Karole is absolutely amazing. The apartment is on a family estate, it’s beautiful and very well furnished. We felt at home, far from the tourist area, in nature. We saw a lot of toucans and other amazing birds. Thank you so much. We had a blast!

First of all a big big thank you to Ernesto an Leslie, the owners of Vocaré, who made this wonderful and special experience so marvelous. From the first minute we felt like visiting friends, such a warm welcome for us and our two kids. Our kids loved the dogs (9), pigs, chicken and bats😉 Ernesto and Leslie made a super delicious breakfast with fruits from their garden. The Dinner was a dream, fresh smoothies with fruits from the trees next to you, vegetables from the garden and the best fish I have eaten. Ernesto and Leslie I told you, I will be back just to have dinner with you😉 The river next to Vocaré is so nice. We went swimming in the river, there is kind of a pool, also our daughter (5) could swim there on here own. All in one, one of our best experiences in our Costa Rica holidays.

Little paradise with amazing staff, nice facilities, and a clean wooden room. Amazing pools, nice little hike to a waterfall and wild life. A bit far from everything, probably part of its charm.

The lodge itself was fine, a bit basic but it was very spacious with a nice deck. But what really makes it worth your stay is the beautiful garden!! Birds everywhere such as toucans, aracari and parrots but you can also see horses, lizards, butterflies and more. Elias is a really kind host who helped us book a wonderful night tour and we can also recommend the breakfast. Rio Celeste is just around the corner. Overall really great value for your money!!

Such a nice family owned place. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The owners are amazing people, and they gave us a tour in their garden with nice plants including cacao and coffee, we also got to go for searching frogs there. Very recommended!

Our stay was an exceptional experience. Roger and Rose were super kind and helpful giving ideas for places to visit, where to eat etc. One of the highlights was the breakfast, every day with fresh fruit juice and varied costarican food. Malekus is located in a stunning location surrounded by nature at its best. Definitively highly recommendable!!

Authentic, homely feel. Cacao tour included with the booking was a nice touch. We have enjoyed home cooked meals and hot chocolate! The views from the lodge into the rain forest were fantastic. We have spent afternoons relaxing in the hammock or sipping cocktails in the jacuzzi overlooking the forest.

    The view was amazing. I loved laying on the hammock outside. Staff were so accommodating. We set a time with them when we would meet, but we ended up texting them 2 times to push our check on time later. So much to see in the area Great location to the park and this wonderful, beautiful restaurant , it seemed was out in the middle of no where. The coolest restaurant I have ever seen.

    Since we were in the low season, no food was available on place. Thanks to Tetiana and Mikhael, they helped us find solutions and we were satisfied. The location has great potential, lots of pools and the river, simply wow! Sauna was very appreciated. Lots of bird watching to do, sounds of them when waking up is very soothing. Garden and paths across are wonderful.
