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.

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!

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!!

This was a great property off the beaten path. Road going down is narrow and could use some work but once you get there it’s worth it. Staff was excellent.

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!

Très beau séjour dans un environnement paradisiaque.
Le personnel est très aimable et la propriété est doté de sentiers en forêt pour l'observation de la flore et de la faune. De nombreuses excursions sont également offertes. Nous avons eu l'occasion de voir des quetzals à trois reprises en seulement une journée. Le restaurant est très bien avec une ambiance chaleureuse et les prix sont corrects.

Such a beautiful place…But unfortunate problems!
Such a beautiful place and location. A unique stay. We have stayed before that’s why we came again. Unfortunately we had some not so good experiences this time. Mostly with the restaurant. We brought friends with us and we all had different entrees the first night. Each one said the meal was not good! The service was very poor. Breakfast was good. Except for the pineapple/ coconut juice which had soured. But again very poor service. The second night we could only trust a pizza to be palatable. So unfortunate! Also no towels to dry hands in the bathroom off the bar. We mentioned this but nothing changed. If they could change the staff issue and better meals it would get a better rating.

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.
