Lodge Margouillat

The property is beautiful, Tomas is incredibly helpful and passionate, comfy bed, nice pools, yummy breakfast (bread/ jellies, coffee/tea, juice, fresh fruits, eggs) & close to beaches and Bioluminescent tour in secluded area so plenty of nature to enjoy. The entrance sidewalk is steep so wear hiking/tennis shoes not sandals/ heels, Tomas did offer to help us bring our bags up which was nice but just be aware it may not be accessible for everybody. There is no in room coffee maker (provided at breakfast) or television but great wifi so I was able to stream Disney on my device when I wanted & it allows you more time to enjoy nature, also the fridge in the room was pretty big and you can flush toilet paper down toilet and there was a clothes hanger on the porch which came in handy for our wet clothes, I did not see a safe in room, and it was helpful to have a 4x4 vehicle to get there. My only complaint is the AC didn't get quite cold enough (but that was a pretty common theme in CR with the humidity at the end of May), there was a fan in the room which helped and I was able to still sleep comfortably. Tomas did offer laundry service for $8 which was very helpful because we had a load of dirty/wet clothes- they washed, dried and had them folded in our room when we got back that evening. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend the property, amenities & staff!! Thank you Tomas for your hospitality.

Such a pleasure to stay here. We loved it and it was better than we expected. Breakfast was tasty.

Such an ideal place in the forest. Love the separate shower/bathroom buildings. Great breakfast. Very relaxing clean etc.

Thomas was a great host. He was super knowledgeable about area and even drove us to a couple places before we decided to rent a car. This is a hidden gem. We got to see monkeys from our balcony in their natural habitat If you're looking for a quiet romantic getaway, this is it. I do recommend renting a car as things are a bit away. But close enough for day trips.

This place is perfect getaway. If you need to get off the grid (although, you still have excellent internet reception) for a bit, fly into San Jose, rent a car, take a ferry and stay at this beautiful little gem. When you get there, you'll be greeted by Thomas, a great host and an even better man. Anything you need, Thomas either has it, or knows how to get it. Carlos, aka Charlie is around for assistance also, if needed. We stayed here for 7 nights, and loved every second. Our villa had a full kitchen, A/C if needed, nice sized private patio and a huge shower. So if you've packed on a few pounds, no worries....you and the significant other can still play in the shower together. We had fun. We'll definitely be back. P.S. be nice to the two Coati's who visit frequently, Wanchu and Pitchu.
