This is a magical, peaceful place with many species of birds in beautiful grounds. The staff are all so professional, courteous & helpful. Specifically, Sylvia and Vicky in reception & tours were very welcoming and friendly; and Uriel and his team at the restaurant provided superb service in a relaxed atmosphere. We look forward to a return visit.

We had two nights here, one in a bungalow and one in a treehouse. Both were fabulous. And the staff at Maquenque were so very caring about ensuring my husband (who is disabled) had a wonderful stay. I can't then them enough. They have made the start of our holiday in Costa Rica so very memorable with their care but also their knowledge of the birds and other wildlife.

Fantastic ecolodge
Amazing lodge in the rainforest, with a lagoon that’s home to caiman and turtles, and many types of birds including toucans visit the feeders in front of the restaurant. We stayed in a treehouse 60ft up in the rainforest canopy which is highly recommended. The staff are really helpful, and the guided tours of the forest and river are great.
