We had a wonderful stay at Hotel de Cabañas Valle Campanas. The owners/staff, breakfast, and the grounds made this stay. The cabins are basic but they are a good size, comfortable, clean, and the deck on the 2nd floor of the standard cabin is perfect for bird watching. The ecosystems in this area change dramatically as you move between lower elevations and the cloud forest. This hotel offered us a chance to see a number of bird species that we never encountered in our visits to the various reserves including Northern-Emerald Toucanet, Long-Tailed Manakin and Masked Tityra. We also had regular visits from groups of Lesson’s Motmots and White-Throated Magpie-Jays. Take advantage of the homemade breakfast offered ($9 US/person) as it’s delicious and portions are a good size (you have a choice of 3 options and all are vegetarian). The grounds are beautiful and you can take a short walk to the sunset tower and around their plantation. The cabañas are about a 10 minute walk to the nearest restaurant and about 15 minutes to the center of town. We didn’t have a rental car but found this short walk not to be a deterrent as it wasn’t strenuous. Note that taxis are expensive. There is a meal delivery service that we took advantage of our first night so we didn’t have to walk to town after a long travel day. All of the tours we did also provided transportation.
