Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time to experience Hotel Savannah and the Iguanita Refuge, and what wildlife can we expect to see?

We recommend visiting during Costa Rica's dry season, roughly December to April, for the most comfortable weather and easier exploration of the refuge. While Hotel Savannah itself is a luxurious base, the nearby Iguanita Refuge is a fantastic spot for birdwatching and spotting iguanas, of course, along with monkeys and sloths if you're patient. The lush surroundings of the hotel also attract a surprising array of colorful birds right to your balcony.

What is the overall atmosphere and experience like at Hotel Savannah, and does it truly feel luxurious?

Hotel Savannah truly delivers on luxury, offering a sophisticated and timeless ambiance that we absolutely adore. The service is impeccable, and the rooms are beautifully appointed with thoughtful touches, making it a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. We find the pool area particularly inviting, a serene oasis surrounded by tropical gardens.

How accessible is Hotel Savannah from major airports, and what should we budget for a typical stay?

Getting to Hotel Savannah is quite straightforward; we usually fly into Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) and arrange a private transfer, which takes about 2-3 hours through scenic landscapes. While it's a premium experience, we find the value excellent for the quality of accommodation and service; expect to budget around $300-$500 per night, depending on the season and room type. Meals and activities at the refuge would be additional.

Beyond relaxing at Hotel Savannah, what unique activities or excursions do you recommend in the immediate area, especially concerning the Iguanita Refuge?

We highly recommend taking a guided nature walk into Refugio de Vida Silvestre Iguanita; the local guides are incredibly knowledgeable and will point out camouflaged wildlife you'd surely miss. For a truly unique experience, consider a sunset boat tour along the nearby estuary - the sunsets are sensational, painting the sky in fiery hues, and you might spot crocodiles or nocturnal birds. The hotel can easily arrange these for you.

Is the area around Hotel Savannah and Refugio de Vida Silvestre Iguanita safe for travelers, and do you have any insider tips for making the most of our visit?

We've always felt very safe in the area surrounding Hotel Savannah and the Iguanita Refuge; Costa Rica is generally a very welcoming country for tourists. Our top insider tip is to pack light, breathable clothing, good walking shoes for the refuge, and plenty of insect repellent - the lush environment means mosquitoes are present, especially at dusk. Don't forget a good pair of binoculars for wildlife spotting!
