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.

8/10 Very good

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!

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.

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.

We had two nights here, one in a bungalow and one in a treehouse. Both were fabulous. And the staff at Maquenque were so very caring about ensuring my husband (who is disabled) had a wonderful stay. I can't then them enough. They have made the start of our holiday in Costa Rica so very memorable with their care but also their knowledge of the birds and other wildlife.

Fantastic ecolodge
Amazing lodge in the rainforest, with a lagoon that’s home to caiman and turtles, and many types of birds including toucans visit the feeders in front of the restaurant. We stayed in a treehouse 60ft up in the rainforest canopy which is highly recommended. The staff are really helpful, and the guided tours of the forest and river are great.

Definitely on the top ten list of places I ever stayed at. Treehouse is fantastic. Birds abundant to see, from your breakfast table. 100% Chance to see the tucan.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
