Lodge Margouillat

Beautiful landscaping

Pros: We stayed in a villa and it was spacious enough and had a small equipped kitchen and a porch. The bed and bedsheets and towels were super comfortable. Really beautiful landscaping. The hotel has 2 pools. Nice breakfast. Thomas is very attentive.

Cons: Unfortunately our AC unit was not working well and the room did not get super cool but ithe tenperature was still comfortable. If you want to go to a remote area, this is the hotel for you. Not many things close by but, when I was looking for hotels in the area, this was probably the best option. No blackout curtains.

Super nice property and great location

Pros: The property was super nice, clean and unique. We stayed in one of gazebo cabin, the view of the balcony was overlooking the forest and very nice. We felt as if we had our one space. Excellent pool areas. Breakfast was tasty. Great location to beach and other activities. Thomas answered many questions on the area before and during our stay. Highly recommend. Wish we had more time.

Cons: All was good

A perfect place to relax

Pros: Lodge Margouillat is peacefull well situated in Nature you’ll hear the sound of birds and monkeys . The owner is very helpful and friendly. A perfect place to relax.

Cons: That we only booked 1 night…

Thomas is a great host and the resort is stunning

Pros: Thomas is a wonderful host. Always there to help you and give recommendations. The layout of the lodges make for a very private and peaceful stay. Lucky enough to have the pool next to our room to ourselves the whole time. Stunning resort. Thomas has done a great job!

Cons: We booked here for the tortuga island tour only to realise the boats go from montezuma so didn’t really need to be in tambor area at all in the end. There is very little around it or nearby and we didn’t have a car so would have felt stranded had we started any longer. No fault of the accommodation, just our own lack of research.

The best surroundings

Pros: The location was very peaceful and pretty. You definitely need a car if you're staying here but it is well worth it. The host is super helpful and sweet. Loved the coatis and the monkeys! Swimming pools, as everything else, were kept clean and pretty. The paths going around the place are beautiful. The breakfast was good, all the fruit was lovely, well worth the price. The room had everything we could have needed. No bug problems, some ants are to be expected.

Cons: You have to drive to town for food but the host is very helpful if you want to order in. The cabin was quite plain but that is of personal taste. Nothing to worry about.

Excellent stay

Pros: Thomas the owner is what makes this place so special. He's extremely kind and helpful, ordering food for us for dinner from the nearby restaurants. The property is beautiful with wildlife and two separate pools. Don't hesitate to book this.

Amazing lodge in the middle

Pros: Lodge margouillat it’s a must go in Costa Rica. Amazing place held by a very nice owner, Thomas. Very friendly, Cousy and familiar place. Me and my girlfriend love it straight away. It’s not a luxurious place but nothing is missing and everything is well decorated and in balance with evolving nature. The breakfast is good and you get to eat with Quatis.

Cons: Everything was great, just a little smell of wood mold on the Balinese cabin.

Pros: Loved the property, it truly was in the middle of the jungle and away from noisy roads. Breakfast was lovely (both the food and where you ate it), the swimming pool was really refreshing and we loved meeting the property's adorable coatis!

Cons: The cabin where we stayed was very cute, but smaller than we thought, and the bathroom (although private) was outside, which wasn't super convenient.

Peaceful and beautiful - a great place to stay!

Pros: Extremely friendly and helpful service from Thomas. Lovely breakfast, great view from our room and super swimming pool. Very quiet and peaceful.

Cons: Not a great choice of restaurants to eat at in Tambor but we drove to Montezuma where there was more choice.

Pros: Very hospitable, helpful and friendly owner. My mum and I really enjoyed our stay at the lodge!
