An exceptional property run by an incredibly kind and attentive couple named Roger and Rosy. The grounds are lovely, the product of the hosts’ efforts to plant thousands of trees and plants across the sprawling property. The facilities are very comfortable and spacious, everything was kept very clean and Rosy’s breakfasts are delicious and abundant. It’s a great base for exploring nearby sites and parks like Tenorio and Rincon de la Vieja. Would love to visit again and spend more than just a few nights there. There’s so much so see in Guanacaste and Malekus is a great home away from home to explore this fascinating region.

We had a wonderful 2 nights stay at Malekus Mountain Lodge. The place is beautiful, peaceful and immaculate. We enjoyed the large swimming pool. The area is great for hiking (they even have their own panoramic hiking trails on the huge property) and most importantly, the owners, Roger and Rosie are just wonderful hosts who made us feel more like friends than guests and provided us with great recommendations about points of interest in the area. Not to forget, the breakfast was fantastic, too. It included a buffet (fruits, cereal, yogurt, bread, sweets, coffee, tea, freshly made juice, and more) AND we got served a plate with eggs, and other items that varied (empanada, casado, potatoes, avocado). There are plenty food options (sodas) nearby for lunch and dinner.

Des hôtes incroyables des plus gentils que j’aie rencontrés! Tout dans le logement était parfait. La chambre très confortable (Wow les oreillers!!). La douche avec beaucoup de pression, la cuisine ultra équipée, la piscine spacieuse dans un décor enchanteur, le salon avec table de billard les jardins splendides et surtout un accueil des plus chaleureux! Vraiment un séjour que nous nous rappellerons longtemps! Merci Roger et à sa femme et famille!

Prachtige rancho tussen de vulkanen
We hebben genoten! De wandelpaden zijn mooi. We keken prachtig uit op de vulkanen en het meer van Nicaragua. De tuin zit vol kikkers, het ontbijt was gevarieerd en heerlijk. De familie super vriendelijk. Wij gaan nog eens langs :)
