    We loved the stunning views and beautiful location surrounded by lush forests. The guided hikes were informative and the guides were very knowledgeable. The meals were delicious and healthy. The lodge had a cozy cabin feel, with clean rooms and comfortable beds. We also enjoyed waking up to the sounds of hummingbirds outside.

    Felt like royalty, no complaints.

    For the price we paid, we got great value and a really nice room. The location of the lodge in the cloud forest was stunning and the staff treated us like family.

    Hotel breakfast could have been better, it lacked flavor.

    The best part of our Easter stay was the amazing variety of birds we saw during our hikes. We were guided by knowledgeable and friendly guides who helped us spot over 50 species in just a few hours. The location of the lodge was also a major highlight, with stunning views of the forest and easy access to various hiking trails. Additionally, the meals provided were delicious and satisfying, with three courses and a good variety of options.

    One of the downsides of our stay was the condition of our room. The room was damp and had a musty smell, which made it a bit uncomfortable.

    We had a fantastic experience at Bellavista. The lodge provided a shuttle to and from the site, making transportation a breeze. The rooms were cozy and well-equipped, with a private bathroom and even a heater for those chilly nights. The guided hikes were informative and led by knowledgeable guides, who were experts at spotting various bird and creature species. The highlight of our stay was the night hike, where we saw incredible creatures that we wouldn't have seen during the day. The food at the lodge was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. we highly recommend Bellavista Cloud Forest Lodge & Private Protected Area for an unforgettable stay in the cloud forest.

    The location of the hotel was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views of the cloud forest in every direction. The wooden geodesic dome room with a balcony made me feel like I was staying in a treehouse, which was a unique and enjoyable experience. Plus, having the hummingbird feeding station right next to the reception was convenient and allowed me to witness these beautiful creatures up close.

    The rooms at the hotel were quite basic and could use some upgrading. Additionally, the pricing of the hotel was on the higher end, which I felt was not justified considering the basic amenities provided.

    Our stay at Bellavista was truly worth the money. The room had a wonderful view of the forest, and we could relax and watch the birds from our sitting area. The location was stunning, surrounded by lush forests, and the staff treated us with great care and hospitality.

    The breakfast menu could use some improvement in terms of flavor, but if you're primarily interested in the birds, it should be alright.

    Superb jungle walks offered in the lodge's own forest reserve. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides. Dedicated and friendly staff, making you feel at home. Tasty and simple full board meals. Nice rooms with amenities like a sitting area and covered porch. Excellent guided walks, especially the pre-breakfast bird walk. Opportunity to see a variety of bird species, animals, flora, and fauna. Excursions to different elevations to observe different bird populations

    Felt very welcome, nothing to complain about

    The birdwatching experience at the lodge was incredible. The guides were excellent in finding and identifying different bird species. The restaurant served delicious food, and the hummingbird feeding station was always busy. The bamboo cottage where we stayed was comfortable and had a great hot shower. The forest trails were well-mapped and offered a range of difficulty levels.

    One downside was that the excursions were not well-advertised. We only found out about them by overhearing the guides.

    The location of this lodge offers stunning views of the cloud forest and surrounding areas. Guests can enjoy the beautiful scenery from their room, such as the large windows that overlook the forest. The lodge also provides guided hikes, allowing guests to explore the mountains and experience the diverse wildlife. The staff is friendly and accommodating, providing excellent service throughout the stay.

    The management of the lodge has been reported to be poor, with unhelpful attitudes and potential overcharging.

    The location of this lodge is perfect for bird-watching, with diverse bird-life both within the lodge and on the surrounding trails. The guides are knowledgeable, especially Freddie, and the views from the rooms are stunning. The German House offers comfortable amenities like a heater, kettle, and beautiful panoramic windows. The staff provides friendly and helpful service, and the breakfast is simple yet well-prepared.

    The musty smell and moldy bedding in some rooms were disappointments.
