Most wonderful and inviting lodge!! Our favorite in CR!! I'm sorry I haven't reviewed Chilamate Rainforest Eco Retreat sooner - we stayed there in early... read more April, 2017. The staff were wonderful and the food - delicious! After very full days, we enjoyed having dinner there rather than go back out since it was so tasty and a good value. Lots of options for vegetarians, as well. The lodge supports local and international educational efforts (there was a HS group visiting while we were there) and is close to all the natural spots in the area. One highlight of the visit was a walking tour with their naturalist, William, who was incredibly knowledgeable about what to see and where to find it. Everyone was very friendly and helpful - I just can't say enough about this wonderful place. More read less

A wonderfully relaxing place to stay! I stayed at Chilamate Eco Retreat for a week in February 2017. I was staying in... read more one of the bungalows, and was very well looked after by Meghan Casey and her staff. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful and did everything they could to ensure that my visit was comfortable and to arrange trips and activities for me.

The Eco Retreat is quiet and relaxing - you can spend many hours swinging in a hammock on your verandah, but there are also plenty of things to do and places to visit.

While I was there I visited a cocoa plantation, went on guided tours through the rainforest, did a cooking class, went on an ethnobotanical guided walk, and visited several wildlife parks. You can also go white-water rafting and go horse-riding.

Meghan was very good at arranging transport for me and she really made me feel at home. It was a wonderful visit and I can highly recommend it. More read less

Wonderful retreat Our reception as guests by William predicted everything our stay would turn out to be: extremely... read more well taken care of by Davis and his staff, great eye for detail, also on the nature walks, day & night, and during all the buffets. 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.
