Our stay was an exceptional experience. Roger and Rose were super kind and helpful giving ideas for places to visit, where to eat etc. One of the highlights was the breakfast, every day with fresh fruit juice and varied costarican food. Malekus is located in a stunning location surrounded by nature at its best. Definitively highly recommendable!!

“Amazing place”
If you are looking for a peaceful place, in nature, with excellent hosts, this is undoubtedly the right place. The rooms are very welcoming. Several breakfast options, always well prepared. The whole farm is wonderful, a fantastic pool, very well-maintained common spaces, with plenty of space to walk and lots of wildlife. It's close to several national parks. Roger and his wife are wonderful hosts! Always concerned about your stay and showing you around, with lots of tips, always available to help. In addition, they are extremely concerned about transforming the area into a better place, very concerned about the surrounding nature and wildlife. We loved talking and getting to know each other better and we have no other way of expressing how fantastic this place was - next time we return to Costa Rica we will definitely come back here!

“Paradise in the tropical mountains”
Our visit to this lodge was unforgettable!The rooms and all the property have a very special charm:) Everything was clean and very much thought about. We enjoyed the pool. The breakfast was amazing and plenty, they cooked eggs from their own chickens! Owners' hospitality was exceptional, it was pleasure to meet such a wonderful couple! We hike the trails and visited hot springs pool nearby. Highly recommend this place for families and couples, you will not regret:)

Great location, nice parc and lovely hotel. Roger was always willing to give advices and smiling just like his wife. We had access to the pool(s), inside and outside and even to the kitchen for the fridge.one of the best place to rest between 2 hard hikes.

The lodge is organised and managed by a friendly and very supportive owner. It is a very good location to visit the national park in guanacaste! Breakfast very good and home made! The Wi-Fi is very limited and not good but this was not a. Limit for us. Take into account that you have to pay in cash; euros, dollars and euros are accepted.

“Best hosts beautiful location.”
The hosts are very kind and helpful. The best service experienced so far. The location is just beautiful. They have a very nice garden. There is also a trail nearby wich should lead you to a great view. We missed that because of bad weather. The host helpt us to find other locations to drive to where we could still hike and where it was expected to be dry. We felt very welcome and would advise everyone to stay here.

“Best stay ever”
We’ve traveled quite a lot, but this is by far the place where we’ve met the kindest, most dedicated and benevolent owners of all our trips! We cannot emphasize enough how much we’ve appreciated our stay here, with their great advices, rooms (and breakfast)! We should have definitely stayed longer… This place is a gem!

“Exceptional place to stay.”
The hospitality at Malekus was fantastic. One feels completely attended to. Homemade breakfasts were wonderful. Lots do do in the area as long as the weather is good, though one can always drive to better weather.

If you are looking for a peaceful place, in nature, with excellent hosts, this is undoubtedly the right place. The rooms are very welcoming. Several breakfast options, always well prepared. The whole farm is wonderful, a fantastic pool, very well-maintained common spaces, with plenty of space to walk and lots of wildlife. It's close to several national parks.

“Fantastic!”
If you are in Costa Rica, you should spend a few days here! This place has great rooms, a nice pool, a huge beautiful garden, its own 3 hours jungle trail, which is nicer than the once in the national parks nearby. Both rincon and rio celeste national park are a 40 minutes drive away. Thermal baths 15 min drive, and the start of the climb of the nearby vulcano 10 min. The owners are lovely people, which have only one goal, and that is to contribute to the well being of their guests. Breakfast is great, best I had in costa rica. Lot of choice. For dinner, there is one restaurant in walking distance, normal food, not too fancy. I travelled without a car. The owner picked me up from the busstop in Aguas Claras, and arranged transport to and from the national parks.

“We had a wonderful time and hope to have the chance to come back.”
Beautiful lodge with extraordinary pool situated in a big, lovely garden with a lot of plants, birds and frogs and a pond. We had a beautiful, very clean room. There is a spacious open covered terrace where breakfast is served. Breakfast is delicious and rich, and provides everything one could think of, including a variety of bread, cereals, yoghurt, lots of fresh fruits, eggs, rück beans and vegetables, plus as much coffee/tee and fresh juices as you like. There is fast Wifi. The owners/hosts are extremely friendly, attentive and warm-hearted, and also provided us with tips and suggestions for activities.
