The opportunity to watch and then taste the chocolate at each stage was great. The project is self funded. asking for donations from visitors and the shop sells goods, including chocolate, which supports the local economy so you must buy something here to support this fantastic project. If you are in this area you should not use this wonderful experience, you will not regret it. read less

The hotel has it's own forest,very young but very rich. The staff make you feel like you are part of the family, plus the project has a strong connection with the local community. I am a vegetarian picky eater, usually I don't like hotels and never go back in the same place,but the food was so good and the place so amazing that I had to go back another time before leaving Costa Rica. Hard to find a negative thing to say, the parking lot is a little bit far but walking in the nature is always good. My favourite thing of this place are the guys at the reception, very kind and one is a really REALLY good nature guide. Have the breakfast and the offered tour in the morning and you won't forget it ! read less

Our cabin was very pleasant, with a lot of outside space (2 hammocks) and great wildlife views (howler monkeys, birds and leaf cutting ants). Easy walk to the riverside where there was always something to see. Expert guides on the day and the night walks who also gave information on the region and its customs. And always the welcoming sauce of pura vida. And of course the inspiring example of sustainability and building with and for the community. Far out the best accommodation we had during our 2 week stay.
Want to be away from the crowds and enjoy Costa Rica at its best, don't hesitate and book! More read less

We visited 3 years ago and just got back from a 10 day kayaking trip with Selva Whitewater. During our trip we stayed with Chilamate again and our only regret was that we didn't stay there more nights on our kayaking adventure around the various parts of Costa Rica. Megan and her family are just wonderful hosts, the location is amazing, the rooms are wonderful, and the food is simply incredible. We stayed in the loft near the walking trails in the back and it has tons of space, complete with recent remodeling and an incredible deck from which you can watch the birds, animals and listen to the jungle. In addition to outstanding accommodations, service and meals, Chilamate is taking the high road to help preserve the natural habitat, minimize environmental impact and supporting classes for the community and children in the area. I highly recommend staying there, and taking advantage of their staff naturalists who provide guided day and night nature walks in the jungle. Thank you Chilamate for making our recent trip memorable! read less
