Ecotastic! We had a fantastic stay here at the beginning of our honeymoon. The retreat is well... read more laid out and the staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. Mechanic (one of the owners) certainly went the extra mile and helped us retrieve one of our bags which we left at an overnight stay in San Jose and managed to get it sent to the next resort on our little tour. William who greeted us at the front desk when we arrived turned out to also be an excellent tour guide and had a lot of information on the local rainforest, some of which is owned by the lodge. As an economic retreat they source all of their food locally and it really shows at breakfast lunch and dinner. As I'm writing this, one of the local farmers has shown up on his horse to deliver some eggs! The facilities are better than you might expect, considering the location and philosophy of the lodge. Not to be missed! read less

Rustic rainforest charm We arrived late in the evening and couldn't appreciate how amazing the location is. Our first... read more morning didn't dissapoint, we woke up early and my 9 year old daughter and I couldn't wait to explore. So a 5.30am we set off for a walk around. Within seconds of leaving the very clean and comfortable room we had spotted numerous birds and 2 species of poison frogs. Set right on the banks of the river and at the edge of the rainforest make for ideal wildlife spotting. Locally you can also visit many great attractions like rafting, chocolate tour and bird watching tour all of which I would recommend. The retreat offer there own rainforest walk and the guide has amazing knowledge and even better eyesight he spotted frogs smaller than a fingure nail and a sloth with its baby in a tree about 30ft up that it took us 10mins to see. The meals are all prepared fresh and are very tasty with local dishes and refreshing fruit. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The relaxed family atmosphere is fantastic and would recommend this place to any families with young and old kids. read less

A Natural Paradise If you are looking for a place to get away, relax, and enjoy nature, I would... read more highly recommend Chilamate Rainforest Eco Retreat. The owners Meghan and Davis are wonderful people. They will do everything possible to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The food is very tasty and filling and almost everything is made from fresh, local ingredients. William, their excellent naturalist guide takes guests of the retreat on wonderful nature walks and is always eager and willing to answer any questions about the flora and fauna of the area. The variety of wildlife found at the retreat is amazing. My wife and I have vacationed in Costa Rica fifteen times and this is our third stay at Chilamate Rainforest Retreat. It is without a doubt our favorite place in Costa Rica. If I had only one word to sum up our stays at Chilamate, it would be AWESOME. read less

We loved our stay here... Chilamate Rainforest Eco Retreat is a family run sustainable tourism project dedicated to rainforest conservation and... read more contributing positively to the surrounding community. (note: I plagiarized that sentence but it's accurate nonetheless.)

We got a recommendation to check this place out while on a snorkeling tour in Quepos. We spent our first 5 days in Costa Rica at a resort and were eager to see more of the country side over the last 3 days of our stay.

This jungle retreat is on the beautiful (and very clean) Sarapiqui river.

Meghan and David (proprietors) were really great; we loved the location of their place and the accommodations. We especially appreciated (and admired) their dedication and connection to the surrounding community.

Our kids were enthralled by their night jungle tour and seeing the neighboring chocolate plantation.

Meghan also arranged zip lining and white water rafting activities that our kids are still taking about (the guides were excellent hosts to our kids and their scientific knowledge of the local animals, plants and ecology was very impressive).
