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.

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.
