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.

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.

We loved the Macaw Lodge and most specially the wooden cabanas made of splendid exotic wood, the natural pools and cascades accessible after easy walk through the jungle, excellent breakfast overlooking beautiful exotic gardens and ponds. The opportunity to watch Martin pêcheur d’amazonie every morning, toucans tocard, pic ouentou, jacana du Mexique, dendrocygne à ventre noir, onoré du Mexique (French names)...we also recommend strongly this place for the kindness of the 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
