A truly magical experience to stay at Hacienda Las Vainillas! Extremely peaceful, amazing views and wonderful rooms and facilities. Frederique and Phillippe are very kind hosts, cooking wonderful meals and arranging trips into the forest to swim in waterfalls on their land. On my top 3 list of best accommodation experiences during 30 years of travelling.

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).

It’s a really nice place to stay. Everything was perfect, the food, the beds, the staff, the owner and his family showed us so much kindness and hospitality. Beautiful place with a terrific view over the surroundings. Would love to come back!

Most wonderful place I have visited, in the middle of nowhere but still in the middle of a paradise. Lovely and flexible owners and very warm welcoming.

Here's a list of the great things about this house: -The owner is exceptional! He communicated with us 2 weeks before our arrival and answered all our questions. This was our first trip to CR, and he gave us so many great tips. He gave us recommendations for where to stop for lunch along the road to the property from San Jose to where to shop for groceries. He was also very flexible in coordinating payment. -Gilberto is the property manager and he was extremely attentive. He met us at the house within a minute of our arrival and he was always available any time we needed anything. In fact, we needed an extra blanket for one of the beds and Gilberto showed up with a new comforter within an hour. We have had room service at hotels take longer! We felt like with Gilberto, we had a concierge. -The house is set back from the main road and very private. It has tall hedges that surround it and a gated driveway for added security. At night, the porch has retractable doors that can be closed. CR is safe, but we appreciated the sense of safety of being in a house that had added security features. -The town of Parrita has everything that you need, but it is not touristy. It has multiple grocery stores and convenience markets, and it is halfway between Quepos and Jaco. Plus the Playa Bandera is only a five minute drive from the house and it is a gorgeous and almost deserted beach. If you want just a beach vacation, you can stay at Hotel Villa Elenita and never leave the town of Parrita. -The kitchen appliances are new and top notch. Everything was clean and operated without any problems. -The bathroom is huge, clean, has great hot water, and the water pressure is good. -The bedrooms are big with plenty of storage space, and the beds and pillows are amazing. Everyone in our family slept like babies at Hotel Villa Elenita. We felt like the beds at this vacation house were more comfortable than ours back home!

The staff !! Ana is a perfect host, she has welcomed us as her family

The host is lovely, the room is clean and spacious. The breakfast is amazing. We really enjoyed our time and would definitely book again.
