Gran Gavilán del Sarapiquí Lodge

The accommodation is rustic and fairly basic but the location is fantastic and the staff couldn't be more helpful. They even looked after our 9 year old daughter one evening to enable us to go on a night tour. You are surrounded by so many birds it is a delight from the first moment each day. The breakfast is very good and the staff will organise tours for you and give you good recommendations. The pool is a treat too and you can watch all types of birds flying around while you take a dip. We loved this place. It isn't high end luxury, but that's not what we are visiting for - we would rather avoid the crowds and be immersed in this wildlife haven.

All great. Mattresses are quite firm but that just depends on your preference. We all slept very well.

It was absolutley beautiful

The staff was fantastic...very helpful. Location was good and the grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Breakfast and supper were good.

Restaurant was closed one evening so had to drive in the dark and rain for supper. Would like to see better marking of the trails, plus a simple map.

Lots of colors, nice breakfast (though limited portion), nice garden. Some of the staff was really very nice.

The room is very basic and not fitting the price. There was noise every day of maintenance, surroundings and the walls are paper thin. You really need a car. They feed the birds and thus rodents etc. Not allowed in Costa Rica and for good reason.
