Booked through Expedia however hotel decided to downgrade the room I booked and couldn’t honour what I had actually reserved - also did not lower the price. They did given an upgrade for 1 night and a free tour but don’t think this compensated enough for the mess they caused. If you use a booking agent to make reservation be sure to double check the accommodation they are giving you. Place is lovely though and I would consider staying again.

This is a nature lovers paradise! We really enjoyed staying in the treehouse and enjoying all the wildlife. We had a few things come up during our stay and the staff was quick to rectify the issues. Breakfast was great and it has a beautiful view of the lagoon.

If there was an option to give more than 10 for excellent services, extremely courteous staff and the value of money - I would have done that. The facility and services were beyond our expectations. Would definitely recommend all readers to try this place - just 5 stars

This is a magical, peaceful place with many species of birds in beautiful grounds. The staff are all so professional, courteous & helpful. Specifically, Sylvia and Vicky in reception & tours were very welcoming and friendly; and Uriel and his team at the restaurant provided superb service in a relaxed atmosphere. We look forward to a return visit.

Our stop at Maquenque was one of our favorites. We didn’t realize we’d have to take a boat across the river (with a bunch of luggage and baby stroller in the rain) to get to the lodging, but staff was quick to help do all the heavy lifting and it was not a biggie. We enjoyed the boat tour and the dining. The included breakfast was great. Unfortunately, the lodges don’t have a/c. The amazing nature we were able to see made up for it!

A happy return

We came back to Costa Rica just because of our memories of the first time we stayed here and were not disappointed. They'd improved the dining room since last time but the birds were still as great. The last 20k of the approach is now sealed apart from the last 3.

Einmaliges Vogelparadies.

Tolle Unterkunft. Wie hatten eine Hütte in der Nähe der Rezeption/Restaurant. Die Anlage ist toll angelegt. Viele Rundwege, auf denen man insbesondere Vögel beobachten kann. Wir haben noch nie so viele verschiedene und bunte Vögel in freier Natur gesehen. Kaimane, Nasenbären, Schildkröten inclusive. Die Zimmer sind super sauber. Die Preise im Restaurant sind nicht überteuert. Einfach einmalig.

Wir verbrachten unsere Nächte in einem Baumhaus mitten im Dschungel. Die Lage der Lodge ist einfach einzigartig - eingebettet in schönster Natur. Wir konnten die vielfältige Tierwelt von Costa Rica hautnah miterleben. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und schön eingerichtet. Das Personal war ausserordentlich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten uns rundum wohl gefühlt und den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

Das Auto konnte auf einem Parkplatz belassen werden, bevor es dann mit dem Boot auf die andere Seite des Flusses ging. Dort sind wir denn bis zur Rezeption gelaufen, was uns schon einmal einen schönen Eindruck der Umgebung gegeben hat. Der Willkommenstrunk und das Erfrischungstuch wurden uns direkt an der Rezeption gereicht. Hier wäre es schöner gewesen, wenn man sich dazu irgendwo hätte schön hinsetzen können und dies nicht im Stehen zu sich nehmen hätte müssen. Die Unterkunft (wir hatten ein Tree-House) war super schön. Vor allem die nächtlichen Geräusche im Dschungel waren ein super tolles Erlebnis. Den Pool haben wir nicht genutzt, fanden diesen aber auch nicht so schön gelegen. Es konnten aus dem Restaurant heraus schon viele Tiere (Kaiman, Vögel, Nasenbären …) beobachtet werden.
