We stayed in a villa and it was spacious enough and had a small equipped kitchen and a porch. The bed and bedsheets and towels were super comfortable. Really beautiful landscaping. The hotel has 2 pools. Nice breakfast. Thomas is very attentive.

“The best surroundings”
The location was very peaceful and pretty. You definitely need a car if you're staying here but it is well worth it. The host is super helpful and sweet. Loved the coatis and the monkeys! Swimming pools, as everything else, were kept clean and pretty. The paths going around the place are beautiful. The breakfast was good, all the fruit was lovely, well worth the price. The room had everything we could have needed. No bug problems, some ants are to be expected.

Thomas the owner is what makes this place so special. He's extremely kind and helpful, ordering food for us for dinner from the nearby restaurants. The property is beautiful with wildlife and two separate pools. Don't hesitate to book this.

“Amazing lodge in the middle”
Lodge margouillat it’s a must go in Costa Rica. Amazing place held by a very nice owner, Thomas. Very friendly, Cousy and familiar place. Me and my girlfriend love it straight away. It’s not a luxurious place but nothing is missing and everything is well decorated and in balance with evolving nature. The breakfast is good and you get to eat with Quatis.

Loved the property, it truly was in the middle of the jungle and away from noisy roads. Breakfast was lovely (both the food and where you ate it), the swimming pool was really refreshing and we loved meeting the property's adorable coatis!

“Wonderful location - away from - but close to beach towns.”
Lovely complex of individual chalets in beautiful setting built with two nice swimming pools - set 2 or 3 kilometres back from the sea - north of Tambor beach. Host Thomas is exceptional - friendly and offers good local knowledge. WiFi good and breakfast too. Would highly recommend.

Everything. The site is like paradise on earth. The staff, mainly Thomas was exceptionally helpful and so friendly and caring with a huge smile and a great attitude. The breakfast is generous and so refined with a great French touch. We also had the luxury to enjoy a great hot shower, which seems to nlbe quite rare in CR. A great hotel that I strongly recommend.

“Fabulous!”
Located in a quiet area - very peaceful. We enjoyed driving through a local community to reach Lodge Margouillat. Beautiful grounds - Thomas has created something very special. We were in Tambor bungalow - very spacious; lovely furnishings; wide, comfortable, bed with lovely bed linen; walk-in closet with shelves and hanging space; good-sized bathroom with large shower area; settee, coffee table, chairs and table in living room area; good-sized fridge/freezer (much bigger than expected); outdoor seating in secluded area. Two lovely pools - we made very good use of these. Thomas was a great host and was very welcoming - he gave useful recommendations and we enjoyed our conversations with him. We ate at Al Chile 4 times - good food, cheap, and where locals also eat.

The explanations by Thomas at the beginning were inspiring. The details of his luxury and very clean and secure resort were outstanding. We experienced more wildlife (animals) in his resort than in the guided tours around the country. We stayed 5 days and were pleased to go back to this oasis every evening.

“Perfect peace and privacy in stunning location.”
The accommodation was stunning and set in beautiful surroundings. The owner took great pride in his accomplishment having built it all himself and deservedly as it really was amazing. We enjoyed the 2 pools and the quiet surroundings and the very private balcony.
