San Gerardo de Dota
The restaurant opens from 7am. A hearty picnic basket is also available for guests heading out on a walk or excursion. A hiking trail leads to the nearby 20-hectare private cloud forest reserve, excellent for birdwatching – this valley is one of the best places to see the resplendent quetzal.
The hotel also offers a children's play area, a laundry service and a gallery of contemporary and indigenous art from various Latin American countries.
The lodge has eight luxury bungalows: seven superior rooms and one suite. Three bungalows are located near the reception area and the other six within the forest. All rooms offer spectacular views over the valley and the cloud-covered mountains.
Each bungalow has one or two bedrooms with a private terrace, large picture windows, goose-down duvets, heating, a minibar, a coffee maker, satellite television, a jacuzzi, a hairdryer and a safe. The four-person bungalows also have a living room with a fully equipped kitchen.
The suite is larger and features a fireplace, a sunken jacuzzi and a private forest garden with its own path.
Los Santos Reserve and Quetzales National Park are must-see discoveries. The hotel offers tours to these sites, including an excellent canopy tour.
