Meghan, Davis and their entire staff are highly committed to making sure your stay at Chilamate is enjoyable and relaxing. The room was comfortable, the food was great, and the customer service was first class. The bird watching and wildlife viewing was great and William is an awesome and very knowledgeable guide. I am looking forward to returning there again. read less

You are totally in nature here. The people and food are also wonderful. When it's raining (which it does a lot), just relax in one of the hammocks hanging from every beam.

The retreat had recently reopened from a lengthy shutdown due to the global impact of the pandemic on tourism, but was in great condition and we had a wonderful, comfortable, educational, and adventurous stay! The resort is located in the small town of Chilamate on the Sarapiqui river, and maintains 55 acres of pristine lowland Caribbean rainforest and several kilometers of trails with which to explore it. The grounds are gorgeous, with covered walkways from the open-air restaurant/bar to the cabins, several grass garden areas and even a small clearing for sports and games. While exploring these walkways, you can observe interpretive signs of read less

David and Meghan, the owners were friendly and helpful, as was William who was an excellent guide for the tour around the area. Their whole ethos and how they contributed to the community and wider projects was very interesting and something we admired very much. As well as a walk through their forest and bird watching, we went swimming in the river and also white water rafting (arranged by Meghan) using the company based opposite the retreat, so a five minute walk. This was well organised and great fun, it lasted a couple of hours with a stop half way for freshly prepared melon and pineapple - good value too. The food at the retreat was freshly prepared and very good All in all, a very relaxing, enjoyable stay in a unique environment. Definitely recommended! read less
