Manaus is awful. Only thing of interest to see is the opera house and the place itself needs to be given a wide berth. But on the way to see the Amazon Maguires is a gem. The owners are so helpful, fetching you from airport, taking and fetching you from the city which is great believe us. The place is... more

Clive and Naice are wonderful hosts who make you feel like you are old friends who have come to visit. The rooms are spotless and well-oppointed (and airconditioned), and the grounds are a little tropical oasis. Clive and Naice were amazingly friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond the call of duty to make our stay enjoyable. The guesthouse... more

We can recommend this guesthouse if you want to stay close to the airport but in a quiet neighbourhood outside the hustle and bustle of Manaus. The owners are lovely hosts and are willing to help you with everything. They have a nice garden with hammocks and a swimming pool . We stayed in one of the standard rooms. It... more

My wife and I have just returned from a memorable trip to Brasil. We wanted to visit the Amazon but only had 4 days, which ruled out any trips to locations distant from Manaus. We were also aware of the high prices and Club Med atmosphere of some of the jungle lodges we reviewed. We decided on Maguire's Guesthouse based... more

We only spent 2 nights at the guesthouse (it could have been more...) It's a perfect place to stay and recover from the loud and crowdy city. The owners really provide a great service !!! more

Perfectly accomodating, modern and clean. Price was great. Pool was refreshing. The breakfasts were delicious. Clive picked us up in the middle of the night from the airport without a hint of complaint. Naice drove us all around, even way downtown, and volunteered to come back later to pick us up. What amazing service. We recommend Maguire's Guesthouse to anyone. more

THANK YOU to both of the owner hosts Naice and Clive ! Your place has us given the feeling this would be the home in a this very different world called the Amazon. You shared your life with us. This kind of experience I will always embrace, it is so much more meaningful when learning about new cultures. Naice, your... more

My son and I stayed with Clive and Naice for four nights in June 2009, and it was perfect. Clive met us at the airport, even though we arrived at around midnight, and was very patient with all of our questions about local customs, wildlife etc, in spite of the late hour. On our first day Clive took us on... more

The other reviews have said it all. I stayed twice here in between going to one of the jungle lodges and was there over Christmas. I could have been really homesick but because Niace and Clive were so welcoming I enjoyed my Christmas in the tropics. They even took me out on their boat to one of the Amazon "beaches"... more
