We loved the Macaw Lodge and most specially the wooden cabanas made of splendid exotic wood, the natural pools and cascades accessible after easy walk through the jungle, excellent breakfast overlooking beautiful exotic gardens and ponds. The opportunity to watch Martin pêcheur d’amazonie every morning, toucans tocard, pic ouentou, jacana du Mexique, dendrocygne à ventre noir, onoré du Mexique (French names)...we also recommend strongly this place for the kindness of the staff.

The room was basically a small private bungalow with a unique feature: an outside toilet and bathroom in that it was part of the small outside garden but sealed off from view. I thought this was amusing though I can imagine some might find it bizarre. Another interesting feature were the birds visible when eating breakfast. I don't believe in feeding the wildlife but it was a pleasure to see so many birds including a few Aras (red parrots). We saw more there than in any of the parks. Breakfast was good and the pizza was good too...made by an Italian so it had to be. Great stopover place when travelling from the north pacific coast to the south atlantic coast.

Marie was very welcoming. The room was great and very modern. The location is good and we saw scarlet macaws in the trees on the property. The breakfast was all home made and of a high standard. The pool was warm maybe a bit small but still lovely.

The lodge was incredible, beautiful and quiet. The host was very friendly and accommodating - there were lots of great little extras (coffee, board games, snuggly blankets, great toiletries). The garden was amazing and we saw lots of lovely birds (hummingbirds and macaws). The host recommended a lovely local restaurant with authentic Costa Rica food. The location is perfect. We wish we could have stayed longer but we're only in the area for one night!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The rooms are huge and very beautiful. The kitchen is to prepare some fruit to enjoy them at the terrace or at the pool. Very good traditional breakfast at the restaurant. Staff is very friendly and always available. Rooms and entire hotel is very clean.
