Incredible stay at Yatama with such nice people doing everything so you have great time.
Secluded in a primary rainforest, Yatama transports you in a different world so close to nature but yet with all comfort needed. Views from the cabins are unbelievable so you can spend hours looking for animals.
Trails are well maintained and you can spot many animals in the day and at night (monkeys, toucans, tarentulas, frogs, snakes, etc.).,
Special thanks to Jeremy and Luis, our guides in day and night walks, to Jennifer for such a good food. And of course to Pedro, the boss and owner of this special and unique place!

If you want a real jungle experience, this is the place. Combine that with comfortable rooms, a hot shower, stunning nature, very friendly staff and great food. That is Chilamate Eco Retreat.
We went for a rafting tour (booked in the hotel), it was AWESOME! Our guide was a pro-kayaker and knew this river like his back pocket. Friendly, funny and explains a lot about the nature there. The hotel provided water shoes as we did not have them.
Also book the Night Walk in the hotel. Because the garden and jungle around the hotel is full of animals! You won't spot it yourself, but with a guide you will see amazing nature. What we saw in the jungle garden: armadillo, snakes, banana spider, red eyed frog, poison dart frog, opossum, basilisk, bullfrog, bullet ant, lizards, and more!
So, we only got 1 advice for travellers: Go here. There is lots to see. Also good food at Sodas around the hotel.

The location was remote so really needed a car to get to. The location of the hut was beautiful with a river close by. Host was friendly and kindly took us into puerto viejo to meet us bus.
Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
We had a standard room that had mosquito screens but no windows so you could hear the river and sounds of the jungle. Also had walking trails around the lodge. We saw toucans, hummingbirds and many other birds and butterflies on the property. Listening to the rain was heavenly and we even got woken up by howler monkeys in the morning. The staff were super helpful and lovely. Helped us book taxis etc.
Beautiful, peaceful lodge. The sounds of the rainforest to sleep and wake up to. Wendy and family are fantastic hosts. Food, massages and all tours were exceptional 👌
We spent two nights at Selva Verde Lodge during our Costa Rica trip. The lodge offers beautiful, spacious rooms with air conditioning, which were honestly the best accommodations we had during our trip. The property is well-maintained, featuring its own trails, a restaurant, a souvenir shop, and daily guided activities. The staff is incredibly friendly and always willing to help.
Fantastic accommodation, surrounded by a rainforest full of wildlife. The night walk was wonderful, we saw snakes, spiders and a lot of frogs. The blue jeans frog was stunning and we hosted some bats in our lodge too! Food was plentiful and delicious, we wish we could have stayed longer
The lodge is very unique. The rooms are in traditional styled huts. Each hut has about 6 rooms inside, and the rooms are decorated with indigenous artwork. Each room has its own seating outside. The grounds are beautiful and very interesting to explore, set amidst an archeological site. The restaurant serves delicious food and has lovely open views. The on-site infinity pool is stunning. The lodge is next to a rainforest nature reserve with a river and hanging bridges. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended.
Deep in the forest, away from everything, but still working WiFi. You can get close by your own car, but the last kilometers you need the transport offered by the lodge.
Some real jungle trails around the lodge, you should use the rubber boots.
The lodge garden was amazing! You can see so many different birds during the morning breakfast. We saw more birds here than during our private 8hours birdwatching tour! Apart from that you can also see basilics and other reptiles around as well. The owner was very accommodating and helpful.
The Grand Gavilán Lodge is beautifully situated at die Sarapiqui River. It has it's own little jungle with nice trails through it.
The people there were very friendly and helpful.
The clean Swimmingpool was nice although some plants around it still need to grow ...
