We saw monkeys and an armadillo from the guest eating area! The accommodation is simple and clean (very livable!) and the breakfast was amazing. We had the best sleep we have had in years, falling asleep to the sounds of the rushing river and the animals! Thank you Chilamate! read less

It was a great value. The facilities are beautifully nestled in the forest, extremely clean and everything you need. We loved the family friendly atmosphere in all of the common areas. Next time we will spend more time exploring the river and trails. read less

Considering the location the facilities here are very good. We had hot water, Wi-Fi and, perhaps most impressively, no bugs in our room at all! The scenery is amazing - relaxing in our hammocks on the edge of the rainforest was a particular highlight. The guided tour with William was one of the best of our 2 week stay in Costa Rica and Meghan was very hospitable too. The food was lovely and, again, the setting beautiful. read less

Together we stayed for a full week. We love the comfortable, family atmosphere of the lodge. It is a great location for birding, swimming and rafting. We also took advantage of the local Chocolate Tour, the nocturnal walk and the early morning bird walk (so many, diverse and colorful birds!). And there was always time for late afternoon relaxation. Our grandsons had never visited Cost Rica. They flourished here, even attempted speaking some Spanish There is a real family atmosphere to Chilamate. Meghan and Davis promote the local community, and their care is evident in the conscientious friendliness of the staff. In addition, Meghan gave us great advice for local activities, and she facilitated scheduling and payment. We did not have to worry about prices or tips. She knows the community, and she took care of all the details for us. read less
