“Great stay, great food, great chocolate, great staff. A MUST!!!! Great first night in Costa Rica, they really made it memorable. Definitely will be back.”
“We loved our stay at this property, we were shown around by Angie who seemed to be the animal whisperer. Wherever we went we saw all sorts of animals, monkeys, sloths, toucans, humming birds and so many more. It’s a beautiful paradise and we loved every minute we had here. We were sad to have to move on when we did. Thankyou so much for looking after us so well.”
“Best Stay of Our Costa Rica Trip — Malekus Mountain Lodge
This was, hands down, the best place we stayed during our 10 days in Costa Rica. Not only is the property itself beautiful, but we had the pleasure of being the only guests, so Roger and Rosy treated us like family. They helped us shape our itinerary to have a more authentic, local experience, and honestly ended up defining our whole trip.
The rooms were comfortable — we had the one with a double bed plus a separate room with a bunk bed,...
“Rio Perdido was absolutely incredible and easily one of the highlights of our Costa Rica trip. From the moment we arrived, the service felt personal and thoughtful. A golf cart picked us up at the entrance, our luggage was taken directly to our room, and everyone made us feel genuinely welcomed.
We stayed in a Center Bungalow and loved it. The outdoor shower was one of our favorite experiences of the entire trip, the room had beautiful jungle views, and even the shampoos and hand washes smelled...
“Excellent stayall around! The family who maintains the place was very friendly and a joy to talk to. It was a perfect way to spend our first evening in Costa Rica! Breakfast was delicious!”
“This was a great place to truly experience the beauty of this part of Costa Rica. It is a long drive and one must be careful to take the right roads but we had a great experience and wish we could have stayed longer.”
“The nicest people and wonderful hosts. I mentioned that we would be celebrating our daughter’s bday while we were there and they knocked on the door with a huge slice of chocolate cake and a candle and sang Feliz cumpleanos. It was the sweetest thing and so special for our family. It was such a kind gesture and it set the tone for the rest of our time there. Breakfast was a lovely production. We entered the dining room and they just started bringing out entree after entree, fruit, eggs, gallo...
“I loved my stay there. I somehow thought that there were hot springs on the property which there are not. I tried to drive to them but it was quite a long drive and I took a wrong turn and then was not able to ultimately hit the hot springs before they closed. Aside from that I really enjoyed my stay and loved the property. I would totally go back.”
“This is a perfect place to stay for anyone planning to do the Tenorio Volcano hike, as the trail is walking distance from your room. Cecilia was an incredible hostess, diligent and super friendly. The room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. No complaints at all❗️”
“The must-visit place in North Costa Rica! Exceptional hospitality and super friendly staffs and the food is also you should treat yourself. It actually one of the best stays I have ever been in the whole world. ”
“There are not many options in this areas. The room was pretty small but OK. The pool was OK but is small too for such a large lodge. Although we were told not to use the towels of the room because there are towels at the pool - there were no towels refilled. No problem for us but not the service promised. The restaurant prices looked OK - however, we decided to drive to the little village nearby. Breakfast in the hotel was definetely too expensive. It is OK to stay here but if we would come back...
“Suite deluxe propre, accueil chaleureuse, ambiance détente et excellente vue sur les montagnes/volcans. Resto de pizza/pâtes excellent. Plusieurs activités sur place incluse !!”
