It felt like I left my home in Seattle and moved into my home in Manaus.

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 a boat trip in the trustry Shamrock, even though the water levels were close to their all-time high, and Clive had to do some Brazilian-style negotiating to talk the marina into putting the boat into the water. The adventure had already started! It was very fun to get to experience day-to-day brazilian life with our hosts. Naice cooked us fantastic breakfasts, and is such a charming pleasant person, we didn't want to leave! We went on another boat trip, a swim in their pool, and a local soccer game, all of which would have been difficult without our trusty hosts. Clive even let my son beat him at chess, the ultimate in generosity!. It was seriously like visiting relatives, only the kind of relatives that you actually like and want to hang around with -- better than relatives! I cannot recommend Maguire's guest house highly enough. You should definitely stay there.

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" to have Sunday lunch. If I ever return to Manaus this is where I will stay.

We spent several days with Clive and Naice. What fabulous hosts and what a comfortable, tranquil place! As far as amenities go, they offered very comfortable beds, breakfasts fit for a king, personal chauffeur service to several interesting places, and were a great source of information on local restaurants and such. Oh, and I should also mention that Clive has some home brewed liquors that are quite nice to sample as well :D

Amazing Hosts + TV + Swimming pool + Rainforest: Cant get any better!

Maguire's Guesthouse

Stayed for 5 days, wish I cld hv extended my stay.

The hosts (Clive and Nice) run an un-typical guesthouse: Just 2 rooms - but it comes with features you would not expect from a guesthouse: swimming pool, TV in your room, a bathroom which is nicer than most ones in European/US-hotels. Outside areas where you can sleep during the day (if you are lazy) and enjoy the sound of the rainforest. When you wake up in the moring and look outside the window: the rainforest starts 10metres away. Amazing. Breakfast - great.
The guesthouse is outside of Manaus - I didnt mind as I went to Manaus for nature and relaxing. They have a bike you can borrow for a short ride. Also, Nice drove me around Manaus, also dropped me off/picked me up at the bus station (as I wanted to tour around myself), the 3 of us went on a boattour (they own the boat). Both of them love Manaus and it seems their goal is to show you how wonderful this world is.

I could not imagine anything better - if you wanna see Manaus, are into nature but also dont mind a swimming pool and TV :), thats the place you wanna go.
