The location is great if you want to visit Carara National Park. The food is fabulous, especially the wood fired pizza. The room was also very spacious, clean and the bathroom is outside which makes the whole experience very wild. You can be sure that you will see scarlet macaws there, flying around and coming to feed near the restaurant (usually between 4-5 pm). It’s a bird paradise. The pool was also great, clean and you can see the sunset while soaking in the water.

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.

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!!!!

Good base to go on river tour (birds, crocodiles) and walking tour of Carara Park (strongly recommend a private guide). Very hot; get a room with air conditioning, and get to the park when it opens to avoid heat and crowds, and increase wildlife spotting.

This is a great spot for birders.

This is a great spot for birders. Walking the road to the lodge in the early morning was the best birding I've ever experienced. So many species seem to travel along the ridge. The birding tower was a great spot for late afternoon/sunset views and observations. The room was fine. The bed is not the most comfortable and there is no sound barrier between rooms, but I wasn't there for relaxation.

Tarcoles is a fishing village between two rivers.

Tarcoles is a fishing village between two rivers. It is an excellent place to base yourself for birdwatching and potentially could be great for sea fishing given the amount of fish landed. Chepes Bar / Restaurant is a good choice for meals or at the other end of town the hotel House of Macaws. This is the real Costa Rica with real Costa Ricans living there. No Banks, No souvenir shops, no shoe shops, no clothes shops. Just Grocery Shops and cafes. It is close to the Carara National Park which is well worth a visit and there are hourly buses to Jaco which has the nearest ATM and a variety of shops
