Best Stay of Our Costa Rica Trip — Malekus Mountain Lodge
This was, hands down, the best place we stayed during our 10 days in Costa Rica. Not only is the property itself beautiful, but we had the pleasure of being the only guests, so Roger and Rosy treated us like family. They helped us shape our itinerary to have a more authentic, local experience, and honestly ended up defining our whole trip.
The rooms were comfortable — we had the one with a double bed plus a separate room with a bunk bed, and the windows looked right out onto the garden. There's a big pool, an open-air breakfast area, and a living room where we got to catch the FIFA soccer games in the evenings.
The property itself is huge. Right in the "backyard," Roger and Rosy suggested a hike that starts at a beautifully arranged fish pond — the kind of spot where you could easily spend an afternoon reading or doing yoga. Keep going and the trail leads to two miradores, one overlooking the mountains and the other a lake. If you're up for something more adventurous, loop back through the mountain trail — it genuinely feels like something out of a survival TV show, walking through tropical plants, animal sounds all around, crossing water on wooden plank paths. It was the most authentic hike of our entire trip.
Thank you, Roger and Rosy, for such a special experience at Malekus Mountain Lodge — we can't recommend it enough.

Very good food. Fresh from the garden fruit, vegetables and eggs.

The hosts are amazing and make you feel very welcomed. They are some of the best hosts we’ve ever had. Breakfast was so good and the property is very beautiful. We had an amazing time exploring the area while we were there. I stayed with two young boys and they loved it here.

Absolutely magical. Pictures do not do Malekus Mountain Lodge justice - it's truly so special and lovely, a work of art not just a place to stay. Roger and Rosey were kind, attentive hosts. The location was beautiful. We had wonderful breakfasts on site and a fantastic dinner just 600 meters away. With only 7 rooms and an intimate feel, this would be a perfect place for a family reunion, small destination wedding, or friends trip. Do know going in that the rooms are small and intimate, and there is no air-conditioning. However, the climate was temperate and the rooms and lodge are well-suited and comfortable. We loved everything about our stay - except for that we didn't get to stay longer! Already hoping to come again!!
