Wir hatten zusätzlich zum Queenbett noch zwei Einzelbetten. Die Matratzen waren generell nicht sehr bequem. Bei einem Einzelbett war diese extrem durchgelegen. Es war sehr warm, da es nur einen Deckenventilator sowie einen zusätzlichen Standventilator gab. Die Fenster konnten nicht richtig geschlossen werden und es waren auch teilweise die Fliegengitter kaputt. Wir haben keine Tour gebucht. Wir sind zum Wasserfall gewandert. Hier ist uns aufgefallen, dass einige Geländer kaputt waren, welche dringend mal repariert werden müsste. Das Essen war leider nicht so gut. Es hat geschmacklich immer etwas gefehlt und z. B. das Huhn war leider viel zu trocken. Es gab den ganzen Tag über die Möglichkeit Wasser und Kaffee zu trinken, wobei der Kaffee leider ab Mittag bereits lauwarm war. Espresso gab es leider nicht. ##### Volker Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vincent Feb 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities lieu fantastitique.

Stayed with my daughter for 2 nights, and enjoyed bathing in the pools above the waterfall, extensive and safe trails. Be really careful walking around the waterfall as help is a long way off if needed. A 24-hour chorus of wildlife seems to change every few minutes. The chocolate is absolutely fantastic. We slept in and had all of our meals in the lodge. The food was delicious and unique. With each meal was a different kind of freshly made juice. The staff are all very helpful and friendly, and are obviously just as happy to be there. Thank you ##### Jonathan Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 16, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A beautiful place to get away from the crowds at all the national parks. It’s about an hour up a bumpy dirt road so i definitely recommend a vehicle with 4 wheel drive. The staff is very friendly and accommodating! They grow most of the food on site, and each meal is fresh and delightful. There are hiking trails and beautiful ponds and waterfalls. There are two outdoor yoga decks for self guided meditation. A special thanks to the manager, Fabiola, who went above and beyong to make us feel comfortable!

This proved true. Staff was welcoming, coming out to meet us and carrying our luggage to our room. They were helpful and generous at every turn; Alvin found us out walking and offered a tour, with tastings, of the fruit orchard and vegetable gardens. The grounds are beautiful, with gardens thoughtfully planted. We purchased the full-board plan, and the food was very good and plentiful. Our room in the lodge was very comfortable, though if we were staying for longer than a couple nights, we'd probably want to rent one of the cabins to have a little more space. Our room offered large screened windows overlooking the ponds below, perfect for a couple of birders wanting to see birds coming to the pond. Birding was good right around the lodge, with a large variety of species coming to a couple of fruiting trees right above the parking lot. NOTE: the Googlemap directions linked to the website send you up Rt. 320 if you are coming from the northwest - this road is significantly rough, potholed, and slow going for much of the way. When we left, we asked a couple of fellows in the nearest town which way to go to get to a coastal town southeast of Jaco, and they directed us down a different road that was MUCH smoother and more pleasant, and came out at Jaco. Worth taking! ##### eulabeans Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katja, Hamburg Jan 20, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Unser bestes Hotel in Costa Rica Wunderschön angelegte Anlage. Es beginnt mit einer von Palmen und großen Farnen gesäumten Zufahrt. Dazu kommen hübsche Teiche, reizvolle Plätze zum Entspannen und Vögel beobachten, gepflegten Bungalows mit tollen Ausblick. Ein kurzer Wanderweg führt zu einem Wasserfall, ein anderer durch Kakaopflanzen. Die eigene Schokolade ist übrigens köstlich. Sehr freundliches und äußerst hilfsbereites Personal und sehr gute Küche. Rundum TOP. ##### Katja Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurence, Lyon, France Jan 14, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ecolodge epoustouflant Un magnifique hotel de belle facture en symbiose avec la nature.

Le concept de l ecolodge est tres interessant, cadre depaysant et relaxant à decouvrir. Son acces est déjà une aventure, et tout à fait jouable en 4x4\.

