The land and the gardens are amazing. The views from the balcony were also great, specially for birdwatching. The breakfast was delicious. The staff was kind and very focused on the details.

Very idyllic stay at Cascada Elysiana, only wish it was longer! Loved the single room cabin with the outdoor shower. Everything felt very secluded, private, natural and clean. Interesting cabin architecture, and loved all of the light streaming in the windows each morning. Excellent breakfast overlooking gardens and hummingbirds. The staff made it feel very communal, and they did a great job of making sure we were well looked after. I would definitely consider returning even as a solo traveler for some quiet, peace, creative and meditation time.

Great location and nice mountain view. Wonderful staff, family-run hotel, we were greeted by the lovely and friendly grandmother who gave us good tips about the area and directions to a hike around the property and a hiking trail to waterfalls nearby.

Enchanting oasis of intentional regenerativity nestled at the feet of Chirripo mountain. Lots of birds to greet our stay. Tricia is a wonderful host and her family and staff were very caring. The local coffee shop was closed that morning and Tricia very kindly invited us to share breakfast with her family. We felt very welcome and privileged to share the valley for a day.

This is a really nice lodge with simple rooms and a really good breakfast. Staff was exceptionally good as was the dinner and dessert menu. The shower was very comfortable with nice warm water available on very cool mornings.

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).

This very nice lodge sits at a very convenient but also beautiful location en route to Tortuguero from San Jose. The large rooms have a lovely balcony with a very nice view over the grounds and valley. Even though we arrived late, a lovely meal was prepared for us and put in the room for us to enjoy after a very long trip. Breakfast was amazing but the true stars are the owners/ staff
