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.