Super long drive over a slow bumpy road with lots of rocks. The staff does not speak good English and we had communication problems which made me feel badly since I am very courteous and try to be polite and humble, but they did not understand our questions. The rooms were nice but the beds and bedding not the best quality. The food was excellent, but you are limited to eating there, no other choices and it's pricey. The grounds are beautiful, they have the best waterfall! And a natural spa. It's a nice eco lodge, they aspire to be self sustaining and you can feel good about that. ##### California Girl Stayed 1 night in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jose Feb 24, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great and relaxing Great place for relax and detox time. Eco-friendly lodge with awesome gardens, trails and a waterfall. Bungalows have a great view to the mountains. Excellent and healthy food. Road requieres a 4WD, but it is NOT dangerous, just bumpy. ##### Jose ### 10/10 Excellent #### linda , Montlaur Jan 12, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Un havre de paix en pleine nature Une arrivée dans un très bel endroit, un très bon accueil de Jessica avec un jus de fruit bien frais, une très belle vue sur une pièce d'eau. C'est ce que l'on voit du bâtiment principal. Le jardin est merveilleux et très bien entretenu. Les repas sont très bons. ##### linda ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 3, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Besondere Lodge!! Wunderschöne Umgebung, auf ökologisch wird sehr viel Wert gelegt. Frühstück und Abendessen super toll, selbstgebackenes Brot, eigener Honig, eigenes Gemüse usw. Anfahrt allerdings schwierig, wobei bei unserer Abfahrt gerade die Straßenbauarbeiter zu Gange waren, also scheint Besserung in Sicht. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Irene , München,,Bayern Aug 30, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Eines der besten Hotels in 4 Wochen CR! Super Köchin, vieles wird selbst angebaut. Bungalows traumhaft, mir toller Aussicht und 'mittendrin'. Einer der besten Plätze, um Yoga zu praktizieren! Viele Tiere zu beobachten, mehr als auf so manch geführter Dschungelwanderung. Anlage ist riesig und super in die Umgebung integriert. Personal immer zuvorkommend,,freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Anfahrt etwas anspruchsvoller, mit 4WD und bei Tage jedoch machbar. ##### Irene ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria, Miami Jul 30, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Just what the doctor ordered. The lodge is beautiful and peaceful. It's exactly what we wanted. Note however that the road to get there is an adventure. Do not drive at night! Also best if not raining or foggy. So if you are renting a car, you need a 4wheel drive SUV. The manager and staff are beyond gracious and accommodating. The food, which is grown entirely on the premises, is just divine. Literally the best food we had in the entire country. Bring your binoculars and camera. The wildlife and birds/bats/insects abound. It's quite spectacular. Can't wait to return. ##### Victoria ### 6/10 Okay #### Veronique, France Apr 2, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Difficile d acces nous avons mis plus de deux heures pour trouver le lodge. Il est tres mal fléché et au milieu de nulle part gps google maps et waze ont eu du mal a le trouver.une fois la haut n envisagez pas de redescendre pour diner prevoyez la demi pension .Plats imposés!! Le cadre vaut le coup c est tout je ne le conseille pas pour une nuit plus si vous voulez vivre en pleine nature ##### Veronique ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dariusz, Austin Jan 23, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A true retreat This was an experiment, Macaw Lodge is not your typical hotel, it is a remote place of beauty and serenity. It started very well, seeing we were tired after getting there (use a 4WD vehicle and give yourself up to one hour to travel the last 12 miles long stretch of the unpaved road - it is well worth it!) the nice lady at the reception immediately suggested that we go to our room and rest instead of checking in. Our room had no glass windows, instead, one of the walls was just a screened opening. Falling asleep to all the noises from the jungle and nearby ponds and waking up to the birds was an amazing experience. The locally-grown food is well prepared and the breakfast beautifully presented. If you go to Costa Rica for nature, away from the crowds, I highly recommend Macaw Lodge, if you go for zip-lining, parasailing, nightlife and such, this is not your place. ##### Dariusz ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristen May 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Kristen Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maryse Apr 8, 2024 ##### Maryse Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Coast Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-The-Coast-Beachfront-Hotel.h18530265.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Guanacaste-Resort-And-Spa.h2190860.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Nosara Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Nosara-Beach-Hotel.h32722062.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Peace Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Vara-Blanca-Hotels-Peace-Lodge.h5441851.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Lost Iguana Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Lost-Iguana-Resort-And-Spa.h1174121.Hotel-Information) > > [MARAVIDA Boutique Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Best-Western-Tamarindo-Vista-Villas.h901274.Hotel-Information) > > [Botanika Osa Peninsula Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Botanika-Osa-Peninsula.h69305784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport ](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Lapa Rios Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Lapa-Rios-Lodge.h1447895.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin](https://www.expedia.ca/Curubande-Hotels-Hotel-Hacienda-Guachipelin.h1122531.Hotel-Information) > > [Refugio Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Surf-House.h84012769.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue River Resort & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Guayabo-Hotels-Blue-River-Resort-Hot-Springs.h3969358.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Borinquen Thermal Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Canas-Dulces-Hotels-Borinquen-Thermal-Resort.h1155801.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Crocs Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Crocs-Resort-Casino.h8741357.Hotel-Information)
