Guacamaya Lodge

This lodge is truly a hidden gem, and we absolutely loved our weeklong stay here. It’s simple yet has everything you need, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home. The owners and staff are incredibly kind and helpful—you can tell they genuinely care about both their guests and the place itself. If you’re looking for a well-maintained, reasonably priced stay with delicious food in a peaceful, local setting, this is the perfect spot. You won’t be surrounded by crowds of tourists, and the beautiful Playa Junquillal—a true gem in itself—is just a five-minute walk away. For those who want a bit more adventure, the staff is happy to arrange all sorts of outings, making it easy to enjoy both relaxation and exploration. We usually lean toward larger establishments, but we were so glad we discovered this special place. We’ll definitely be back on our next visit! A special thank you to Jess for handling our booking, excursions, and everything else we needed—her help made our stay even more enjoyable. And of course thanks to Alice and Bernie.

We were recently in Junquillal, looking at property, and the Guacamaya Lodge was recommended as a great place to stay. We arrived mid-day on Thursday with only a one night reservation but soon after arriving — meeting everyone there, enjoying the comfortable room and the fantastic restaurant and bar, we canceled our plans to leave on Friday and spend another full day and night! EVERYONE there (Alice, Bernie, Joe, their amazing team — and the guests!) was extraordinarily polite, friendly and accomodating. The bar and restaurant were both terrific, the grounds were well maintained and the pool was spotless! If you are in the area, you must give the Guacamaya Lodge a try! It is heaven on earth! Thank you, everyone!

Très Très bonne nourriture, tous les plats goûtés étaient excellent! On mange mieux qu’à la maison au Canada. Chambre très propre, piscine très propre aussi. Des chaises pour les clients sont disponibles pour aller à la plage ainsi que de mini planches. N’hésitez pas de demander à Berie ou Alice de jouer une partie de tennis. Seul bémol est le prix des cocktails ou boissons alcoolisé élevés, a un prix moindre nous aurions sûrement pris quelques cocktails . Suggestion pour les propriétaires: le soir , sur le terrain à côté de la piscine il serait bien d’avoir des chaises de types Adirondack afin de pouvoir s’y installer et regarder les étoiles. Car il y a un superbe ciel étoilé
