We had a great time discovering this hidden gem. Restaurant service and food quality is exc! The room was very well equipped, the bed is really comfy and the coolest thing about it is you gotta take a trial through the forest to get to your bungalow. You will get to see lots of birds and its pretty calm to have a great sleep. Im definitely coming back. Hopefully for the coldest time of the year.

We loved our superior forest bungalow overlooking the cloud forest. It was super cozy and very quiet. We were visited by many hummingbirds on our little deck. The restaurant was top notch - very pretty and intimate and the food was amazing. It was a great place for bird watching at breakfast and lunch. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

What a wonderful eexoerience we had at Dantica Cloud Forest Lodge! It net all my exoectations. We came to the mountsins to see the Respendant Quetzal bird and our guide Carlos was the best. We saw a male and a female. The dining at Dantuca is exceptional. The dishes were original and very tasty. Service was terrific too. I would recommend it to anyone.

Even with all the great reviews, this hotel exceeded our expectations. Amazing views from the rooms and everywhere else. Fantastic restaurant with glass walls looking into the surrounding trees and mountains. Totally recommended - try to arrive by daylight if possible- the final few kms would be challenging in the dark.

We had an amazing stay at Dantica. We weren't sure what to expect, but the property is amazing. So much wildlife, so many beautiful trails to explore. The room, more like a palace, had an amazing view and was so unique and comfortable. The staff were always smiling, and the food was fabulous. We would definitely come back. The only word of caution to others...this is a good solid 8,000 feet of elevation, so don't plan to do much your first day if you suffer from altitude issues. It took us a day to adjust, but after that, we were off and running.

This hotel and its rooms are absolutely gorgeous. Located on a vast property with trails to enjoy this piece of paradise in the mountains. The restaurant has delicious food. Only bummer is that breakfast is only for 2 hours from 7 to 9, which is a time when you will be our bird watching if you came to the area to do bird watching (which is what most people do here). So even so our breakfast was included we could not have it. Note that you will walk about half a kilometer to get to your room, which is when better for a mature immersion, but this will be complicated if you have a suitcase to carry. The trails is made of spades out flagstones so you cannot just drag your suitcase on its wheels you will have to carry it. But if you take that into account and are ready for it, you will have a guaranteed amazing time at this gorgeous hotel.

A special experience but not for everyone. The cloud forest reserve involves hiking up and down steep slopes and the trail from reception/restaurant to most of the rooms is 200m with a lot of steps. Some glimpses of wildlife but not a huge amount. Restaurant excellent and good value, especially the local fish. Room heating by air conditioner a bit erratic.

The staff and general beauty of the place/location was excellent. The room was not very clean. The heating unit was inadequate for the space and chilliness of the location. Otherwise we had a lovely stay.

First thing to note is if you have a stand alone cabin you will be walking a long way to your cabin…through the woods, up and down hills on cobblestone. It was cold the night we were there and the heater in the room was insufficient. The breakfast was nice and the people were nice.

This lodge is in a wonderful location with excellent staff and dining. Extremely helpful and cognizant of our needs. When they found my wife had a struggle with the paths to the cabins they relocated us to make our stay easier without us asking. Overall great, they are on a mountainside so getting around can be a bit challenging. The restaurant was excellent and all the service was beyond reproach.

Incredible variety of birds. Very unique location. Far surpassed my expectations. The area is way more of a cloud forest than Monte Verde. The dinning experience was the best that I've ever encountered in Costa Rica! Looking forward to my next visit!

Rooms not adequately maintained, dirt and cobwebs, multiple insects inside, trails treacherous, very cold at night, must a unlock the door from the inside using a key which is a hazard if you nust evacuate quickly. The only positive was the service. Would not stay here again.

Dantica is a beautiful property in the cloud forest, with individual cabins arranged up the hillside. It was quite cold our first night, and the down comforter and heater were very welcome. Visitors need to be aware that the cabins are a long walk uphill from the parking and restaurant--perhaps 1/4 mile on a well-lit but circuitous path through the wood--plan on leaving luggage in your car and using a knapsack to take just what you need. The restaurant was particularly good, with local trout the specialty

Très bel hôtel aux environs de Quetzales. Nous avions le bungalow Quetzal avec une vue superbe sur la forêt. Le bungalow est top avec une décoration recherchée, une baignoire à jet… Vous pouvez vous promener dans le domaine pour essayer de voir le quetzal. Le personnel est très aimable, le petit déjeuner est très bien ainsi que le restaurant. Attention néanmoins, selon l’emplacement de votre bungalow vous pouvez avoir 500 m jusqu’au restaurant et 350m jusqu’au parking avec un peu de dénivelée, donc mieux vaut voyager léger!
