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).

The room was basically a small private bungalow with a unique feature: an outside toilet and bathroom in that it was part of the small outside garden but sealed off from view. I thought this was amusing though I can imagine some might find it bizarre. Another interesting feature were the birds visible when eating breakfast. I don't believe in feeding the wildlife but it was a pleasure to see so many birds including a few Aras (red parrots). We saw more there than in any of the parks. Breakfast was good and the pizza was good too...made by an Italian so it had to be. Great stopover place when travelling from the north pacific coast to the south atlantic coast.

We had an incredible experience! The views from the property are absolutely breathtaking – waking up to the lush greenery and scenic landscapes was a highlight. The host was extremely friendly and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. What made it even more special was the abundance of wildlife around. We spotted so many fascinating animals right on the property – a true paradise for nature lovers! Highly recommend staying here for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by natural beauty.

Marie was very welcoming. The room was great and very modern. The location is good and we saw scarlet macaws in the trees on the property. The breakfast was all home made and of a high standard. The pool was warm maybe a bit small but still lovely.
