Highly recommended This is a delightful place to stay; very welcoming and friendly.

Great lodges, location and nearby trips. The free guided jungle... read more walk was excellent.

Wonderful retreat Our reception as guests by William predicted everything our stay would turn out to be: extremely well taken care of... read more 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.

It PUts the "Chill" in Chilamate You are in the rain forest and you really can feel what living there is really like. A true eco... read more retreat with great organic food and wonderful host family and staff. We even got to participate in the cook's birthday party. Only five cabins and a dorm make for an intimate experience. Tucked across the river and near a swimming hole with a old time bridge, it feels like you are in the country. 55 acres of rain forest with trails and a staff naturalist (William) to take you on nature walks. No ac, no tv but fans and wi-fi keep you going. Near great bio research and bird pavilions. We were four adults and two children and we all enjoyed our four days here. More read less

Heart-warming, illuminating, and inspirational The rain forest embraced us. The staff cared for us. The guided tours opened our eyes to the rich flora... read more and fauna of our environment. And we were inspired by Meghan and Davis's dedication to both preserving the local rainforest and to also helping the local community to join in the effort. We stayed there for eight days, not wanting to venture elsewhere. But locally we did guided walks, daytime and night time. We also rafted and rode on boat tours. And we engaged in daytime work shops in cocoa harvesting, organic gardening, and ethno-botanic gardening. I loved just sitting on my patio, reading and listening to the river, the birds and monkeys, appreciating the dappled sunlight on the palm trees. The food was excellent, other guests were engaging, and the coffee was great! read less
