Sachatamia Lodge

We spent for two nights as part of a six-week South America trip and this was one of the very best places we stayed in. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful with a very strong sense of customer service. The whole lodge and surrounding outside areas are extremely well kept, clean and tidy. The lodge is nicely finished with wood and some attractive artwork; and there is a very pleasant restaurant and small lounge area. A good selection of drinks is available and we found the meals, from an extensive menu, of good quality and reasonably-priced. On check-in, we were offered a choice of rooms and the double we selected (in the main building) was very comfortable, well finished and with good views across the forest. The shower had good flow and temperature. The walls were, however, a bit thin and we could hear people in other rooms. There are some nice seating ares outside the lodge with great views and feeders which attract a good variety of birds including Hummingbirds and Tanagers. Agoutis are also regular. There are trails to follow through the forest and, a short walk from the lodge, a hide by a moth blind which attracted some good birds especially at first light. Sightings here, included Long-wattled Umbrellabird, Masked Trogon, Rufous Motmot and Mottled Owl. A map of the trails would have been useful. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay here, and would definitely recommend it!
