list! Truly magical place and I will be back!

This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed in my life! Waking up every morning to those giant windows looking out over the pristine mountains, watching cloud formations and fog roll in, even watching a rainbow move across the face of the mountains… It was just tremendously special. The trails, the waterfalls, and of course the birds… Everything about this magical place will stay with me forever! And I was especially grateful that I got to bring my dog!
