Top Bajos de Chilamate Hotel Reviews

Maquenque Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic spot for birding and wildlife. Great facilities and plenty of tours to choose from. Highly recommended."

La Quinta Sarapiqui Lodge

8/10 Good

"Location & Property: The hotel is located about 15 minutes from Puerto Viejo, on the road towards La Fortuna. The property is very pleasant and well maintained, with the rooms spread across different cabins connected by paths. The setting feels peaceful and surrounded by nature, making it a nice place to relax and enjoy the jungle. Room: Our room was clean and comfortable, although quite basic. The bed was comfortable and the room had air conditioning, but there was no TV or fridge. The bathroom was clean and functional, with a shower and basic toiletries. Breakfast: Breakfast was fairly standard, with coffee, juices, and a selection of hot and cold dishes. Nothing particularly special, but it was more than enough to get the day started. Facilities & Surroundings: There is a nice swimming pool, although we didn't get to use it because of the heavy rain during our stay. The property also has several paths where you can walk around and enjoy the surrounding jungle. There is even a pond with alligators. We went to have a look, although unfortunately we weren't lucky enough to see any. All things considered, this is a nice place to stay if you're exploring the area or simply looking for a comfortable stopover. It would also be a good option when travelling between Tortuguero and La Fortuna."

Aranwa Sarapiquí Rainforest Lodge

8/10 Good

"The grounds here were very pretty- several trails where you could bird watch, and the view from the infinity pool was very nice. The staff were helpful and friendly. The only things we found to lower my rating slightly were that the rooms (depending on where you're assigned) can be a little way down a path and there didn't seem to be a golf cart/similar vehicle to help you with your bags. I had a group of teenagers, so hauling their own luggage wasn't a problem except that it was raining the night we stayed so everyone got wet moving luggage to our rooms. Also, you drive to the end of the road to register (and this is where you unload your luggage to take to your rooms), but then you've got to park your car in a lot closer to the main entrance, so there is extra walking involved if you had mobility issues. I know the beauty of the place is that it's surrounded by nature, but in one of our rooms we found 3 centipede/millipede type creatures (2 on the floor and 1 on the wall), and one other insect that weren't there when we first got into the room, but later likely came in via the crack under the exterior door. This freaked my daughters out as we found them right before bedtime, so if you were insect averse you might consider a location in a less outdoorsy place."

Nuakú Jungle

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a lovely stay at Nuaku! The hotel is tucked away in the middle of a beautiful, lush jungle, surrounded by wildlife, greenery, and all the wonderful sounds of nature. The property felt very peaceful, clean, and safe, and throughout our stay we genuinely felt at home. The staff made our experience especially memorable. Francisco, the manager, was incredibly kind, welcoming, and hospitable. He was always willing to help and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. We truly appreciated him! Melania was also so lovely and kind, helping us with our laundry and offering advice whenever we needed it. Breakfast was delicious, and we really enjoyed having it surrounded by the jungle. The pool and property were beautiful and added to the peaceful atmosphere. One thing to keep in mind is that you are truly staying in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle, so you will encounter insects! We saw tiny ants, praying mantises, leaf bugs, and plenty of other little jungle visitors. We personally found it to be part of the experience, but if you are very uncomfortable around insects, it is something to be prepared for. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and are very grateful for the hospitality we received. Nuaku felt like our little home in the jungle for a few days, and we would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and authentic stay surrounded by Costa Rica’s beautiful nature. Thank you, Francisco, Melania, and the entire Nuaku team! ❤️"

Chilamate Rainforest Eco-retreat

10/10 Excellent

"We spent a wonderful five nights here in a family room and it was a truly immersive rainforest experience we will never forget. You are deep in the forest and an abundance of wildlife is all around-including some in your room or on your terrace so you need to be comfortable with that. We saw many toucans, hummingbirds, howler monkeys, an anteater, possums, and many jungle insects right from our room and immediately outside it, The howler monkeys wake you at 5am every day with deafening calls which is really special- just don’t expect a lie- in! Facilities are basic and a bit run down and be prepared to be wet and muddy all the time, particularly if you do the resort’s trails into the jungle,- quite overgrown and not well marked unlike some of the larger rainforest attractions, so lots of care needed and not for the faint hearted. The staff is amazing and really made our stay magical, They were all so knowledgeable and helpful and really went out of their way to chat and make sure we had everything we needed, particularly Sergio and Suri. Breakfast and dinner were lovely buffets with a huge amount of choice of both local and international foods. I would only note two things for improvement about our stay- firstly would be to change the bed linen after 2-3 days for guests staying longer like us as the constant humidity and dirt makes it needed. Secondly to tell guests at check in how to radio security at night if required as no staff are on site at night."

La Laguna del Lagarto Eco-Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The perfect and premier ecolodge for birdwatching and photography in Costa Rica with unique opportunities to watch King Vultures and other rare birds. We saw 14 adult and 6 juvenile King Vultures at the feeding station, 5-20 meters away, together with about 40 Black Vultures. Fruit feeding stations attract dozens of birds including toucans, parrots and Great Curassows. About a dozen palm trees with breeding holes attract diverse range of birds to breed 5-15 meters in front of the lodge, including a pair of Central American Pygmy-Owl and two pairs of Black-crowned Tityra. Excellent delicious food prepared at the lodge’s restaurant."
