“It’s like staying in the garden of Eden, but with better food and a less judgemental landlord.”

Absolutely beautiful place with kind and considerate staff, great food and good opportunities to see birds and animals up close.

The grounds were incredible and the food excellent.

“Tranquility”

Stunning location Food was excellent all fresh & local

“Amazing farm on the hills”

The location itself is amazing, wonderful nature and trails to do. Yoga platforms for meditation, and many tours available. Locally grown food and home made cacao. You can have breakfast among birds and butterflies. Very cool bedrooms also in the main facility. Worth the long road, but surely needs at least a couple of days to be appreciated.

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.

Tranquility. We stayed in the main lodge half board. Lovely food. Wrong time of the year for parakeets and no monkeys in the area but lovely birds, basiliks and frogs. Great quiet trails to be on your own.

“A wonderful escape in a truly memorable eco lodge”

Wonderful remote eco sanctuary, rare birds aplenty

“Absolut perfect - dont only book on or two nights !”

The whole hotel area is a jungle / in the jungle, the owner is such a great guy and the staff is super nice !

Michael was thé best guide we had in Costa rica !!!!

“Amazing secluded place for nature lovers”

It’s amazing property in secluded place surrounded by pure nature. It’s touching Carara National Park and it’s home of huge variety of birds. We made a great birdwatching tour there with local guide. Local organic food that goes from farm to plate was delicious (i.e crepes with home made chocolate really surprised us). If you love nature or you are just looking for total tranquility, Macaw lodge shall be part of your consideration. You need a vehicle with high ground clearance to get there (unpaved roads).

“Very relaxing place, gorgeous gardens.”

Beautiful gardens, very peaceful, great place to unwind, nice waterfall, good food.

“Lovely place to stay but quite remote. We got lost on the walks.”

Truly eco friendly/sustainable.

“By far our preferred place during our 2 week stay in Costa Rica”

-The remote location in the middle of the jungle, accessible through 25km of difficult road/track - The bungalow - The trails (around 2km each) - The sounds of the birds - The very nice staff - The breakfeast - The very good value for the money

“Exceeded expectations”

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Food excellent. Very relaxing place to stay.

“Magical place! Tons of birds, beautiful setting, amazing food, lovely staff. We hope to go back!”

Macaw lodge is such a magical place. Beautiful setting, horiculturally interesting, and part of an important wildlife corridor. We saw so many different birds and animals. The highlight was our birding tour with Hugo, who is very knowledgeable about the area. We also loved sitting in the main lodge watching birds gather around the small pond. The food was fabulous, much of it locally sourced. We especially loved the fresh squeezed juice at every meal. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

“10/10 absolutely will return.”

Absolutely amazing. Excellent food, staff, and unbelievable location on private nature reserve with incredible plants and wildlife.

Need air conditioning and wifi in rooms

Need air conditioning and wifi in rooms

This is a magic place to discover the power of nature in Costa Rica. It worth to make the journey to visit them! There is a restaurant that serve their product and the breakfast is super! It is super organised considering they are in the middle of Carara forest 🥰. Wi-Fi is limited to the pubblic area (restaurant and reception) but this is a plus for us. Well done Macaw lodge staff!!!!

“À hidden jewel near Carara”

Everything: very nice and clean lodge with amazing Mountain View, nice restaurant with view at a very nice garden, peaceful yoga decks, waterfall wellness. Great staff!
