Amid a tropical forest, these bungalows are the perfect site for guests to go canoeing at the nearby lake, or enjoy the outdoor pool and gardens. The property has its own fruit orchard. Maquenque Ecolodge’s bungalows have private terraces with a seating area overlooking the lake and feature private bathrooms with showers and toiletries. The property harvests 70% of the orchards produce and the on-site restaurant prepares with it local dishes. Maquenque Ecolodge also has a bar. About 4 km away guests will be able to find other food options. Hiking in the premises or go for a horse ride are some of the activities offered to guests. The property may also help with the arrangements for boat tours to Boca San Carlos or going bird watching. San Carlos River is 100 metres from the property and the town of Boca Tapada is 4 km away. San Jose International Airport can be reached in a 3-hour drive.

“Jungle paradise”
Wow, what an incredible place. Much easier to get to than we thought and much smarter than we’d imagined. Very helpful and professional staff. Great restaurant. So many animal sightings. Great bungalow overlooking the water so we could caiman/watch from our balcony. I was worried about snakes but we didn’t see any. No insects in the room either. Amazing jungle sounds. Great guided tour - thank you Jefferson!

We had a tree house, which is awesome! You’ll see monkeys passing by in the morning. Staff is extremely friendly. Beautiful surroundings.

Of course the terrace with the bird watching is amazing and we loved seeing toucans, coatis and many colourful birds up close. The whole team was super nice and professional. The walking trails and the free canoes were great.

“Incredible place to stay and watch birds in comfort.”
I was a little surprised at how big this place was, a large dining area, lots of different bungalows, an international dinner menu etc. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The room was good (though linen needed updating) and the main thing you go for is wildlife. The birding was extraordinary. You can be eating breakfast ten meters from a yellow throated toucan and myriad other birds flying in the feed. The staff are all very well trained and the operation is super slick. The pool is small but fine for a dip with the kids. The kayak trip down the 3A river was superb. Guide Luis was super enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable - a great asset. We saw lots (including a perching king vulture). Trails around the campus are good and free canoe for lagoons a good touch.

Saw lots of toucans and the rooms were really well spread about the property so had your own piece of paradise in the jungle.

“A paradise in the middle of nowhere”
Just WOW! It is so beautiful there - the bungalow was quite comfortable and spacious and with big windows. We loved every minute there. You see tons of different animals such as coatis, frogs, lizards, monkeys and many colorful birds - and that simply by wandering around a bit. The staff is so helpful, friendly and attentive - we felt directly quite at home and certainly want to come back one day.

“Truly amazing!”
One of those rare 10/10 hotels! We had an amazing time at this lodge and can only recommend it. Our bungalow was so beautiful, the restaurant has an amazing view and good food. So much food is homemade or homegrown. All the tours we did were great and super easy to organize. The amount of birds you can see from the restaurant is amazing. So much nature to see on their own paths, would definetely recommend a guided walk to make the most out of it. Very friendly staff. Great massage directly above the water. It all felt very luxurious and high end, but gave us lots of easy access to beautiful nature and wildlife.
