Hotel Quelitales

Have an exceptional birding experience with more than 70% of all Costa Rican hummingbirds! We have four bungalows and six suites and two junior suite,that have been built and are operated with low environmental impact. All bungalows and suites have space between them (PRIVACY) and spectacular views of the surroundings, including Dona Ana Waterfall. Your birdwatching experience is of the utmost importance to us. That is why, along with our local guides, we can organize for you short tours to 15 hotspots in the Cartago Province. In total, you could observe more than 500 different species during your stay in our Hotel. If you have only a few hours to catch your flight, Hotel Quelitales will be a perfect destination to do birding near San José. Thanks to our location, we are a paradise for nature lovers (one of the best birding hotspots in Costa Rica) and a perfect starting point. Mornings are usually the best time for flock observation – in the early afternoon, we will drive you back to our hotel where you can relax in your room or calm down close to Doña Ana waterfall.

Special Stay!

Reviewed By Dick S

A two-night stay not only for birding on the grounds but as the base for side trips in the area. The covered "hide" made for a great way to see the antpitta and the wood-quail not to mention other species frequenting the forested landscape. The area maintained for hummingbirds had several species enjoying feeders and flowering shrubs. The high waterfall made for a great setting. Our cottage was spacious, tastefully furnished and comfy. A minor downside was the presence of several "bugs. Typical of many accommodations in CR is that doors are not snug in frames enabling critters, mostly insects, free entrance. A minor inconvenience. Staff was friendly and always available. And, I would be remiss if I didn't comment on the food. I understand locals frequent the restaurant particularly on weekends for the excellent cuisine. And, we were not disappointed. The meals were excellent! The open dinning room makes for a special setting overhanging the koi pond with a "wall" of water falling from the roof. Plus, server Gabriel, an avid birder, made for an enjoyable experience. Would we return? Definitely yes.

Grandpas Hotel

Grandpas' Hotel is located a few miles away from Irazu Volcano. A mountain hotel with wood cabins on the mountain top. Because it's so small we offer great one-on-one service.

A charming place to stay

Reviewed By mlmdaisy

Like others, we chose Grandpas Hotel to be close to Irazu Volcano. We were very comfortable in the cottage. Yes, it gets cool at night and the cute little space heater doesn't produce much heat but, really, it's not THAT cold. We had everything we needed and we had both dinner and breakfast at the onsite restaurant. The food was fine and everyone working there was very nice. The views are lovely, the location was good, and I would stay here again.

Spontaneously we decided to stay here. The service is really top. Very nice and friendly staff. Our room was spacious enough for 4 adults and the view is really amazing. It’s located close to the volcano. So stay a night before and start early to the volcano.

Cabinas Turisticas Cerro Alto

A place to visit If you love nature

Reviewed By perrolocoproductions

We had the chance to do a 3 nights stay in Cerro Alto. Even when the weather was rainy and cold (Remember: Is The Cerro de la Muerte !) we were able to do some hiking (Hotel has 3 different trails available) and some bird watching. Cabins are rustic but comfy and you can find a basic kitchen set to cook your meal if needed. Very accommodating crew in a family environment. We plan to come back, but this time with all photo and bird watching gear!

Ask for the private room with bathroom in the back

Reviewed By jodygodfrey

The room in the back garden, was lovely, clean and quiet. I paid extra for the private bath but it was worth it to have this little extra private space. breakfast extra, coffee available if you take it black.
