House of the Macaws

Great to observe macaws

Pros: Amazing place to observe macaws and other wildlife, sometimes right off your balcony! The pool was great too, staff were very welcoming and friendly. Just a very short walk to the beach with a beautiful sunset. Parking was secure (they close the gate at night). Would recommend!

Love to come back

Pros: Friendly staff Great pool Walk to the beach Excellent food at the restaurant. Thanks to Joanna

A feeling of stepping back in time. Macaws everywhere!

Pros: This is a family owned establishment. The staff were wonderful and made us feel at home. This hotel doubles as a school for the local children. It was a unique and lovely experience staying here.

Cons: The facilities are very run down but clean and affordable.

Good value for money

Pros: Hotel is under new management and they are very eager to improve the place. There still is a lot of work to be done but the pool, the breakfast and the dinner were excellent. The rooms are basic but clean and there was no hot water when we stayed there, but it was not necessary. Staff was very nice.

Cons: I think they are on a good path to improve the place. If you a looking for good value for money and don't need luxuary than give it a try

Great value

Pros: Macaws. Clean and tidy, friendly staff, good value, parking near rooms

Pros: Agustino was very king and helpfull, the place is very well maintain, awesome Access to the beach through a little park where you can see many couple of arras very well. Better than in cararra national Park actually.

A local quiet place with lots of Macaws.

Pros: It’s a bit worn out, but is situated in a smal cozy village by the sea. Macaws flew around and were so beautiful. It’s easy to go to Carara National Park and the crocodile tour is down the road. We were happy to stay in this quiet and local place in stead of Jaco near by. The staff were extremely helpful and we were even invited to a 15.th birthday. It is not touristic at all, and we felt we were in REAL Costa Rica.

Cons: They only served traditional breakfast. But if you ask kindly, you can also have some fruit.

Pros: Very nice place with a swimming pool right in the heart of beautiful Costa Rica nature. The staff was very helpful with arranging my trip request. It is away from busy places, nice and quiet.

Cons: N/A

A friendly place to stay.

Pros: The breakfast was very good - a good choice, plus juice and coffee. Dinner was good too and there were a lot of options. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I was upgraded to a better room on arrival which was a nice surprise. There is a lot of wildlife around. The restaurant is a pleasant place to eat and there is also a little area with comfy chairs and books where you can relax. There is a little path leading to the beach, which is stunning. There is also a fairly large swimming pool.

Cons: Nothing - it was all very good.

Lovely place for birding, needs a fresh up.

Pros: It’s a lovely place for sure. We saw many macaws and other interesting birds flying around. The hotel has a faded charm, but the owner should not wait anymore with some fresh ups and serious investments. Lovely host that really cares about her guests. OK Breakfast and suitable for basic diners too.

Cons: It’s getting old here…(2023).
