The location was very peaceful and pretty. You definitely need a car if you're staying here but it is well worth it. The host is super helpful and sweet. Loved the coatis and the monkeys! Swimming pools, as everything else, were kept clean and pretty. The paths going around the place are beautiful. The breakfast was good, all the fruit was lovely, well worth the price. The room had everything we could have needed. No bug problems, some ants are to be expected.

You have to drive to town for food but the host is very helpful if you want to order in. The cabin was quite plain but that is of personal taste. Nothing to worry about.

Located in a quiet area - very peaceful. We enjoyed driving through a local community to reach Lodge Margouillat. Beautiful grounds - Thomas has created something very special. We were in Tambor bungalow - very spacious; lovely furnishings; wide, comfortable, bed with lovely bed linen; walk-in closet with shelves and hanging space; good-sized bathroom with large shower area; settee, coffee table, chairs and table in living room area; good-sized fridge/freezer (much bigger than expected); outdoor seating in secluded area. Two lovely pools - we made very good use of these. Thomas was a great host and was very welcoming - he gave useful recommendations and we enjoyed our conversations with him. We ate at Al Chile 4 times - good food, cheap, and where locals also eat.

We had 5 nights at Lodge Margouillet. Although the breakfast was good (fruit juice; coffee; toast and jams; fruit - pineapple, papaya and watermelon; banana loaf; eggs - scrambled or fried) it was the same every day. It became a bit repetitive for us - some variety would have been appreciated. We couldn't get any hot water in the shower, though with the humidity there, a cold shower was OK!

Thomas is a lovely host and has built a beautiful facility. We were lucky enough to be the only guests and received a free room upgrade from Thomas. The breakfast is very extensive and we had a choice of different dishes every day. The lodge is in a quiet location. You have to be aware that the lodge is a bit remote and there is nothing within walking distance. However, 2 restaurants also delivered food to the lodge (but we didn't try this). The room was clean and the grounds well maintained. You can observe a lot of animals in the lodge for example monkeys, coatis or birds.

The room and all the fabric materials smelled a bit musty, which is understandable in the rainy season. However, the lodge is not cheap, so a fresh smell would be great.

The Lodge was absolutely stunning. The sheets on the bed and the towels for the pool and bathroom were very plush and soft. The rooms had sitting areas that were private and nestled in the forest. The grounds were well maintained and lit at night. The two pools were beautiful as well as refreshing and very close to our room. I really enjoyed the morning breakfast often listening to the birds or a family of monkeys that enjoy the lodge as well.

It was such an amazing experience it is difficult to come up with anything I didn't like. The only negative is now the expectations for other accommodations have increased.

The location of the property was remote, which was exactly what we were looking for to start our trip. Thomas, the owner of the property, was an incredibly hospitable host who made us feel like we were staying with a close friend. He provided us with everything we needed to be comfortable, including towels for both the pool and shower, and other items we may have forgotten to bring. Additionally, he gave us many helpful suggestions for tours, food, and anything else we wanted to know. We had the property all to ourselves for the first day, which made it feel like our own personal oasis. The property boasts two pools - one warmer than the other (best enjoyed later in the evening) and one that was perfect for cooling off during the day. Each day we were provided with breakfast (toast, jam, juice, coffee/tea and fresh fruits).

Nothing, it was exactly what we anticipated and was even lovelier than we had hoped.

Didn't want to leave. Stayed four nights and could easily have stayed longer. The owner is French and so lovely and helpful. Accommodation was so well done, being set in beautiful gardens with 2 pools. The lodge room was so comfortable, beautifully laid out, excellent shower, and well thought out cooking area. The location is amazing, near Tambor Beach, which is beautiful and full of wildlife. Scarlet macaws on the beach were a highlight. Also close to Curu National Park, which rated very highly out of the 10 parks we visited in total. Excellent pizza place at bottom of the road with proper wood burning oven. Can't fault the place. Strongly recommend staying here.

Have nothing negative to say. Loved it all.

Lodge margouillat it’s a must go in Costa Rica. Amazing place held by a very nice owner, Thomas. Very friendly, Cousy and familiar place. Me and my girlfriend love it straight away. It’s not a luxurious place but nothing is missing and everything is well decorated and in balance with evolving nature. The breakfast is good and you get to eat with Quatis.

Everything was great, just a little smell of wood mold on the Balinese cabin.

Loved the property, it truly was in the middle of the jungle and away from noisy roads. Breakfast was lovely (both the food and where you ate it), the swimming pool was really refreshing and we loved meeting the property's adorable coatis!

The cabin where we stayed was very cute, but smaller than we thought, and the bathroom (although private) was outside, which wasn't super convenient.

Loved the casita, pool, breakfast (extra $12.50/person/day) and most of all Tomas, the owner. He was beyond helpful, offering breakfast, recommendations for dining and ordering dinner from local restaurants for delivery to our casita.

The Lodge is truly in the boonies, and given that Google Maps isn't extremely accurate in Costa Rica, it was challenging to find the Lodge the first night.

Everything. The site is like paradise on earth. The staff, mainly Thomas was exceptionally helpful and so friendly and caring with a huge smile and a great attitude. The breakfast is generous and so refined with a great French touch. We also had the luxury to enjoy a great hot shower, which seems to nlbe quite rare in CR. A great hotel that I strongly recommend.

Nothing, everything was exceptional
