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!!!!

Fantastic place, high standard (furniture, bed, shower etc) with amazing view, room and pool area. The hostess, Marie, took very well care of us, providing a welcome tray with drinks, fruits and pasteries), and an excellent breakfast (best we had in CR). This is such a chill place, the only thing we heard was the Ara parrots flying by. I give this place my highest recommendations.

The lodge was incredible, beautiful and quiet. The host was very friendly and accommodating - there were lots of great little extras (coffee, board games, snuggly blankets, great toiletries). The garden was amazing and we saw lots of lovely birds (hummingbirds and macaws). The host recommended a lovely local restaurant with authentic Costa Rica food. The location is perfect. We wish we could have stayed longer but we're only in the area for one night!

The room was spacious, beautifully designed and super clean. We really liked the restaurant, both the food and the staff - Helmer and Mario were super nice! We booked the hotel last minute because our first choice turned out to be terrible. We didn't regret it, loved the place!
