Gateway is overall pretty good though- run by Kevin Easley- excellent birder and nice guy.Hard to beat the feeders though. Other lodges on Carib. slope middle elevations (cheaper but lacking guides and feeders are: Heliconias at Bijagua, Kiri just outside Tapanti, new community lodge called Copal (?) near rancho- supposedly fantastic birding- I need to get there!). An expensive option is la Paz waterfall gardens. Could also go with own transport and hired guide to various sites away from lodges and get most of the same bird species.</blockquote>
