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

Had the opportunity to visit Terry at Magellan again, and it never ceases to amaze me why people would stay anywhere else in Cahuita. The rooms are clean, everything works (I find it stunning how many Costa Rican hotels have terrible maintainance issues), and when something goes wrong, Terry fixes it as fast as you ask. Walking around the grounds... More

Just to mirror a number of the reviews here, considering how quaint and intimate this little Inn is, you'd expect a little warmth from the host. The owner was not rude, but very cold. It's hard to describe, but someone was dead on when they said that she seems more concerned with taking care of her dogs, bird and horse... More

This place is absolutely fantastic!!! My friend and I planned a last minute trip to Costa Rica and decided on Hotel Magellan Inn. One reason was because I really like Magellan the explorer , but that's beside the point... What can I say? After our 4 hour drive from the airport we were greeted by Terry who was very friendly...

I fell in love with the property and the location. The inn is lovely - beautiful gardens with pool and exotic birds. I enjoyed sitting back with a drink and watching all the different birds that visit the garden. Terry was able to show us where the green dart frogs lived, and sure enough we saw them at breakfast the... More

First I wish to apologize to Ms. Terry for not taking the time to write this review before now but it was not until I was reading the others that I realized I never did. I actually visited the Magellan Inn in May 2010 on an R&R from Iraq and was simply looking for a nice quiet spot for some... More
