My husband and I stayed here for two nights. When we arrived we were immediately met by Kika (Cica?), the receptionist which is simply LOVELY! One of the most smiling and accomodating persons I have ever met! Throughout our stay she did everything she could to make us feel comfortable and easy, she organized both a full day horseriding trip,... More

My girlfriend and I just returned from a 10-night stay in Costa Rica, and the best three of those nights were at the Magellan Inn. It wasn't until we went horseback riding near here that we discovered this end of Cahuita, and nearby Playa Negra and Playa Grande. Just a short drive out of town on a bumpy but driveable... More

our family of 4 had a great two night stay at the end of January. We enjoyed the early morning sightings of agoutis, a huge iguana in a tree, and a sloth and her baby. Everyone there was welcoming and they brought out pancakes for my son who was celebrating his birthday. We were comfortable with the four of us... More

We first discovered this hotel in 1994 when it was practically new. It is just as wonderful now as it was then. Ownership is still in the same family - the gardens have matured and it is a delightful place to spend a few night while exploring the area.

We so loved the parrots, Jack and Chica! Terry was a gracious host, and eagerly assisted us in getting a last minute zip-line tour scheduled. She was very helpful and kind. The rooms a nicely appointed, beds comfortable, the pools is great, and the gardens are beautifly maintained. Breakfast was continental, but very tasty. We walked to the nearby Carribean... More

The place is realy very very nice! But, the owner didn't let us feel comfortable, she was very cool and not always so frendly. The Italian woman who was working there was on the contrary very nice and friendly and that was good! First of all, we booked a family-room for 4 person. We got a nice room, realy. But... More

I stumbled into this little bit of Heaven on Earth because it was late and I needed a place for the night. How lucky was I to find such a beautiful place. As I learned its history I loved it even more. Five Stars are not enough. Everything was perfect. Often digital photos make a place look better but looking... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at this charming little inn in Cahuita. We opted for the Standard Room which was clean and adequate, in fact the King size bed was quite comfortable. I'm a girl who likes fresh air, but we opted to keep the patio doors closed to keep out mosquitos...not a huge problem but since I... More

Last summer we (family, two kids of 9 and 11) spent several days in this little paradise, as our children still call this place. A beautiful, lovely swimmingpool in an exotic garden, with lots of birds. The owner helped us finding a place to stay in a different area, very nice! The breakfast with delicious bread(!) was quite a relief... More
