Fantastic hosts! Norem, Esteban and Valeria made us feel at home right away and went out of their way to accommodate us. Breakfast and dinner (with the hummingbirds around) were delicious, prepared to the point and with several dishes to choose from. The cabins are all new, very well designed and furnished, the bathroom with steady and immediate hot and cold water supply. A garden with a small trail are in the making and will make spending time in the crisp and clean mountain air even more worthwhile. We can highly recommend Curuba Lodge which became our favorite place in Costa Rica! Tip: Esteban can connect you with a few guides to see the rare and iconic Quetzal birds.

Beautiful location, absolutely stunning views of the forest. Staff extremely friendly and helpful but not overbearing. Lots of beautiful birds around. Highly recommend taking the quetzal tour to see this amazing bird with Grieven, who is really an expert on these creatures. There is also some very nice, but very hilly and tough hikes on the property which are worth the climb. Highly recommend

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).
Incredible nature, wildlife everywhere, delicious food, impeccably clean accommodations. But the people of the lodge (and community) make the real difference. We were sorry when we had to leave! Thank you Juan, Gustavo, Evelyne and everyone else.
- dinner and breakfast were great - unique location, 2700 m above sea level, - hummingbirds at your doorstep and the famous quetzal in the area - wooden houses with lots of warm blankets and an electric heater
Everything Great property. The rooms are very modern, big and clean. The staff (Chris and his wife) were very kind. The pool with jungle view was a dream. It was quiet and safe. The breakfast was healthy highly recommended this Paradiselodge in Nauyaca
Located in the mountains, we could see lots lots lots of birds. A trail with access from the lodge where we could see a beautiful waterfall and more fauna! Great breakfast, did not reserve for the supper and were sad we did not.
The staff are wonderful and helpful in every way possible. The lodges are so atmospheric, with stars galore at night and wood fires if the weather gets damp. The hummingbird garden by the stunning restaurant vista is bliss. The best thing I can say is that my wife and I both felt slightly bereft when we came to depart. Wonderful homely and peaceful place to stay and from the owner to every single staff we were made to feel warmly welcomed. Also, they helped us organise a quetzal tour which delivered us many of those beautiful birds.
Macaw lodge is such a magical place. Beautiful setting, horiculturally interesting, and part of an important wildlife corridor. We saw so many different birds and animals. The highlight was our birding tour with Hugo, who is very knowledgeable about the area. We also loved sitting in the main lodge watching birds gather around the small pond. The food was fabulous, much of it locally sourced. We especially loved the fresh squeezed juice at every meal. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The lodge is a place to sit back, relax, and watch watch humming birds go about their business.
We spent 5 weeks travelling in Costa Rica and this was definitely one of the best places we stayed at. Excellent lodges, lots of space, great shower and perfect beds. Staff very friendly. Breakfast is amazing. We also had dinner in the restaurant which was also very good, reasonable prices.
