Find Peace at Savegre Lodge

A mountain lodge in the Savegre Valley.

Welcome to the Savegre Lodge

Located in the tropical cloud forests of the Talamanca Mountains, three hours south of San JosƩ, Savegre Hotel Natural Reserve & Spa is a nature-lover's paradise. The family-owned hotel is located in a small community called San Gerardo de Dota and is the perfect secluded escape for nature-lovers, birdwatchers, couples, and families with slightly older children.

The hotel is committed to environmental protection, having become certified through the Costa Rican Tourism Board with a Level 5 (highest available) CST (Certificate of Sustainable Tourism).

Remote Location

Just getting to the hotel is an adventure that you will never forget. Set in a valley with steep hillsides surrounding, it's truly a remote location that even most Costa Ricans will never have the chance to visit. 

Sitting on nearly 1,000 acres of private nature reserve, the Savegre Hotel has 50 rustic guest rooms with simple furnishings.  The rooms are surrounded by gardens with stunning views from the terrace and come standard with heater, safe, hair dryer, and coffeemaker. There is no A/C or TV sets at Savegre allowing you  the opportunity to truly enjoy this rustic environment. Free WiFi access is available in the lobby and restaurant/bar area.

Guests can relax in their rooms or in the hotel's common areas, like the bar and restaurant which offer great cuisine and a relaxing ambiance. The hotel also has a superb spa, where guests can indulge in beauty treatments, massages and more.

Nature Lover’s Paradise

The hotel offers tours like cloud forest drives, waterfall hikes, and horseback riding across the property. Its location makes it the perfect setting to go on tours of Cerro de la Muerte,  Los Quetzales National Park, Cerro Buena Vista, Los Santos Coffee Tour, Tolumuco Forest, and more!

Hiking trails, nearly 20 miles, range from 1 (very easy) to 5 (physically challenging), and you will be able to see countless different species of birds, waterfalls, 200-foot tall trees, and even spot the legendary quetzal!

Other On-Site Offerings

Las Bromelias Restaurant offers both buffet and a la carte dining. Dishes are a blend of international cuisine and traditional Costa Rican favorites. Food allergies and special diets can be accommodated with notice.

Don’t forget to get pampered at the full-service spa, and go shopping at the gift shop, and the convenience store.

Our agent made our honeymoon stress-free and fun! She was available throughout, even when I felt unwell early in the trip. Her support and great recommendations helped us feel better fast. So grateful for the special touches she added along the way.
