Stunning grounds, comfortable rooms.

Had a lovely stay. The grounds are gorgeous. Our room was clean, and plenty warm with the small heater. We didn't even need to leave the property to see a Quetzal. I love the communal bar/lounge.

The perfect Place to Stay to See Quetzals

The perfect place to stay to maximize your chances of seeing quetzals. Not the cheapest but worth every dollar. Beautiful grounds even in the rain. Very friendly and attentive staff. Good restaurant with great service. Truly excellent guide in Greibin.

This lodge is a hidden gem. The food at the restaurant was a little hit and miss, but everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. Greivin went out of his way to help in any way he could and he also leads the excellent Quetzal tours every morning!! Great stay!!

Beautiful resort

We loved this beautiful resort with wonderful flowers. Non of the rooms had wifi and our internet provider (Kolbi) wouldn’t work in the rooms. Wifi was provided in the restaurant and bar area. We did see quetzal birds with an early morning guide…well worth it!

A supremely good place to stay for enjoying the cloud rainforest, and birds. If you're an athlete you can either hike, run the trails, or jog/run the Quetzales grinder hill descent and climb and see the bird on the way.

We loved the nature around Trogon Lodge. The landscaping was amazing, and my son loved watching the trout in the pond. We loved all the birds and the hiking trails. The grounds of Trogon Lodge were so lush and beautiful, and photos cannot capture their enchanting beauty. For people with mobility issues, be aware that the lodge is a steep slope and could be difficult for some. Also, it is advisable to pack wisely so you don't bring unnecessary luggage up to the room, as it is a trek carrying it.

The scenery on this property was extraordinary! Perfect place for birdwatchers. We saw both the male and female elusive Resplendent Quetzal as well as many other birds of the area. We saw the Quetzal on the property. The guided birding walk was well worth the cost - highly recommended! The gardens around the property are amazing - words cannot express the beauty and tranquility. The food at the lodge is excellent and included trout from the local area.

Trogon Lodge is set in beautiful grounds by the river, a really lovely setting, birds everywhere and the cabins are comfortable with porch sitting areas to enjoy watching the birds and hearing the river roaring. Quite magical! We dined at the restaurant and the food was delicious- with many selections. Breakfasts were also delicious with plenty of options. We enjoyed walking the Lodge's trails and grounds, early-morning and had 7 sightings of the beautiful Quetzals. It rained one afternoon so we enjoyed sitting at the bar sipping on hot tea and reading our books as we listened to the rain. We will definitely visit Trogon Lodge again!

Place is beyond beautiful, trails, small waterfall, so many cozy places to hang around, the decor is so nice. Restaurants was 7/10 at best, few options actually but there are really good restaurants nearby. Included breakfast was really good. Rooms are small but comfortable, heater was actually good (place is cold weather) but cleaning and amenities were lacking. I was afraid of the road to the hotel since received an email stating it was a little dangerous but in reality, you just have to go slowly and be cautious (no need for 4x4) Will totally come back
