A beautiful oasis off the beaten path. We had the lower bungalow for our family of 4. Wildlife, gorgeous grounds and proximity to refreshing pool was a nice addition. Breakfast was delicious with epic views.

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.

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
