Savegre Hotel Natural Reserve & Spa

What guests think

At Savegre Hotel Natural Reserve & Spa, travelers highlight immersive nature, well-kept grounds with trails and birdlife, friendly staff, and comfortable if sometimes dated rooms, while noting a steep, rough access road and occasional service or dining inconsistencies.

The spa and bar with fireplace add to relaxation, and guided birding is widely appreciated. Rooms range from cozy cabins to larger suites with fireplaces, but some lack amenities like TVs or minibars, sit uphill with limited views, or have spotty in-room Wi-Fi. Breakfast is regularly praised, while dinner quality and prices feel inconsistent across reviews. Expect a serene, nature-first stay in a remote, carefully maintained reserve.

We went here with another couple and enjoyed 2 junior suites next to one another without other rooms nearby. Everything was great: room, staff, food. We especially loved the birding tour with Julian Fernandez which started at 5:15 AM to look for quetzals (which we saw) and after breakfast we continued with the tour until 11. Julian was so knowledgable and took the time to explain many fascinating things about birds. This is definatly a bird watcher's paradise. I used the hot tub and even enjoyed watching birds through the big glass windows surrounding the hot tub.

This is a wonderful resort property in its own right, but the "Feathers Garden" (owned by a local bird guide named Mervin and right on the property) for $5/day/person offers bananas and hummingbird feeders to local birds, and draws a huge number of species. It was such a pleasure to sit there and see/photograph so many species!

Room was comfortable. No view from room. Pretty area with gardens around walkways. Not a lot of outside seating areas. Most rooms are a walk uphill a ways. Not many have close parking. Trails uphill behind resort. 4x4 drive to upper parking was in good shape and looked good enough for 2 wheel when dry. Dining was fine, with good service. Trout was good, though I think it was better for lunch up the road at the next cafe. Bar area has seating and fire. Happy hour 3-5. The resort seems to do a lot of large bus groups. Dining room was full with 4 tables of 10-15 people and just a handful of couples at other tables.

I would definitely come back.

We had the most incredible three-day stay at the Savegre thanks to the gorgeous surroundings and incredibly kind and attentive staff! The rooms are not large, but they are thoughtfully designed with a sitting area, beautiful large bathroom with tub, and a little porch bench out front facing the lovely garden. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, offering typical dishes as well as American and European choices. We hiked all of the well-kept trails, and saw birds of all kinds. But the icing on the already delicious cake was seeing many Quetzals on the property each morning at breakfast. We could not have asked for a better stay in this magical place!

This was our worst stay in CR. Access road in extremely rough. Waiting staff rude, insolent and insincere. Food boring, overpriced and not enjoyable and pestered often by staff to reserve for dinner. Basic spa services had to be paid for-$50 for 2 people to use a crappy old hot tub for 1 hour. Room was dated and at night with heater on still freezing cold. The bed was something we should make prisoners sleep on- coil springs sticking out that never gave me a nights sleep. Complaints to staff did nothing.

You need to travel about 9 kilometers down a very steep and switchbacked road to get to Savegre, but it's worth it! We had a 4 wheel drive vehicle and were happy that we did. The rooms are spacious and have a fireplace as it can get chilly up at these elevations. There are wonderful trails that you can drive up to (about 2 kilometers from the hotel). Or you can just wander around the premises and down to the fast flowing stream. If you are looking to see the Resplendent Quetzals when in Costa Rica, they were right at the hotel! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful with excellent command of English (although we awere able to practice our Spanish with them too). Alehandra and Juliet were great at the front desk!

El lunar ha sido, y sigue siendo la gastronomía, la cual SIN duda debe mejorar, un restaurante TAN hermoso que tiene con su espectacular remodelación, no puede tener la decadente comida que debía ofreció.
