The Hotel
Comprehensive short description of our hotel
The lodge sits right above the San Carlos River and private bungalows come equipped with a lounging area and a porch overlooking the river. There are two decks that sit high above the Rio San Carlos and offer great views of the river, the setting sun and makes for easy birding. In the evenings, the calls of both the Scarlet and Great Green Macaws are heard, and both are frequently seen. There are gardens, fruit and fruit trees right outside of the individual cabins that attract honeycreepers, orioles, oropendolas and even toucans right to your door.
The reserve for the lodge is actually about 2 km from the lodge. At the reserve there are a number of trails that take you through quality rainforest and native species reforestation plantations. There is also a separate lagoon to explore. There are covered decks and trails for you to bird from at the lagoon. The forest hosts hard to find species such as the Dusky Antbird, while the lagoon is home to rare species such as the Rufescent Tiger-Heron. Don Marco can set up a ride to take to you to the reserve, but the birding along the road is great on its own. You are welcome to bird without a guide; however Hugo is the guide available to take you to and through the reserve. Although Hugo does not speak English, he is able to communicate in one form or another, and visitors enjoy his company.

We would define our stay as the best place to discover Costa Rica s nature. It is a little peace of heaven on earth. The people are very friendly and make your stay as comfortable as possible. The nature walk is great.

We enjoyed a great time at the Lodge. Horse back riding, river trip, bird watching & the exellent cooking of Marco made our stay perfect. It will be unforgettable. Wish to came back soon. Wir genossen eine grossartige Zeit hier in der Lodge. Pferde reiten, Bootstour auf dem Fluss und das grossartige Kochen von Marco bereiteten uns einen tollen Aufenthalt. Es wird uns unvergesslich bleiben. Wir hoffen, bald wieder einmal vorbeikommen zu können.

Wauw, we had an amazing time in this lodge! Marco and family are really great! And he is an amazing cook :) Beautifull nature and a great view from every point of the place! When you want to spot animals, this is the place! Especially maccaws and toucans. Really recommended!
