Reviews of Cabinas El Quetzal

A lovely light room with great views from the balcony and the benefit of being able to park right outside. We appreciated the good facilities in the room including fresh coffee and a fridge. Great to watch a variety of hummingbirds and other birds by the cafe. Very helpful information when we arrived about local walks and places to visit.

Excellent location alongside Savegre Rio in the heart of the bird watching habitat, with personalised, high quality guiding available from a family member (Carlos - excellent). Small, clean, comfortable rooms with duvets to keep out the cold. Very helpful staff. Simple but tasty breakfast prepared for us after our dawn quetzal watching tour was over. Recommend as a good, family run option for independent bird watchers as an alternative to some of the larger properties in the Savegre valley.

Very basic cabins but lovely and clean. Excellent location for birds watching. Lovely staff.

Lovely setting, with the river flowing below our rooms, many birds and excellent hummingbird feeders. Seeing a quetzal fly past us as we sat on our balcony was very nice!

Cabinas et Quetzal only serves breakfast, and the nearest restaurants are 1-2 km away. It wouldn't be a problem if you are there with a car, but if you don't have a car it's difficult - after dinner you either have a longish steep walk in the dark, or you have to organise a driver to give you a ride home. The staff at Cabinas organised this for us, but you have to make a special request to make it happen.

Friendly staff, beautiful location with beautiful gardens all around and great birding right on the premises

Some comfortable cushion chairs for sitting inside would’ve been nice. The only place to read at night was to lie in bed or sit up in bed, but that was not very comfortable for long.

Did not include breakfast Unforeseen delays resulted in a late arrival and the road down is too treacherous for night travel

The location of the property is excellent, located right at the river. It is very clean and the bed is super comfortable. If we had known, we would have stayed longer.

Good location for birders. More than 10 species of birds are around their feeder. Quetzal is watched close the lodge. Room is clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good

Even though almost all the roads to the property is paved, road condition is a little bit hard.. At night it was very cold, so be prepared.

San Gerardo is magical. Tons of hummingbirds feeding while we ate our breakfast!!! Lots of little excursions to be considered. A day of small little hikes is a huge amount of climbing.

We had a cold wet night and the cabin lacked a heating unit. We used a few of the extra blankets and crawled under the covers.

The sisters who ran the cabins were very friendly and helpful. Clean, basic cabins in a beautiful setting. We loved the deck with the amazing birds coming to the feeder.

Little trash can was overflowing by the second day. A coffee maker was in the room, but no filters were provided until we asked.

We had two cabins, one for our teenagers and one for us. Both were wonderfully spacious and comfortable with balconies overlooking the garden and river. It was cold at night but the beds had thick duvets and extra blankets were provided. This is such a beautiful place, with a balcony where they feed the hummingbirds and numerous other birds - you could sit there for hours watching them. The breakfast was delicious. It is owned by a family and they were all super friendly. We recommend getting up early to do the quetzal tour. They have obviously put a lot of effort into making this a fabulous place. We stayed an extra night as we loved it so much.

Nothing.

The central bird watching balcony was great and comfortable with beautiful views of birds and river. Very caring and friendly team of workers. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was fine

I'd love if there was a kitchenette in the room and a pot for tea preparing. Shower hot water weren't very stable. The way down to the river could have been more organised. Reading lights near the bed could have been a nice improvement.

Place it’s really great, clean, room is pretty. Such a great place to rest

Nothing so far, I didn’t have any kind of issues at all

Large ptivate cabine close to nature with large balcony facing the mountain. We saw green toucanets from the balcony while having breakfast! Comfortable bed with lots of blankets. Hot water available. Large parking area. No kitchen but tea and coffee machine in the cabine. Don't be too late for check-in as road to get there is a steep and it is not easy to drive at night.

A bit pricy.

Patio with birds and view were awesome.

Beds could be more comfortable.

Excellent place to stay if you’re a birder. We saw the famous quetzal bird in the tree behind the property on both the evening and the next morning of our stay.

We were put in room number 2 which had a poor view of the garden. If you’re interested in seeing birds be sure to request either rooms 3, 4 or 5 - which all have balconies overlooking the garden.

The property was very nice. The staff and everyone were friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this property.
